You may recall I attended a screening of Desperately Seeking Susan in NYC at which director Susan Seidelman spoke. No fair—the L.A. version featured a very interesting old bag (not Rosanna Arquette, though she was there, too, looking like anything but)...the original case from the movie, owned by Seidelman.

UPDATE: Thomas Mora, a lucky bitch who attended, reports:

"There was no Q&A. The director Susan Seidelman, The producers, the writers, and actor Robert Joy (Jimmy), & Rosanna Arquette spoke a few words before the screening about the casting for Susan's (Madonna's) boyfriend, the budget for Orion pictures, Madonna promoting her song 'Into the Groove' by having it included in the film. At the end of the screening I just snapped a few pix of the handbag/suitcase which was used in the film & then I asked the director what happened to the wardrobe from the film, to which she [one of the producers] replied, 'Rosanna has her jacket, and someone else has the other.'"

Thanks, Thomas!

FURTHER UPDATE: Boy Culture reader Bob Henson also attended, but points out it wasn't Seidelman but producers Sarah Pillsbury and Midge Sanford who were in attendance:

Bob with one of the best pic-withs ever—love Arquette's sidelong glance!

Best tidbit of all, Bob says fans asked Stephen Bray—who was there—if there really is a song called "Desperately Seeking Susan" and he said yes...and he hopes it's released to the world someday!

Stephen Bray was in attendance as well
