One Dress a Day Challenge

April: Yellow Redux

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days / Kate Hudson as Andie Anderson

This slinky satin dress with its super-low-cut back became instantly iconic as soon as it appeared on the movie poster. It's reminiscent of 1930s styles with its long, sleek lines and of course the plunging back. I suspect the crossed straps are needed to hold it in place.

When I first read Dracula as a teenager, it set off an extreme vampire obsession in me. I started researching folklore, looked up stuff vaguely connected to vampires, read a ton of vampire fiction, made lists of everything I hadn’t gotten to as kind of a to-look-at list (naturally I didn’t get to most of it), watched a few movies and tv shows, etc.

One of the folklore things I learned about was that after staking a vampire, you leave the stake in. Otherwise it could get up again.

The person who would be my future S.O. told me about the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And they convinced me to see it because it had a vampire in it. Easy hook. And yeah, I enjoyed it at the time. A lot, actually. There was also one detail late in the film that had me all excited too.

The vampire gets into a fight with another character. Swords and knives flashing and slashing. Two people with extreme healing factors. The other character stabbed the vampire. At the time, I wasn’t sure if it was the heart, but it seemed serious from the way she was reacting, and she went down.

Then the scene cuts away to some other stuff. When it cuts back, the other character took his sword out of her body, and my attention sharpened. Nowadays, even without the vampire research, it would be easy to tell from the whole setup that she was still alive. But at the time, I was so freakin’ excited that she only started moving again AFTER the sword was taken out of her body. Just like unstaking a vampire. I was convinced back then that that was the fatal goof the other character made. “He should never have taken it out!” I kept saying.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but it’s still a thing that makes me smile in that so goofy movie. I haven’t seen it in years, but I used to watch it a lot. I was crazy about it.
