{post #22} a lorena krasiki picspam

[sakuraberries]

Say what you will about Lorena Krasiki, the girl knew style.  Incidentally, I really loved Lorena as a character, because she was one of the most fascinating things about True Blood (and anything that makes Bill unhappy makes me happy).  I was extremely upset when she was killed, mostly because I had been hoping we'd get flashbacks about her life with Istvan and what happened to turn a nature-loving, Austrian nun-in-training into a sadomasochistic psychopath.  Lorena's absolute devotion to Bill Compton, despite his spurning her multiple times, and their violent relationship, is one of the most disturbing things of all.  That is Lorena's tragedy, however: she is, as Bill said, the saddest, loneliest creature you could ever hope to come across.  She loves Bill deeply and she is so lonely that she would go back to a person whose first reaction upon seeing her is to set her on fire.  I don't care how good the sex is: at some point, you need to draw the line, and I believe being set on fire by your significant other is that line.  But all that and more is what makes her fascinating. 

Back to the fashion.  Seriously, bitch knows how to dress.  Everything she wears is stylish and gorgeous, and I could not help but be mesmerized by almost every single outfit Lorena Krasiki wore.  This picspam is a tribute to her as well as her amazing sense of style.  May you and your fashion sense live on long in our hearts, you demented psychopath.

The Flapper


"We could all fuck prohibition somewhat further."

The Green Gown


"I gave you everything! Everything and you've thrown it away, moaning over what you've lost. You disgust me."

The Morticia Addams Frock


"Shame I didn't turn you. Then again... you're not really my type."

The Fuchsia Nightgown


"It's true. You're in love with a human. That's so tragic, it's funny."

The Red Femme Fatale Dress


"There's no excuse for domestic violence."

The Jockey


"I'm fine. I'll heal in a minute."

The Black Lace Beauty


"You gave me your word."

The Adorned Robe


"Your only loyalty is to your own sentiment. It's your great failing."

The Sequined Shift


"Yes, Bill, your behavior is somewhat...erratic."

What do you care? You've already abandoned him.

I loved her hair and dress in that scene.

[sakuraberries]

argh, the one scene I forgot to include. damn.

[the-hyde-inside.livejournal.com]

They gave her a good weave for that dream sequence. Her hair was considerably shorter in her hotel scenes.

[mightyalrighty.livejournal.com]

lmao I was shocked this wasn't your post

[bluemeanie-1.livejournal.com]

Lorena's outfits were flawless, but oh lawd at her eyebrows in the 20s flashback.

[sakuraberries]

and the 30's. >.< I guess that was just the style back then.

this picspam is so fabulous can you post it in my community? ontd_fangtasia

[sakuraberries]

I'd love to! I just sent a membership request. :)

And thank you so much!

[jenpero.livejournal.com]

i accepted you :) No thank you for this beautiful picspam.

Think my favourite is still the green dress <333 the texture, the cut, everything.
Because of Lorena, I'm always a bit weary about Bill, you really can tell someone's true colour by how they treat their ex. XD

[sakuraberries]

Lorena's hardly the only reason I loathe Bill, but that's a really good point that I hadn't thought of before (although it's not like Lorena is just any old ex)!

[chimerari.livejournal.com]

lol yeah, you don't dump her and get away with it XD

[imaginary-iby.livejournal.com]

I was momentarily confused because of your Dany icon. I was like, was Lorena in GOT? What is happening!?

...clearly I need sleep. *g* Lovely picspam! I'm not a huge fan of the character (though I agree that things that make Bill unhappy make me happy) but she had some awesome clothes!

[sakuraberries]

I was mesmerized by her clothes every single time she was on-screen (well, except for the Jockey outfit, but hey).

thanks!

[devymel12.livejournal.com]

I loved the Fuchsia Nightgown the best!

[sakuraberries]

My favourite is the ruffled ensemble. :)

[sophistabitch.livejournal.com]

LOVE THIS.

The Ruffled Ensemble was my fave.

[sakuraberries]

THANK YOU.

It was my favourite as well, although it's competing with the Southern Belle look.

[vanillefax.livejournal.com]

I LOVED her Southern Bell look.

[sakuraberries]

I KNOW RIGHT? SO AWESOME.

[danceonstardust.livejournal.com]

She's forever fabulous.

[sakuraberries]

Indeed.

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

I can`t even pick a favorite outfit! Thank you for this FLAWLESS post!

[sakuraberries]

And thank YOU for such a lovely comment. :)

[tasukigirl.livejournal.com]

So nice to see other Lorena fans. :)

[sakuraberries]

:D

[wicked-swann.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing these! LOVE Lorena, and her clothes.

[sakuraberries]

You're very welcome! :D

[thethicket.livejournal.com]

That sequin dress. Ugh. So damn awesome.

[sakuraberries]

ikr. and i usually don't even like sequined dresses, but GUH, so beautiful.

[sakuraberries]

Exactly! I was really, really upset; Lorena brought so much crazy to the show (in a good way).

[roark28.livejournal.com]

Awesome post. You'd think after a few hundred years some of those other vamps would pick up some style, but no one comes close to her. The black lace dress is my favorite, it's just so damn gorgeous and flattering. And I remember seeing her gliding down the hall in the Morticia Addams frock, not knowing who she was, but thinking, "This is gonna be good."

[sakuraberries]

thank you!

[marrythestars.livejournal.com]

Lorena was such an amazing character! So sad they killed her off. :(
Bless this post!

[sakuraberries]

Thanks!
