Yay or Nay? Sarah Siddons
Mary Boteler wow most with her look over overflowing ribbons and bows, earning her a Yay. This week we have another hat in a very theatrical selection.
Thomas Beach paints Sarah Siddons (1786) in theatrical dress for the character of Lady MacBeth. Yay or Nay?

Lady MacBeth wore a HAT? I think that is simply a dark quite evil halo, my dears. Um, I vote Nay.
Well, apart from the fact that it looks as if she has a bunch of baked potatoes attached to her head and her hat harks back to Boy George in his heyday, I like her outfit. But that is because I am a sucker for lace of any persuasion. But it's still not enough. The overwrought pose suggests major scenery chewing was the norm then so the overall effect is just silly. Sorry, a Nay from me.
Like the dress, but it's not enough. I hate the hair and the hat. Nay.

Yay! Nice change after last week's hideous bow explosion. A smart outfit for career advancement, although the wig should have been rethought.
In this case...Nay. Costume or not. Just...nay.
Yay for the dress...except for her hair. I agree with cherylynn who compairs her hair to Potatos because that's kinda true =/
Oh Retro you made me laugh -- Lady Macbeth goes in the dead of night to do murder -- in a hat and sausage-curled wig? Even as an outfit for dinner the next day NAY NAY NAY.
Her hair reminds me of horse poop and her dress looks a bit unwashed.
It would have been a yay as the clothes and expression are very Lady Macbeth-esque, but the hat ruins it all. NAY.
NAY. Why? Well, people above said all it already. Her hair is ridiculous.
yay, for the Scottish play!!
I thought that hair was sausage rolls.
Not feeling this one.
Nay, I'm speechless.
