STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I was laughing so hard at this I was crying...

Oh, Anne Hathaway. Generally, I have no beef with you. You have lovely, shiny hair and seem to have no problem sharing the screen with older actresses who rock harder than you do (see Streep, Meryl and Andrews, Julie). You did the best you could in The Devil Wears Prada, even though your part was basically Whiny Entitled Girl Who Doesn't Know How Good She Has It. I also appreciate that, by all accounts, you seem to understand what "adequate" means, and you probably know how to spell it. So I feel a little bad about this:

From the waist up, you look lovely.  But the balloon skirt is problem. You start to look a little....well, a little:

My grandma had a doll that sat on top of her toilet. Her crocheted gown belled out to cover the extra roll of toilet paper that lived up there. As a child, this fascinated me. Why didn't the toilet paper in my house have outfits? Why didn't everything in my house have outfits: the spatulas, the drinking glasses, the cat?  "Because that would be tacky," my mother told me. "But Grandma's toilet paper has an outfit," I protested. "Your grandma is an eccentric and fascinating woman," my mother replied, "but my toilet paper does not need a dress."

Between you and me, I think if my mother could find a black satin cocktail dress in the appropriate shape to cover a roll of Scots -- as seen here -- she might change her mind.
