Paulie Go Bye-bye! The Winning Kill.
Herewith, the winning post from Cristina and Julie, who wowed The Stylephile with their parting image of Paulie's white shoes. Grab some gabbagool and read on: Walnuts Must Dye! We know Paulie is obsessed with his own aging and mortality. That's why he originally declined Tony's offer to "skipper" the big job in the final episode: He said there was a curse and that everyone who moved up died. So Paulie continues to obsess about aging, death, dying ... and that cat at the Bing seems to know something he doesn't. He comes up with the idea of recapturing his younger days: by turning back the clock on his signature skunk patches. That's right, Walnuts is getting a dye job! Or, should we say, die job... At the beauty salon, the hairdresser who’s applying Miss Clairol to Paulie’s pompadour is also gossiping with her clientele of (primarily) old ladies. Distracted, she gets a squirt of "Think Mink" in his eye. Eye stinging, Paulie leaps from his chair ("Maddon!") and stumbles toward the sink. He trips on a purse that's resting at the feet of one of the old ladies. We see Paulie do a "Million Dollar Baby" fall into the row of hairdryers. And the last shot is of an overturned bottle of dye staining his formerly immaculate, painstakingly polished white slip-on shoes.
