Beehive buns aside, I am loving this two-piece dress trend, and Kristen manages to make what could be a semi-skanky choice into a classy, elegant look.

Damsels in the Hive
Kristen Stewart, according to Forbes, is now the highest paid actress in Hollywood. In this picture, she looks pretty happy with herself, attending the Australian premier of Snow White and the Huntsman. Which, in my humble opinion was entertaining but not fully explained.
Though I'm pretty much for this dress, I'm way against what she's doing with her hair. Cone-heads do not a highly-paid actress make, as my mother used to say (paraphrased).

Grab Your Embroidery, Damsels!
This was Keira Knightley's dress for the 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival in promotion of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
It's...so...close. I love Keira! I'm loving what she's doing with her hair, I always love the movies she chooses—though, who wouldn't love a period piece?—and I am so excited for Anna Karenina (click it, it is the link to the trailer), I could burst.
But, this...leaves something to be desired. I wish it looked less like a hand-embroidered tablecloth, and more like the boho, floral dress you know she wants it to be. I mean, look at the flowers in her hair!
What's going wrong here is the color, the length, and the ammount of embroidery (um, the whole dress). Work with me Keira, not against me! Let me keep being your biggest fan! I am so happy for your new engagement, and your movie roles seem to be picking up, which I am also excited for. . . Why not let me be excited about your clothing choices too? I usually am! I am just left feeling a little disheartened.
Step it up, Keira. You don't want to let me down again.

Big News for Damsels
Yes. We feel bad about it, but what's done is done. We've neglected you, loyal Damsels, and we don't know how we can repay you, except to give you this gem from Hollywood.
Damsels, I give you Taken 2. Yes. Liam Neeson is back again in his best role, and we couldn't be more pleased.
A still you ask? I'll do even more, I'll give you two:
So, what's the story this time? Looks like Neeson's wife is taken, and he resorts to the same, awesomely bad-ass tactics he used before to bring those nasty human traffickers to justice.
I wouldn't skimp on you! Here's the trailer:
Good news and a Hummana, Hummana all wrapped into one? Wow, I'm good. Stay tuned for more awesome Damsel in a Dress, as well as frequent updates on Liam Neeson—in other words, exactly everything you want to hear.

Gladiator Damsels
When gladiator sandals first made their fashion debut, I remember everyone around me being a little skeptical. They threatened the reign of the simplistic flip flop and seemed overly complicated with the array of zippers and buckles. But I loved them, probably because Rachel and I were—and still totally are—obsessed with the movie Gladiator. (How can you not cry when they carry Russel Crowe out of the arena? Or when his slave-friend buries his little wife and child statues? "Not yet, not yet.")
And I'm still in favor of them, fashion trend or no. They add visual interest without overpowering an outfit. Or at least, the gladiator sandals of my youth did. But they were bitten by a radioactive spider and now they're...GLADIATOR sandals.
The difference, Damsels, between gladiators and GLADIATORS are gladiator sandals are cute and fashion-forward whereas GLADIATORS are literally trying to kill you by eating your leg.
We will meet again, adorable gladiator sandals. But not yet. Not yet.

Bikini'd Damsels
I still vividly remember fighting with my father over a tankini when I was in 6th grade. It was the weekend before our class pool party, and anyone who was anyone was going to be showing their midriff—some girls even had bikinis (the scandal!). So it was of the utmost importance I AT LEAST had a tankini, but Papa Megan didn't like the idea of his little girl being anything but "covered up."
It's a bad sign when this memory was sparked by a bikini from Free People:
My father would like the direction this is going in, but I'm...befuddled. It's a bikini top, so you're obviously going to be showing a lot of skin. But Free People draws the line at collar bone/cleave? And who wants this tan line, anyway? I could go running and have more of my neckline exposed in a sports bra than in this swimsuit.
Unless this is some kind of marketing genius where Free People realizes this is where most women burn the easiest, so this is what you wear after your chest has turned lobster-red. It's perfect, actually—you hide your lobster cleave while it calms down and wear this shiny flesh colored fabric swatch over it. MISDIRECTION, DAMSELS.
Okay, never mind, best swimsuit ever!

This Damsel is a Dame
Gather 'round, children. I 'as a story for ye.
Once there was a cockney lady livin' in de streets o' london town. It was back in de early 1900's, it was. She 'obbled 'round lookin' for a bite, and 'fore she knew what 'it 'er, a man 'eard 'er speakin' n' slurin'. What a reighteous man 'e was, that Mr. 'iggins. 'ow noble 'e must've felt to take me off de streets. Well, just you wait 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
Oh, don't frighten Helena, Damsels. Act perfectly normal. We don't want to scare away her natural charm and cukoo ways by speaking logically. Just let her go on in costume. I think that scene where her father's supposed to get to the church on time might be coming up next, and, believe me, you don't want to miss it.
Truly, Helena, never change. We love you just the way you are, you crazy, beautiful coot!
