fyi...I hate Lena Dunham

After a late summer beach trip, I just can't get into the bitchy mcsnotty this Monday, even after the Emmys.But I feel I need to share my thoughts, so here are a couple.  First, I loved all the bright dress colors. Second, I think we all can agree Heidi Klum is bananas beautiful and the aqua color looked flawless on her. Even after the whole Angelina Jolie-slit debacle she chose to pull off a risky slit and it worked.

Third, the big talk of the night was the red heads taking charge! And by "all the talk", I mean talking to myself in my living room. Louis CK, Damian Lewis, Julianne Moore doing work.


God, how much do we love this red headed terrorist?!?
PS. Homeland starts next weekend! Sqeelsoexcited!

Thoughts on JM's dress? I thought it was murder.death.kill but mostly because
 I wouldn't/couldn't be caught dead in yellow.
It makes me look a little heppy B.

Christina Hendrick's boobs were out of control, I thought Ashley Judd looked ridiculous, I loved Portia deRossi's pantsuit, and I am slowly starting to hate Julianna Margulies. But all that is sound and fury signifying nothing after you see this...

GODDDDDDDAMNNNNN.

dresses and scarves = life

Yes, I probably should have done an Oscars recap on Monday but the people I wanted to win won, and the dresses were just okay.  I hated Viola Davis' green Vera Wang. It did not fit her right through the top and the dress was too stiff, though the color was amazing.  The one dress I did love was Gwyneth Paltrow's. You can hate all you want, but Tom Ford is classic and perfect and amazing. The only thing I wish she did have on was some sort of stud earring. Perhaps a sapphire or emerald. Thoughts on your best/worst dressed? And your thoughts on a Bunny/Jean Dujardin french-Parisian love affair? I'm kind of liking the idea....and I could eat baguettes all day long.

The Vanity Fair after party had better dresses than the Oscars, but I thought that Cameron Diaz (gag) killed it in the orange Victoria Beckham dress. KILLED IT. The color is perfect, the dress is perfect, and Cameron with her mouth shut is perfect...well she's just okay. God, why am I a redhead who cannot wear orange!

After dropping the Great Hambino, aka my brother, off at the airport for his 6 month Australian walk about, I decided to do some premature 'spring' cleaning. Anything that hasn't been worn in over a year was getting tossed. What I found in that closet was not pretty...stuff I hadn't worn in a good 6 years, things I had completely forgotten about and this was after I moved this summer and purged a boatload of stuff. But the big thing that came out of this cleanse - the realization that my scarf collection is OUT-OF-CONTROL. This is more than just the silk collection in which I found two scarves I have only worn once and completely had forgotten about. It's more the cotton, drapey scarves. You know its bad when the scarves try and break out of the closet, which is what prompted the impromptu cleaning. I have them on a hook on the closet door. After coming home from the airport, I found the over-the-door hook broken and the scarves everywhere.  What should be noted is that none of said scarves actually made it INTO the dump bag. But now I am trying to find a new way to store them so I won't forget about my babies. Especailly this Hermes baby who arrived on my birthday from a generous benefactor...

Best quote of yesterday: "Sometimes I feel like I'm Grace from Will and Grace and you are Karen Walker." - New Girl


Ohhhh, new girl, if you only knew.

"oscar" was the name of the baby on ghostbusters 2

OSCAR weekend! Should we place bets on who will win 'best actor' and 'best movie'? If George Clooney wins for "The Decedents", I will throw something at the television. Talk about a sad, dreary, boring movie. I truly only think he won the SAG award for the 2 minute run he completed in the movie. I still don't understand the whole land titled issue or the crazy Hawaiians. I thought the movie was boresville and again, if it wins, I will throw something at the tv.

Other movies up for best picture: Tree of Life, The Artist (I haven't seen it but I can tell I love it), The Help (excellent casting), Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Hugo, Midnight in Paris (the opening 5 minutes are perfection), Moneyball (I thought this movie was stupid), War Horse.

Best male actor: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jean Dujardin, Gary Oldman, Demain Bichir. I'm picking Jean Dujardin because he looks like Clark Gable and everyone knows Gone with the Wind is my favorite movie. Gary Oldman was okay in Tinker Tailor, but the movie stunk like rotten eggs. I saw it with 3 girlfriends and we all walked out of the movie asking what had just happened with the last 2 hours of our lives. It was miserable.  Brad Pitt in Moneyball...I don't understand why they made this movie or why people think he was so spectacular. Same with George.

