A 1920s socialite with a cold swanning about her grand house in a sheer kaftan nightie, sneezing openly and blowing her nose into the oversized sleeves, savoring the feeling of expensive fabric against her chapped nose, and not bothering to change afterwards. She’s simply too sick to be embarrassed about it.
Inspired by Lilian Gish’s Henri Bendel-designed negligée in 1920’s Way Down East.
Also- Way Down East has a famous whump scene. Lilian Gish’s character Anna has been boarding at the home of David Bartlett and falling for him. Then, David’s father finds out about Anna’s shadowy past- she was tricked into a sham marriage and consequently throws her out of the house during a blizzard without her coat.
She gets lost in the storm and David goes after her with a search party. He finds her unconscious on an ice floe and heroically jumps across ice- falling into the river several times- to save her just before the ice she was on tumbles over a waterfall.
He bundles her up and brings her back to his home where he sits all night at her bedside until her eyes flutter open.
And then they get married so they can finally act on all that sexy eye contact.
