I want this dress

In everflame's words, Holy Schnikey.










I have to say I'm also a fan of her haircut. Cute. Maybe something to look forward to trying while this mess on my head grows out.


And if red dresses aren't your style, perhaps this is. Also especially for rougewench:

Want. Dress. Now.

God, the color of that fabric!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Amazing, isn't it? Why don't more people wear color to awards ceremonies? What's with all the black and white? I don't get it. Designers are stupid.

[rougewench.livejournal.com]

Uh...ah-woof!

On both counts.

I was lusting after that as well. Mmmm, red dress...

[next-bold-move.livejournal.com]

I think that she is so tall also helps with the cut of the dress. Some people would look like a sausage in a red casing in that number.

When I win my Golden Globe/Oscar/Nobel Prize, I'm definitely wearing color.

Rage against the dying of the light!

No ascots. No straight ties.

It's a gala and an evening event. He could've been bothered to wear a bow tie. Because, you know... it's a gala. It's an evening event. There are rules for these things.

Geena, on the other hand... oof. Wow. All that need be said.

This *is* the man who won an Oscar, and the next thing he did was to make a DIET COKE commercial. One in which they actually used his name!

Re: Rage against the dying of the light!

Sad, but true. And, yet, I forgive him for almost everything...

Except the ascot. No mercy for the ascot.

Re: Rage against the dying of the light!

[rougewench.livejournal.com]

Interestingly, the man seems to have been wearing ascots in every outfit he's been photographed in for most of the press for King Kong.

Maybe he's wearing them to minimize his adam's apple...or perhaps to evoke some strange period feel...

I'm willing to forgive a lot for that vest. And, um, the nose.

Re: Rage against the dying of the light!

[sdemory.livejournal.com]

The vest is nice, the tux is sharp and young Mr. Brody's a good looking fellow. I don't forgive breaking the most basic of eveningwear rules, though. "Something around the neck" doesn't equate formal wear. It's not daytime, he's not going yachting nor is he going to play polo. He shouldn't be wearing an ascot.

This is why it's good that I'm not going to breed. If I had a son who went to a formal dance and didn't wear a bow tie with his tux, I'd kick him in the face. Likewise, I'd have to do a spot execution of any fellow who'd take my daughter out and assume that "a tie" equates formality:

"Oh, I'm sorry, son. Isobel's not available. She doesn't date fellows with broken necks. (CRACK!)"

Grr, grr, grr. My fashion conservatism comes out when men's eveningwear's involved.

fashions change. Formal fashions change.


And what, do you think, causes the change? Why, people that refuse to follow the "rules".

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

grrrrowl! What a mental image... you in that dress.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Were I to make it for myself, I'd leave off the train (or make it a standard fishtail style) but otherwise, yeah. It's really...perfect.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

And much as I love her, I think you'd look better in that dress then she does.

Poor thing, I mean, it is luscious and she carries it off almost but the one image that blows it is the one with her hand over her belly. It screams "I know my belly pooches, and I hate it!"

Or does it just say that to me?

Now I'd wear that in a bright cobalt blue and hell, yeah keep the train and the flounces!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Isn't that sad? I noticed that posture on a lot of the women on the red carpet for the Globes. And you know, that's one of the sexiest things (IMO) about a tight dress is that tiny pooch of tum. Now a bulging, giggly mass of bloop in spandex (like one sees at Wal-Mart on Sunday afternoons *cough*) is perhaps not so pleasant. But the smooth little roundness allowed by a lightweight piece of foundationwear? So sexy.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! But then, hon, 'our kind' of folk prefer real women with shapes to the desicated, over-dieted sticks that are the going standard of Hollywood beauty right now.

It's one thing I always agreed with Pete when he said, "I'd

wow.
)I think I just flooded my brain.(

You would look amazing in that dress.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

We need more formal events in this 'burg.

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

I have my double breasted suit with lots of black silk accoutrements to match.

And no reason to wear it.

I would work the living hell out of that dress...where is it!

She has a good dresser/stylist=she usually has killer outfits at these things, and this is no exception.

I do think she should have worn some (perhaps A) better foundation garment though. she's far from fat, but without a proper foundation in this dress=she's got tummy and no boobs and looks flat.


And Adrian Brody is aways cute....sigh...

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I agree with the foundation wear issue. Personally, I like the little tummy pooch, but a lightweight girdle would've smoothed the wrinkles in the fabric.

Of course, you and I are probably the only ones reading this who've worn girdles with some regularity. LOL!!!!

[tattooedartgirl.livejournal.com]

A little tummy is fine-I agree, I like it too. I'm with you on it would have smoothed out the fabric and lifted her boobs. She's beautiful, but that dress needed just a SMIDGE more.

Of course the dress is so fab, most people are noticing the little things like a girdle LOL

[acommonreader.livejournal.com]

Would you dare attempt making your own, since you have so many lovely and differently angled shots at your disposal?

(Dare I say it, that you would look much, much better (stunning) in this dress?!)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I have a couple patterns very similar to this. I could certainly do it, but what would I do with it then? I think even I would hesitate to wear that to the department xmas party...

[tattooedartgirl.livejournal.com]

ya, you need some glam event to wear it.
We need more glam events!

I long for the days of glamourous dinner & dancing outings of the 40's/50's...sigh....

[motherpockets.livejournal.com]

I will add my voice to those above to say you would look so incredible in that dress! Yes, much better than she does!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Awww. Thank you!

[socialdragnfly.livejournal.com]

I loved that dress when I saw it :) no nice!
