Love It or Leave It: Mary-Louise Parker’s Awful Dress

A photo of Mary-Louise Parker

OK, YOU GOT ME. Because while the dress that Mary-Louise Parker is wearing here is pretty awful, it’s not really all that remarkable. Usually when I ask you guys to love or leave something, I think it’s unbelievably awesome or that it should be burned in a fire immediately, but this dress doesn’t fall into either of those categories. No, it’s just simply not all that cute.

But you guys. No, listen, you guys. We have to talk about Mary-Louise Parker.

I’ve always thought she was wonderful – have you seen Angels in America? If not, please set aside six hours this weekend to watch it, and then an additional two hours to cry it all out and realize all the ways that it’s changed your life – but now I have a full-fledged crush. Hard. See, I started watching Weeds just a couple of weeks ago (I know, I know), and it’s amazing. I love it so much. It’s just such a great show, and Justin Kirk is there too, and it’s a very happy place for me right now. And Mary-Louise Parker is just so good, and so, so very pretty.

Here’s the space where I wrote a 600 word paragraph about how beautiful her eyes are and how I could stare into them for decades, but I deleted it because I didn’t want to creep anyone out.

So yeah, Mary-Louise Parker, huh? Are you guys into it, or should I save any future discussion of her for my Myspace blog?

  • It makes her look like she has three boobs. Or maybe just one boob. Either way, an odd number of boobs.

  • I was pleasantly surprised to see her on here and I hope you keep her around

    I have a MASSIVE lady boner for her

  • That dress would be fine if not for the weird eye-twisting olive blob in the center. The dress has this really odd wrap-over in the center that is a bad color.

    And you can see her right nipple. I have no idea who MLP is, but that pushes her up a notch.

    (Note: said nip is left side of picture in the center of the brown patch. I thought it was an anomaly of that weird cloth until I blew it up to look at the blob.)

  • If you love MLP, then set aside a couple of hours to see “Fried Green Tomatoes.” And also set aside a couple of boxes of Kleenex. It’s a triple tear jerker, but really, really unforgettably good.

    She’s wonderful, but I do warn you that as amazing as Weeds is for the first say, about 4 seasons, it starts to derail and go pretty much over the top after that (disappointingly so). By season 7, you’re not sure why you’re watching it anymore. It loses a lot of its giddy, vibrant, uber-quirky momentum. That being said, I still couldn’t stop watching it. And am even on to
    Season 8 now.

    By the way, that outfit in the picture is very Nancy Botwin.

  • My first thought upon seeing the title/photo of this post was “Oh no! Not Mary-Louise Parker!” Then a huge sigh of relief.

    Even though that dress would be a hot mess on anyone else, she looks gorgeous in it.

    Also, product placement totally worked on me after a Weeds marathon. Drinking Diet Coke ALL the time now…

  • Mary-Louise can say/vonvey so much more with Her eyes and facial expressions, that most Actors can manage to do with a full-legth scrpt!!!
