I Always Do My Collars First: A Film About Ironing

Conni Castille, Director

2007 Color

Shot in Breaux Bridge, this documentary film follows four women, Rookie LeBlanc, Gay Castille, Aunt Be Guidry and Georgie Blanchard, as they talk about why they iron. And they iron everything: shirts, pants, underwear, sheets, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, even dish towels. These women take note of whose husband and children were allowed to go to church in wrinkled clothes. Quietly competitive, the women's stories are often humorous digs at their neighbors as well as fond remembrances of family occasions.
