They call Tel Aviv the “White City.” I didn’t find it to be that, exactly….But I’ll tell you what – after seeing Tel Aviv, and this here story I’m about to unfold took place back in the late ’00s – just about the time of the Middle East uprisings and capturing and killing Bin Laden. I only mention it because sometimes there’s a woman… I won’t say a hero, ’cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a woman. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude-ette here. Sometimes, there’s a woman, well, she’s the woman for her time and place. She fits right in there. And that’s the Dude-ette, in Tel Aviv. And even if she’s a lazy woman – and the Dude-ette was most certainly that. But sometimes there’s a woman, sometimes, there’s a woman. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But… aw, hell. I’ve done introduced her enough….

Featured below is the dude-ette. She dresses in Gorillott lounge-wear, which is fit for the dude-ette lifestyle. Liza Benshtain’s feminine accessories contrast the ensembles, because we are ladies after all!

Maude Lebowski: What do you do for recreation?
The Dude-ette: Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

The Dude-ette: That rug really tied the room together.

The Dude-ette: – had a rough night, and I hate the fucking Eagles, man

The Dude-ette: At least I’m housebroken.

The Dude-ette: Hey, careful, man, there’s a beverage here!

Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We’re all, we’re all very fond of her. Very free-spirited.

Walter Sobchak: Fuck it, Dude, let’s go bowling.

The Dude-ette: Also, my rug was stolen.
Younger Cop: The rug was in the car?
The Dude-ette: No. It was here.
Younger Cop: [eager] Oh, separate incidents.

The Stranger: I like your style, Dude.
The Dudette: Well, I dig your style too, man.

The Dude: By the way, do you think that you could give me that $10,500 in cash? My concern is, and I have to, uh, check with my accountant, that this might bump me into a higher, uh, tax…

The Dude-ette: Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

The Dude-ette: Lotta strands in old Duder’s head. Fortunately, I’m adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.

Mizi: Were you listening to The Dude-ette’s story?
“The other Dude”: I was bowling.
Mizi: So you have no frame of reference here, Dude. You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know…
