Diane Kruger Makes Things Work

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Where did this girl come from? I just looked her up on on imdb and discovered that she has racked up 22 speaking roles as an actress in the past 7 years (though many of these are films/shows you couldn’t be less familiar with) so maybe I’m just blind.  I might have noticed her in ‘Troy’, but I stayed away from the ‘National Treasure’s because… well… Nick Cage as an adventurous hero? However I stumbled onto her – I’m glad I’ve found Diane Kruger now.

This Inglorious Basterd is Glorious.

This Inglorious Basterd is GLORIOUS!

This pic is from the recent New York premier of the new Quentin Tarantino film ‘Inglorious Basterds’, the cast of which includes Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, and B.J. Novak.  The dress she chose is just great for her – with a retro styling fit for a silver-screen starlet, and the simple but bright hair and makeup supporting the era statement.  Transforming into an updated 1940s-esque sex symbol works in perfect conjunction with the plot line and period of the movie she is promoting.  The sequins and reflective detailing contribute to the antique feel, but the cut of the dress brings it into modern times just enough.  I love that her hair is nearly undone, and her eyes have only noticeable mascara – the lack of color all around the rest of her face makes her lips and eyes pop.   She’s hot, in a classic way, which is pretty rare and really hard to do.

Megan Fox “Transforms” Me

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Find me a man who thinks Megan Fox is not the most exciting thing about the Transformers franchise, and I’ll show you a man who either likes men, or who played with legos clear throughout high school.  She’s just got something about her.

I do what i want.

I do what i want.

Maybe it’s the dark features/light eyes combo; maybe it’s the frequent use of bright red lipstick; maybe it’s the bikini line tattoo and the fact that she loves showing it off; or maybe it’s that she can’t help but bring her porn face to the red carpet while wearing an evening gown.  Whatever it is, she’s doing something right.  Last night at the LA premier of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, Megan wore a white, toga-style, drop waist dress with a thin triple-strapped  black leather belt.  White is not something you see Megan try often (for obvious reasons), but when she does, it works.  The asymmetrical neckline and looser fit are also rarities for Maxim’s #1 on the 2009 Hot 100 List, but good golly miss molly you don’t hear anyone complaining.

Ok, you’re not interested in just hearing me gawk at the hot girls like a construction worker shouting cat calls on a city sidewalk… so i’ll give you my penguin fashion nugget here:  When you’re wearing an asymetrical dress (and any dress for that matter, but particularly an ‘asym’)… you have to know you’re good side.  Or at least know what side is what and be conscious of it.

"Hi. I'm sexy" ............................... "Hi. I'm elegant"

"Hi. I'm sexy" ............................... "Hi. I'm elegant"

You can see from the pics above, Megan is conscious of how she looks from all angles, and she definitely plays those angles.  In the pic on the left, FOXy is throwin’ a ‘come hither’ glare at the camera and fans with tons of skin of her whole right side and maybe some side-boob exposed. Sexy. The other pic (above right) shows a more subdued pose and as innocent a face as Megan can make believable, with the thick dropped strap, and more elegant left side of the dress showing.  Both are great looks – but you should be conscious of what’s what from what angle.
