Sometimes it feel like the Twilight events will NEVER END, like people have been yapping about Twilight for like ALL OF MY ADULT LIFE. On the other hand, I guess it’s better than 50 Shades of Grey, which…don’t even get me started, Fug Nation. Instead, let’s get started on Nikki:
This has a lot of things I like: stripes! Gold! Pattern! If it were a wallpaper, it’d be all over the powder room (I don’t have a powder room). As a dress, I would totally try it on. But would I buy it?

At first glance this is totally inoffensive. But the more I look at it, the more it seems like the gold isn’t letting the pattern…breathe I would be curious to see how it looks with the pattern the whole way down.
Liked it at first, then no. Then yes. Then no. Overall, she looks like a wedding favor at a Chinese wedding.
It might be something I would buy, thinking I were bold enough to wear it. Then it would sit in my closet when I would periodically consider it, but then decide it was just a little too tacky to wear.
Ditto, minus the tacky and just sticking with “bold.”
Also, her legs look great!
Re: 50 Shades of Grey
I gave in and I’m reading it. I was reading it last and my husband asked me what was wrong because I had a look of horror on my face. He told me “I figured you were reading Stephen King or something.” And yet…I cant stop reading it. What the frick is wrong with me!?
There’s nothing wrong with you, honey. I read all three books and, although I knew they were poorly written tripe (Really?? a 22-year old college student who knows nothing about masturbation?), I couldn’t put them down either. I called it my shame spiral.
I didn’t finish the first one. Somewhat racy at times, but in between the titillatin parts, it drove me crazy with the biting the lip and the endless questioninig, the poor writing . . . Now if someone who could write wrote one, I’d finish it.
It’s my mission to persuade anyone purchasing this “book” at Costco to change her mind at the checkout. Two successes!
Good on you! Every time my fb friends rave about it, I kindly direct them toward much better “Mom Porn” like the Anne Rice Sleeping Beauty series.
I feel like the stripes & potentially the material are making her look a lot shorter and wider than she actually is.
I like it in theory but not in practice.
It looks like a dress covered in gold duct tape strips…
^ exactly what I was going to say. Like a home ec project.
You would probably decide not to buy it because it’s not special enough to warrant the price tag. But she probably got it for free.
In closeup the beading is SO beautiful, but something’s off. Maybe it’s the wearer?

YES! This is exactly how I feel about this stupid book. And yet there I am, reading intently.
Lee Anne poses an interesting challenge, though: Name 3 hot redheads.
1. Dead easy and as a matter of fact, he is27 years old: The one, the only, Hot Harry.
2. Damian Lewis, Band of Brothers
3. Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock
4. David Wenham, Lord of the Rings
Well, there we go. With one to spare. Not that I’m ever going to read that stupid book, but I do love me a redhead.
OH SHIT! Im totally imaging Harry as Grey now! HA! LOVE IT!
Eddie Redmayne.
Paul Bettany
Eric Stoltz
@ Lee Anne
That review was soooooo funny! “Laverne and Shirley” ah hah ha ha! Thank you for making my day.
OMG David Wenham… but I had NO clue he was 46. Wow. But then he’s of an age for me to seriously date or something, since I’m 42 and can think of him in sexy ways without feeling like a big pervy cougar. lol
Brilliant, brilliant review! Better than what little I read of the book!
Ha! Great review. It even mentions my own ‘worst book ever’ Bridges of Madison County! Seriously, couldn’t even get halfway through that. I did at least manage to finish Twilight, though that was a struggle. Blimey.
Nikki looks fine.
For me the material next to gold seem to clash, like tweed?
It would depend on how many appletinis I’d imbibed earlier in the day; and I would not have a viable alternate dress/wallpaper.
Well *I* wouldn’t even try it on because it would be a disaster on me, but I had to vote “yes” because I think it’s pretty great on her.
I swear to God that was EXACTLY the wallpaper in our kitchen when we bought our home, only the black parts were a kind of reddish-orange. It was expensive wallpaper, I know, because you could paint right over it, which we did even before we moved in. Otherwise we’d could not have slept in the place, it was that LOUD.
If this thing was in my closet, I’d donate it to Goodwill.
I liked this better before I zoomed on it – I was going to say if it was fitted better, but it is pretty fitted so it’s just doing what broad horizontal stripes always do, which is widen every body they touch.
But overall, just looking at her, I think she looks nice and it suits her somehow.
Yes! You would absolutely buy the dress, but you woul treat it much better than she did by actually styling your hair and everything else about the look. Punk ass punk throwing on a designer dress like that, with no extra work? Shameful.
What’s not to like? It’s bold yet it doesn’t hurt my eyes. It fits really well. It’s above the knees in youthful enough way yet avoids being gratuitously short – too many young-ish women wear dresses too short just cuz they’re young. I like it!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What Nancy said!
She looks like a barber pole at the Bellagio Hotel.
I don’t hate it or love it. It just looks like something that belongs on a heroine in an episode of “I Spy” or “It Takes A Thief,” but nothing that should exist in Real Life on an actual human.
Well I wouldn’t try it on because I am not a brunette, and this seems to have been designed with her coloring in mind. Gawd, the perfection of her brunette-ness. With her natural (super glossy) hair, those eyes have that Drowning Pool quality that romance authors use. They did a real disservice to her with the blonde wig in the movies. They should have cast a natural blonde or unapologetically changed Rosalie to a brunette.
Confession: I love the combination of sharp black and white with metallic. What I love most about this dress: the tiny, tiny little fringe at the bottom. So cute. She shines in this dress. A+.
I got totally derailed by the FSOG comments and have lost track of Nikki’s outfit. I guess that tells you what I think of it. Meh.
Anyway. To the person who named Eric Stoltz as a hot redhead: THANK YOU. Love that man. The chin dimple absolutely kills me.
Chocolate wrapper.
I really like it…as gift wrapping. I fee like wrapping up some copies of Shades of Grey in this stuff and handing it out as Christmas presents to all the women I know who are anti-SOG. I am pure evil. Mwah.
I love you all and your 50 Shades of Dafuq Am I Reading. I thought I was the only one with a sense of what’s not crap. Thank you. Faith in humanity has been restored.
*hate. 50 Shades of Dafuq am I reading HATE.
