parks and rec meme ★ seven outfits [2/7] ‘the ann perkins of dresses’, leslie and ben

The skirt is literally a collage of Leslie Knope’s greatest hits. It might have been tough to see in the flurry of insta-wedding planning in Thursday’s episode, but Mann had sewn together newspaper clippings about Leslie’s Harvest Festival victory and City Council win, her campaign flyers, and even portraits of her role models Madeleine Albright, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama. The origami flower on her waist? Made out of the Pawnee city logo. “It wasn’t just a bunch of newspapers I had lying around,” Mann said. “Every single piece was pulled from a Parks episode — even though no one in a million years will be able to see all the details.“

The red heels and flowers also tell a story: They’re a part of Ben and Leslie’s love motif. “If you look back at their relationship, we’ve always put a little red on Leslie when she and Ben have a romantic scene,” Mann said. “So of course we had to have a big splash of red for their wedding.” [x]

Hi, Leslie. It’s Leslie. Hang in there. Love you, bye.

I need you to text me every 30 seconds saying everything is gonna be okay.

Ooh! Here they are.
