I keep seeing images of Selma Blair and Molly Shannon from their new series Kath & Kim.  I’ve never found Selma Blair interesting, but I was excited when I heard Patricia Field was doing wardrobe for a new show — until I saw the pictures. I haven’t seen it or its British counterpart, nor do I plan to.  

I get it, they’re dysfunctional, quirky, zany, kooky, suburban, etc.  

Generally I LOVE British comedies.  But this seems like Absolutely Fabulous all over again.  I tried to like the show.  Really.  I’m sure someone will freak out when they read this.  I’ll give it another chance, though; it’s been a few years.  Maybe I was too young to “get” it.  But I remember the clothes.  I guess I can get all the skanky irony and humor of wearing such outfits.  But … I just can’t get behind this.  It’s all a little played out, and I prefer creativity over kitschy.  

P.S.  Did Kath & Kim even make it past its first episode?

Earlier today I posted some photos of Selma Blair’s from the set of her new show Kath and Kim. In today’s fashion quotable, Blair talks about her interesting costume choices:

“The character’s fashion sense is really horrific! I’m wearing a lot of bright clothes and I don’t wear anything except black and white in real life. I’m wearing orange and blue together. It’s horrible. And wedge flip-flops all the time, toe-rings, and an anklet. I have long hair, too, so I have these horrifying extensions and these long nails. It’s so embarrassing.”

Again the show looks wonderfully tacky!

This Moment of Unstyle is questionable because Selma Blair is in character for her new show Kath and Kim. As we know Selma Blair is one stylish lady, however these outfits are awesomely bad. Can’t wait for the show! It looks wonderfully tacky!
