If you Google "Edie Sedgwick" - at the top of the page are three images - you know how Google does that sometimes, then you can click on "Image Results" to get more. But one of those images is a photo of Mitchell and me - on Halloween - dressed up as Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol. That damn photo has been climbing up in Google results for months - especially when Burnt Sienna made her movie about Edie - but now it's on the first page of Google, that stupid photo. The majority of my traffic right now is coming from people clicking on that photo (which - makes me laugh ... hahahaha ... It's NOT Edie!) ... and then obviously clicking away, because it leads to this post which ... You know, if you're looking for Edie Sedgwick, you don't want to see some random little girl in a bunny suit. I find the whole thing totally amusing.
Mitchell: we have conquered Google. We ARE Edie and Andy now. God help us all.
Posted by sheila | TrackBackI love the idea of someone looking for info on Edie and seeing little you in a bunny suit. It's so random.

Posted by: Ceci at July 20, 2007 9:55 AMummm...by any chance do you think people google pictures of clowns bitching out strangers spilling crap on kitchen floors then not cleaning it up?
Posted by: just1beth at July 20, 2007 9:58 AMI love that Halloween post. Sharon Tate, heh.
Posted by: Cullen at July 20, 2007 10:13 AMBeth - hahahaha I know
Or clowns chatting with Indiana Jones??
Do you have any pictures from that party?
Posted by: red at July 20, 2007 10:15 AMSadly, I don't. Just in my head, man. Just in my head.
Hey- I miss you!! I want to figure out when I can get to NY, or when you can get to RI....
ME TOO!! we need some pool time or NY time. something involving wine and good eats.
Posted by: mere at July 20, 2007 10:42 AMI know, beth - we are long overdue for a visit!!
We need to talk about We Need To Talk About Kevin some more!
Posted by: red at July 20, 2007 10:43 AMAre you guys around on Aug. 4? I was thinking of coming home that weekend. The week after that I'll be on the Cape ... but I am seriously jonezing for some friend time.
Posted by: red at July 20, 2007 10:45 AMaug 4th sounds good to me.
Posted by: mere at July 20, 2007 10:50 AMRats, August 4th is no good for me... Oh, wait, not only was I not invited, but there's that pesky restaining order that says something about 50 yds distance from Ms. O'Malley.
Seriously though, I just LOVE how y'all use the comment section like a personal IM/Email exchange; it's so cool.
Posted by: JFH at July 20, 2007 11:40 AMAug 4th is bad for me too.
Oh wait......I wasn't at the Andy Warhol Dress Up Halloween Thing, nor was I invited for Friend Time.
I see.
Gotcha.
Posted by: Alex at July 20, 2007 1:33 PMhahaha
If you come to RI on Aug. 4 - you are SO invited to Friend Time!
I guess I may just have to wait for our Las Vegas Diva trip.
You ARE going. There's no turning back. After all....Bette is waiting.
Posted by: Alex at July 20, 2007 1:38 PMI know! The only reason I haven't RSVPd is because I am basically a loser.
We have to re-connect soon anyway - I'm dying to catch up with you guys and hear about the play and stuff.
Posted by: red at July 20, 2007 1:41 PMI'm calling you this weekend.
For some reason, I keep thinking about the brakes, and the body and the car. Why we don't have a commemorative picture of that weekend to end up on Google is beyond me, Sheila.
Posted by: Alex at July 20, 2007 1:58 PMOh my God. That dead body and me tiptoeing past in my sandals, as you're like, "GET OVER HERE. NOW!!"
and then of course our infiltration of El ron Hubbard's fortress.
brilliant vacation!!!
Posted by: red at July 20, 2007 2:24 PMThat reminds me....we never have taken the Psychiatry tour. We need to do that. The Center isn't far from the museum.
"I work for a corporation."
Posted by: Alex at July 20, 2007 2:36 PMI love watching you all plan your mayhem.
Posted by: nightfly at July 20, 2007 3:03 PMThe funny thing is....we plan and plan....and then it all comes out a big, fat surprise.
This time, we need to take along a camera.
Posted by: Alex at July 20, 2007 3:32 PMSheila,
Did you ever get that book I recommended to you about the Sedgwicks? You simply must! What better "beach read" could there be other than effed-up crazy rich people?
I will be here for for anyone who reads and wants to eat delicious pesto from my garden and drink good wine (I am really into this new Italian pinot grigio) at the tikki bar out at the pool. I am just saying... it might be a lengthy commute...
Posted by: just1beth at July 20, 2007 4:37 PMLisa - no!! I MUST get it - thanks for the reminder! The Harry Potter book looms over my horizon right now - I'm buying it tomorrow ... but yes, the crazy rich Sedgwicks are totally fascinating to me.
They're kinda like the Mitfords.
Except without the fascism.
Posted by: red at July 20, 2007 7:56 PMBy the way - I love that everyone is inviting themselves to Beth's house. That is brilliant!
She's got a pool and tiki torches. What could be better??
Posted by: red at July 20, 2007 7:59 PMWe're going to the Harry Potter party at our local Hastings store here about 10:30. We're such dorks. (Wait. Alex says we're leaving earlier than 10:30. I think the free butterbeer is calling him.)
Posted by: Lisa at July 20, 2007 9:02 PMOh, how fun, Lisa!!!!!
