Drawing the Line at Courtney Love’s Nipples

March 9, 2011 by WendyB

My personal motto is Wear What You Want, but there are exceptions to every rule.  Hillary Clinton’s hair clip was one exception. Here’s another, courtesy of Courtney Love, who nipped out to a party in a dress that was apparently designed by the same guys who made the emperor’s new clothes.

From What Courtney Wore Today. Click for source.

At first, I thought Courtney had fallen victim to one of those evil dresses that seem opaque to the naked eye, only to become transparent in a camera’s flash. Then I realized that the pictures were posted on her own outfit blog, so they presumably have her stamp of approval, though she doesn’t do her own posting. Here are more photos. Is that a stain I see near her thigh? What color is this dress, anyway? It looks like “formerly white gym sock.”  More importantly, why didn’t she order a fabulous custom-made nipple ring from me? That would have saved this look, don’t you think?

    I’m glad her cherries are the only things we can see… unless, of course, she’s also bare down there… *shivers*

    How did she go from looking great in her video for “Gold Dust Woman” to that up there?

    It looks like some sort of sport jersey material and it looks like she is totally nude under it. She is showing way more than she needs to be to the world.

    Ahhh Courtney…this is lacking class.

    Judicious deployment of underwear is the only thing that would have saved this look. She appears to need a bath and a scrub with carbolic acid.

    Gorgeous woman but it all goes wrong from the throat downwards. That dress does look stained and what on earth’s it made fro, microfibre? Yuk! xxx

    Wait! A custom nipple ring? Why didn’t I thought of that before? Anyways, back to the topic, I also disliek this dress, a bra would help a lot here. Or, if all else fails, how about Photoshopping it before posting? Maybe she wanted to show off her hot bew body, but hey… It’s kind of sad 🙁

    The only positive I can derive from this is that she seems to have got rid of her hideous square breast implants. Unless that’s the dress making them look better, in which case…the dress ain’t so bad. Although it really is. Really hideous. Ugh.

    Ew. Ew. Ew. I can handle nipples. No worries. But that strange stain is. not. good. I don’t like to think about what it could be. That’s the true crime here. Clean clothing isn’t too high a standard to impose on myself, is it??

    (My anti-spam word is pixie. Perfect for my hair…)

    Yikes. Looks like she was wearing her nightgown to scrub the toilet when that picture was taken….

  15. Smashingbird says

    It also looks like she has a nasty stain on the skirt, kinda manky!

    I think her boobs are loking pretty good actually. If I can still go out without support at her age I’ll be happy!

    Eww!!! I couldn’t take my eyes off that nasty stain by her crotch area….double EWWWW!!!!!!!!

    yuk, she looks awful.I think some beautiful underwear would be a big improvement. My anti spam word ‘summer’ perhaps it is not so far away!

    omg she looks terrible..

    thank you so much for your lovely comments <3

    March 9, 2011 at 1:12 pm

    Oy! That is not what I want to see from Ms Love! That is too much Love! But now I am curious if you can see her buttcrack from the back…

  22. Susan Tiner says

    March 9, 2011 at 3:05 pm

    She would look better if she wore nothing at all.

    Do you really make custom nipple rings?

    • WendyB says

      March 9, 2011 at 3:33 pm

      I’ll make whatever you want, as long as it’s legal!

  23. Katie says

    March 9, 2011 at 3:20 pm

    I am on the “no need to see Courtney Loves nip slip” train.

  24. Emma at Daily Clothes Fix says

    I am torn between respect for her for wearing what she wants and horror at how bad this look is. The stain pushes it in the realms of shudder.

    “Formerly white gym sock” HAAHAAHAAAA!!!!! 😀

    I don’t believe you need to show the world the color of your lady parts. Ick.

  28. jentine says

    March 9, 2011 at 9:53 pm

    Yeah… I need to stop closely inspecting that picture to grasp the level of sheerness…

  29. districtofchic says

    March 9, 2011 at 11:49 pm

    She’s like, so grunge, 4eva. I recognizer her importance to the 90s ‘n all, but she kind of needs to be institutionalized. Don’t even get me started about what’s possibly going on waist-down.

  30. patni says

    I uphold the right of any one to wear what they want ™, but also uphold my own right to turn away where warranted ™.

    This one is interesting though. It looks as you say like an oft laundered sock, is see through and terrible stains, which all make sense if Courtney is back on the crack, but in this picture here lipstick is perfect, her make up “done” and her hair looks like there was some intention behind it. I think perhaps Charlie Sheen should see her stylist.

  31. Audrey Allure says

    March 10, 2011 at 9:09 am

    Haha, that dress is so unfortunate.

  32. Tor (fabfrocks) says

    March 10, 2011 at 10:53 am

    That woman is the hot mess! I don’t even think a (no doubt very tasteful!) nipple ring could save her now! 😉

  33. Lorena says

    March 10, 2011 at 2:02 pm

    Yikes… it looks like one nipple is looking up and the other down.
    I agree she does look like she is wearing a thinned out tube sock with a stain.
    Bad. Bad.

  34. Miss Janey says

    March 10, 2011 at 4:38 pm

    Is there a person in the world who wants to see this much of Courtney Love anymore?

  35. Lexie says

    March 10, 2011 at 5:33 pm

    we can always count on courtney to be a little on the crazy side!

  36. joann, sidewalk chic says

    March 10, 2011 at 5:36 pm

    Oh wow. I kind of love that she has a devil-may-care look on her face, though.

    It definitely looks like some kind of sports jersey material.

  37. Julie Anne Rhodes says

    March 13, 2011 at 12:26 am

    Mmmmmm, maybe. Would your nipple ring also hike those nipples back up where they belong?

      BWAH!
