      That's probably why since she was taking stuff that she didn't already have. If she's a big fan of Lynch then it stands to reason that she probably already owns his stuff. Especially if she used to shop at Kim's back when it was still on St. Mark's Place.

      These videos are condensed heavily. I have noticed in several closet videos that the person choosing will have 2-3 films in their hand that they didn't talk about.
