nudie suits
little jimmy dicken's bird suit
you just cleared up a huge mystery for me! i was recently introduced to gram parsons via the tribute cd return of the grievous angel, and the nudie suit is referenced in the liner notes. i thought it was a suit that made the performer look naked. then i noticed the embroidered nude women on gram parsons lapels and thought ah ha. but no, nudie is the designer. very cool.
enjoy the cd too, he's a big fave around here (note the weed leaves too on gp's suit)
Yeah, the name confused me, too. I first saw it in a Robert Smithson essay where he cited the Nudie dictum you don't have to have cows to be a cowboy, and then paraphrased it as you don't have to exist to have existence.
get em all
a friend of ours got married in a nudie suit...he looked amazing...they had a bluegrass band and mint juleps for a kind of virginia/tennessee/kentucky mishmash effect
those mint juleps must be drunk from sterling silver julep cups. (never drink anything from pewter, the lead tastes like hell).
