Another Macklemore Sighting...Stick to the Original

Is this the new fad in Men's hair fashion?  If so I am not a fan.  It works for the Indie Rapper Macklemore, but he is a performer.  Why is Britney Spears's Ex-boyfriend walking around trying to copy his hairdo?

I know TMZ focused on his gut, but hey I mentioned Brad Pitts attempt and he is way more famous than this guy...Jason Trawick (who doesn't even have a Wikipedia Listing, he has to steal Brit Brit's.)  He is her agent for those of you wondering...AWK-WARD!!!

FLASHBACK: 2001-Brit and JT (How did that not work?)

Don't lie...circa 2001 we ALL thought Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were coolest.  Budding pop stars reunited after the Micky Mouse Club. They were on TRL daily, globe-trotting all over the world and made the infamous statement of waiting for marriage to have sex (or so we thought).  And we all knew that they going to make it as a Hollywood couple.  How could they not?  Ah, my, how things have changed.  But I decided I want to try something new...

A FLASHBACK PHOTO and a What Were WE Thinking?

Britney and Justin wearing matching denim outfits

 to the American Music Awards

As an impressionable 22-year-old I didn't know any better.  And I am sure I scoured such stores as Charlotte Russe, Styles and Wet Seal looking for this dress remake.  Happily I can tell you now, the search was not successful, although I do remember a long skirt being purchased for me by my mother at my begging.  But what was your excuse?

And to further honor this moment and my fond remembrance of TRL (Right?) a little video...Your Welcome!

Newest Version of a Potato Sack?

Lindsey Lohan seems to be a easy target for bad things, comments and otherwise.  And I am going to keep this strictly business, since I know enough people enjoy ripping on Li-Lo and I will not even mention her crazy parents. (Aside from that comment).  But I hear America loves a comeback and maybe she is next...see Britney Spears on the XFactor.  But comeback or not, this outfit should go away!

Lindsey went to Lady Gaga's fragrance opening in NYC and showed up in this baggy brown polka dotted dress, a.k.a, the potato sack.  By the way its belted and the sides flapping out, it makes her seem much bigger and shapeless than she is.  And the top is too round.  I can appreciate she wanted to look sophisticated and her age, but this is too old for her. In retrospect, maybe a brown potato sack would be more flattering.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

I think because its so bulky on both the top or the bottom, one half needs to be fitted more.  If she sticks with the top, I would like to see the skirt shorter and closer to her body.  And the slit up the middle seems to add even more layers to the dress.  If she wants to keep the bottom of the dress, the top needs to be tightened up.

Let's face it, might not be her worst photograph or outing, I mean she didn't get in a car accident or fall into a planter while leaving a club.  A step in the right direction.  I don't think Li-Lo will listen to my words of wisdom, but if she did, I would say keep the shoes and BURN the dress.  And maybe reunite with Dennis Quaid for Parent Trap 2?  I mean c'mon, she was so cute and innocent then...

Even the "Tweens" Wont Like these Teen Choice Awards Outfits

I always know its officially summer time when I see the Teen Choice Awards on my DVR Guide and that day happened last night, although I did not watch it.  All the stars of popular tween television, movies and music get together and get awards, in the way of surfboards.  And generally its pretty obvious who will win, if you play a Vampire, are in the Hunger Games or are Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift, you have a good shot.  What isn't obvious is whether some of these stars had help picking out their outfits or not.  

In the case of these two young women, I hope they have stylists, so they have someone to blame other than themselves.  Lets start with the least terrible first.  Ashley Benson from the television show 'Pretty Little Liars.'  How to begin? The wind blown updo? The lack of accessories?  The boring shoes?  Or the pleated black capri pants that make her hips look HUGE!  She is 22-years-old I don't think she should be showing off childbearing hips just yet.  On her television show she is the one running around in high heels wearing cute little outfits (Yeah I watch it, so what, it is a good show.)  But this was a huge downer for me, probably when I am used to seeing her look much much better.  But Ashely's outfit was not the worst...

Ah Demi Lovato, newest judge on the X-Factor and previous Disney Darling with a slightly dark past.  This outfit should of definitely stayed there...in the past or at least off the carpet.  I have let "Stage Outfits" go in the past, but as you can clearly see, this is a pink carpet ensemble and is fair game.  I hate the horsetail pony with hair extensions that don't even match her hair color.  The futuristic gladiator outfits with shoulder protectors and feather fringe shirt.  And the black shoes, that don't even go with the outfit.  If she is going to go for this look, at least throw on the thigh high black boots and commit.  I understand her possibly wanting to shed her Disney image and be considered more grown up, but did she have to go steal one of co-judges Britney Spears costumes from 2009? 

Hmmm, how to save the outfits?

Ashley's outfit might be saved with accessories and a better shoe choice.  If her pants were also maybe a little shorter or a skirt-she could of gotten by with a slap on the wrist.  However Demi's is unsalvagable and just plain ugly.

