Libby Mae Brown

Film: Waiting for Guffman Setting: Mid to late 90s, Missouri Room: Bathroom

Story we told: Libby is an eternally optimistic young woman living with her single mother. Maybe she has her own bathroom in their dilapidated 3 bedroom, 2 bath home but Libby does her best to keep her cherished pink bathroom bright and clean.  Most of what Libby has now she bought with her Dairy Queen money but there are still signs of her childhood lingering.

Libby likes the subtle, affordable scent of the Designer Imposter sprays however she keeps a bottle of Exclamation in her purse at all times. Vaseline is a nightly ritual she confessed to Sheila

We imagined Libby was always kind of waiting for Skeet to come by the drive through for a peanut buster parfait.

The seashells were collected on the only trip her family took togeher to the beach before her parents split and her dad ended up in jail.

Every legit mid 90s home had potpourri in the bathroom.

Libby’s vices: gum and cigarettes.

We read a little deep into Libby’s audition song choice of Teacher’s Pet, a song by Doris Day. In the 1952 film Teacher’s Pet, Day’s love interest is Clark Gable. Much older than Day at the time of filming Gable may represent a father figure/crush for Libby.  Jean Harlow, born in Missouri, could also have been an inspiration for the aspiring actress.

Mulberry was the official scent of the 90s.

These are Libby’s “going out” shoes. She wears them with jeans to the pool hall.
