A little while ago I got a call from the costume designer at Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, asking if there was any chance they could get ahold of a pair of imperfect Astorias, for one of their drag characters. He told me they were doing a spoof on Downton Abbey, and, well, here it is!
You can’t even see the shoes, lol, but we’re pretty sure it’s Edith who’s wearing them!

I really enjoyed the clip! Thanks!

April 19, 2012 at 8:59 PMIt could indeed. Anybody know what size shoes AD Miles wears? Then again, the production bought two pairs, so maybe they are both wearing Astorias!

April 26, 2012 at 2:38 AMWell, colour me geeky, but when they were talking of Kardashian jokes, I was hearing Cardasian, as in Star Trek, and wondered why in the world they would be making alien jokes. I only got it when they mentioned Kim and her Botox.
The spoof was funny though. Wish We could have seen the shoes.
