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.
ReplyDeleteWell, 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.
ReplyDeleteLike 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.
ReplyDeleteIn this case...Nay. Costume or not. Just...nay.
ReplyDeleteYay for the dress...except for her hair. I agree with cherylynn who compairs her hair to Potatos because that's kinda true =/
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteHer hair reminds me of horse poop and her dress looks a bit unwashed.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteyay, for the Scottish play!!
ReplyDeleteI thought that hair was sausage rolls.
ReplyDeleteNot feeling this one.
Nay, I'm speechless.
