I've been out wandering in the big ole blogosphere and discovered something.
TJ Maxx is showing love to bloggers!! And anyone who blogs or reads blogs knows that bloggers crave love and attention. We really, really do.
Check it out..over at My Fashion Life, Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi is telling of his experience. He also links to other bloggers that shared it with him. It's a good read AND it's super cool that TJ Maxx wooed them like that. heidi
Ooooh...that pic of David Cook was frightening, wasn't it?!? AY yi yi.
So what do ya think Rihanna was thinking when she put this on?
When she said "Oh, this old thing??" She really meant it. Someone was playing 'Let's make a toilet paper dress' before they came to the show. Love her shoes, though.
Sarah Silverman, ladies and gentlemen. "I'm a hippy..no wait..a little girl..oh wait..I wanna look like I didn't even try." Success!
I thought Ashley Tisdale looked fantastic last night. Loved her hair. Loved her dress. Love it, Love it, Love it.
Who knew the Dolls could look normal? Hey - guess who designed for them last night!!! Christian Siriano - 2007 winner of Project Runway! Woot - go Christian!!
Everywhere you look these days, there is something referencing the book/movie Twilight. Girls and women all over the country are screaming Edward's name and wishing they were Bella.
It has me wondering if there is going to suddenly be a surge in Twilightesque fashion. I've not read the book and the movie hasn't been released yet, but being interested in all things fashion, I had to start digging.
The book characters tend to blend into their environment, from what I can tell. They live in the Pacific Northwest so their every day wardrobes would probably consist of a lot of the same things "normal" people wear. Jeans, tees, hoodies and probably even a parka or two. Unlike other vampire themed movies, there isn't any of the stereotypical 'vampire-like' clothing.
That will make it easy for fans to imitate the styles from their latest movie icons!
She's made more Fashion Disaster and Worst Dressed lists in one year than most stars do in their LIFETIME. Why? Well...here's a sampling..you tell me why.
Most of her outfits border on completely obscene with various body parts hanging out for the world to see. This dress - I couldn't show you the back view because, well, it really wasn't there!
So, what do you think? Does she deserve the title Worst Dressed???
Can I just go off on my own little Halloween Rant for a minute?
For a long time Halloween has been a time where grown women parade around in something they call a costume that is really more like lingerie. I distinctly remember taking my girls trick-or-treating at the mall and having to cover their eyes when some of the store employees were handing out candy.
Little Bo Peep was NOT meant to be a star of adult film.
As if that wasn't bad enough, now it's trickled down to children's costumes. Have you SEEN the choices available?? They're ridiculous! Thigh high stockings for 7 year olds?!? "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!! I want to be a hooker for halloween this year!!"
What happened to the innocent fun of halloween? Where are the cute little kitties? The Punk Rocker with the outrageous hair and make-up? The simple Ghost, for crying out loud?! Now it's all about skin, skin and more skin. The bodices of costumes are STUFFED to add "dimension", the slits are so high they might as well rip the garment in half. WItches are sex symbols and fairies no longer flit around innocently scattering fairy dust.
I don't know if you know who he was, but "Mr. Blackwell" passed away this past week.
"Mr. Blackwell" is the man responsible for the Worst Dressed List. He critiqued them all - Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Cher (frequent offender!), even Queen Elizabeth!!
Obviously you know, if you've read my blog here at all, I was a fan of his.
How could you not adore someone that dubbed Camilla Parker-Bowles "The Duchess of Dowdy"? Or referred to Ann Margaret as "Marlon Brando in a g-string."
His was a biting and caustic wit, but it was fun and campy in the same vein.
So, R.I.P. "Mr. Blackwell" and may you never have to see Mariah Carey looking like "Shrink-wrapped cheesecake." again!
I love to scan the rag mag fashion photos in the mornings, as I'm sure you've noticed.
This morning these caught my eye:
Oh look, it's Mischa. Even though she's at a release party for a video game, she should have tried a little harder. But, ya know, the more I see of Mischa's fashion the more I think this look was completely thought out in advance and on purpose...which makes it even more scary!
