This is just a crime against these women. They are all lovely but these dresses don't fit, have odd details, or look like they really were made by some Mattel division. Not right!
@Fridge Hussy :Is on Crappy Pop Video Detox Since 26/4/09: When I lived in a Foreign Land for 14 years, where the language wasn't English but I had many English-speaking friends, I picked up many non-American turns of phrase that whenever they popped out on visits home (or now that I've been back in America for 10 years), people just look at me like I'm speaking Martian.
"Bless his cotton socks!" comes to mind. Come on, people, how hard can it be to catch my drift on that one?!
Whoa, I could totally see Kate Ritchie's dress on a villain in Xena. She'd stalk around in a dangerous-yet-sensual way and then she and Xena would almost make out and Gabrielle would cry.
I'm feeling oddly oppressed by all these exterior boob-cups and random, revealing cutouts. Dannii Minogue is beautiful, but that little random side-cut under her ribs is making me uncomfortable just looking at it, I don't love the back cutout on Antonia Kidman, Lee Furlong is making my cleavage all cold with that strategically misplaced keyhole, and I don't even know where to go with Kate Ritchie's witchcraft and wizardry.
I pay extra money for clothes WITHOUT holes, celebrities.
I'm guessing that in Australia, the word "logie" doesn't mean what it means in the part of America where I grew up.
It's not fashionable, and it is projectile-ejected from the back of your throat. Preferably at someone you strongly dislike.
Also: I must confess that if I ever had opportunity to wear what Ocean Carnival Barbie, er, Sonia Kruger is wearing -- I would do it in a heartbeat. How fun would that endless wavy skirt be! But then, I grew up playing with Barbies (when I wasn't hocking logies), so my perspective may be skewed.
I lay a lot of the blame at the feet of local designers, J'Aton - they dressed a heck of a lot of the attendees. Kate Ritchie's dress ain't the half of it.
Tracy Grimshaw's outfit is very Tracy Grimace-shaw. Are Happy Meals giving out fancy plastic "glamour" toys for girls and Hot Wheels for boys? I really hope I get the gigantic faux diamond clip on earrings.
@Snowbunny: @tscheese: I'm siezed by the desire to pry their legs apart and mount them on Breyer horses. Either that or pop their heads off and throw their bodies in the lake to go swimming.
