'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
More accurately, Blanchett wore an afghan of granny squares. But yes. I could almost see it as a statement on women's work and artisanship, but I'm probably thinking too hard. Y'all are probably right on Gaga. I like J-lo's dress. It's a beautiful color, draped wonderfully, and introduced the world to dress tape.
I really loathe Gaga's music and her aesthetic. I'm much more tolerant of Rihanna, though I haven't parsed exactly why.
SWINTON rules. That is all.
Cate Blanchett can do whatever she wants. Period.
I think that J-Lo dress is gorgeous. Especially compared to some of the rest of them.
It was on someone's "best of the decade" list. I really don't like it, but compared to the others it's gorgeous.
Also, I don't see how Kate Hudson's compares to the others at all.
Cate Blanchett can do whatever she wants. Period.
Concur. She is Beyond Reproach. Also in this class, Emma Thompson. Maybe Kate Winslet.
Any others?
Judi Dench? Helen Mirren?
Swinton!
Judi Dench, Aretha
Dame Edna.
Helen definitely. Judi probably.
I'm thinking of an old article (maybe back in the 90s?) about "untouchables." Not in the India caste system sense, but public figures whose reputations are so strong and secure that if you criticize them it actually makes you look bad.
Swinton's too controversial! That's what makes her Swinton. She'll give Clooney shit while she's accepting her Oscar. I think that makes her infinitely cooler, but not beyond reproach.
