Fashion designers really hate women, don't they?

[averygoodun42]

I was just looking through the short-listed best and worst dressed of the Emmys, and, yeah. Some of those dresses were designed to be unflattering. And I don't understand why these actresses stand for it. So what if it's a big name (though the biggest names had the most flattering... hmm, wonder why that is)? Tell your agent/stylist to tell the designer to fuck off until he (it's almost always a he) comes up with something that makes you look like a million dollars, rather than a cheap accessory.

Bah.

Anyway. I just hate seeing fabrics abused in that manner. And the feminine form.

I'm surprised they keep letting Heidi Klum back on Project Runway given the monstrosities she favors on the red carpet, but hey, she always looks good even if her dresses look like torture devices. Mayim Bialik has blogged extensively about the challenges of finding dresses that are red carpet appropriate and appropriately modest for an Orthodox Jew, and I can't imagine how difficult that must be given the pressure for women on the red carpet to look a certain kind of perfect. At least we saw the occasional woman-shaped woman. Bless Christina Hendricks.

that are so tight from waist to below the knee, basically binding the legs together, and I have to ask myself how the hell those women manage to go to the loo...
