[UPDATED] Scarlett O’Hara… — 15 Comments

  1. I actually like it.

    I don’t see tie-die, I see drops of ink slowly falling into clear liquid.

    But the Best of Show was definitely Angelina Jolie.

    The Go Fug Yourself crew calls it “full Movie Star I Could Kill You With A Bat Of My Eyelashes glam.”

  2. dicentra: well, perhaps Scarlett spilled some ink on her sheets. In those days they used ink in their pens, didn’t they?

  3. Wow! Was that a show last night or what?

    Miss Scarlet would have fit right in, what with all those starlets showing up in dresses constructed from post modern curtains. And I’m sure she would have approved of all the awards that were handed out to the Help too.

  4. I like the cut and fit … but I just don’t know about the material – it does look too much like tye-dyed sheets to me, too. Maybe in a dark color with a jeweled or metallic net overlay on the bodice and upper skirt layer.

  5. Kurt: I’ve always loved that bit. Saw the original when it first aired. I think I’ll add a YouTube clip of it to the post.

  6. That’s my all-time favorite Carol Burnett sketch!

    Makes me wish I could find that show in reruns.

    Hilarious, good clean fun! (Something that’s in very short supply these days).

  7. Dress? what dress? What a pretty girl… I wouldn’t know her if you told me her name, but I know what I like to look at.

  8. And I have to disagree with dicentra about Angelina. The huge elbow joints accentuated by scrawny arm muscles remind me of pictures of concentration camp survivors. Anorexia has no appeal to me.

  9. It’s Sarah Michelle Geller (Buffy the Vampire). Her little daughter picked out the dress. I laughed at your description of it, and at the same time I think it’s fine.

    I loved the Carol Burnett routine when I saw it a long time ago. It still sticks in the mind. Sid Caesar, Steve Allen, Bob Newhart, Red Skelton, Imogene Coca, Carol Burnett, Jackie Gleason, and all the people who were standard on their shows, were brilliant at being hilarious without overt ugliness. I still laugh at remembered skits.

    Thanks for a cheerful respite from the serious business of living in this ever-maddening world.
