Jun. 7th, 2009 05:14 pmI'm watching Highland Heartbeat on PBS (semi-against my will, but that's not really important since I like gaelic accents) and instead of being struck by the music for good or ill, I'm stuck on how crappily dressed most of the women are! Someone had on some frilly coat thing that made her look like she was naked underneath while the other women had full-skirted affairs. Then later the same faux-naked woman had on what would be a lovely purple dress on someone shorter, younger or going to a prom/cocktail party, while everyone else was fairly classily dressed. I didn't like what everyone else was wearing, per se, but at least they all "agreed" and were appropriate for the function.
And now this person, the person wearing the one dress I'd previously liked, I think, is "introduced" in profile before she starts singing just so we can see that she needs shapewear under an otherwise lovely white strapless dress. Seriously if she couldn't or wouldn't wear the shapewear for whatever reason, the only thing they had to do was not put her in profile!!! That's it! But no. No they have her start and finish in profile. For example, same tummy-having woman is now in a corset-style top and doesn't look like she's got a second stomach at all. What woman wants to look like she has a second stomach or be asked if she's preggers when she's not? And I don't want to meet this mysterious woman, whoever she is.
Am I being catty? I swear I didn't have meow-mix in my supper. I've been without Project Runway too long, clearly.
