Fug or Fab: Mary-Louise Parker

So, I was totally on board with Weeds for like a really long time. And then at some point this season — I believe it was when Whatshisnuts started sleeping with the high-end cheese shop woman — I was like, “Oh my god. I am OUT.” Life’s too short, you know? Besides, all the bits about Mexican drug cartels just made me miss Kingpin. That show had A MAN-EATING TIGER. And VOODOO. And Bobby Cannavale. NBC, you broke my heart when you decided against any more man-eating tigers. ANYWAY. Weeds did give me a new appreciation for Mary Louise Parker, whom I’d previously dismissed as someone who seemed like a dead-eyed pain in the neck. She’s actually really good on the show. Her character, however, has a tendency to wear super cute dresses that have the major drawback of being incredibly, inappropriately short. I mean, she’s got great legs, but there’s looking leggy and then there’s — to borrow from AbFab — making the world your gynecologist. And unfortunately, this seems to have bled into her real life:

I mean, the dress is gorgeous. But this length makes it feel a bit….Tinkerbell: Night on the Town. No?
