Hee hee.

I will note that the "timelessness" in Twin Peaks reminds me of the
set and background characters from _Batman_.  (No flames, please.)  
Anton "Dune" Furst's work on _Batman_ was incredible -- the cars and
clothing styles were very 1940's.  However, everything else in the
film pointed to modernism, leaving you with a world where fashion never
made it past the early 50's.

Food for thought.  belch.
