Wayward mannequin arm
« on: March 01, 2002, 06:45:37 AM »
Didn't have a chance to see Thursday's eps, but from the montage I'm guessing that one of my fave Joan Bennett scenes aired -- where Naomi chides the mysterious woman whose arm is perched stiffly on Jeremiah's shoulder.  Naomi, unaware of her superhuman strength (sherry does a body good, eh?), yanks the arm right off of the poor woman's shoulder, then holds it and stares at it (still as lovely and in the same pose in Naomi's hands as it was on the other woman's body). The refined, dignified, softspoken Naomi now lets out this primal shriek.

Now I'm NOT trying to be jaded here  ::) but every time I watch this scene, with its less than convincing prop (but with great affection, I might add), I think to myself: "Naomi, you're like, totally losing it over a department store mannequin's arm!  Get a grip ...  well, okay, I see that you did."

I'll concede this is probably classic DS camp, but I LOVE IT!
