Jamie Lee
Curtis, the ultimate make-under…
From fab to drab in
Christmas with the Kranks and how you can avoid it happening to you!
In our makeover madness culture, it’s almost impossible to imagine how a
woman that we’ve come to know as great looking can ever
look blah.
While the big reveal of a terrific makeover can be awe-inspiring, the
realization than anyone can look pretty darn lackluster without that
added pizzazz
called style is startling.
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!
