Bruce Weber, well-played.

Cinematically Cinched...at the Waist

Klute, 1971
Starring: Jane Fonda
Costumes by: Ann Roth
Directed by: Alan J. Pakula

Jane Fonda gives perhaps her most memorable role as Bree Daniels, the original hooker with a heart of gold, and deservedly won her first of two Oscars (suck on that one, Roberts). Being a Hollywood film, despite the increasing push towards realism and naturalism of the 70s, this lady of the night comes with one of the most covetable wardrobes in all of filmdom.

Strike that pose, slut.

Though if Armed and Akimbo was making that kind of dough, we'd be in thigh high leather boots too...well, more often anyway. But it would be best to avoid that unruly cut. Like unprotected sex in a shipyard with several...several men or polyester, somethings just belong in the 70s.

Awkward pose, but the stare saves it.

Dear Uncle Karl,

You've given us some much. Reinvented bouclé tweeds. Ideas for dramatic weight loss. Invigorated senses of grandeur. Clever ideas to remain a closeted gay. Maybe your new career as "Director" will bless us with other artistic gems. Like this:

xo,

Armed and Akimbo

Oh hi...

Isn't this dress just bananas? I would smile and scream with excitement if the botox was settled in more. Right now though, I am tighter that my assistant Brad before his colonic. But seriously, I wanted an explosion of matronly prints and just look how perfectly I worked it out. I feel so Miami. Bea Arthur was so insanely jealous of this frock. You should've seen her. Completely fucking bananas.

Cinematically Cinched...at the Waist

Blow-Up, 1966
Starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Veruschka, David Hemmings
Costumes by: Jocelyn Rickards
Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni

Perhaps the first modern (read: decadent, drug-fueled, hypersexual..fun) look at fashion, and the first British film to show full frontal female nudity (somehow related...?), Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up is also a glamorous homage to London's swinging 60s. In one of the film's most famous scenes, Veruschka, all 73 inches and eight pounds of her, writhes on the floor and is straddled by her curiously comely photographer:



Then there's this little gem:



Yes, very tasty, indeed.

Icon of the Week: Prancer in the Dark

It's easy to forget how much of a fox La Dunaway was, but girl was a model and a beauty pageant queen before becoming one of the greatest actresses of her generation. Feel that neck, Sweetie... extend that leg. Now off with the sweater!
