June Task: queer awakening

The Parent Trap - 1998

Hallie Parker was the coolest girl she had ever seen.

There was always a movie that was on heavy rotation in the Midler household. Sleepovers, movie nights, and weekend free time - it was always The Parent Trap. Of course Denise Midler grew up watching the Haley Mills version of The Parent Trap; Georgette was fond of that version too much…but there was just a little girl obsession with Hallie and Annie Parker.

It was 2007; a Friday night in June. Mom and Dad were bustling around their room getting ready for an outing at the club.

Colombia Law golf invitational was rolling out that weekend which meant the Midlers were some of the honored guests. Georgette, 7 stood in the French doors that led to the master bedroom. Denise was in a knee length form fitting floral dress with white and pink accents. Hair quaffed to a the sky Georgette stood in awe as her mom looked in the mirror giving her makeup a once over. Tom returned from the walk in closet giving a fuss about his tie. The two linking up organically as Denise fixed her husbands tie.

On little tip toes Georgette wandered into the master bedroom wirh bright eyes. “Can I come with please please please..”

In unison Tom and Denise shook their heads. “You’ve got Melissa your favorite babysitter coming..now run along pick out a movie and we will get take out delivered.” Denise swooned to little Georgette leading her back to the hallway.

There was no question what movie she was going to pick. This was the second DVD she had gone through. The original had so many scratches it would skip about half way through. The Parent Trap.

Heels clicking along the marble kitchen and take out being ordered Georgette sat on the large living room couch. Fluffy pillows and cushions practically swallowing her up. Only thing to be seen was the blond high pony held up with a bow. Clenched between her hands was the DVD. Her choice had been made now all she needed was the pizza and whatever snacks her like would let her have.

As the doorbell rang Georgette sprang off the couch and ran to the front door. It had to be Melissa. Finally here to babysit! The Parent Trap still clinched in her hands she beat the Midler family wait staff to the door. Flinging it open with such force little Georgette almost slipped on her slippers she grinned up at Melissa with the biggest grin. Blue eyes filled with glitter and excitement pouring from her Georgette grabbed Melissas hand and pulled her into the house. “Melissa’s here!!! Movie time right mother!!”

In a full speed run Georgette was almost dragged to the ground trying to pull the weight of a teenage girl though the living room. “Alright girls you can out the movie on!” Denise chimed in from the kitchen; no doubt sipping on her glass of wine waiting for her husband.

Forcing the DVD into Melissa’s hands for her to pop in the player Georgette hopped her way back to the couch and grabbed a giant fluffy pillow and two blankets. Slamming them onto the floor like a makeshift nest and nustled herself into them getting comfy.

This was probably the 300th time Georgette had seen the movie. The second the opening music play though her eyes were glued to the screen like it was the first time.

Tom walked through the living room dressed in his sport coat, tie, and Cole Zahn wing tips. The scent of Polo wafting through the room. Looking over his shoulder at his little Georgie and the movie he shook his head. Halfway into the kitchen Tom argued. “I thought we were going to give that damn dvd a break Neesie. She practically thinks she is in the movie.” Denise let out a long sign. “She will grow out of it Tom. When I was her age I was obsessed with Mickey Mouse Club until one day I wasn’t anymore!” Toms fist slammed on the counter; not loud enough to gain attention from Georgette or Melissa but enough to prove a point. “Cyrus told me Georgette was telling Blair and Serena she pierced her own ears with apples, tried to play a fake game of poker Denise, and said she has a twin sister in London. This ends tonight.” Denise grabbed her husbands hand and nodded. “We can at least give her one last night with the movie Tom.”

As her parents whisked away to their night in the glittering lights of the club surrounding by the elites of Manhattan Georgette sat with her baby sitter and watch her favorite movie for the last time.

Unfortunately for Tom and Denise their bright little girl heard them. Heard the line being drawn. Learning from her father Georgette did not react in the moment she just enjoyed the dye girl pulling that yellow duffle from the heap of bags at Camp Walden for girls.

Bad to the Bone played. Hallie had her sun glasses on. Isolated cabins and Oreos with peanut butter. Secret handshakes on a dock. London with grandfather. Cuppy. Georgette watched it all. Hallie was the coolest girl. The confidence she had burned inside 7 year old Georgette. All she wanted was to be like Hallie. Experience the world like her.

Georgette couldn’t let her parents take this away from her.

As the movie ended and Hallie sat at the desk in London behind the news paper Georgette started to feel anxious. Tears were filling her eyes. Tossing her plate filled with pizza crust to the side she scurried out of the living room to her play room. Leaving Melissa in her dust.

Pulling an old ball cap of her grandpas and a red bandana from her dress up box Georgette rolled the bandana up and tied it around her neck like Hallie in the movie and pull the baseball cap over her hair; pulling the long blonde piney tail out the hole in the back. Dressed the best she could like her idol Hallie Parker Georgette grabbed her stationary off her desk and gel pens. Calling for Melissa to come help her.

A letter was what she would write.

Dear Dad & Mom,

I know you’re upset with me. I know you don’t like when I play make believe. The Parent Trap is the best movie ever. EVER. I want to be like Hallie when I grow up! I want to go to a summer camp. Sleep away! I want to have a sister! I want to make friends! I want to ride horses with dad! I want to go to London and try on wedding dresses some day.

Melissa helped me look up summer camps for girls. Camp Walden is real! In Maine! I can go when I’m 8! I will stop pretending but please don’t take my movie away…and can I please go to Camp Walden.

I am sorry.

❤️ Georgie

Georgette fell asleep on the plush living room couch that night with her letter next to her. Home Screen for The Parent Trap on replay from the families large flatscreen. Grandpas hat still on her head and Hallie’s red bandana still around her neck like a necklace.

The Midlers never did take The Parent Trap away from Georgette; but Denise would also not allow her precious Georgette attend a sleep away camp for 7 weeks.

Hallie Parker and The Parent Trap are still idols and a favorite for Georgette. Still longing for her summer camp experience and real girl life with Hallie confidence.
