Drawing the Line at Courtney Love’s Nipples

by

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.

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?

  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  6. 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

  8. courtney love: neither courtly nor lovely. discuss.

    p.s. wendyB: loving that my anti-spam word is “bellini.” i see a champagne cocktail in my future!

  10. 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 🙁

  12. 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.

  13. 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…)

  21. 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…

  29. 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. 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.

  33. 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.
