FAIL.

April 17, 2008 by WendyB

Just say no to Courtney Love in an Ossie Clark dress. (I have the same style, different colors.)

    I had to check the date of that Courtney Love photo as the last time I’d seen a photo of her, she was looking very elegant.. but there, she looks like she’s back in the 90’s.

    The dress looks really beautiful on you, I would’ve personally got the red version too.

    Adorable dress… I bet you take your mascara off every night though. (a good thing!) Looks like she hasn’t taken hers off since ’91! yikes. On the other hand, outta all the celebrities in the world, I love it when she gets a little gnarly because she IS gnarly. xo

    Remember when she looked 20 years younger, like 5 years ago?

    i like the little red buttons down the dress, totally adorable (not necessarily on courtney).

    Yeah, that’s a fail (sadly, because I love Courtney). I think she’s still figuring out her style like the best of us.

    just say No to courtney love in general. she stepped on kate moss’s dress and that my friend’s is unforgivable.
    never mind that whole doing heroin while pregnant thing.

    That bitch stole your dress. Off with her head! Actually, that would be a big improvement to Courtney Love, so we’d probably be doing her a favor anyways.

    Courtney with Noel Fielding equals one giant WTF

    Oh, dear! That really didn’t work for her.

    i so thought of you the minute i saw the photos of courtney rocking the ossie. eek gaads!

    Oh HELL YES on the fail. U.E. screeched in her cubicle and called me over to gawk the second she saw it.

  18. Isabel says

    April 18, 2008 at 4:05 pm

    I say yes to Courtney Love in everything!

  19. Isabel says

    April 18, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    Oh, and to clarify things, she didn’t do heroin when she KNEW she was pregnant. She did heroin while she was pregnant, but before she KNEW. So, umm, suck on that.

    I like your red version better.

    Isabel, you are right about the heroin story. I almost commented on that earlier but didn’t have the energy. I used to be a big fan of Courtney’s and still like her music, but she’s a hot mess with the plastic surgery and the MySpace drug ramblings aren’t really cute anymore. At some point, you have to grow up a tad.

    …Is that Noel Fielding? If it is, I’m going to feel weird about it, hopefully they are not dating – Noel’s like sequins and stars, Courtney Love’s more like the gum you find stuck to your shoe.
