Lara Flynn Boyle’s dress was absolutely horrendous. She looked like one of those music box ballerinas. On another note, I reaffirm my undying love for Jennifer Connelly. (yes, I know she just got married:( ) She looked totally amazing, and that voice drives me wild. ---

Thank you! You actually beat me to this…I was going to post the same topic. Lara Flyn Boylerina was hideous. As was Sharon Stone’s Chicago meets Cats…_thing_. Feline flappers unite! Just horrible. On the other hand, Sigourney Weaver’s outfit was very classy. I did find myself wishing my friend with whom I cut on awards shows were here tonight. We would have had so much fun with this mess… ---

It’s coming on in ten minutes on the west coast… I didn’t watch the arrivals show. Did I miss much that I can’t catch in next week’s People magazine? ---

**EJsGirl** , no. As far as I could see, most of the hideous stuff got onstage as presenter wear. ---

Ms. Boyle would have to be up to her eyeballs in yes men to think the outfit she was wearing was acceptable for ANY occasion. The see-through bottom really showed off her emaciated look though. Missed the rest of the show. ---

Lara Flynn Boyle was the Bjork of this year’s awards show! No dead swan, but a stupid ballerina look nonetheless. What WAS she thinking??? Too much black. Too much skin showing. Too much stick straight hair. Whoever said that kind of hair style was attractive??? But it was nice to see that most of the winners were there to accept their awards and go on. . . and on. . . and on. . . ---

Though the thread started before the west coast got a chance to see the Golden Globe Awards, now that I’ve seen much of it, I consider the first post to be a warning, not a spoiler. 🙂 ---

So, were there any women displaying large tracts of flesh or wearing stuff that looked like bondage gear? (Yes, I didn’t watch the awards but I’m still asking you to pander to my base male interests here – anybody got a problem with that?) 😃 ---

That Lara Flynn Boyle dress would work on a six year old at Halloween. On a malnourished adult ? :eek: Lara, have a sandwich **and** fries. And digest it. Thanks. ---

No, the coture at the Golden Globes was classy for the most part. I didn’t see any of the ho- and skank-wear that music award shows seem to bring out. ---

To me, Lara Flyn Boyle’s dress was merely ridiculous; it’s the way it looked on her that was horrendous. Looking at her emaciated body made me feel queasy, and it’s sad that she seems proud of the way she looks. ---

Sharon Stone seems to still have decent breasts. Her nipples were completely see-able through that top when she was presenting. I was really surprised it didn’t get blurred. ---

The three dresses that stuck out to me… or at least made me say… “GOOD GOD! WHAT IS THAT THING!” Lara Flynn Boyle’s anorexic ballerina. Sharon Stone’s My Dress Got Caught in the Paper Shredder, But there Wasn’t Enough Time to Change Dress. Goldie Hawns maybe if I push my boobs to the side instead of letting them droop, it’ll still look like I have cleavage dress. Speaking of boobs, did anybody else notice Meryl Streep adjust hers right on stage, at the podium, just before giving her speech? That was wierd… ---

Well, what’s more embarassing: standing on the podium and having one of your boobs come out, or standing on the podium and adjusting your boobs so they don’t come out? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by LolaCocaCola \* > \*\*Lara Flynn Boyle = The NutCrackWhore \*\* 😃 She _almost_ could have gotten away with the dress if she hadn’t had on those shoes that laced up all the way up her legs. WFT was she thinking?!? Sharon Stone never looks good. Goldie Hawn; give it up, babe, you’re over 50. Stop trying to dress like your daughter. It’s amazing…the amount of money these people have, but apparently none of them have mirrors. Sad, really.
