The Fug Girls Rate the True Blood Characters’ Fashion Sense

Sookie
Her backstory: As if she didn’t have enough to do — being the possessor of magical blood, and the beloved of nearly every supernatural man-creature within thirty miles – Sookie also sometimes has to, gasp, wait tables.
Her look: Somebody obviously once told Sookie that hot weather equals hot pants. In fact, she bravely battles the Bon Temps humidity by almost always refusing anything with sleeves or pants. She also owns a covetable, endless collection of skimpy sundresses, the better to drape tantalizingly off her heaving bosom.
Her score: 5. A girl cannot live on tiny frocks and booty shorts alone. We suggest Sookie Netflix the middle seasons of Buffy to learn how to incorporate more vampire-friendly separates into her wardrobe.

True Blood Fashion : Southern Belle – Sookie Stackhouse

Okay, I know I am way way way way WAY behind schedule on TV series watching, but that’s only because I do NOT have Astro! Yes, it’s shocking I know! Not many people don’t have Astro. And another fact is that I don’t really watch TV. :) I do enjoy TV series and movies of course, but with movies you can watch it in the cinema, or get a DVD but with TV series, I usually have to wait for a decent copy before being able to watch it. Plus, I hate suspense! I can’t take it!     I don’t like waiting for 1 episode after another, I personally prefer marathons! :) Or at least TV & Movie marathons. The outdoors kind, not so much ya. :)

So enough babbling, here are we gonna talk about my current favourite TV series, True Blood! For those of you who haven’t seen, it’s basically a story about this girl Sookie Stackhouse and her boyfriend who is a vampire and basically all the fun supernatural things la! Watching the show, I cannot help but notice how Sookie always seem to have the most adorable outfits on! I love all her clothes! So here’s just a short idea on getting Sookie Stackhouse’s Southern Belle look!

True Blood's Vamps Wear Footwear From Neiman Marcus . . . and Goodwill

True Blood fans know that the style is succulent — especially The Queen's — and the footwear is no exception. Costume designer Audrey Fisher goes through great trouble hunting down those hot heels featured in the show. "I shop everywhere for our show, from Goodwill to Neiman Marcus," she said. So how much power do those vampire shoes have? "I became so obsessed with getting Pam the perfect hot shoe for her [ladylike] and vampy costumes that they started putting her fabulous footwear into the script, and her shoes started getting cameos."
Other favorite brands of Fisher's are Giuseppe Zanotti, Aldo, Bebe, Steve Madden, Pour La Victoire, Jeffrey Campbell, John Varvatos, and Target.

True Blood’ Costumer Shares Items Characters Can’t Live Without

Sookie’s Daisy Duke shorts. Lafayette’s do-rags. Jason’s 501’s and Frye boots. Thanks to the subtle work of ‘True Blood‘ costumer Audrey Fisher (’That 70’s Show,’ ‘Milk‘), these pieces have become synonymous with the characters who don them, expressing a visual mood often more powerful than the words uttered by the stars themselves.
To conjure up the sexy stickiness of the show’s Louisiana bayou setting, Fisher says her style guideline is simple: “I try to show as much skin as possible.
“We try to create a sense of heat with the costumes by making them skimpier and keeping it very light-weight. That’s always a goal: to think hot, hot.”

How to dress like Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood !

What a great post !

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m super-psyched for Season 3 of the HBO series True Blood. (The many emails we’ve received requesting an article on the show makes me think you probably are, too!) The show always keeps me on the edge of my seat and has something for everyone– action, romance, comedy and of course, plenty of vampires!

For those who are unfamiliar with the premise of the show, it goes like this: vampires have made their existence known to humans worldwide. The series centers on the town of Bon Temps, Louisiana and Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with telepathic powers.

Even though she’s a small town girl, Sookie (played by Anna Paquin) has an enviable wardrobe for every occasion– whether she’s serving drinks at Merlotte’s or winning the heart of a vampire named Bill.

So to tide you over until the season premiere on June 13th, here’s how to add some Sookie Stackhouse style to your wardrobe:

True Blood-themed fashion line to launch !

Popular HBO TV show True Blood was the source of inspiration for a recent event held for Australian Fashion Week when Warner Home Video teamed up with fashion label Saint Augustine Academy on the catwalk at the OPT’s Cargo Theatre for Australian Fashion Week.

The vampire-inspired show also promoted the release of Season Two of True Blood on DVD on May 19.

“Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Home Video enjoy significant cross promotional opportunities,” said Roger Clarke, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group MD. “It made sense to have a single agency working across both divisions. We’ve got some really strong titles releasing this year, starting with True Blood Season 2.”

The gothic event saw Designer Alvin Manalo using the True Blood series as inspiration for Saint Augustine Academy’s first individual collection at fashion week with a show called ‘Crystal Ballroom’ featuring a collection of couture of black, white and a splattering of red.

The event, overseen by Sydney based agency One Green Bean is also producing a vampire themed event in Sydney’s King’s Cross tomorrow night (May 12) named after True Blood’s popular vampire nightclub Fangtasia.

Fashion & Costuming: Interview with Costume Designer Audrey Fisher

from Fashionably Marketing

This past year, I had the pleasure of working with Audrey Fisher, costume designer for HBO’s True Blood. As someone who loves fashion, I thought costuming would be closely aligned with the ever revolving door of fashion trends and style as they exist now and in the future. What I found was quite the contrary; costume design and fashion are quite different. Fashion is mask, it tells the story that it’s creator want to tell the world, while costume design goes below the surface to tell an inner story.

Audrey, how did you become a costume designer? What was your inspiration or the force that drove the passion?

From a very young age, I was always making costumes for myself, my friends, and my family. My path to costume design, however, was roundabout. In college, I had actually started toward a career in the literary department of theater studies, but in my extremely academic graduate program I found I was still making costumes in my spare time. It was all connected: I was interested in the way costumes could tell stories. Based on some hats I was making for an art class, a director asked me to design the costumes for her production of Medea at a downtown theater. That’s when costumes became my professional passion, with that first off-off-off-broadway show.

Inspired by: True Blood

from Awkward Chic blog

I finally got Maud addicted to True Blood. I'm telling you, it took about 6 months of convincing for that to happen, but she got conned into it on my birthday and now she's hooked. So I'm sure she won't mind me doing another post about True Blood. Season 2 just started about 6 weeks ago, and there are a whole new bunch of hair, makeup, and wardrobe ensembles that I'm dying to try. I rounded up a few of my favorites for you guys.

I'm not really feeling the dress here (it's bandana print?!), but I'm in love with the hair! It reminds of that stiff, Grace Kelly inspired swoop that Kate Winslet did for the Oscars, but I love it so much more here. I think the softness of the curls at the bottom balances out the structure at the crown perfectly, and the flowers pinning back the side are just too cute. The red lip keeps it a little retro, but the dramatic liner stops it from looking costumey.

True Blood and Sam's 'Boggy Bayou Mullet ' tshirt

Thanks so much to Lisa W

I have written about past True Blood t-shirts here

In S2 Episode #3 Scratch My Back, Sam is wearing a t-shirt that says "Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival" - That is a real festival held in Niceville, FL all based around a brackish water fish called a "mullet". It's not about the haircut. That's a real shirt -- I lived in that area for nearly 40 Years (now in Colorado).

Here's a link to the festival web site:

Spooky chic :Vampire mania is taking the fashion scene by storm

THE symptoms are unnerving: a taste for fresh meat — rare, if you please; an aversion to sunlight; and a passion for spectral-looking, fine-boned rakes. All are indications that the sufferer has been bitten by the vampire bug.

Sookie Stackhouse, the feisty young heroine of HBO’s True Blood, risks doom whenever she visits with her otherworldly beau. And Oskar, the adolescent misfit of the Swedish art film Let the Right One In, a favourite in fashion circles, courts extinction each time he ventures out with Eli, the eerily ageless shape-shifter he befriends.

Sookie and Oskar are in the throes of vampire lust, a pop-culture contagion being spread via television, films and fiction. What began with the Twilight Saga, the luridly romantic young-adult series by Stephenie Meyer, followed by Twilight, the movie, has become a pandemic of unholy proportions.

Is it a wonder?
Rarely have monsters looked so sultry — or so camera-ready. No small part of this latest vampire mania seems to stem from the ethereal cool and youthful sexiness with which the demons are portrayed. Bela Lugosi they are not.

Eric Northman some of our favorite book outfits ...

