Scenes From a Quarantine, Part 6
May 17, 2020
My Zoom hangouts have taken on a whole new life as an opportunity to seize a theme. To follow, an epic David Lynch call, Fancy Pants Thursday and the sequel to the Rat Pack, the Brat Pack. Who would ever think this is how you had to hang out with friends?! Not me, but we’re making the most of it.
On Part 1 of a series of David Lynch nights, I would be Nadine Hurley of Twin Peaks… because I just happen to have a cheerleading costume… as I have many random costumes acquired through decades of thrift shopping.
Gooooooo Ridiculousness!
The Black Lodge virtual background transformed my couch.
From the top: Blue Velvet‘s Sandy, Twin Peaks‘ Nadine Hurley, Twin Peaks‘ Dr. Jacoby, Twin Peaks‘ Woodsman, Eraserhead!, Twin Peaks‘ Dead Laura Palmer #1, Lost Highway‘s Mystery Man and Twin Peaks‘ Dead Laura Palmer #2. Everyone brought it! Rivals our Twin Peaks photoshoot from TEN YEARS AGO. Geez. I’m excited for our David Lynch night, part 2, where I have asked a special mystery guest to join the call.
Ends with a remote hug…
Sick of our pajamas, we decided we’d go clubbing on a recent Zoom. So I got into one of my favorite fancy dresses, in the fancy dress section of my closet. I even tried to apply eye shadow, which I am terrible at.
Caution: Corona curves…
My virtual background fail… My apartment is no nightclub.
Next, the Brat Pack! I was Brian, The Brain.
When John makes Brian put his “doobage” in his pants. I used my Mediterranean oregano… This is me as a nerd boy.
And though she would never dress up in any capacity, a lovely call from my LA friend. So nice to have such great friends to share this strange time with. It’ll be fun to look back on these posts when our world changes. What are you doing to mark this time in history?
