[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 426936, member: 57984"] There's always something endearingly rinkydink about Joan which kind of humanizes her (whether that's her intention or not). The pretentions, ambitions -- and wardrobe -- of Alexis; she doesn't quite pull it off, yet pulls it off well enough to still be Joan Collins. As I've said before, there's something very high-school -- not even collegiate, but high-school -- drama club about Joan. And that quality probably informed Alexis herself: someone smirkily over-dressed who's supposedly just flown in from The Far East (when she'd really just disappeared into the private area in the back of her apartment in order to be alone for a few days before emerging again in a fabulous frock and an attitude and questionable references). It's just all so silly. But it's what we expect. Michael Nader once said of Joan, "She [B][I]really is [/I][/B]Norma Desmond."
