Mila Kunis in Elie Saab

Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani Prive

The 83rd Academy Awards was mediocre at best. The show was as run of the mill as the gowns were and the latter was the most disappointing of the two. No one expects the actual show to be full of shocks and awes but the clothing, the clothing is what it is all about! Not this year. I don’t know what was going on with these dresses but I am not even going to waste my time posting them all ’cause they are all awful. So I am doing a cliffs notes version of just the best and worst.


Best goes to Mila Kunis for her Elie Saab gown that was a light lavender. It was the only gown that struck out as being truly gorgeous. The color is beautiful and the lace detail and train make it definitely worthy of my “Best” vote.


Now for the Worst. Reese, Reese, Reese, oh honey what happened here? Maybe you came down with a slight case of amnesia and forgot you were going to the Oscars…in 2011. Not your prom….in 1990. This black and white dress is so awful and boring. All she is missing here are elbow length satin gloves… and a seat by the punch bowl. This outfit is so the “Worst”.

One-stop shop and literally one of my favorite stores, Walmart, is about to add a new line to their beauty aisles, only this one is not for lookin’ good at the club, it’s for lookin’ good…..
at recess?

GeoGirl is a beauty line aimed at the ” Tweens” of America, specifically 8-12 year olds. The line which has been stirring up controversy, due to the issue of contributing to the “over-sexualising” of children, will offer mascara, blush, face shimmer and lipstick, all of which are natural and “eco-friendly”. But here is the kicker, the line is supposedly “Anti-aging”. Anti-aging for 8 year olds?


According to the dailymail, the lines marketing team states the following;


“the formulas are designed for ‘young skin’ and contain natural ingredients like white willow bark, chamomile, lavender and calendula, as well as anti-oxidants which are said to prevent aging.”


While I doubt the goal of the line is to create anti-aging results in the children, the ingredients are there. Hitting shelves February 21st, the brand is set to replace my girls Mary-Kate and Ashley’s brand which was a long standing beauty brand for youth at Walmart.

I personally don’t find a problem with this. Every little girl likes to wear play make-up and this brand just offers parents a little comfort in knowing that the tons of gunk all over their little girls face (and on her teeth) is natural and chemical free. It’s only if the parents let their kids wear it out of the house and/or makes the child feel the make-up is making them more beautiful that negative implications will arise.
As for the ‘anti-aging” that’s just a coincidence of the ingredients containing anti-oxidants. Little Katie or whatever your daughters name is has anti-oxidants in her morning OJ. Is she is drinking it purposely at breakfast to keep her 10 year old glow?! gasp!- Gimme a break. It’s all in good fun. Not at all like the girl above, now that’s just weird.

So it’s that time of year again, time for the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
I love to sit down in front of my TV in my sweats year after year and feel bad about myself.
And each year I vow to make hay of my youth, and start walking around in bras and wings just cause I can, and should- while my body hasn’t been taken over by age and baby production, yet I never do.
So come November 30 when the show airs, you can count on the fact that I will be watching in my baggy t-shirt, hair-tied back, telling myself I only have a few good years left in me and I need to start wearing body glitter like them.
Yep, thats exactly what I will be thinking.

Sarah Jessica Parker took the award for my favorite look of the night in vintage Chanel.


Kristen Stewart surprisingly made it on my best dressed list thanks to her gorgeous navy blue Monique Lhullier. This gown is beautiful and was sort of wasted on her pasty, awkward, bad acting, and bad hair’ed self.


Miley, oh Miley. You have the WORST posture, the most annoying voice, and you shouldn’t be at the Oscars to begin with BUT you always have a great dress! It’s so bittersweet. This Jenny Packham is flawless. And Miley’s makeup was gorgeous while her hair, was “eh”. This was probably my second fav of the night.


Rachel, stunning. The watercolor feel of this sweetheart cut Elie Saab Haute Couture was captivating. The chandelier earrings, and one big cocktail ring were the perfect accessories. Love, love, love.


For my best dressed male, I chose Robert Downey Jr. It’s very hard to pick a “best dressed” for men since they all wear basically the same thing with slight variations unnoticeable unless you have a skilled eye. However, Robert’s bright aqua bow tie and black kicks are refreshing and youthful. He could stand to lose the blue shades but whatever, they matched.


And finally, the Zef. He is on here just because, well, he needs to be seen. Looking ever so handsome as always, Zac attended the show solo (without fug, girlfriend V-hudge) thank God. Im not digging his new spiky hair so much but damn, this is a good pic.

So I know Gabourey Sidibe is new to the whole red carpet/awards show circuit and I am sure she was coached as to how to stand so that the camera get’s the best shot, (hands on the hips is a popular option) but with her height and weight, someone should have realized she was bound to look like a damn Sumo wrestler. I’m sorry. It had it be said. I have a lot of pent up aggression due to numerous nights spent watching Jersey Shore and the Bad Girls Club so you do the math. I am liable to pick a fight with this ginormous girl too. So lets be glad that all I said was words, because sticks and stones people, sticks and stones.

So what do we think about this dress?? I kinda dig it. I like the color a lot. What I am more focused on though is the fact that celebrities have no qualms with the fact that they wear fake hair. Ginnifer had long hair at the He’s Just Not That Into You Premiere which took place 2 nights ago and today she has a short bob. She looks great both ways but personally I think the whole hair extension thing is really cheesy and more so bothers me because people assume my long (and very real) hair is fake too since everyone else’s is. Pick a length people! Stop the Madness Fakeness!

I am very disappointed in my beauty idol Megan Fox. I really don’t know where to begin. Her dress is not flattering by any means, the color is so blah on her and the jewelry oh God the jewelry, GREEN! What the hell man? I think what makes it exceptionally awful is the hair, it’s totally the hair. I mean she is still beautiful but she looks like she is at the senior prom circa 2001. I swear my friend wore a dress just like this, but in a better color.

Apparently I’m late on this piece of info but a few months ago Hayden Panettiere got a tattoo that says: vivere, meaning “to live”. I actually really like the placement of it.

On a side note, Hayden looked great last night! Look at that smokey eye!

So Ashlee Simpson is no longer the sultry redhead that she’s been for over a year now. I personally loved the color. I wish that my skin tone allowed for me to pull off such an awesome shade, but sadly it doesn’t. I think blonde looks good on her, but well, it’s just so typical ya know. Go back to red Ash! It was one major way to be different from your stupid sister too! (if that last line didn’t work, I don’t know what will)

The color of this season is grey folks (if you didn’t know) Dark, light, you name it, we love it on our fingers, toes, shoes, and in cashmere around our necks! With the economy the way it is right now you might not be able to afford the latter, but you can definitely pick up my new favorite color from the dream team at O.P.I. It’s called You Don’t Know Jaques and although it appears brownish in the bottle, it will look like a darker shade of warm grey on your fingers or toes and it’s a fresh new spin on the tired black nails of last season.