So ladies, please BURN your entire outfit.  And Ashley, stick with your wardrobe department on your show and ask their advice.  As for Demi, if your shooting for bigger and better things, I think you need a better team behind you, so FIRE your current "peeps" immediately...

When Popstars "Tighten" things Up...

This is a case of when good clothes go wrong...Britney Spears (do I really need to add the "Spears" part) was going to X Factor auditions in a 'LBD.'  We women all know we need Little Black Dresses and when scanning through pictures of celebs, one might of assumed this one would be okay.  But you know what happens when you ASS-U-ME...

The dress is way Way WAY too tight.  When clothing starts rolling over itself, it means it doesn't fit correctly.  You can clearly see the bottom half of her dress especially, is riding up and rolling in places it shouldn't.  And the top seems to almost be cutting of circulation in her arms.  I am not sure if her look of discomfort is from the outfit or the screaming people around her...both have some issues.

And while we are on the topic of too tight, Nick Jonas, is that something in your pocket, or are you just happy to see a cab?
I think your jeans are tighter than Britney's dress and that is not good.  And the white shoes?  Well good thing your cute.  All you need is a fanny pack to complete the look, or is that what you are holding? Or is it your man bag? 

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Well for Britney, I would first attempt to get a bigger size or at least try and let it out.  She seems to be in good shape, just maybe the wrong cut for her.  She has child bearing hips now, so maybe something with more of a A-line cut.  As for Nick, well wear bigger jeans.  It is okay to leave some things to the imagination.

Britney, this is a step in the right direction from your shoe less feet in a gas station bathroom and shaving your own head days. So no need to FIRE anyone, but just a bad choice, maybe donate dress to your sister?  Nick, BURN those white shoes and man bag immediately.  And you too can donate your jeans...maybe to the same girl who takes Britneys dress.

Green Beer Goggles Required...

Happy Belated St. Patricks Day!!!

After a night of celebrating with corned beef, green beer and shamrock shakes I felt like searching for the elusive perfect little green dress.  And you want to know why women don't make them a staple in their closets, because they don't exist. So grab a beer, some green dye and lets discuss...



(From Left to Right: Amanda Seyfried, Victoria Beckham, Isla Fisher & Britney Spears)



Don't get me wrong, there were some pretty dresses, but these xamples are down right awful.  Starting from the left side, Amanda Seyfriends dress looks like something from the junior department of a low budget department store.  I think part of the issue is due to wind or static cling, but the fit around the chest is terrible, it looks like she didn't fill it out.  Victoria Beckham is next and I believe this is actually from her own line-it reminds me of the Jolly Green Giant outfit (see below),  besides having no shape to it at all.  I am pretty sure if she was single, she could just write her number on her dress, rip a piece off and hand it out!  Isla Fisher, where is the top of your dress?  You clearly look uncomfortable in it and I am pretty sure you got it at the same store as Amanda.  And Britney, I know you have been through a lot, but I cannot let you off.  This reminds me of a sample dress used by designers, scraps of a couple dresses used to create the shape.   

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Lets face it, all these woman have had enough success in their life to be able to afford better cuts, designs and fits.  None  of the dresses can be saved and who really wants to.  This is why we have Little Black Dresses or LBS's in our closests.

Ladies, BURN all of these dresses as soon as you can.  Victoria, if this dress is in fact from your line, FIRE your designers-there is no excuse.  Amanda, Isla and Britney I am pretty sure you didn't use a stylist for these events, but maybe you should consult some proffessionals.  I am sure they will tell you to stay away from the junior department sale racks too!!!

Walk of Shame

I understand on a casual weekend day, I may not leave the house in the best condition.  Sometimes my hair might be messy, or my t-shirt a little wrinkled, heck I may go to get a pedicure with little stubby ankle  hair. (Hey man, I have long legs, that is a lot of leg to shave and you know you have done it too.)  

However, I am not Britney Spears, who even though I think her dad might still be managing her money, has WAY more than I will ever have in a lifetime...maybe 10 lifetimes.  She couldn't afford a little bit better of a casual outfit than this?  Is she having trouble picking a season?  I mean summer dress or winter flannel?  This picture was taken yesterday in Los Angeles, so not really a need for the Seattle staple. I would rather be cold than try and blend these two, very different looks together. They say love is blind, so her boyfriend (sorry don't really care to know his name) must be really in AMOR.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

I suppose these pieces separate are fine.  I would say if your cold Britney, maybe throw on some jeans.  You could probably tuck in the dress and blouse it up to look like a top.  Maybe then you can remove the flannel.  It does seem like a sunny day behind you-and I know June is not really flannel season.  If your dead set on the flannel, at least pick something underneath it that matches...a thermal body suit?

This outfit ranks with the likes of mini skirts and uggs...you know who you are!  Obviously no stylist was required Brit, you picked this winner out on your own.  So congrats to you-you saved a few bucks.  I would say take the flannel, throw it in a empty trashcan nearby, BURN it and maybe it will warm you up enough wear only the dress.