Speaking of scary, what in the WORLD is Mena Suvari wearing?!?! The dress by itself isn't horrendous but her choice of black accessories is beyond questionable. Remember the 80's?! Me too. Like, gag me with a spoon, Mena!
This dress that Jaime King has on reminds me of astronauts. Or of those hot/cold bags people take food to a potluck in. Or..hey..maybe she's just trying to stop the evil x-ray vision of the infiltrating alien hoards!!!
Leelee Sobieski wanted to share her inner Hobbit with us. Thanks, Leelee, now maybe you, Robin Hood and the rest of the band of Merry Men can go rob the rich of a decent outfit for yourself?
Apparently this 80's trend isn't one that's going to die anytime soon. Waist length leather, skin tight leggings, slouchy ankle boots? Christina Milan at least looks smashing in that purple, if nothing else.
Don't fret - it's not ALL bad..these were my two favorites: I adore this simple suit paired with the brilliant blue that Rocco has on.
And this dress that Kate Beckinsale has on is gorgeous:
Christina Aguilera is the talk of the town these days with her new look. She's all vamped up and ready for her new album release and concert tours. I'm not sure that I actually LIKE her new look. You tell me....like it or not?
Bad fashion aside *cough cough* her flat ironed hair and shiney hot pink lips are just too much for me. And is she a long lost Oompa Loompa? Why is she orange? Too many carrots? Step AWAY from the tanning bed, Xtina.
I was just reading an article about Mandy Moore introducing 12 new fashion designers to the world. It's weird to me because I've never really thought of Mandy Moore as a great fashion icon, but whatever.
Did ya huh??? I've been here just haven't felt like blogging. Weird, huh?
But, I've been inspired and renewed, so now..I must mock.
WHAT is Ashley wearing??? It's just horrible..The flower things on her neckline? All those sequins?!? I'm blind - I'm BLIND!!
Rawr. Sharon Stone wants to be the next Cheetah Girl.
*sigh* Really? I mean..just..really? I hereby declare that Heidi Montag must change her name until and unless she can stop wearing over the knee black socks with white granny boots. The end.
Oooooooooooohhhh..marosa. Your 5 minutes were up a year ago. Move on.
OK..I actually take this one personally. I used to have a crush on this guy when I was a kid. Remember Goonies?? Stand By Me? Bad News Bears?? LOST BOYS?!?!(I'm so dating myself here, aren't I??) What happened to you Corey? Huh? What happened?? *sob* Then:
Is this day OVER yet?!?! Seriously. I'm done with it, can we just put it to bed already??
Before leaving the house today I was trrying to find my black slides. A gremlin has come and stolen one of them. I can NOT find it. Anywhere. It's gone. Call Sculley and Moulder, it's been alien-napped.
At the store someone says to me, "Did you know you have puke on the back of your shirt?" Um..no, I didn't know, but thank you for telling me. At least it explains the smell I couldn't find. It would seem the baby urped while I was carrying him earlier and I wore it as a fashion statement.
Then, the kicker. I think I have my hair in a cute messy bun. I mean, that's how it was when I left the house! Nope. Got home and, uh, hit the facilities only to find it's not a cute messy bun AT. ALL. I look like someone pulled random hairs out and they're just randomly flying around my head and sticking out in various directions.

So I have searched the big ole WWW and have found no official word that this is Christina DeRosa and not Alyssa Milano:
However, all the good rags have it as such and even some of the actual newspapers are saying it is so. So, I will stand corrected. Nonetheless, I still hate that dress and the fake fan purse. Nasty.
As far as Eva Longoria Parker's dress goes - I don't think the WHOLE dress is a disaster. I rather like the bottom fringy part of it....but that bow thing at the top just distracted me.
I have to say, I WAS glad to see so much color at the Emmy's instead of the usual drab muted fare. It definitely made it fun!
