How Courtney Love Kept Her Hefty Bag On

The wardrobe mistress watches Tori2 pose in a pink piece of stretch-satin shit. It's very tight on her butt, and that figures prominently in the foreground of this scene. Tori2 doesn't like it. She wants to look like "Jennifer Lopez. You know -- sexy. Classy." Yeah, because those are the words that spring to mind when I think about Jennifer Lopez. She did say "skanky" and "flashy," right? The wardrobe mistress, who looks like the fortune teller on whom I wasted $10 at the flea market last summer, says that she does have one dress that's "to die for." But not everyone can pull it off. It'll take posture, commitment, and stamina. Tori2 can do it! She begs to try it on. Hunter comes out of the dressing room in a flouncy off-the-shoulder maroon number. There are little transparent straps over Hunter's shoulders, holding everything up. Wow. So that's how they do it. I guess if you go to a celebrity function in real life, you see those little straps on everyone. But when you're watching from your beat-up sofa at home with your Hot Pockets and your generic soda, you think it's all magic. Or double-sided tape. Hunter's arching her back as hard as she can, but it still doesn't do anything for the dress's décolletage. I'm reminded of Gwyneth Paltrow playing dress-up with that pink thing at the Oscars. Hunter brags that she looks good in everything. The wardrobe mistress doesn't know who's going to look sexier -- Hunter or her mother. Hunter throws a tantrum when she learns that Helena's going to the premiere with Quentin. She says Helena's only doing it to spite her. "Yeah," says the wardrobe lady. "That and the sex."

Hunter runs out onto the lot, where Quentin is fondling his motorcycle, which is a Ducati 900SS or 916 and looks like it has a dry clutch and carbon-fiber exhaust. (My husband was almost as impressed with the motorcycle as he was with Tori2's ass.) Hunter straddles the seat and confides that she's had a secret crush on Quentin all this time. She says that's the only reason Helena's been sleeping with him. Quentin either believes her or prefers her to Helena, because he acts flattered and welcomes Hunter's kiss. He doesn't seem to mind that her hair is greasy and uncombed.

Hunter and Quentin make out in her trailer. She stops him, saying she can't share him with her mother. He asks how Hunter would like to have him all to herself. Kevin bursts in and immediately apologizes. Hunter tells him they're rehearsing. "I need to rehearse a lot. I'm a perfectionist," says Quentin, smiling brightly. "Uh, okay," says Kevin. He asks Hunter something about guacamole. She prompts Quentin to leave, telling Kevin that "he has another scene to rehearse before we can get to our bi-i-ig love scene." She kisses Quentin one last time before he goes to dump her mom. Quentin detains Kevin as they leave the trailer. He writes a note and asks Kevin to give it to Helena, but not until Quentin's left the lot. Oh, man, that's weak. I love it.
