SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR at the TVB b-day bash 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Frankly one wonders who dresses them because make up very nice but dress ranges from ok to "please burn it!" reaction. I haven't seen all nor have I seen the whole dress but some I can just imagine the rest of it. Some brought 2 gowns! I do understand though that some artistes may lack the sponsorship and the funding for better or branded gowns, after all this is not Oscars where someone gets sponsored (and even there some actresses just look plain and frumpy) but at the end of the day even one requires good taste to choose even the cheapest gowns to maximise one's looks to become more expensive looking so to speak.

Therefore, below are my Please Wear It Again Outfit, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and The Please Burn It Outfit for some of the actresses.


Please Wear It Again Outfit

I didn't see the bottom half but from what I could observe on top, this is a good one. I will admit the lace doesn't quite make this dress into a classic good looking one per se and slap on a veil on the head and it could be a wedding gown. BUT why I chose this because it is fitting for a very grand award ceremony and let's assume this was a grand ceremony. Her hair is nice, the colour is nice, the jewels and all is nice and she comes with a good looking date as well. Maybe her husband should dress more appropriately but I feel this is really essentially a very grand looking dress, even if without the head gear and it compliments Kenix's looks. By the way apart from her nose did she do something to her ermmmm top body? Or is that A-class push up bra?

The Good

Can't see the bottom half but the top looks graceful, elegant and Nancy Sit is always a good dresser for such occassion.

She has the honour of wearing both the good and the ugly for the same night. I couldn't see the bottom half but the top is classic looking. I like this one. It would be better though if the head is chopped off because that's the part that doesn't suit the dress, sadly.


A very simple design but looks good on Yoyo. I like the belt thing.

The Bad

She looks like she's wearing a table cloth that someone forgot to iron it. The fake fur also so out of season. But hair is ok.

Too silver-ish. Bad design and does not compliment her healthy body.


Too simple and what's with fake furs?


Both ladies look like they're going for some afternoon tea at some event held at a garden because the dresses look too casual but not that casual for ordinary days. Not suitable for the event. But one in blue is a nice colour. Between the two Sonija's one is more like picnic dress if not for that expensive thing hanging around her neck.


Colour is hideous, make up is bad and design not good but one thing that makes this not The Ugly is the neck part. I believe only Anne Heung has the swan-like neck to carry off this one. She should have worn any one of the qipaos she wore in Riches And Stitches.


Horribly old looking design making her look not classic nor vintage but simply old. And what's with that fur again?!


With the exception of Yoyo Mung, the rest ranges from "Bad" to "Wah lau eh! So bad!". For one, Jess. Her gown is simple and it could've been nice but for one, her posture is very bad and second her top is not enough to carry the dress. So it ultimately looks bad on her and does not compliment her. Charmaine's dress is like dug from from some early 90's cupboard and the design looks not just old, but dated. She tried to spruce things up with her fake pink fur but why fur? Why? Her hair is original but she looks more like a bridesmaid attending a wedding than a sophisticated Big Sister at an awards ceremony of celebration. She really don't know how to dress for big time occassions and in something that compliments her figure instead of this, like folded type dress. Why? Gigi Lai's one is so old looking, it does not make her look young but make her look haggard. It is such a bad looking dress. Melissa Ng's dress in design is nice but the pattern is like again picnic type of pattern. So in the end not nice. In the end the one with the boldest colour is Charmaine's but everybody except for Yoyo falls flat in looking like a lady. They just look badly dressed.


The Ugly

The art of wearing such gown is first and foremost ensure one is ermm well endowed on top or rather wear something to make it look well endowed. She's young but this dress makes her look old and flat. The head gear is nice though. A pity.


Why young pretty girls all dress so frumpily? This is one of the worst!


Scary looking dress and an even more scary looking hair.


Someone thinks she is Barbie I guess. More suitable for school play (as in playing Rapunzel or Sleeping Beuty). Colour is nice but the design is hideous.


She looked like she just came from the beach with a silk batik design wrap around her body. But for someone her age, she still looks amazingly pretty.


This by Dodo Cheng could have been the worst of the lot (and it is self explanatory why it is so bad) if not for this one below...

The Please Burn It Outfit

Acting already very bad, reputation also quite bad now it is confirmed she is an all rounder; her fashion sense is worse than her acting skills, and I guess in terms of acting skill, Shirley Yeung must be quite pleased with this statement. I think this is her way to outstage herself; concentrate on my hideous gown, forget about my performance. Hair also bad.

And that concludes my WHAT NOT TO WEAR at the TVB B-day bash. The men didn't do too well either.

I like quite a number of dress u put in the 'The Bad' category.

I like Angela's first dress, especially her see-through sleeves. Overall the dress looks good to me. Got a 'abstract art' feel to it. The fake fur (u seem to have a problem with fake furs) is a good edition to the dress.

I also like Anne's red dress. The design is not bad. I especially like the neck part. Anne look elegant in her red dress.

I also like all 3 the 'picnic' dresses wore by Sonija, Tavia and Melissa respectively. The flowery design and pale colors of Sonija's dress gives a gentle feel to the dress and its wearer. The jewelery add richer feel to it too. But the lace should go. That lace is so 20 years ago. The designer should put in a more classier lace. As for Tavia's dress. The color scheme is good and her 'belt' is better than Sonija's. I think the pattern in Melissa's dress makes the dress looks good. Plain single color would make the dress pretty dull.

I even like 1 of the dress u put in the 'The Ugly' caterogy. I like bottom fold-in part of Nikki's dress. Come to think of it, the whole dress is cute and unique. Young girl should dress young lah. If young don't dress experimental dress, when to dress? Not all must dress like elegant aunty.

Ditto to Kidd's comment. . . I also liked Angela's dress and the picnic dresses, including Vivian's. I especially like Gigi's dress that Funn termed "old". . . Although they don't go all glamorous like previous years, I also like the "casual" look of this year. And I also noticed that they're quite consistent in terms of similar fashion. If you recall, last year was all fur, not this year I see alot of printed flowing dresses. . . .

Whatever is in, that's what you'll see that year whether it suits the wearer or not. Maybe different tastes for different people but I definitely do not like Gigi's dress. Some wear dresses that are too old, some too frumpy, mostly too casual, some too simple. Maybe TVB b-day bash is neither here nor there but very few actually gets it right or even look glamarous. If these dresses were to be worn in OSCAR they'll be criticised.

Wow, many of the women are still so beautiful...However, what's up with all the hair that looks like a bird nest, and I guess they are soooo into J.LO's fashion sense with those furs, huh? Somebody please save the birds and the animals! :)

Peace!

P.S. Frankie, Kenix, Dodo Cheng and Vivian age beautifully!
