Hey Starlets, Give This Trend the Boot

It looks like Sandra Bullock tucked her red tablecloth into her shirt instead of her napkin then realized she was late for her bus and ran out the door.

What td said.

The boots are the least offensive thing about the whole getup.

It also looks like she's wearing the ace bandage they make you wear after a boob job to keep the fake girls from settling too high.

In all three of those ladies, the outfits make them look about 2 feet tall.

I can see wearing those ankle boots with opaque tights and a wool skirt/shorts in the fall but they look really, really awful with nice, flimsy dresses. And I've been seeing that a lot lately too and was hoping it was just a very short fad. Apparently, great minds think alike;)

Sandra Bullock is one of my rare non-Latina celeb crushes. But in this bic, not so much. Bad angle, bad clothes, bad background. Kinda looks like Barbra Streisand's little sister.

Yeah, the bandage thing looks like she is trying to hide the cleavage the dress is designed to show off. If you are too embarassed to show the girls in public, don't pick a dress that puts them on display.

So, ee, purely out of scientific curiousity, what's the deal? Do the float away like helium balloons if not restrained?

Really bad photo of Sandra Bullock - hair- make-up - wardrobe - are all bad.

Spike-heeled ankle boots? Bleeeeghhh.

As ever,

Curmudgeon

Have to agree. I'm normally a fan and I would tell a girlfriend if they were about to make a huge mistake. Too bad no one told Sandra. Looks like she just stepped out of the shower and put a big shiny red towel on around her dress. She even has a "shower hairdo". Short boots and short dresses...Not a fan.

Hilarious! Though, er, I was kinda wondering the same thing. . . .

Spike-heeled ankle boots... another remnant of the 1980s that should have stayed dead.

For some weird reason, Sandra's dress reminds me of a flag-twirler uniform: clashing, ill-fitting, cringe-inducing for the wearer -- she doesn't look too happy -- and just generally godawful.

Sandra doesn't look particularly happy about this get-up either.

I'm so happy for this post, Liz. Now can someone please validate my opinion that gladiator-type shoes are even MORE heinous than ankle boots?

Ankle boots without jeans or other suitable pants don't look good on anyone, even skeletonesque models. Makes you wonder who designs this crap (it can't possibly be a woman or anyone who loves them).

This should have been addressed to "Tartlets." Short of stripper shoes, it's hard to imagine a trashier look. Let's call 'em "booty boots." They'll go well with whale tails (the exposed top of a thong from the rear) and "tramp stamps" (the tattoo often seen above and to the side of the whale tail). Beware the tramp stamp, girls - soon you'll have bingo wings like Liz and it won't look so hot.

Me too. What is up with that? I can't even visualize it.

No, no. The most heinous type of shoe is when they add a PEEP TOE to the booty. It doesn't make any sense and is completely gross.

Agreed that it's not terribly flattering on anyone, but I'll admit that of the three I like that Scout girl's take the best of the three, possibly because the skirt is flouncy and does more to soften the straight-as-an-arrow-from-bust-to-ugly-shoes line.

ok, since so many of you are dying to know, I'm getting out my stethescope so I can do a proper clinical consult....

The reason why a patient's breasts are bound after a breast augmentation surgery (for you lizards, aka boob job) is to prevent excessive movement of the breasts in the post-op period so that the tissues have time to heal and for the patient's comfort.

Doc, don't we refer to the procedure as embiggening?

Sandra looks like she was waiting tables in some steakhouse and a drunk ripped off her shirt so she grabbed some tablecloths to cover up.

Nosy you are right and I think on another blog it would be "stretching the shoes".

Frankly, the outfits on Bullock and Bush are so utterly horrifying that I find it hard to even notice the footwear. Bullock's dress looks like it was constructed by an 8th grade home-economics student, and it never fit her properly. The waist on Bush's skirt is perilously close to her breasts, the blouse is dumpy, and the two pieces look bizarrely mismatched. Seriously, yuck.

Outstanding snark, Malkyne!

Thanks, Dr. Hodie!

Yeah, sorry for the delay.

In my non-doctor, non-experienced encounters with such things..

apparently the pectoral muscles tend to contract post-surgery, so if the bandage isn't worn, the implants can wind up being more...um...neck-ward than intended. At least that's what my former boss told me when she got hers done. The way she dressed, it was almost as if she was trying to show off the bandage...
