Mannix's date is too tall. The dresses are too ugly. Anyone saw that hideous green number Morgan Fairchild was wearing off the shoulder? The color was so ugly. I mean they're high fashion designers and they can't find any other dyes except the dreadful primary colors in the gaudiest tones? Fire engine red, the most atrocious shade of vomit pink, blinding blue, p*ss yellow, bright jade, bright teal, dull blue, and on and on. The only clothes that were pretty belonged to Halston. But who's gonna wear that? Even if you're on a cruise, I'm sure ladies wear shorts and T shirts (don't know, never been to one...) I mean, how many times do you go to cocktail parties that require you to dress up in sequins and huge puffy sleeves?
Let's say you are invited to one, will you buy a $6000 dress for one party? How much does dry cleaning cost for sequins? The next party you go to put it on and you realize two things: 1) it reeks from all the dry cleaning toxic fumes because you left it in the plastic bag it came in (no wire hangers!!!) and 2) You wouldn't be caught dead in it because you already wore it at the previous elitist party but there you are and you don't have another $8000 bucks to shell out on another one and then you die from the fumes, so you ARE caught dead in it, but it's too late to sue the designers.
Mannix is sporting a perm. His date is boring. Morgan Brittany's eyes are less blue than they were in Dallas but did God give them to her to spew only venom from those pupils? That's all she ever did on TV back then. (Hey! I've seen the reruns, ok??!) What else? Lauren Tewes looked really good in the face close up but her dress was hideous (black) and then I'm reminded that she was a drunk, so there goes her glamour.
I give it 6 stars because I've discovered Halston. Halston was openly gay and successful back then and not only that: his gowns were creative and pure art. If I could, I would celebrate the man by owning a couple of his dresses in mannequins in my basement, so I could admire his legacy first hand, and then I could creep out my buddies for Halloween, when I show them my basement collection. That's creepier than Halloween mannequins (werewolves, skeletons etc...)
Mannix wore a perm and you just wanted to spit in your fingertips and smooth that down for him. The show was otherwise boring but fast paced so it was almost painless except when that bro started singing at a white piano, he was breaking my ears and had to mute him. (He was no Sam! Don't play that shizz again, Sam!)
And there's a part 2?? Who knew! Folks: we have to suffer through another episode next week on MeTV. I hope Halston reappears, he was a handsome fellow and did a bit of acting here. What the heck, I'm bumping this 5 stars to 6, for only him and his dresses.