Just thought you needed some fun ;-)

Navy Blue Silk Boxers
Bk3 Club Dead
The next thing I knew, I was awake. I was tucked in the bed, lying on my back, my formerly beautiful dress removed. I was still wearing my beige lace underwear, which was good.
Eric was in the bed with
me, which was not. He was really making a habit of this. He was lying on his side, his arm draped over me, one leg thrown over mine. His hair was tangled with my hair, and the strands were almost indistinguishable, the color was so similar. I contemplated that for a while, in a sort of misty, drifting state.
Eric was having downtime. He was in that absolutely immobile state into which vampires retreat when they have nothing else to do. It refreshes them, I think, reduces the wear and tear of the world that ceaselessly passes them by, year after year, full of war and famine and inventions that they must learn how to master, changing mores and conventions and styles that they must adopt in order to fit in. I pulled down the covers to check out my side. I was still in pain, but it was greatly reduced. There was a large circle of scar tissue on the site of the wound. It was hot and shiny and red and somehow glossy.
"It's much better," Eric said, and I gasped. I hadn't felt him rouse from his suspended animation.
Eric was wearing silk boxers. I would have figured him for a Jockey man.
"Thank you, Eric." I didn't care for how shaky I sounded, but an obligation is an obligation.
"For what?" His hand gently stroked my stomach.
"For standing by me in the club. For coming here with me. For not leaving me alone with all these people."
"How grateful are you?" he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine.
"That kind of ruins it, when you say something like that," I said, trying to keep my voice gentle. "You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just because I owe you."
"I don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it," he said, equally gently. His mouth was on mine then.

Red bikini underwear
Bk 4 dead to the World
With not a hint of a leer or any other indication that he was enjoying this development, Eric shimmied out of the jeans. I tossed them onto the back porch to wash in the morning, trying not to gape at my guest, who was now clad in underwear that was definitely over-the-top, a bright red bikini style whose stretchy quality was definitely being tested. Okay, another big surprise. I'd seen Eric's underwear only once before-which was once more than I ought to have-and he'd been a silk boxers guy. Did men change styles like that?
Without preening, and without comment, the vampire rewrapped his white body in the afghan. Hmmm. I was now convinced he wasn't himself, as no other evidence could have convinced me. Eric was way over six feet of pure magnificence (if a marble white magnificence), and he well knew it.


Black Silk Pajama bottoms
Bk 7 All Together Dead
I slapped him harder than I've ever hit anyone in my life. I screamed, "Get up!" until my voice would hardly work. Finally Eric stirred and managed to sit up. He was wearing black silk pajama bottoms, thank God, and I spied the ceremonial black cloak tossed over his coffin. He hadn't returned it to Quinn, which was huge luck. I arranged it over him and fastened it at the neck. I pulled the hood over his face. "Cover your head!" I yelled, and I
heard a burst of noise above my head: shattering glass, followed by shrieks.

Sink your teeth into a 'True Blood' fashion

from Times Picayune

When I think of HBO's "True Blood," fashion isn't the first thing that comes to mind. North Louisiana vampires aren't exactly into cutting-edge couture.

The show's wardrobing department does a brilliant job of capturing small-town style in all its skimpy, skanky glory.

Main character Sookie is a veritable Daisy Duke for the undead. Her scoop necks and short shorts provide easy access to crucial arteries.

Brooding vampire Bill is a fan of henleys. Shapeshifter Sam keeps it real in tight wranglers and snap-front plaid.

And then there's Eric. The Viking vampire sheriff, we learned on Sunday, highlights his hair. In a sneak-preview clip, he also sports what appears to be a velour warm-up suit while shopping in Wal-Mart.

And yet, Eric, played by Alexander Skarsgard, apparently does have an eye for edgy jewelry. In a future episode he sports an eagle-talon necklace by New York designer Pamela Love.

So where does Sookie shop?

from Off the rack blog

Only a few days left to go before the new season of “True Blood” begins. Can’t wait. Can’t wait. Can’t wait.

Meantime, NPR has provided me an excuse to mention the HBO show on this shopping blog. Anna Paquin (who plays Sookie Stackhouse) was on “Fresh Air” Wednesday and host Terry Gross asked her about her costumes.

“My main … Sookie shorts, my waitress shorts from last season .. were off the rack Old Navy and the T-shirt was just American Apparel …,” Paquin told Gross.

“One of the things we do try to do in the costume fittings … is not shopping too far outside of the budget of the actual character,” she continued. “So the fact that we have Sookie in a lot of stuff that is from Target or Old Navy or sort of similarly not-high-end stores, I think is really appropriate because she obviously wouldn’t be able to afford some really snazzy designer something-or-other with her lifestyle and with her salary.”
