Oddly, this edition of hetero chatter comes from two middle-aged women. Both in khaki corduroys, floral print blouses and black faded clogs, their body types were similar to that of a lumped squash. However, I do not judge (apparently). Sitting next to each other at the Isabella Rossellini lecture last night, they chatted about losing weight via protein enriched diets. They sniffled, they coughed, they shared stories of lazy husbands and triumphant sons. All perpetuating the stereotype. When the lights dimmed and the movie clip real began, they knew nothing of her work. The only scene they recognized? “30 Rock.”
“What is this ‘Blue Velvet’ movie they keep playing?
“I think it’s a David Lynch film.”
“What else has he done?”
“Oh, ‘The Matrix’ of course!”