Best female actor: Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Rooney Mara, Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams. MOTHER FUCKING MERYL. Glenn Close in her cross dressing role is freaky. Viola Davis was superb, but is up against Meryl. Rooney's weird bangs, her flawless skin, and the fact that she can't keep her mouth shut are her downfall. Oh also, the Swedish version of the movie was MUCH better. And I think everyone knows how I feel about Michelle Williams - so I'm handing the big WIN to Meryl.

To keep in theme with this post, I would also have you know that over the weekend I saw "this means war". One word to describe the movie, "THEWORSTMOVIEIHAVEEVERSEENINMYENTIRELIFE". Pass on this. Even the hotness of Tom Hardy doesn't save it. I also saw "the vow" two weekends ago. Channing Tatum is insanely hot so he helps this movie along. It's not awful per se.... Speaking of awful, Jennifer Aniston's new movie looks like the pits. What is wrong with her and her movie choices? She hasn't been in a good one since Picture Perfect. True story.

XOXO,

"I passed bobby brown the other day and threw an old bag of chicken mcnuggets at his head"

SO. DAMN. SAD. about Whitney Houston right? But I don't think anyone is overly surprised. It's been a long time coming...many, many years. Can we say that Bobby was the root of all evil? I can remember when she first started dating him and the world was a gasp over their relationship. But then again, I loved him on their tv show "BOBBY!" thinking he was more of the grown up and she was a child. Do you remember the episode where he helped her....uh...evacuate her system (I will not go into anymore detail). She called that 'love'; I called it disgusting.

So what can we learn from this tragedy other than say no to drugs? Well if you are Lindsey Lohan - then pay attention because you are up next girlfriend. It's like a Dicken's novel before your very eyes Lindsey. Get the help you need. And stay far away from your mother and father. They are the ones bringing you down.

To remember Whitney in better times:



On to the Grammys...
First, I almost freaked out when I saw they were having a Beach Boys reunion. I cannot even tell you how much I love them. Would we consider that a "reunion". I definitely expected more out of them then just ONE miserable song. Whatever. I'll take it I guess.

And in usual Bunny format, I will bullet point my thoughts:

*LL Cool J as the host. What did you think? Bless his little heart, but no.
*Carrie Underwood's dress was stunning.

*Adele so adorable but her boy was not. Also, I know she was nervous, but she really should not have been chewing gum during the awards. Every time the camera flashed to her she was chomping away. Looked awful.
* I know I will get a lot of crap for this, but I'm starting to favor Chris brown over Rihanna. She's had a change of character that is not becoming. She seemed to buck the sympathy vote. But I'm glad she is no longer a red head. I hate fake reds.
*It seems that Bruno Mars and Alicia Keyes have same hairstylist and they should be fired.
*Fergie looked like a whore and that she got dressed haphazardly. If you take all that time to find a stunning gown, why in the world wouldn't you wear appropriate jewelery or, I don't know say, brush your hair.
*Kelly Carlson and the country guy seemed unsure of themselves in their duet. Do they normally sing together? Her hair was a train wreck. Seemed to be the theme last night.
*Coldplay. Eeek. Thanks Chris Martin for wearing your finest paintballin attire. Also, he sounded AWFUL live. Gwyneth's dress made up for it though. It was bananas.

I am alive

It was touch and go there for a couple days, but I am feeling much better. Thank you all for your emails and concern.  For those following at home who don't know where I've been for a week, the illness I've had since October finally caught up to me and it was not pretty. It seems that despite all the booze over christmas, the gym and the multiple z-packs made any difference to the infection. I was very close to having pneumonia and I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever been as sick as I was last week in my life.

*6 days out of work
*5 trips to CVS
*4 boxes of tissues
*3 days of no sleep
*2 doctors visits

All I can say is thank you to the Australian Open for keeping me entertained at 4am. I really didn't care who I was watching, but Rafa was on Monday night at the height of my insomnia and seemed to soothe the restlessness. The shots of Carlos also helped.  The final match was brutal - both the time and the outcome.

