In the show I am working on, the designer is trying to dress someone a la Christina Hendricks in Mad Men, but she is now worried that the actress is too hippy for a pencil skirt and needs an a-line. I am trying to talk her into tailoring the pencil skirt as it will look great, it is just hard to find an off the rack skirt that tailors to a wasit hip differential of over 10 inches!
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I almost really like Vanessa Williams, but the contrast of the jewelled strap and the dress's pattern throws it off. If the strap were a solid colour, then it might even be love, and I'm not a pattern girl.
Julie Benz doesn't look great. Grace Park looks wrong. (I can't vouch for the continued goodness of the Yahoo links)
Aha! Felicity Huffman looks lovely, and I usually hate that nude look.

I kept thinking, "Wait. That's Julie Benz! What happened?" That neckline does nothing for the boobs.
I think the pattern of Vanessa Williams dress is really striking. She wisely avoided a necklace with the strap of jewels.
LOVE Felicity Huffman's hair and dress. I'm with you on the nude look -- usually not a color I think is flattering on many.

For example, nude look done wrong: January Jones. And she's generally gorgeous! Also, when the nude look goes monochrome, I'm not into it at all. Like one of or even two of the actresses on House.

Yeah, not loving January. A bit too underwear for me.
I like the balance between Vanessa's strap and the bracelet of similar width on the opposite wrist. I just want to reach in and Photoshop all her sparklies to white or black.

Whoa, I had no idea that the Emmys were on tonight. I'm so out of it these days.
I am way too addicted to TJs gourmet popcorn. Mmmm. I would polish off the bag if I could.

I thought that Lisa Edelstein's hair and makeup looked great, but her dress seemed too young for her.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH made two excellent observations today:
1. When Kurt Warner was being interviewed on PTI about how Matt Leinart was taking getting benched over Warner as QB for the Arizona Cardinals, he said that Leinart was "great about it" WHILE SHAKING HIS HEAD.
2. On 60 Minutes, John McCain was asked if Sarah Palin was ready to be president. He replied, "Absolutely" WHILE SHAKING HIS HEAD.
In both these cases, their body language directly contradicts what they were saying. Interesting.
