Jamie Lee Curtis totally nails the frumpy suburban "anywoman" as her character Nora Krank in Revolution Studios’ comedy Christmas With The Kranks, a Columbia Pictures release.
In the movie, Jamie Lee cranks down the volume of her personal style to inaudible for her metamorphosis into something of The Frumpalator, a boring looking, middle-aged woman with sub-zero fashion sense.
What does it take to look so humdrum? Really, it’s not anything so uncommon, just a bad bob that does nothing for her features, dull hair color, some dorky turtleneck in an infantile holiday pattern, and the pièce de résistance of a droopy 3-D motif vest.
The message is clear, cruddy hair and ill-fitting, styleless clothing are a guaranteed way to descend from extraordinary to ordinary in a flash.
Now, if Nora’s look is a little too close for comfort, it’s high time to start looking modern. Get a hairstyle with some layers to flatter your face. Add a few highlights to brighten your complexion. Burn the dowdy duds-- particularly the ones with juvenile patterns-- and find some stylish essentials that fit your figure. Who knows, you may wind up looking years younger!
