A Certain Kind of Wardrobe

Written for the Old Hollywood Glam Contest

Wardrobes and disguises - we all take them on to hide from the world around us. It takes a special kind of person to let them go.

It is 1954 and Lizanne Kelly visits her older sister, Grace Kelly, on the set of her newest Hollywood movie, "The Country Girl."

While Grace is Hollywood's leading lady and is rumoured to have had affairs with both of her co-stars, Bing Crosby and William Holden, none of it seems to touch her. She hides beneath a façade and it seems that only through the lives of her characters can she express her true feelings. Grace herself admits that her "life dictates a certain kind of wardrobe."

While the story ends here, Grace Kelly does set aside Hollywood to marry a prince. Freedom from disguise? Or just another kind of wardrobe?
