I was going to make this a Fug or Fab post, because I stared at the picture for so long trying to suss out an angle. But then I realized, I don't know what my Fab angle would be:
I mean, what? That it covers her bits? That I like her jewelry? That it's not done Family Truckster-style in an evocative shade of Metallic Pee? That it's not made of balloons and stuffed armadillos? Okay, fine. Those are all notes in the "pro" column. But in the end, I just can't get behind how this dress looks. The semi-tacky see-through part cutting a diagonal swath around her torso only has the effect of making her upper half look even MORE like it's barreling down Emaciation Street. The pound of sheen pasted on her skin doesn't help, because it has a bit of a sickly glow itself. I don't know. I just look at this and feel distinctly underwhelmed, because she is capable of so much better, and hopefully at the Golden Globes this weekend -- since she's a nominee -- we'll see it. Until then, could somebody please make her some waffles?
