The J.Lo Grammy Gown
In light of the readings and last week's screening I have been thinking about how I could put the readings on Sabrina and Audrey in dialogue with Maid in Manhattan and Jennifer Lopez. In preparation for tomorrow's class and discussion about Maid in Manhattan I made myself a timeline of major Jennifer Lopez texts/events. This dress definitely made my cut of main J.Lo events, and would certainly be on my list of memorable gowns (in my lifetime). This Versace dress sparked endless comments and parodies, so I am sure that many people remember it, but if you don't, you should take a look...and just imagine Puff Daddy (before he was P.Diddy) on her arm.

I agree. Not just a memorable JLo moment, but one of the most memorable dresses of the last few decades. JLo's plummeting Versace V line and Bjork's swan are the two that immediately come to mind. I'm not sure if the memorability of these dresses is linked to Bjork's cultural eccentricities and JLo "ethnic exoticism" or the fact that they were both parodied by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Perhaps both?
