Out With a Bang - Part 1 of 1 - All in a Day's Work

Episode Synopsis: The boys are living in a hotel due to Turtle's whole "oops, I burned down our mansion while I was smoking weed" incident. Hey, it happens. But all is not worry-free at the House of No Consequences. Drama and Dice (ugh...please tell me we don't have to suffer him for long) stress over the test audience's reaction to Johnny's Bananas, Vinnie stresses over Billy Walsh's reaction to the movie he's written (why do I imagine that Vince writes things with a crayon in his fist, sticking his tongue out just a little?), Turtle stresses over the fact that his model/girlfriend has forgotten he exists, and E stresses over...well, Sloan. Seems he wasn't entirely over her, and when she announced she's moving cross-country immediately after one last roll in the hay, he took it pretty hard. Poor E. At least you're living in a nice hotel, right?

Let's just get this out of the way. I loathe Drama's shirt.

Why did someone make this? Was it a dare? Was it Christian Audigier? I don't know if it was, but I'm going to blame him. It's henious.

See, even E and Turtle agree with me.

Not that these two are paragons of style. I can forgive Eric for the casual T-shirt. I mean, he's just chillin' at home, enjoying his morning Joe. No need to get all gussied up for that. And, ok, I guess all of Turtle's clothes burned in the fire (including the custom Fukijama kicks Vinnie bought for him in Season 3? Ouch.) and all he could find was this Knicks jersey. How very throwback of you, Turtle. Just when I thought you'd started wearing real clothes...

So we're to assume that E got a little more dressed up as the day progressed, right? No. Wrong. What he did do was add a checked shirt. I can tell by Sloan's judgemental stance that she agrees E's gotten a little slopp-

WHOA. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH HER JEANS?

Please tell me this look isn't coming back. Baggy with French-rolled cuffs? I thought this had a brief resurgance, like, last year, and we - the fashion-buying populace - immediately squeleshed it and sent it back to the late 80s. Did it resurface in L.A.? No. No, no, no, no...a thousand times I say NAY! I won't wear this look. I refuse.

Wait, I think I said that about skinny jeans back in '07. Ok, don't quote me on any of this.

Let's take a look at her top. See, this is how my life is different than that of Sloan's. Were I to wear something like this, it would be for evening. Sloan wears it on a Tuesday afternoon.

I do like her big earrings and her bracelets (or is it one big cuff?)

She likes it too. She never takes it off!

Back to the boys. Vinnie looks casual yet (unlike E) pulled together in this reverse-stitch henley t-shirt. Sigh. He's so pretty.

And Billy has a dog.

Does anyone else think this is odd? I know he's gone all soft and zen, but I still can't see Billy Walsh owning a little terrier. And can we talk about that jacket? I'm guessing it has a story. It was dad's or grandpa's...I'm surprised Billy hasn't worked that into one of his films.

Let's move the pooch out of the way and step into some better light...

Ah, that's better. Army jacket, knit vest, and some sort of graphic t-shirt. Ok, you're still a hipster. Carry on.

Bear with me. Things are going to go south for a minute.

Do I have to recap Andrew Dice Clay? I mean...what is there to say? I enjoy inappropriate humor just as much as the next person, but I never understood the appeal of the Diceman. Anywho, I guess I'm not here to character judge. I'm here to sartorially judge. And that is so much more superficial.

So, he's dressed appropriately for his persona. Big, tough, devil-may-care. I actually like the gloves and the cuffs. In my opinion, he needs to lose the jacket, sideburns, and glasses, but he didn't ask my opinion (nor would he, me being the sort that has ovaries).

Oh and look, he's PATRIOTIC! Who knew?

Apparently not Avion Girl, who looks a little surprised. Or maybe she's surprised that her top hasn't fallen off. I mean, honestly. HOW is that thing staying on? Tape? Pins? Prayer?

"You must be this tall to be an Avion Girl."

Oh, hi Scott. You know what...I don't like you. Maybe it's the way they established your character early on, or maybe it's your used-car salesman hair. I just know you're going to stick it to Eric at some point in the season, and that makes me grimace each second you're on the screen.

Also, your outfit sucks. Learn how to dress like a real Hollywood insider.

Like this guy. Will Ari ever wear anything less than tailored perfection? I'm guessing no.

I need to take a closer look at his pocket square...are those polka-dots I spy?

Speaking of magnificent pocket squares, LLOYD! God, I love you. This outfit makes me want to clap. Bra-freaking-vo, my good man!

You, on the other hand, are no Lloyd. Go back to answering the phones.

Oh - hic! - hey Marci. How is it that you manage to always appear drunk?

I was practically mesmerized by the swaying fringe on the front of her blouse. The whole look is a bit of a 70s throwback, which makes sense, as that decade was probably the last time her life was in order. Hard to believe she and Mrs. Ari are cut from the same cloth.

Right? Fitted and tight yet appropriate for daytime. Perfect makeup. Shining hair. Sassy stance.

Actually...why was she posing like that when the elevator doors opened? I get that she's mad at Ari, but she looks like someone who had to ride the elevator with Andrew Dice Clay.

No matter. She's also got killer shoes and bag to match.

Ari, please don't screw things up with the Mrs...she's a pleasure to recap. For us? Hey, I even voted for your brother in the Chicago mayoral election! C'mon, do me a solid!
