white the new black, crazy the new sexy
Ginia Bellafante writes in reference to "Something's Got to Give" that not since "Saturday Night Fever" can she "recall when the color white has played a more aggressive role in a movie's costuming". Well two-twenty remembers. Ah, yes. The year was 1987, the movie, "Fatal Attraction". Crazy Glenn? Dressed in black. Really crazy Glenn? Dressed in white. Oh, what about "Basic Instinct"? Sharon wears white white white. And she's crazy, too. So what have we learned here? Not only is white, as Bellafante pus it, "not the color of free spirits who wake up to days unplanned": it's the color of crazy.
Hypothesis: maybe the reason white didn't take off last year when it was deemed 2002's new black is because Amy Sohn had yet to inadvertently suggest that New York women had a better shot of getting laid if they were loons.
