Members SweetPea36 Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 She should probably learn to stand with her butt tucked in, rather than sticking it out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DynamiteKiddo Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think that everyone on OLTL actually totally dressed character-appropriate. The only disaster was Bree Williamson's Jess toward the end, but she had a handful of pieces over the years that really were definitively everything you'd expect from Jessica Buchanan. Even if you didn't like what someone was wearing on OLTL, I'd dare to say it was hard to argue that wasn't how that character would dress. But the wardrobe on GH lately has been a trainwreck. And Kelly Sullivan is the worst offender. I think the styles for Carly have always been all over the place and have super varied for the different actresses. As much as I never wanted to see this, the only super 'Carly' things I've seen Laura's Carly wear were those stupid sleeveless tops where the neckline literally went down to the belly button, LOL. A few years ago, I thought wardrobe was dressing Becky Herbst so 'Elizabeth' and Kelly Monaco's another one who's still always dressed exactly like I'd think Sam would dress. Alexis is Alexis is Alexis, I haven't noticed her look changing from Jill to Frank. I don't even pay attention to what Jen Lilley's Maxie is wearing because I fundamentally think that character is supposed to have shorter hair, and therefore, she looks nothing like how Maxie should look like to me (ditto for Kate). But no soap currently on air is as much of a wardrobe disaster as "Days," though IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 Why should Maxie have short hair(btw JL was thinking up cutting her again though) I don't remember RR having it and KS came on with long hair. I hated her pixie cut the bob was flattering sometimes at different lengths but I prefered ehr with shoulder length hair. And short hair is easier for them to mess up style wise.

Members DynamiteKiddo Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just speaking for myself, I think KS' short hair became a part of Maxie's external characterization. I liked RR well enough, but to be perfectly honest with you, I think of KS as the definitive Maxie. They changed her personality into a petulant, self-serving bitch, but I thought it really, really worked and that combined with her feud with Lulu really gave Maxie legs for the first time since she was transitioned from childhood. Then working for Kate did wonders for the character and I came to expect Maxie to have edgier, shorter haircuts. I think she's supposed to look like a MiniKate and I guess she does now, but not in the right way. I didn't like KS' pixie cut, but I thought it fit the aspiring fashion editor, and I don't think Maxie's hair needs to be that short, just not below shoulder length (I remember some unnecessary experiments with extensions with KS). I know it's a weird tick for me. And I'm only referring to how I think the characters should look, I'm not critiquing how I think the actors look better doing x, y, or z or whatever. BTW, I do really like JL. At first I thought she was doing a good KS imitation, but since the first few weeks, I think she's really come into her own and done great things in the role. And I'm not even a huge KS worshiper or anything (HATED her as "Days'" Belle), but she was one of those actresses who became synonymous with the character for me, so it took me a while to adjust to JL but I've since just adjusted my view of Maxie. I think it would help JL's Maxie buckets if she interacted with Lulu and Kate more--those have been two huge missing elements for me since she took over.

Members Susan Hunter Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think they dress the Carly character way too conservatively, given her background and personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 I also think Maxie should have short hair. Everyone on GH basically has Hee-Haw soap hair. Sam, Liz, Alexis, Maxie, Kate and Carly all go to the same soap style salon where the only cut on the menu is long. Maxie was the style maven, she is supposed to stand apart stylistically. Kate #1 had great hair I thought, reminiscent of the actual Anna Wintour who Kate was based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 JL looks great with long hair. I dont think she could rock the shorter styles the way KS could and its best she not try. Not all women can pull that off and while it may have been fine for KS's Maxie, I dont think it necesarily will be the case for JL. I think her hair is fine teh way it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 They rarely styled Maxie's short hair right. Her short hair never looked edgy like Kate's. The only other soap where I saw short hair styled that badly was Diane Jenkin's last year. They only styled her hair well a handful of times. I have short hair myself. What makes it stand out is the styling. And Megan Ward's cut fit her facial structure so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 My biggest gripe with GH's women's hair is the overuse of extensions and that they tend to be too long. I saw a screen shot of Carly a few weeks ago where she was wearing so much fake hair I wondered how LW could hold up her head. BH's hair looks better at its actual length, just above her shoulders. KS was always given too much extra hair and it threw off her hair style. I think the Maxie question depends on how long you've been watching GH. Robyn Richards will always be the definitive Maxie to me. She was an excellent child actress who was apparently not considered sexy enough to play Maxie when she grew up. (Too bad the same standard was not applied to the rather homely Kristin Alderson who made a far worse transition than Robyn Richards.) The BJ heart storyline is what sealed the deal for RR. Well, that and KS' ugly helium voice and the nasty personality transplant they gave Maxie when KS took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 @Sweatpea, LW does not wear extensions. In fact, she had to wait a few months to get a hair cut because they shoot out of sequence. As for Maxi, I've never been so happy to see a recast. KS and her voice bugged the hell out of me. Not sure what her draw is because there's no talent and she's severely under weight! KA is very homely and Starr should have been recast years ago, especially with a real actress!
