This is it

I'm sure many of you have seen this poster for Baz Luhrmann's new movie Australia.


I didn't plan to see the film (or even pay much attention to the trailers) until I opened up the November 28 issue of Entertainment Weekly (one of the profs subscribes and brings copies to the office). On page 14 is the front view of that dress in the poster. Friends, I might need to go see the movie just to see that garment in action. I'm considering reproducing it for the department holiday party. I have just under two weeks.

UPDATE: A million thanks to renniemom for finding a front view photo of the dress online.


I shall not be using that particular skirt treatment, nor shall I be consorting with livestock. What the fuck was this particular fashion editor smoking? Seriously.

That issue of EW also has a shot of Justin Timberlake and some of the male SNL crew in leotards, pantyhose, and high heels. But that is so totally not why I'm keeping this copy of the mag. It's on page 8, if you want to check it out for yourself, though.

That dress is indeed a thing of beauty. Since I won't be at your department holiday party - or even on campus, for that matter - I hope you take pictures!

Oh, definitely!
