Fun comments, lovely costumes.

[@mattnelson8726]

So beautiful you should do a runway show of your costume work

[@daffo595]

really stands out against the run down designs of the background

[@martylopez8739]

Not a word about Phyllis' horrid grey dress.

And Sally's deadly dull frock. Sally of all people would wear something pretty glam to a showgirl reunion. "I should have worn green. I wore green the last time." Er....you are wearing green, Sally. Hmmmm!

[@martylopez8739]

Yeah. And Phyllis' Loveland costume was black. Black! Poor Janie Dee. She did not deserve this double whammy. (Josephine Barstow came off best. Looked great in a costume so appropriate for Heidi. And what a great Heidi, really sympathetic.)

Marty López I think that might’ve been intentional....they are trying to live in the past and are too caught up in it to really pay attention to what they should look like and how they are shadows of their former selves.......
