LOST Fashion Review: Episode 5-05 – 316

Did you ever wish that you had the chance to do something over again knowing what you know now?

“Practical” was all the rage for the Oceanic Six who’ve had the chance to dress appropriately for an airplane crash onto a mysterious island this time.

Sun went for earth tones.

Hurley wore cargo pants.

Kate skipped styling her hair and wearing lip gloss.

But Jack showed up in a suit anyway.

Sayid wore his purple disco shirt just in case they should end up back in time at Studio 54.

No one mentioned any of this to Lapedis.

How soon they forgot about him. You know, the guy who flew the helicopter that got them off the island. They didn’t even think to give him a call. Ingrates.

Locke got a new pair of shoes and had a very Cinderella moment with Jack. The shoe fit, so I think they’re meant to ride off on Jack’s white horse, get married and live happily ever after in a castle now.

Ben packed his reading glasses and a nice long book.

Looks like he washed his face before he left, which makes me wonder what exactly went down that got his face all bloody but not his clothes.

The jacket in earth tones with many pockets was the must-have accessory on this ill-fated plane flight.

Fabulous!

All I have to say is that the Oceanic Six looked a heck of a lot more fashionable going back to the Island than they looked coming from it.

That, and that this:

is the worst magic trick ever.
The guy just pulled a scarf off a box and said, “This is my bunny!”
I am not impressed.

Fashion Review 5.5 – This Place is Death

Not much to discuss fashion-wise about our Losties this week. No one changed clothes. Not one of them. Closest thing we got to a wardrobe change was when Julia took off her shirt and tied it around her waist.

Why she didn’t give her shirt to Sawyer when he wanted one so badly I’m not sure. Sure, they’re nowhere near the same size but neither is Frogurt and his shirt fits Sawyer with room to spare.

Frankly, I think its good for Juliette to start looking a little more young and feminine. That man shirt really does nothing for her. She’s been looking sort of Granny Clampett lately with that gun.

Yes, yes. That’s exactly who they remind me of.

If Juliette is Granny Clampett, Sawyer is clearly Jethro, Locke is Jed… Does that make Charlotte Ellie Mae? or maybe Miles.

The blood stain on Daniel’s shirt has spread out. Probably from when they got caught in the rain storm. Blood can be really hard to get out. I wonder if any of the people on the plane were traveling with OxyClean. Or maybe a Tide pen. I never go anywhere without a Tide pen.

The only other thing worthy of discussion this week is that star on the back of Jin’s shirt, which everyone but me saw, probably because I don’t have an HDTV.

This is what it looked like to me:

The red star is a symbol of Communism. Perhaps it’s a political statement. But more likely I suspect Daniel Dae Kim had a little friend visiting him on the set who was playing around with office supplies very literally behind his back and no one noticed till it was three foot wide on the LOST fans HDTVs.

I hope someone wears something new next week.

Fashion Review: Episode 5-4 – The Little Prince

Hi Big-O, Dawn here with this episode’s fashion review…

If you think it’s hard keeping track of who’s where when on this show, try keeping track of who’s wearing who’s clothes.

Here’s Jack and Kate on ‘Is-Penny’s-Boat’ post rescue after they’ve presumably had a shower. Kate, wearing what seems to be men’s clothes and Jack wearing a gauzy white shirt which doesn’t seem uptight enough for him.  Looks like Aaron got a fresh blankie maybe but still no clothes for the little guy till they become the Oceanic Six.

Don’t feel sorry for him. Babies don’t care if they wear clothes or not and soon enough he’s living in LA with a plenty big wardrobe paid for by the settlement I’m sure.

But that doesn’t stop Kate from borrowing other people’s clothes.

She looks fab in Sun’s business suit. In fact she looks too good in it. She’s the exact same size as Sun, who you’d think was having her clothes custom fitted now that she’s a big wig of a huge corporation.

Sawyer’s become quite comfy in Frogurt’s time travel shirt, which he’s sweated all down the back and the front of. I hate to see what the armpits look like. I’m just glad I’m not watching “smellovision”. I’m thinking all our island friends are pretty rank about now.

Hurley borrowed his outfit from The L.A. County Lockup.


Sayid’s taking his business casual look a little too literally.

Claire’s mom has straightened her hair, and yet Jack and Kate were able to see her well enough to know who she was from the parking lot after meeting her once when she looked totally different.

While Sawyer was off watching Aaron be born, Juliet was putting her hair up in a bun. An industrial strength bun that can survive torrential downpour. Pretty impressive considering she had no ponytail holders or bobby pins that we know of. Maybe she carries them in her back pocket.

Jin’s got a little bit of a tan.

Our new French friends look a little more ‘New Kids on the Block’ than 16 yrs ago…. wait a minute.. New Kids on the Block was 16 yrs ago… ok the clothes are right.. they should be 1988. Those people who speculated that the clothes they were wearing were of the wrong period probably just tried really hard to forget what 1988 looked like.

Which brings us to Danielle Rousseau who was very beautiful in 1988 and also very pregnant.

I wonder who’s clothes she’s wearing.

Back to you Big-O!

The LOST Fashion Review 4-12 There’s No Place Like Home (Part 1)

Hi! It’s DawnOwar, your LOST Fashion Correspondent for CrankyFanatic.com.

The question of the week is “Who dressed the Oceanic Six?”

They needed to fire the stylist for that press conference! Just look at Jack in the worst cheap looking khaki blazer!

Well it is a better look than the blood soaked appendix shirt he’s wearing on the island. That guy certainly gets around good for someone who’s just popped his stitches from the surgery he had yesterday on the wing of a plane wiped down with rags from a rusty bucket.

I think they bought the suit jackets in bulk. Full Story »

The LOST Fashion Review 4-11 Cabin Fever

Hi! It’s DawnOwar, your LOST Fashion Correspondent for CrankyFanatic.com.

This week takes us back to the 1950’s when women wore lipstick in frightening shades of red,

and pretty much everyone smoked pretty much everywhere.

It was a time when men and women had clearly defined gender roles in society, but that doesn’t stop our rebellious Richard Alpert from wearing his trademark eyeliner. Full Story »

The LOST Fashion Review 4-9 The Shape of Things to Come

Hi, I’m DawnOwar, your LOST Fashion Correspondent for CrankyFanatic.com.

Fashion is obviously very important to the Losties who always look *fabulous* no matter what harrowing circumstances they may be in.

Fashion Diva Kate opened this episode in her DIY tube top. Sometimes, when you’re sitting on the beach in your jeans in the hot sun, tank top straps are just too much to bear.

Also new for her this week is the headband made of something that looks like weeds. Obviously nothing more than a fashion statement as it doesn’t actually keep her hair out of her face at all.

The boys in Otherville have access to plumbing, washing machines, hair dryers, etc. so their clothes are all looking their best these days. Hurley’s clearly using hair product, and Sawyer’s been ironing his shirts. Even Locke is wearing a nice clean shirt, and he’s always the last one to change. Ben’s been shaving, so there’s no shortage of razors…
