Please read VKMfan :D
Ok so I still must argue on this picture! LOL! You couldn't see it too well in the clip where she sings, but it IS the same one! Please give your opinions, and that will be the new poll.

Well, it IS an interesting issue... and obviously a GREAT topic to be doing an 'in-depth study' on! :-P
ReplyDeleteOf course, I went thru the 'comparison and contrast' stuff back over in the '...Alrighty' post you did a few weeks ago... and, of course, being the 'stickler' that I am, STILL am leaning towards 'different dresses'... after looking at those two above, another 'difference' between the two is the...er, 'collar', for lack of a better description... The top photo has more of a pure 'V' neckline, while the bottom photo seems to have more of a 'oval-ish' neckline - look around the shoulders... now, it could just be she has her arms stretched out on one and not the other, but it seems to have a different cut... as if I know ANYTHING about dress design... I guess the overall 'issue' is that I KNOW there was a 'deleted scene' from Gold Diggers where she was singing in a dress that looked EXACTLY like the one on the bottom, since I have quite a few pics of it, including the sheet music... now yes, it might be a 'generic' picture on the sheet music, but not in this case...too many other pics of the 'deleted' GoldDiggers scene showing the dress.
OK - wowzers...debate class is in session, no? well, having said all that, the dresses REALLY do favor... and again, it may be they just took the GoldDiggers dress and 'revamped' it for 'Rio'... That is probably the case.
Thanks for letting me play Devil's Advocate, Anna! And PLEASE don't think I am trying to 'prove' anything... I think for the interest of all Gingerologists, this stuff needs to be sorted out, no matter HOW 'trivial'... right? :-)
Sincerely,
VKMfan

Hahah I hope YOU Don't think I'm making a big deal about it, I just wanted too see what everyone thought :D But you know you might be right, I mean too me it looks the same, but they miht have just used the same dress and done a few alterations! Because the design is the same maybe the embroidery isn't but oh well :D
ReplyDeletereally? Could you tell me the song? Cause the last time I watched Gold Diggers was...oh a long time ago! So i don't remember it THAT well. I'm pretty sure your right now though, so yeah they do reuse comstumes a lot.
Hahaha thanks for commenting! yeah I think it is :D Hehe
Well, the song is, "I've Got to Sing a Torch Song"... it was to have Ginger singing solo, with a white grand piano, which she sat upon - there are quite a few pics of her on it... and of course, she is wearing the 'dress'! For some reason, they cut the tune out... most likely, Berkley wanted more time for the 'big production tunes'...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I picked up the sheet music to it on eBay a few months ago...my wife can play it - I plan to tape her playing it, and post it on the site somewhere... it sounds pretty neat. don't worry, I won't attempt to sing it! :-P
...wonder what SassyGinger thinks about this topic? She's pretty shy, so I doubt if she will post anything on here...(in other words, I'm calling out SG on this one!)
Keep It Gingery!

Oh I see! Well cool :D I would have loved too see it! too bad they cut it out :( But yeah I'm pretty sure they used the same costume with a few alterations. For example the embroidery. Well anywasy, thanks for the comment! It's great too see what people think! Now i just have to see what my next polls gonna be about....lol Hahahah I wouldn't mind if you sang it! Hehehe
ReplyDeleteYes me too! I wonder why she didn't comment, she should have :D
at first I thought that the dresses were different in a couple minor ways. the top picture seemed to have a very slightly higher neckline than the bottom one. also the bottom seemed to have many sequins and although different lighting may affect the appearance, the top seemed to have a more lacy look to the fabric. But I searched around for some more pics of the dresses out of my own curiosity and i found one that VKMfan mentioned about ginger on the piano (i believe i found the correct one...)

and she is clearly wearing the bottom dress. I had difficulties finding a picture of the top dress, but I did found what I believe is a fan made image that shows the dress well http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3373/3430588445_e1bc5a214b.jpg
so that changed my opinion and I now believe that they are the same dress. I think the lighting plays tricks with the mind..
Yeah I see it now. They are very similar though, and I should have looked more closely! hehe but nonetheless she looks great in both :D
ReplyDelete...well, it is pretty hard to get 'clear' views of each scene...and especially the one that was never 'released' from GoldDiggers... but yeah, I think y'all have convinced me it is the same dress, just maybe 'altered' a bit for whatever reason...
ReplyDelete...and yes, she is HAWT in it, whatever the role! :-P

Yup, I agree its from GoldDiggers. And now that we've got that issue resolved I would like you to draw your attention back to the piano pic and to her foot of the leg that is crossed. What am I seeing its either a sock like the girls wore with their dance shoes (although that would be an interesting look with that dress) or is her foot wrapped like an injury because I don't see it on the other foot! Wow, this group can find ANYTHING to talk about can't we?
