Good news, Little Edie fans! Grey Gardens is available for rent this Labor Day weekend.
Its new owners have cleaned up a bit and rental for the weekend will set you back $30,000. But there is one ironic house rule: No Pets.

Wow...never heard of this gem before. Sounds like one of my family reunions, only with more joy and happiness ;-)
Hell, I'll burn the damned place for half of that amount and any pets that tag along for the weekend fun.
That was an engrossing and sadly hilarious movie. And if I'm remembering correctly, they'd better have cleaned up more than "a bit."
Holy Crap. Starcasm will be there.
How do I rent that? Will they take a credit card? If I dress NutJob up as a human, no one will know I have a pet.
@Herman: The Maysles, who filmed the documentary about Grey Gardens, put flea collars around their ankles before entering the house.
@Don: At the risk of sounding too literal, a stipulation made when the house was sold was that it could not be razed by its new owners. But as a firebug, I guess you could do what you like.
@Jd: The documentary made me itch all over for hours, even after showering. The movie with Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore fleshed out their earlier lives more.
Nothing can compare to the original in documenting the filth of that place.
@Starcasm: Maybe we could do a summer share. I can't afford the tariff on my own.
@Deb: I think your poor NutJob would actually go nuts in the house smelling the ghostly pee and poop of all those rats and raccoons.
Animals' noses are so keen that I'm sure the owners don't want them sniffing out the best spots and remarking them.
Imagine being the crew that had to clean that up--blech!