I happened to catch the SAG awards last night before Downton Abbey and the Good Wife. Did you watch? The red carpet was okay, nothing earth shattering except for Rose Byrne's amazing Elie Saab pantsuit. Between her outfit and her hair, she was perfection. Other observations:

*I'm still over Michelle Williams and her pixie hair.
*I'm over George Clooney and Stacy Kiebler. I hate her name. Reminds me of Kiebler elves and makes me crave cookies.
*Angie looked better than at the Globes, but that black halter dress she has worn before. However, it looks good on her and her hair and jewelry were pretty.
*Brad continues to look like a wax doll.
*How do you pronounce "Tattinger", the champagne? I've always heard it said "tat-en-ger". But last night they pronounced it "tat-en-jay". Whatever - just pass the bottle of Veuve.
*Emily Blunt looked great in that green Oscar de la Renta dress. I am dying over the grass green he has been using this season.
*If Julianna Margulies wore a colored dress, she would cease to exist. Someone please tell her stylist to incorporate some color to the poor childs wardrobe.
*I really want to like Julie Bowen because I love her on Modern Family, but I just can't. She's not funny. At all. And actually I take it back, I don't love her on Modern Family.
*Speaking of Modern Family, the creator - Steven Levitan - is adorable. They need to add him to the show.
*Melissa McCarthy - great dress. She needs to stick with that kind of draping.
*Did anyone catch the "in memoriam" portion of the program? Always the best part (to me), I was devastated to learn that the grandma from the Cosby Show died this year. I actually teared up as she was always my favorite person on the show.

I also made one bullet about The Good Wife last night:
*Josh Charles is a phenomenal dancer.

That's about it ladies and gentleman. I'm sick of television, you all are sick of hearing about Rafa, and I missed the Parisian fashion shows last week so I've got nothing left. I'll try to catch you up later in the week on the pretty from Paris. Just to wet your pallet - the Chanel show was held in an airport hanger. Rumor has it they had flight attendants serving drinks complete with costume.

are golden globes the same thing as blue balls?

I know everyone upon everyone has posted their review of the Golden Globes held on Sunday, but without internet at my house (I know, its like the stone age) and some insensitive person scheduled a dinner during the show (rude), I'm a day late and a dollar short.  But never the less ...

First let me say that every time I watch the sit-down-dinner shows, there never seems to be enough room between the tables. I guess the reason is for tv shots, but it really bugs me when 25 people have to get up to let the winner through. And these are Hollywood peeps who only weigh 90 lbs and could squeeze into an ant hole, so you know the tables are tight.

Another thing - the plastic surgery is OUT OF CONTROL. Poor Julianna Margulies looked like she had bells palsy her face was so tight.  And don't get me started on Madeline Stowe. When you can't blink, it's time to stop.

The human wax figures known as Brad and Angie, were looking especially shiny and statuesque.  I swear that dress made her look 25 lbs heavier since we saw them at dinner last week. She should fire her stylist immediately and hire someone who will go above and beyond to make her look human.

I'm not going to cut and paste photos because that would take forever and homegirl is busy. So I'll do some nice bullets.

*I've said it before, but it's so odd to hear Stringer Bell (Idris Elba) speak in a British accent. I'm still waiting for him to find Omar and bust a cap.

*I am over Michelle Williams and her pixie haircut. For the love of Karl, please grow it out. 

*The love affair between George Clooney and Brad Pitt is becoming awkward. Just do it already and shut up.

*Channing Tatum - cute as a button. Not quite smart as one.

*What happened to Mark Wahlberg? He didn't look quite right.

*Was Paula Patton drunk? Every time someone won, she was jumping up and down in her banana gown.

*Who, in their right mind, hooks up with Kelsey Grammer? I just don't get it.

*Perfection all around - Claire Danes, Tilda Swinson (god, she SCARES me), Charlize Theron, Elle McPherson, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba, Diane Lane.

*Cute dresses but that's about it: Zooey Dechanel, Madonna, Kelly Osbourne, Sarah Michelle Gellar (yes - let the backlash begin).

*Bad, bad, bad: The glee girls (except Mercedes). Santana's dress was puckered all down the front and that ho bag Lea Michelle looked cheap...and not in a good way.

Can't wait for the next awards show...and maybe I'll post in a timely manner!

XO,
