From Jessica Caroline’s story on the “Studio 54: Night Magic” exhibition for Filthy Dreams:
[Writing about Merly Meisler’s photograph in the show titled “Man Carries Judi Jupiter (Film Dress by Meryl), Studio 54,” July 1978]: Great photo, but I also want the film dress for my Halloween costume this year because it’s always such a perfect time climate-wise to wear bikini tops and the skimpiest skirt you can find. This also reminds me of a flimsy makeshift costume my sister manifested in crepe paper for me when I was ten years old at a dress-up day in school. I wanted to go as She-Ra and oh my what a disaster that one turned out to be as it fell apart before my very eyes and I had to wear whatever clothes were available from the lost property box for the remainder of the day.
