[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The hair is clearly a nod to Marilyn. I mean you are trash talking one of the most famous dresses of all time calling it a blah dress. It isn't always about looking great (although I think she does honestly and think the only people who don't think that just hate her on principal) but about getting your references down. Going platinum blonde is getting your reference down. [/quote]

No. PP said that the MM dress looks blah [i]on Kim[/i], and it does.
You must be joking about going platinum blonde, because that "reference" is really weak and doesn't translate.

Overall, it's a pretentious attempt with an underwhelming result and a huge stretch in following the theme.[/quote]

The reference of dying your hair platinum blonde while referencing marilyn monroe is a weak reference?????? What? The woman is a FAMOUS platinum blonde? I feel like you all are stretching. Dying ones hair platinum blonde while referencing MM is more 'too on the nose' than it is 'really weak and doesn't translate' if it is anything. [/quote]
NP. It doesn’t look platinum, it just looks washed out. It didn’t translate. It’s okay. Are you her stylist or something? [/quote]

I'm not her stylist or even a fan. I just think you are making no sense. [/quote]

We're telling you that she didn't look that good. Her idea was good, her execution was lacking. It led to a normally very striking woman looking strangely blah. What don't you understand about that?

Sure, yes, nods to MM - whatever! The point is to get there and look striking. She didn't.[/quote]

That is not what you said. You said this:

[quote]You must be joking about going platinum blonde, because that "reference" is really weak and doesn't translate.[/quote]

[quote]It doesn’t look platinum[/quote]

I'm not arguing with you about whether she looked great. I think that is totally a matter of subjective opinion. I just think it seems like you are determined to find universal and nonsensical fault. Say it is underwhelming, fine, but she wore the actual dress MM wore, which is an american historical artifact, and regardless of your thoughts of the dye job, she dyed her hair a clear homage to MM. You can say it didn't look good! Fine! But it wasn't unclear or weak, and I'm not sure how wearing the ACTUAL DRESS could 'not translate'. I'm just saying regardless of how well you think the execution is, she was clearly executing the theme, and you are like, weirdly offended I think you are making no sense. But you are making no sense calling a platinum dye job a 'weak' reference to MM. [/quote]

You're responding to someone else - but if I had to guess what they meant, her "platinum" didn't look platinum. It looked orange. She might have been trying to reference Marilyn with her "blonde" hair but it was a far way off. She captured none of the sexiness or playfulness or ease of Marilyn's look - that was her whole thing; that sort of breathless, effortless sexiness. Kim looked studied and boring - she always looks like she's trying hard but she rarely looks boring. Last night she did![/quote]

This is the kind of comment that makes me think you guys are yanking my chain or something. Her hair did not look orange? What? I'm honestly not some super fan it just seems like you guys are like, saying crazy kind of silly things in criticism. The whole 80s explanation slicked back vs MM era hair made sense. But I mean, she clearly was going for platinum blonde.

Different lighting - it read (to me) as more orange-y in other pics. Here it does look dyed blond, yes. She looks better overall here. Perhaps it's posture. I still think it was a bad look for her.[/quote]

She looks beautiful, but the hair color does not suit her.  And the hair style does not go with the dress.  Kudos to her for managing the weight loss!  I had no idea Marilyn was so much smaller than Kim.

[b]Speaking of hair style, what does everyone think of Kris Jenner's flip?  It's a departure from her signature short style.[/b][/quote]  I liked it. I also liked her dress.  I think she looked better than her daughters.[/quote]

I think there’s something a little strange about Kris invoking Jackie O on a night where her daughter invoked MM![/quote]
