blowzy

No blowzy gestural flourishes a la Willem de Kooning.

And the character of Martha, whom Albee described as “ample,” is usually played as blowzy.

Sometimes, when I look at who gets nominated for an Oscar, I want to channel Kristen Johnston’s blowzy socialite from “Sex and the City” and exclaim, “No one’s fun anymore! Whatever happened to fun?”

Even in December, the garden bears flowers: Helleborus niger — Christmas roses — with their blowzy blossoms in faded Victorian shades of lavender and sage.

Just because this blowzy couple latches onto you and seems to like you a lot does not obligate you to like them in return.
