Kensington said...: As a leg man, I whole heartedly approve of this new trend!

And I, for one, welcome our new leggy overladies.; 2/28/12, 1:10 PM
Christopher in MA said...: Nice looking leg. Of course, I prefer mine in stockings and a closed-toe shoe, so I give this a "meh."

Which is not to say I'd refuse to inspect it were it stretched out in front of me like Mrs. Robinson.; 2/28/12, 1:11 PM
coketown said...: Chip Ahoy has spoiled me. Non-animated photoshops now seem rather pedestrian by comparison. I await his take on this phenomenon.; 2/28/12, 1:12 PM
traditionalguy said...: She only modestly showed one leg and the world has a four hour erection. Thank God she didn't show both legs like Betty Grable used to do.

When a woman chides a man to look higher, she may now mean higher than her thigh.; 2/28/12, 1:14 PM
coketown said...: She only modestly showed one leg and the world has a four hour erection.

I think her leg is so conspicuous because it's just a leg. After a ten-year parade of skanks on the red carpet, this caught everyone off guard. "Hey, zoom in past those two cooters and that field of tits. What is that thing? Is...is that a leg?"; 2/28/12, 1:26 PM
The Drill SGT said...: Long black dress
slit on the side (up the front is tacky)

nice shapely leg
what's not to like; 2/28/12, 1:28 PM
MayBee said...: I suspect her leg will be in rehab soon, along with the rest of her.

Here past problems, her emaciated body, and her determination to keep repeating the same stance just scream "I'm on something (again)".; 2/28/12, 1:33 PM
One Particular Harbor said...: It has it's own Twitter, doesn't it? Along with JLo's, er, "slip".

That was such a bizarre moment, and it diminished her mystique immensely. Stupid move on her part. Plus, she ought to be careful -- 'tis a fine line between rockin' hot body and stringy gristle, Madonna-style.

I know...meow...

She's a beautiful woman, however, and doesn't have to resort to that sort of attention-grabbing display.; 2/28/12, 1:34 PM
MayBee said...: Remember how weird she used to be? The overly intimate kisses with her brother at awards shows? The vials of her lover's blood around her neck? The talk about sex with knives? The rumors of track marks?

I think that's the Angelina who brought her leg to the Oscars.; 2/28/12, 1:35 PM
Unknown said...: Is she that attractive or just attached to Brad Pitt?; 2/28/12, 1:46 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: So you have this beautiful dress to wear to a place where you will be photographed a lot, and while you're trying it on, someone says, "Hmmm. You can't really see the slit up the side when you're not walking."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, it looks kind of plain. Is there a way you could turn your leg to make it sort of peek out?"

"I think so."

"That would be better. Then people could get the full effect of the dress."

"Like this?"

"Yes!"

And neither of you thinks of how strange that might look outside the context of your conversation.

Que sera sera.; 2/28/12, 1:49 PM
Original Mike said...: Needs stockings.; 2/28/12, 1:51 PM
Bob Ellison said...: This is why Al Gore created the Internet.; 2/28/12, 1:55 PM
Kensington said...: I'm betting she could kill a man with that leg.

Oh, and I second the call for a stocking! Not that it isn't an exceptionally delightful leg in its own right, but still.; 2/28/12, 2:04 PM
Toad Trend said...: Too skinny, I like a little more meat right there.

My wife's legs are perfect and Angelina would die for them.

So there.; 2/28/12, 2:12 PM
Larry S said...: Bony and emaciated. Not very attractive. Larry; 2/28/12, 2:18 PM
traditionalguy said...: Speaking of legs, there is an opinion among many women that men fall for slinky leg that makes them look weak

That is true among strong men seeking a child woman to love.

But a strong nordic leg of, to be frank here, many redheads has a great attraction for me.

What is not so great is the middle of the road leg.

Muscle definition is a plus in either type. Not that I would judge a woman's mind by her leg type.; 2/28/12, 2:21 PM
Toad Trend said...: traditionalguy

Sounds like you are a 'leg up' on most.

Bony legs or sausage legs (cankles!) you can have. I like the toned, curvy legs.; 2/28/12, 2:24 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Angelina Jolie is a smart lovely woman.; 2/28/12, 2:30 PM
virgil xenophon said...: Smoky black silk ("barely black" I think they used to call it)stockings w. the seam running down the back leg--now THAT's class & sex combined..; 2/28/12, 2:44 PM
Hoosier Daddy said...: "... She only modestly showed one leg and the world has a four hour erection..."

I yield to no man my love of the female form but she does nothing for me.; 2/28/12, 2:51 PM
ricpic said...: The purpose of the side slit is to simultaneously reveal and conceal. The Chinese understand. Once the leg is thrust out the mystery, and hence the erotic mystique, is shattered.; 2/28/12, 3:00 PM
Kate Danaher said...: Oh come on folks. Angelina's not bad. she's just drawn that way; 2/28/12, 3:04 PM

DADvocate said...: Pasty white. Yuk.; 2/28/12, 3:57 PM
Darrell said...: Freeman Hunt called it right. The photogs aked her to show the slit.
It makes for a far better picture and satisfies the fashion editors who would like to know more about the dress--yes, it does have a slit.

Anyone expressing outrage needs to get a life. The only person beclowning themselves is you.; 2/28/12, 5:35 PM
One Particular Harbor said...: The photographers and even the designer may have asked her to pose in such a way the slit was evident on the red carpet, but that still doesn't explain the odd pose when she was presenting. It was awkward, unnatural and blatant. Not something someone of Jolie's stature does. Designers come to her, not the other way around. It was weird, is all. Very strange. And more than a little creepy.; 2/28/12, 5:48 PM
Critter said...: this is why i come here, to cover the important stories.; 2/28/12, 5:58 PM
Christy said...: She and Brad came to the mic to present an award. They hit their mark, stopped, and she swung that leg out with attitude. The crowd laughed, she laughed, I laughed. All good.; 2/28/12, 7:26 PM
William said...: Her strangeness is part of her allure, but mostly it's her beauty that makes it work.....If you want to see strangeness gone to seed, check out the accompanying Mail article on Sean Young. She tried to crash an Oscar party and got arrested. Anywhere else in the world, she's an attractive woman, but on the red carpet she's coarse, needy and a tad overweight.....There are no moral lessons to be learned from the study of stars and their behavior. They flutter between tragedy and bathos, glamour and grotesquirie. Angelina can now do back flips on the tight rope in the center ring, but it's a fine line between her and Sean Young.; 2/28/12, 9:57 PM
Justin said...: Skeletor leg. Ew.; 2/29/12, 7:25 AM
