I feel pretty, oh so pretty

I've just rewatched Some Like It Red and you know, crossdressing is really not one of my kinks. Well, it isn't. It's not. Stop laughing!

Seriously though, I'm mostly just fascinated because there are a few moments when he bats his eyelashes or smiles in a certain way or tilts his head just so that make me think: Woah. Not bad.

Right. I'll get to the interesting part now. Fraser in drag. A...study in caps.







































I can't imagine what you'd do with them, but: Want, take, have.

If I could just get past the atrocious wig... that might help a little bit. I'll go with [livejournal.com profile] eversecondtues on number eleven. The earrings are a bit easier to ignore than the wig, and without the wig his face isn't as 'masculine' seeming. Strangely.

Pretty eyebrows there.

Yes! That's it exactly. He seems more boyish. Well, or feminine.

Couldn't they afford a nice wig? *sighs*

Perhaps the word you are searching for is androgynous? :P

The wig maximises his jawline, lowers his forehead even more and ... yeah. He needs to accentuate his eyes, his mouth and the fact that he does have a delicate bone structure.

Ha! See me give advice on how Frasier should become a drag queen. :P

Stooopid wig depts.

Me just waked up. Stop using the big words!

Yes, okay, androgynous. ;)
This is TV! Shouldn't they have authentic ones?

Do the big words hurt? *pets*

'Girly'

Is that better?

Uh, you do remember how long it took for them to find a decent wig for Rachel Luttrell don't you? And she wears it all the time. For a one off, male I think the rule is 'whatever will fit you big head doofus'.

You don't watch SG-1, do you? A whole history of finding the most atrocious wigs imaginable.

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-26 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
Nope and oh dear God. I can only imagine...

Hey, you were the one who decided to all snarky about tv and wigs. :P

Hi! Here via bluebrocade. I'd always assumed that their utter failure to make him pass (padded shoulders? wtf?) was deliberate. So of course they picked a wig that was all wrong.

That was what I was thinking, too, but then I thought it wouldn't really make sense because well, in the episode it's crucial that he passes as a woman. (Even though it's Due South. I'd totally forgotten how silly that show could be!) I'm guessing the bangs were mostly for covering his eyebrows. Plus, the make-up wasn't bad.

There should be a commentary or behind the scenes or something to reveal the mystery! ;)
