No, no, Ginnifer Goodwin!
On Big Love, you play the sort of immature, voluptuous one. Chloe Sevigny is the prim-looking one who dresses like she's been primarily inspired by Little House on the Prairie seasoned with a dash of schoolmarm. You better get this straight before filming begins for season two or there's going to be some tussling on the set.
Continuing my unintentional thread today of oddly rendered clothes... I adore Ginnifer Goodwin -- great actress, great eye makeup -- but I do wish she'd chosen an outfit that wasn't quite so evocative of a curtain.
It could have been cute, if it were ... different. (See what I mean about the eye-makeup, though? She looks fantastic but subtle. So pretty.) I've grown so impatient with this trend of waistlines that have fringe at the top. What's the advantage here, exactly? It's not slimming, particularly, and I imagine that extra flappy fabric gets pretty annoying when, say, the stem of your martini glass gets caught in it and the sweet boozy contents tip out and either down your front or someone else's. It makes the clothes look either unfinished or, yes, like a curtain. I know the latter shares with this dress the purpose of blocking light and/or sightlines, but that's not good enough for me.
So unless we're going to go whole hog and start making use of those flaps -- can they store your ID? Lip gloss? A flask? -- I vote the designers stop doing it. I don't care if they accidentally cut the fabric too long and their solution is to hike it up and make drapery fringe with the extra. I don't care if it's been a long week and they're tired and they no longer know what's going on except that they picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. I, and my beloved stemmed liquor vessels, just want them to cease and desist.
A book, huh? Is it just stuff you already put on the Web site?
Nope, we wrote the whole thing fresh, just for you.
Awesome. In that case, I want to read it!
