When I was standing in the middle of the NY Halloween parade my eye was drawn to the color on these women. I didn't immediately get the reference. My six year old granddaughter, Ellie, was sitting next to me when I was starting to flip through the photos. "Marge Simpson!" she exclaimed. "Patty and Selma!"
Except that patty and Selma usually have the same dull purple hair. And they always have cigarettes, not smart phones, in their hands. But okay, so I was just stood up on a cultural reference by a small child. Won't be the last time.
The surname of the never-married sisters and Marge's maiden name is Bouvier. Some may remember that it was Jacqueline Kennedy's maiden name. Deep.

More glamorous than Patty and Selma!
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to admit that I know this, but Selma actually marries Troy McClure in a great episode, A FISH CALLED SELMA. Sadly, it is a short lived union...
ReplyDeleteFun and funny photo! Those wigs!
