What's With the Weird Clothes and Hairdos?


Did you notice how excessive and extravagant are the clothes and hairdos of the Mafia wives? Even their mourning outfits at the funeral of Frank De Marco are tacky and in abominable taste.

I think it was more than just the 80s, it was the stereotype of how mafia wives from New York dressed and wore their hair. That's why it's over the top. And it totally works for this film.

I miss my big earrings, overdone hair, and colorful outfits. Well, I STILL do the colorful outfits and big earrings. :-)
