Desperate Housewives Week 9
"Dress Big"
FINALLY...On Sunday there was a new episode of Desperate Housewives, and it was definitely worth the wait.
No more clothes for Gabrielle
Gabby is heartbroken when she returns from shopping to find her whole wardrobe ruined because of a leak. I feel kind of bad for her becasue clothes are the only thing she cares about. She finds a new reason to date Victor, her politician pursuer...his ex-wife is storing her designer clothes at Victor's mansion. He won't let her borrow the clothes, she takes them anyway and ends up getting caught. While in the past she had been turned off by his overly confident demeanor, Victor finally reveals that he is embarrassed about the way he treated his wife. Gabby then responds that she could fall in love with the person he is showing her. It's weird that she likes a person who just admitted he neglected his wife for many years. Then he obviously
...buys her a new dress.
A New Uniform for Lynnette
I constantly talk about how Lynetteis my favorite character on Desperate Housewives, and this week was no different. Her storylines always seem the closest to reality in my opinion. Lynette and Tom and manage a pizzeria. The uniforms are bright orange shirts, which Lynette despises.
Tom loves the orange shirts. Of course, Lynette being the stubborn woman that she is refuses to wear the shirt, and storms out of the restaurant. When Tom doesn't come home that night, rushes to because to the pizzeria to find Tom unconscious on the floor. Tom had seriously injured his back, and now Lynette is left to run the restaurant on her own.
...she goes back to wearing the orange shirt.
This episode is filled with symbolism all revolving around clothes. Besides Lynette and Gabby, Susan finds her fiancé’s father wearing her lingerie. This represents the hidden secrets in both of their pasts. Also Edie uses clothes or lack there of as a tactic to get Carlos in bed. She says she'd like him to see her for who she really is, under her façade
...as she strips off her clothes!
