"Mrs. T. Charlton Henry weighs a fragile, feminine ninety pounds, but moves through life like a Trojan.Photography by Diane Arbus (14th March 1923 – 26th July 1971)
On the third floor of her house, there are three rooms full of clothes racks, in which each ensemble hangs in its own wrapper, together with gloves, shoes and handbag, This enviable passion for organization structures her life - and inspires her friends."
Inspired her friends to just what, exactly? Now that's a question lost to history. I'm guessing fits of giggles and the occasional sotto voce catty remark, much as they loved the Old Dear.
