tutu14 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Anyone see the tutu and leg ribbons ensemble?:rolleyes: Didn't catch the person's name...... I was laughing too hard. Leslie Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Well, it wasn't Robin Williams, although I bet he'd wear something like that. Link to comment
Guest dance4life87 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I saw it...it was some girl with dark brown hair trying to be a ballerina Link to comment
tutu14 Posted January 20, 2003 Author Share Posted January 20, 2003 The radio this morning was talking about it......it was Lara Flynn Boyle. Leslie Link to comment
SABgurlie24 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 and, may i ask, what did the radio say? did they laugh at her costume, or think she was an amazingly real looking ballerina? Link to comment
Calliope Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Jack Nicholson said that "she's either a prima ballerina or a prima donna" It was a nice publicity stunt, as bad as the outfit was, she got people talking about her. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 There's a photo at http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/s...47p-49733c.html Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Worse, it was such a cheap-looking schmatte, like something out of a recital catalogue. This is really an old publicity trick, "love me or hate me, but spell my name right." The best revenge would be to say nothing, in a nearly Oriental way, conveying that, "you've lost sufficient face on your own, I won't add to it by noticing." Link to comment
tutu14 Posted January 20, 2003 Author Share Posted January 20, 2003 SABgurlie24, The people on the radio:D said that they doubted that anyone would be running out to get their designers to do a knock-off of that outfit. Leslie Link to comment
Giannina Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Isn't she Jack Nicholson's girlfriend? Link to comment
sylvia Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I don't think it's outrageous enough to warrant attention - it's a poor imitation of Sarah Jessica Parker in the opening credits of Sex and the City and Sarah looked much better in it too! Bjork's swan dress at the Oscars is still a vivid memory. I don't think anyone could ever top that. Link to comment
Hans Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Maybe Leigh could knit her a pair of baggy legwarmers so we could be spared the sight of those unfortunate legs. Bloch model, she ain't. Link to comment
dirac Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Now, now. We should be encouraging Lara. Sorry I missed it. She is carrying on the great tradition of Cher and Geena Davis, which involves the wearing of flamboyantly tasteless gowns to the Oscars and the GGs. Nowadays we hardly ever see such things, although as noted Bjork made an important contribution to the canon at the last Oscars. Yes, we see bad, we see tasteless, but not on the truly spectacular heights that used to be reached regularly. I think the bad press on such matters is worse than it used to be, and the actresses are leery. It's too bad. Old Fashioned, I agree with you on the Nicholson thing. It's too gross for words. This year, I'm also looking forward to the Botox Effect, displayed most strikingly by Halle Berry last year when she had her nervous breakdown en route to the podium. Every part of her face collapsed save for her forehead, which was oddly impervious to her emotional turbulence. Link to comment
Calliope Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Rumor going around is that Nicholson asked her to wear the outfit. All silly Hollywood speculation. As for the attention factor, hey Ms. Boyle is being talked about on a ballet chat board! Most of the fashionistas agreed, she didn't out Bjork, Bjork, but it was close. Link to comment
Guest Peregrin Took Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Well, I guess it would be better than the small rags you see celebrities wearing nowadays. Perhaps she's getting in touch with her 'inner child'. I have no objection. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 As long as the "inner child" isn't covering the outer adult, I have no objections, either.;) Link to comment
