One Dress a Day Challenge

October: Silver Redux

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery / Elizabeth Hurley as Vanessa Kensington

This metallic silver minidress with halter collar and matching go-go boots evokes the 1960s. The T-strap in the back may be a nod to Rosie Carver's white minidress from Live and Let Die.

Dr. Evil describes the outfit as "quasi-futuristic" and says he designed it himself. (Costumes for this movie were actually designed by Deena Appel.)

Austin Powers AU: “The Spy Who Shagged Me” with Vanessa

So, this idea came to as I was listening to a podcast on the movie. Apparently, the original intent was NOT to go with the full James Bond thing of a different Bond Girl every film. The intent was for Vanessa to still be in the film, but Elizabeth Hurley had scheduling issues where she could not do the whole film. She was available for the one scene where she is revealed as a Fembot, so they at least could work her in that way.

Now, this makes me wonder, though. If they did “The Spy Who Shagged Me” with Vanessa, what would the film have been like? How would they have done the whole thing of Austin Powers losing his mojo when he is with his wife? How would they have approached the whole angle of Austin being impotent in that sense?

Here's my quick photoshop of Vanessa in Britney's outfit from the film to a friend of mine. One of my better face swap with only using Photoshop!

Vanessa Kensington - Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

The reason austin powers pursue some women

Austin powers only pursue Vanessa because he couldn't be with her mother.

Austin powers pursue felicity because she is female version of him.

Austin powers pursue foxxy cleopetra because he hurt her in the past with his womanizing.

Found an Austin Powers collection and watched the first one this time !  It had been a while

-- Austin Powers is in it, and plays a role in the events

-- He’s frozen and comes back later, not unlike Aang or Fry

-- He dresses like Miles Edgeworth--his favourite character !

-- I liked when Vanessa wears glasses.  You can also see her Feet, if that kind of thing is your bag.  It looked like they were having a lot of fun at that point !

-- I hope he didn’t make her uncomfortable at first

-- Alotta seems to be an Italian weeb [?]; I wonder what her favourite anime is...mine is Shaman King !

-- The FemBots exploding brought robot Foot Soldiers[TMNT] to mind

-- A right-hand man with an eyepatch brought Sagat [Street Fighter movie] to mind

-- Dr. Evil always says “Gentlemen”, even if there are ladies present.  And, that’s not even the worst thing he does !

*Mac, in a bad British accent* Yeah, groovy, baby!

Had the idea for months to draw Macdennis as Austin Powers and his girl for Halloween. (And for Vanessa Kensington, all they had to do was just make a few modifications to the silver dress Dennis already had.)

With the help of sexy sidekick Vanessa Kensington, he just might.

[fembotsrock]

Before I recently discovered that the fembot who landed on Austin was an actual stunt actress, I honestly thought it was some kind of animatronic or something. Would they have gone that route if they couldn't get an an actual female to do the stunt?

Anita was down to also do stunts as Vanessa Kensington, plus her Fembot scene had her have hair on fire, lunging after Austin and also doing the cartwheels with Cris, so her hanging from a trapeze may not have been much more of a stretch.

That said, the B roll shows there were likely multiple takes, so I wouldn't want to be the one hanging.

Animatronics were used though, for the close-up shots of Cheryl's nozzles deploying, so it could have maybe been an option available, but I'm glad they went with what they did.
