I was talking to my friend Grant yesterday about this remake of The Women Eva Mendes is in, and how I am really not very interested in it, in part because the casting makes me feel like I just tripped and fell into 1995 (Eva Mendes aside, actually), but also because the sentence, "Eva Mendes takes over the Joan Crawford role" makes my blood run ice cold, and surely makes Joan Crawford's ice cold blood run hot as she attempts to claw out of her grave to go smack Eva Mendes around. The more I think about it, the more I kind of don't get Eva Mendes in general. Nor, I must, confess, do I entirely get this:

Are those staples? Did she just escape from a stint as a celebrity Project Runway model for a challenge involving only items found at Office Max? Or was this once some wildly floaty gown and while she was looking at herself in the mirror at home she realized it was far too vast and did some quick and dirty home-seamstress work? Because maybe she shouldn't quit her day job, in that instance, after all.
