Did Diablo Cody make leopard skin jump the shark?

We're right there with Kristen Seymour on loving a bit of leopard. And Diablo Cody is a full on inspiration to us lady writers -- you will find zero hating round these parts.

But...

Ever since the Diablo Cody awards ceremony (over) exposure tour, leopard skin, either as an outfit theme or accent, seems a bit...tired.

The Diablo Cody Leopard Skin Experience

(click thumbnails to view gallery)

  • The Leopard Skin Coat
  • The BAFTAs Leopard Skin Dress
  • The Leopard Skin Shoes
  • The Wicked Tight Vintage Looking Leopard Skin Dress in Palm Springs
  • The Leopard Skin Bag
Diablo was a knock out at the BAFTAs in that Cavalli dress. And she has a vintage leopard skin coat that looks great over pretty much anything.

Ok, maybe not with the argyle knee socks, but you have to give her points for effort.

And yet, somewhere around the IFC Spirit Awards when she dragged out the leopard skin hand bag, again an enviable accessory, we started to get "Signature Look Fatigue."

See what you think - Cavalli, socks and a whole lotta swell bustline await your perusal in the gallery - and share your opinion in this exciting poll:

Did Diablo Cody make leopard skin jump the shark?
Hells yeah, I never want to see it again!5 (18.5%)
OMG, that could never happen!7 (25.9%)
Meh, it only matters to a couple of vintage store Betties15 (55.6%)

Maybe Mel B, aka Scary Spice (who loves a nice leopard print or three) should be held accountable a little. She was on Dancing with the Stars and the Spice Girls were just doing their reunion thing recently. I'll cut Ms. Diablo a little slack.
