Nearly 35 years after Twin Peaks debuted on the ABC Television Network, I continue finding the wonderful and strange show is very much alive in the marketplace. This time, fashion boutique Haley Solar, located in the Eagle Rock neighborhood north of Los Angeles, California, has added limited-time, themed elements to their shop that captures the spirit of…
It’s always a surprise to find Twin Peaks apparel suddenly pop-up in well-known retailers. This time, two women’s apparel items inspired by David Lynch and Mark Frost’s show have arrived at fast fashion retailer H&M. I guess the dream of the 1990s is still alive.
As an archivist for my favorite television show Twin Peaks, I love finding ephemera created when David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece first aired in the early 1990s. Many of these paper items were produced for a specific, immediate purpose and not much thought was given to saving them for future records. This colorful brochure was…
During the first Twin Peaks Fan Festival on August 14-16, 1992, thousands of Twin Peaks fans descended on the towns of Snoqualmie and North Bend, Washington for a weekend filled with cherry pie, celebrity sightings, and the premiere of David Lynch’s newest film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

In addition to postcards, I have a soft spot for greeting cards as there is something therapeutic about sending handwritten letters to loved ones. In November 2017, San Rafael, California-based Insight Editions licensed a set of…
I’ve been collecting Twin Peaks items for years now. One of the more unique trading cards in my collection is from an Italian card set released in 1993. The 210 card collection is part of I Bellissimi Superstar set which includes images of actors, musicians, models and celebrities. Interestingly, James Marshall who played James Hurley in…
My decades-long fascination with David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange Twin Peaks extends beyond the small town. I’ve also been a fan of both Lynch and Frost’s other works, which is why I’m thrilled to share a look at John Thorne’s new book, “Devious Dreams: Reimagining David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.” I remember seeing…
