Fug Or Fab: Melissa George

wearing white

I have been holding on to this picture for a couple of days, because I seriously have no idea what to say about it:

It's kind of sexy. But it's also so severe. But it's kind of Sharon-Stone-in-Basic-Instinct. Which is good. But that makes me worry that she might stab me. Or flash me. Or both. In short, I'm scared, I'm confused, and I don't know what to think. Please help.

Oscar Fug Carpet: Melissa George

wearing white

I'm sure Melissa George is thrilled and relieved now that she's away from the rat's nest of gossip and dead-fiance-macking nonsense that is Grey's Anatomy.

But I question the wisdom of picking a dress that expressed the "floating on cloud nine" concept quite so literally.

Fug's Anatomy

Interesting.

It's like she's giving herself to somebody as a wedding gift, but did a horribly sloppy wrapping job. I think she should've just stayed on-registry and gone with the chafing dish.

dialogue

SHARON STONE: MELISSA GEORGE!

MELISSA GEORGE: Sharon Stone?

SHARON: Who else would I be?

MELISSA: Uh. No one. Just you! You're clearly yourself! That's a well-cut suit! I have to go now!

SHARON: Tell me who you thought I was, Little Miss Heidi Braids, before I decide to wear you as a hat.

MELISSA: That might be an improv -- I mean, never mind! What do you think of my dress?

SHARON: It's fine. I had a crayon that color once. Name names, kitten.

MELISSA: It's your hair, Sharon. There's something about it that...reminds me of Cojo. I'M SORRY. But he's LOVELY.

SHARON: Oh, is that all? That's totally what I was going for. TIME FOR THE BAR!

MELISSA: Always.

Fug's Anatomy

Fug file:

I feel like I ought to feel sorry for Melissa George. While I loved her on that short-lived show she did with John Stamos where they were both cat burglars or something, she otherwise has a tendency to take roles that are destined to be loathed and detested by the fan base of whatever show she's joining. Okay, maybe that's only happened once so far -- with Alias -- but the hate was LEGENDARY and I think it could very well happen again, now that she's joining Grey's Anatomy, although I feel like people are less on fire for Grey's than they used to be. I am. I blame Heigl. Anyway: Melissa George has been wildly derided on the internets for many things -- mostly because she played the girl who stole Vaughn away from Sydney (even though Sydney was dead), and I agree that role was a mistake all around. And, now, she's going to get it for this:

It DOES look cozy. But maybe she should have tried to be cozy in something that didn't make her look like she was wearing a clothing equivalent of a lumpy bowl of oatmeal.

I'm Scared,
red

I suppose one can argue that Melissa George's getup here is at least very striking.

Unfortunately, it's also very severe. And so very, very red. I love red, don't get me wrong, but when you have to hire a bodyguard to keep the Heinz Ketchup people from covertly slapping a label on your back, you might have gone too far with it. Although if Cirque de Soleil ever wants to rustle up a Valentine's Day-themed show along with the other approximately 4,327 performances they currently have going in Vegas, Melissa here would be an ideal featured performer. Assuming she isn't afraid to fold herself in half or hang from her ankle off one of Cupid's arrows.

Fug or Fab: Melissa George

So, it's Melbourne Cup time again, and here at GFY HQ, we LOVE Melbourne Cup time. For one thing, the outfits and hats associated with the event are almost always awesome, terrible, or awesome AND terrible. For another, we always hear from a higher percentage of our Australian readers than usual during the Time o' the Cup, and generally those emails include entertaining and salacious tidbits about whichever Australian star we've featured, along the lines of, "until 2004, she was a man," or "and then his character on Home and Away fell down a well!" This time, however, said Australian is well known to us all as the girl who was surprisingly entertaining on the surprisingly entertaining but ill-fated Thieves with John Stamos, and who was surprisingly terrible on a surprisingly uneven season of Alias, and who is not making, shall we say, her first appearance on this website. Ladies and gents, Melissa George:

I truly am torn. On one hand, she appears to be in costume as an ostrich. On the other hand, you have to give it up for someone who commits so fully to the Fancy Horse Race Get-Up concept, and god knows I love a hat that looks like it could also be a cake. No, I really do.

One of my personal fashion rules of thumb is that menswear on women can be totally sexy. This is, of course, hardly revolutionary. Vogue reminds us of it every time they decide to stick someone in pants. After all, once upon a time, jeans were menswear, and everyone knows how sexy jeans are. A well-cut pair of trousers = sexy. And obviously, we all remember what raging loinfires were ignited by Brenda Walsh's neckties. However, another rule of thumb seems to be, to me, that too much of anything is often just too much. Exhibit A: Melissa George:

So close! Maybe if it were properly tailored....or a color that didn't kind of make her look like an undertaker (albeit a sexy undertaker)...or there wasn't a preternaturally SHINY Vegasean tie involved.

Or, you know, maybe not.

Congratulations to Melissa George on her new show, Touched By A Goth:

I get that she was going for deep and dramatic lip color, but it came out looking like she ate a six-pack of black-cherry popsicles in the limo and washed it down with a bottle of red wine and some frothy O-negative. And while that doesn't sound like such a bad life -- except for the blood part; if there's anything that Moonlight has taught me, it's that Jason Dohring looks really out of place in a business suit with suspenders... oh, and also, being a vampire is awkward -- it's not exactly an ideal style choice. Although I'll grant her that my inability to notice anything but her aggressive mouth distracts me from the cranky face she's pulling. Perhaps she only just got through reading the message boards about her season of Alias.

So, I was reading Entertainment Weekly this weekend, as you do, and they had an interview with Katherine Heigl in which she discussed all the parts she almost got before she landed her role on Grey's Anatomy. And one of them was as "Michael Vartan's evil wife on Alias." (I always like to hear about what parts actors were considered for, and who eventually got the role, and how it would have worked out the other way. I just think it's interesting. Is there a book about that? I'm sure there is. But if not, one of you should write one. Thanks!) And Heigl herself said that if she'd gotten the role of Evil Crazy Lauren Vaughn, she never would have been able to do Grey's blah blah blah everything works out for the best. With which I must agree. Because, if you believe in that whole The Flap Of One Butterfly's Wings In Zanzibar Affects The Amount Of Lampshades On Sale At Target in Culver City idea, then had Katherine Heigl gotten that part on Alias, maybe she would have been the one wearing these seriously heinous (and surely very pricey) shoes with a wrinkly, puffy-sleeved pillowcase, rather than poor afflicted Melissa George:

She really did dodge a bullet there.
