Friday Frock: Purple

Can we talk about Allison Janney for a moment? She’s responsible for one of my favourite characters in my favourite television show ever:

And this could be my favourite moment in the show (it’s not, but it is up there)

Seriously, if someone said this to me:

“I just want you to talk to me about it. I want us to talk about what it will mean and we’ll make it work. I want us to talk like we’re gonna figure it out together. I want us to talk…because I like the sound of your voice.”

I would probably fall down dead at the sheer romanticness of it all.  “I want us to talk…because I like the sound of your voice”.  If you ever want me to do something for you….that’s the line right there.

Also, she’s responsible for my favourite moment in the movie Juno, which I can’t find video of, but which goes like this:

Bren: When you move out I’m getting two Weimaraners!
Juno MacGuff: WHOA DREAM BIG!
Bren: Oh, go fly a kite!

And how about this quote from her:

“Dogs tether you to the earth in some really good way. And exercise, of course. And martinis. And sexy high heels. That’s it. Good work, a nice pair of heels, a martini, a dog and a man – not necessarily in that order.”

So, I think we can agree she’s pretty freaking awesome.  The kind of woman we like here at CITNB.  (By which I mean, likes heels, and booze.)

And then, there’s this:

Jo pointed me to this picture, and I think that is the literal definition of a tall drink of water.  A tall, divine, incredibly beautiful, pretty much perfect, drink of water.

I could wax lyrical about how great the the colour is, and the unexpected but cool detail of the red ring, the diamond bangles, the detailing on the bodice, the flattering cut.  But seriously, just drink it in.
