Prime Example of when the Cup Runneth Over...

I am so sad I didn't see this until today.  I admit it, I didn't watch the Red Carpet prior to yesterdays Oscars.  It was like 4 hours of non-sense and I prefer to skip the chit chat and get to the hard stuff...the ugly dresses.

Brandi Brandi Brandi-Can you say trying too hard?  Your dress is trying hard to keep your breasts from spilling out.  Brandi Glanville, most famous for getting cheated on by Eddie Cibrian and Leann Rimes and is now  on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and apparent fashion consultant with Piers Morgan?  (In case you were wondering who this classy lady was)

All I want to know is, did anyone really take her seriously?  Because on a real platform for people to get to know you and maybe even see you for more than a tabloid star, she apparently came off unpleasant and vulgar.  Glad I missed it-darn!

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Maybe go up a couple cup sizes?  And I am pretty sure since she cannot get the dress up higher, the slit is in the wrong place.  Pretty sure it was supposed to go higher up the thigh and not to right above her knee.

This is definitely not her stylists fault as she helped design this beauty (sarcasm) for her clothing line.  So I don't think you need to BURN this dress, but maybe give it to girl that it actually fits and shame on you Brandi.  Why does everyone think they can be a fashion designer?  Leave it to the professionals people...

A Nip Above the Rest

I know, I know, they are the darts in her dress.  But all anyone can say is, check out those nipples!

And yes, I am sure Anne Hathaway didn't care, but when you are the front runner to win one of the biggest awards of the night, you might want to plan a bit better.  But I still love her, so I will let this slide...just don't do it again.  Congrats on your Les Miserables Oscar.  I am sorry about the nipple action.  But like 10 years this was the biggest craze!!!

White Hair isn't always the Right Hair...

Most of the Oscars I don't really care to pay attention to.  But I actually stopped and wanted to see if anyone else agreed with me?  Anyone else think Claudio Miranda looks like David Bowie in Labyrinth?

For those of you who don't know, Claudio won an Oscar for Achievement in Cinematography for Life of Pi.  And David Bowie is...David Bowie in the 1986 Film Labyrinth.  But I am sure if I keep thinking about it, I can think of some more white haired men or women, whose hair choices made me scratch my head. (Halle Berry in X-Man, Creepy Old Guy on Soap Opera Another World, Etc)

I understand the white hair is artistic and perhaps men look at dying their hair differently than women do.  But maybe a ponytail to keep it back would of been a bit more sophisticated.  But that is just me!

Should of Used Identity Theft to BUY a New Dress

So the Oscars are about an hour and a half over and most of the dresses and tuxes are acceptable in my opinion.  However the beards, not the gay men wives, but the facial hair...need to go!  I know most of them are for "movie roles" but its okay to use a razor people.

So far the worst dress I have seen stood out pretty greatly.  And while Melissa McCarthy isn't nominated, she did present.  Her grey dress sort of reminds me of a toga party gone wrong.  The color to me is kinda blah, and I am usually a grey person.  The embellishment on the shoulder and ends of sleeves, was an attempt at bling, but maybe some earrings would of helped?

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

The cut of the dress makes Melissa look completely shapeless, like a grey trash bag.  If the ruching would of been higher up, above her hips and flared out, I think it would of been much nicer.  The dress actually looks like its too big for her....did she not have time for a fitting?

I know some body types are harder to fit than others.  But this shapeless, colorless dress does very little for Melissa.  There was definitely some effort and I am pretty sure some stylists helped her.  But I would for sure BURN this dress and there is always next year.  Because I am sure Bridesmaid 2 is in the works!!

ALMOST OSCAR TIME!!!

So on all the fashion and entertainment websites, everyone is showing what they constitute as the "Best of the Oscar Fashion".  And I am going to say, some of their selections leave some questions in my mind, but today's selection by E! reminded me of something completely different.

And while Michelle Williams, Halle Berry's and Hilary Swanks dresses were expensive and seem to top most lists (not sure why for Halle's-looks like she is at a fancy beach party), Hilary's is what stood out to me.  But again, not for her fashion choice, the color, the fit, etc but what happened a little bit later...during a taping of a little show we call 'Good Morning America.'

While filming an episode of the Hills, before Whitney Port got her own spin-off show, she (enter air quotes here) by chance got selected to wear Hilary's dress when a model didn't show up.  Because I am sure that happens ALL THE TIME.  Regardless, we were treated to this little morsel!

And just because its Friday and I am feeling generous, Lauren Conrads (LC's) face!!!

Your Welcome...

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?

 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!

Cheek Piercings...Strange Place for a Hole

I have blogged about several fads I don't understand:

• Bushy Beards
• Behind the Ear Tattoos
• 1/2 body Spray Tans
• Miley Cyrus's Haircut
• Male Adults in Onesies

So I feel its appropriate to throw in another one I don't understand that is making pop-culture news.  Amanda Bynes and her cheek (or dimple) piercing.  She tweeted this pic the other day, but first question.  I thought she gave up Showbiz and Tweeting? 

Regardless, I have never understood piercing my face, maybe the nose or eyebrow, but the cheek?  Now I have a question, is there a back of the stud in your mouth or is it a hook like a nose piercing?  (If someone knows, I would love to hear) Only more confusing to me is getting the back of your neck pierced. OUCH!!!

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Yeah, we are way past that question.  As well as the BURN or FIRE issue.  She fired all her people (agent, manager, styling team, etc) and moved to NYC to escape the Hollywood limelight.  Or so she says...

My only thoughts are, 1)What is Lindsay going to do to compete with this?  And 2)Imagine that hole when she decides to take it out.
