I don't see "scary" at all in QL! I think she's a classic beauty. Have you seen her Cover Girl commercial?


I was just talking about that picture you posted up there (with the shiny jacket) - if that's QL, then she's scary.

(Funny - just to show how "oblivious" not having TV has left me - last time I spent any thought on Queen Latifah was when I taped her CD, what was it called ... "All Hail the Queen". I was in high school then ...)

Is that Queen Latifah, really? Also Very Scary. Not to mention that noone wearing a jacket like that would even be allowed in my house, period.



I guess I won't be visiting any time soon, nimh. I love that jacket. I would buy it in a heartbeat...IF I could afford it. Looks like silk shantung...probably couture.

That's a beautiful jacket the Queen is wearing. I don't get what's 'scary' about it at all. Please elaborate. What's scary about silk shantung?

Its just all wrong. Couture or not, it looks cheap, garish. The kind of thing someone who hasnt traditionally had a lot of money would buy if she suddenly became rich. What snobs would call, in dutch, "ordinair" (which my dictionary (badly) translates as "common" or "vulgar". As in, wearing obvious gold is ordinair. Wearing clothing with visible brand names is ordinair. Gucci is kinda ordinair.)

Anyway. Its just way too much "in your face", and is that something silver she has on underneath that? Combining silver and gold in layers over each other, thats just wrong. And then there's this whole faux-corporate thing about it, like, using what I assume is intended as a sensual, soft material, but then forcing it into some semi-business suit cut, probably out of compensation ... very eighties, somehow, and not the kind thats making such a comeback now. Like, "Miami Vice". I dunno. It makes me think of my aunt from The Hague, who would put something like that on, once a year, if she went to some fancy do. Ouch.

(Hehhehheh. Channeling my inner doorbitch ... :wink: )

Hadn't remembered the name Angela Bassett, but she looks very pretty ... Now I looked up who she is, impressive list of movies. Boyz N the Hood was a good movie, and I still regret not having seen Malcolm X. Seen five of Lee's other movies, but not X - kickass soundtrack CD, tho.

So we're on to beautiful black women now, huh? Tyra Banks should definitely be on this list then. What a rack. Laughing

Your standards are clearly different from ours, nimh. Well-dressed Americans often consider the typical European "tasteful" wardrobe drab and dull. Guess it all depends on where you are.

When I was in France last year, the only outfit I wore that got comments of approval was a long, straight black dress with a black and white printed scarf tied around the waist as a belt. (White sandals with heels, simple pearl earrings.) The same outfit has never elicited a single comment here at home. Not once.

I always thought Gillian Anderson was gorgeous. She has a classically beautiful face, but she's got an attitude/ intelligence/ humor thing that I like.

Well, I'm on the 10th page of a Google image search, and it's all cheesecake, which is fine, but I was going for an a/i/h shot. This'll have to do:

http://www.azerbaijancinema.com/img/photos/a3.jpg

OK, observation that has to do with some of nimh's comments: all the photos that were about what I was looking for -- smile, intelligence, personality -- were archived on NON-American sites. The rest of 'em were cheesecake, cheesecake, cookie-cutter pose, standard pout, cheesecake.

Hmph.

The attitude/ intelligence/ humor thing is what I tend to go for. Denzel Washington has this in spades. (Sigh...)

lol

actually - i had to reconstruct your link in the address bar cause just clicking it got me a 404 - but i can see it now - and that thing looks pretty cute! What she's wearing, I mean. Different planet from what the Queen had donned on the other picture. This, imho, is tasteful and looks "natural" - like, totally in flow with the person, not flashy, just precious.

kinda like the difference between a mercedes and a daimler, i guess ... ;-)
