Bold move, Ricci:

Bold, and UNWISE. What IS this? Because it can not be what it appears to be: that you stuck your arms haphazardly through Captain Hook’s pirate hat, then shoved it down until it covered most of your nipples; then paired it with some lingerie sewn to a skirt made from the sheddings of your dog. IT CAN NOT ACTUALLY BE THAT. Right?
On the one hand, this is awesomely dramatic.
On the other, Christina looks like a super-villainess called The Black Widow. Although awesomeness and villainy are not mutually exclusive, as any sensible Miss Hannigan sympathizer can tell you. The cape is inane, sure, but something about this photo — I believe it’s the expression on her face, as if to say, “Yes, that’s right, my spine is leaking fabric; it’s $10 a yard, if you’re shopping” — inspired me to put it to a vote rather than file it away in my mental folder labeled, “Capes: Cracked-out.”
This dress on Christina Ricci is a prime example of something that, for whatever reason, triggered a weird mental association for me and now I can’t judge it on its own merits.
First, I thought the sparkly strip looked like the silhouette of a bejewelled bra being flung through the air. Then it evoked the stripe of glitter that appears somewhere different on Mariah Carey’s body in every scene of Glitter (because that movie is a bastion of subtlety). And now all I can think of is That F’ing Movie, with horrible Max Beesley playing her love interest and the terrible acting and boring, boring story that’s not even FUN-bad but rather merely BAD-bad, except for that one hilarious scene where the video director says, “Is she black? Is she white? I don’t know. I need to see more of her breasts.” Which I guess brings me back to the bra imagery. Thank you, Glitter, for bringing me full circle at least, even if I can’t get back those two hours of my life.
None of which helps me evaluate this.
@clsmale @museteach Yes, same here. But when I get stuck I go back and play old levels until I get 3 stars. -H

Christina looks so great from the neck up that I hate to be a persnickety cow here.
But when your dress looks like a combination of a Photoshop experiment and and the X Marks The Spot portion of a treasure map, it’s a good rule of thumb to take it off and run the other direction. Unless there really is gold coin buried in your chest. Although frankly, I’d run away in that case, too. To Tahiti.
