My GOD! who was picking Lara Parkers wardrobe. . what were they trying to say?? Angelique the vamp needs to be a bit more vampy. . .the white angelic thing would work if it was a bit more fitted. . the ruffled necklines, uck! How did Marie Wallace rate the sexy black nightie and Lara got her Granny's clothes?

Luciaphil and I have had a bit of a thing going on this subject going back to the last time it was shown. She hates the white gown and I love it! :)
-
LOL! Ya know this is the second time around now that I've been watching these episodes, but before that I couldn't remember a thing about Angelique being a vampire, except that she was always in that white dress!!
It seems like she and Julia always get the short end of the stick when it comes to fashion, although as Cassandra, Lara Parker did manage to have a somewhat more diversified wardrobe.
Although Marie Wallace did have a more flattering dress, I don't think she faired all that well either since this is the only dress that she gets to wear throughout this whole storyline. ;)

Josette, I am with you...I also like the "white gown"...
-
Mine is another "yes" vote for the white dress. I love Ang in the black velvet the other day, too, when she tried to "seduce" the young policeman.

Isn't that a question at times we could ask about anyone on the show?
-
I suspect that Angelique's white vampire get-up was a welcome relief from the sleeveless Ohrbach's creations that Cassandra wore endlessly! :)

Touche VAM!
Now the white dress was a good concept but the actual execution of the dress .. she's fitted from neck to ankle. .she's showing less skin than Julia.. . .Parkers NODS white dress. . now that was nice although she wore the bustier from Hell i'm sure. . she wasn't all that ummm .. endowed.

See, I liked the wardrobe she had as Cassandra. Nice variety of clothes. The colors and cuts flattered her most of the time. She looked good, I thought. The wig . . . okay, the wig was just evil, scary, bad.
Her outfits as the vampire just blow chunks. They're all those quasi-cocktail/hostess gown things. I think the concept was to build off of what the vampire chicks in the Universal Horror films wore, but c'mon, already. Barnabas wears suits. She couldn't have some nice ordinary clothes?
I don't think they flatter her (that one ruffled creation was just putrid) although her hair looks quite nice. But I can count on one hand the times that the hair and the clothes were good.
Eve's black dress is flattering, but poor Marie Wallace got to spend a lot of time in it, seeing as how it's the only outfit Eve gets.

Gee Luciaphil, how many fingers do you have on one hand? ;)

I think Nicky Blair punished Vampy Angelique by making her go to the old Blue Light Specials at K-Mart.

Just the five :)
In 1795, she had to wear that doily on her head half the time. She did look great in her first wedding dress (that would be one of the five).
Her hair as Cassandra was ghastly, although the clothes were great.
As 1897, she had like two dresses, one of them poison green and the other that purple and rose bib thing, but the hair was good.
I vaguely remember her "hip" clothes as Angelique,ex-fashion model, but I don't retain fond memories of them.
I refuse to think about 1970PT until I absolutely have to.
And do we really have to go into 1840PT? because everybody had the worst hair and some scary, scary clothes.
I know you're a big LP fan; this is not a criticism of her, understand, merely the costume and hair people who apparently could never get their act together.

::)I like Angelique's in white. White is supposed to be for purity and goodness, and she is so opposite those traits. Eve's black fits her personality so much better!
Afan who hopes that my name comes out in pink.
Afan Afan Yeah!
it did! ;D

I think Angelique's bed clothes might very well be Victoria's darkest and scariest Secret... :)
-
Yes, I am another one in favor of Angelique's white dress. I also liked some of her clothes as Cassandra. My favorite one was the long, different colored dress with the long black sweater coat. I want that outfit. :)

Think she had a secret panel?

Hello Robin, I believe the dark dress you speak of was actually a very dark Green, I recall catching glimpses of green velvet when the light hit her dress from time to time...
I also like this white dress, I suppose it reminds me of coffin liner for some reason.
-

I agree! I really thought that first wedding dress was really pretty. :)
-
I like Angelique's "white dress" but it gets a little old after a while. However, it appears a pale blue on my tv!! ?!? And speaking of outfits, Nicholas "The Joker" Blair's suit probably wandered around Collinsport on it's own while he slept! ;D

Except Julia her makeup was great, hair and dresses ..especially the blue-gray thing and those capes! And great earrings too. But yes some of the other chicks. .Roxanne and Samantha. .horrible hair!
-
J99, I agree that Julia was striking in the period costumes. I also think she looked great in the black outfit this week.

I too love Angelique's white dress.....she made it work, by George!
Even in this day and age, she would make it on my ten best-dressed list on that dress alone....not to mention she made one awesome vampire!
-
She also had a black velvet looking gown with a white trim that I liked. The white was ok but sort of nondescript. It was a heck of a lot better than her clothes as Cassandra. I didn't mind the dresses that weren't that horrid neon green color (which with the hair was atrocious) one was red and one was a gray and white number that was rather attractive. As for 1970 parallel time, I agree with whoever said let's not go there. When she was in the past, her dresses were much prettier (as was her hair) especially 1840 when they finally let her wear blue. She looks awesome in blue.

I absolutely hated Angelique's white vampire gown. To me, it was as if someone pulled drapes off a window, threw them over her, and tied a sash around her waist! That thing was just hideous and did the beautiful Lara Parker no favors. Now, on the other hand, the gown she's wearing in 1970PT (in the portrait and in her coffin) is fabulous and really suits her. Too, I loved the elbow-length gloves -- very elegant!
While we're on the subject, there was just no excuse for Quentin's plaid jacket in 1970PT! He has model-good looks, and a navy-blue, double-breasted blazer was more the ticket.
BTW, loved the comment on Nicholas Blair's get-up. You are so right -- it probably did wander around Collinsport by itself at night when Nicky was sleeping (did he ever sleep? -- another subject for another day).

Ang and Eve were semi-prisoners of Blair's, so he wouldn't really care about getting them a lot of nice clothes, and would rather see them in nighties, which might encourage them to stay at 'home'. I enjoyed in one scene seeing Ang and Eve hanging out just outside Collinwood in their respective white and black nightgowns, unobserved. One of those 'anything goes' DS moments.
