As a life-long fan of pearl snap shirts, the Sparkle & Twang exhibit at the Autry Museum at Griffith Park is right up my alley! Designed by Nudie Cohn of Nudie's Rodeo Tailor in North Hollywood, these are the suits that Porter Wagoner and Hank Williams wore with all the flair. Elvis' gold lame suit was a Nudie, too! Other suits are on display, as well as guitars, boots, albums and related artifacts, but the Nudie suits are the best.
My Dad would've loved to be buried in a Nudie suit, as my brother told the preacher at the memorial service. I don't think the preacher got the reference, and probably still thinks my Dad wanted to be au naturale in the everafter.
So, for whatever spin you put on it, don't miss the Nudie suits!
