That dress lools like a work of origami created by a committee depicting the angst of life. Her leg makes it look like there's a human body inside.

6. Angelina Jolie ‘upset by Oscars taunts’
Wed Feb 29, 2012, 11:41 AM

Angelina Jolie was reportedly “steamed” when people joked about her exaggerated leg pose at the Oscars.

The American star wore a black velvet Atelier Versace gown to Sunday night’s ceremony. It boasted a thigh-high split up the right hand side, and Angelina posed on the red carpet seemingly doing her best to thrust out her leg for photographers.

The star continued to show off her pale and toned limb throughout the ceremony. She presented the best adapted screenplay prize and sexily posed with her leg on display, and her hand on her hip, while on the stage. Her stance drew whoops from the audience, but the winners of the prize were less impressed. The Descendants’ Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash picked up the prize, with Jim openly poking fun at the actress by mimicking her poses.

Maybe during the photography on the red carpet, but not on stage, that was bad advice, I agree.

...and to put one foot in front of the other. It all makes one look "slimmer". LOL Nothing Tyra can do about noses though. It's why I never post my own picture...

I got interrupted by a visitor. It's on here again at 9 PM. I'll pick it up then. I'm not much for awards shows or keeping up with the movie stars but that there is one funny show.

Still here. Great view, but thank god for the slit in this dress.


Left leg and I talked -- everything's cool. Next Oscars, she gets the slit.

The wonderful Marlene Dietrich was often photographed in that pose, showing off her "gorgeous gams". I think Marlene even staged an entire Las Vegas show based on it.
