Pop Culture for Those Who Need a Laugh

Since this is my blog I guess I can talk about what ever I really want to talk about, right?
Well, how about pop culture for instance? It's not a topic that I visit often while disgussing random things, but I think that's what I'll talk about now.
First off, I have a rant. The title of this rant shall be "Speidi," also known as that plastic couple from that fake reality show "the Hills." Obnoxious, nauseating, vacuous, vapid, tasteless, annoying, and vile all are words that describe their weasling into modern press, who obviously have cheap taste in entertainment if they are going to spend all their time drivelling over the attention starved couple. Honestly "Speidi," I can't find a more abhorrent couple in all of Hollywood. Congradulations!!!!
Another thing that I have to say is that the SAG awards brought out some very glam looks. I don't think that I saw one truly revolting dress on the red carpet, so I suppose that some of the ladies did decide to hire a stylist after all.
On another note, has anyone seen recent pictures of Dakota Fanning? She's so grown-up! Her little black dress that she wore to the "Secret Life of Bees" premiere was adorable! I want it in every color!
In other clothing news, Bobby Trendy should change his name to "Bobby Seriously-Needs-a-Mirror." His last costume (I refuse to reffer to that thing as an outfit!) was possibly one of the outrageous yet. Red plastic pants are never in style, neither is wearing faux foliage upon your head, and black patent pleather platforms should never be worn unless attending a KISS concert or you decided to dress up as a goth go-go dancer for Halloween.
I hate to be bordering on the negative in this post, but I've never been able to crack so many jokes at stars until now, so i guess I'll just keep going.
The next person caught between the crosshairs is Miss Miley Cyrus. Or Hannah Montana. Which ever you prefer. (Talk about a split personality!) Anyhoo, she seriously needs to get a new beau. (You're 16 honey- dating a 20 year old is not even border-line stupid; it IS stupid.) She needs to figure out that he's using her for fame- who heard of Justin Gatson before Miley stepped into his life? No ordinary person with no ties to pop culture, that's for sure. And cut the peace sign thing out. It's little-girlish and incredibly immature. It's not until a girl grows in to a woman that she can truly captivate and truly show the world who she really is. If she wants to be taken seriously and make it as an actor/singer, she not only needs to show maturity in the outfits that she wears (items that she wears on the red carpet= adult. items that she wears on an every-day basis= teeny-bopper looking for attention.) She needs to make a few decisions to grow up. Disney channel only lasts for so long.

It's no new news to most of you that America just wittnessed the inauguration of Barack Obama this last Tuesday. There were so many things to write on, but I am not really a political person whatsoever, and I actually liked both candidates for this election, so the inauguration did not have the impact on me that it did for many others. However, there are some topics that did amuse me.

1) Inguguration expenses vs. plummeting economy. I can't recall exact figures at the moment, but while listening to one of the news channels I heard the ammount of money spent on this year's inauguration ceremony. WOW!!! No, officials could not have easily skimped on protection for the new first family, but there had to be some way that money could have been saved.

2) The new first family!!! Michelle Obama's dress at the ceremony and her dress later at the celebration were simply stunning. Malia and Sasha were both so very cute as well. It was lovely to see the first family walking together during part of the televised event. Both parents seem very dedicated to their children!

hey everybody!!!

So in case that no one out there knows it yet, the golden globes were on, and man, i think who ever is being fashion police for this one needs to re-check their pics, cause i saw some stunners out there! Anne Hathaway and Megan Fox looked OUT OF THIS WORLD AH-MAZE-ZA-ZING!!! they could have come in a flower sack and still been drop-dead gorgeous- nothing looks bad on them! (unfair, right ladies?) Debra Messing, Blake Lively, and Salma Hayek also looked unbelievable. Eva Longoria-Parker did everything right in her bright red ensemble (on her, anything looks good!) Evan Rachel Wood? Beautiful, classic, all over wonderful. 

However, for as many very lovely ladies as there were on the red carpet, there were at least as many eyesores. Rene Zellweger's overly-theatric wad of tulle? Sally Hawkin's, um, plastic pillowcase-marshmallow mess? Brooke Burke's... uh, what was that? It looked like her cat grew angry with her or she decided to give it an artistic touch by throwing it through a wood chipper. I was also disappointed with Angelina Jolie's outfit. she's got the body that any woman can envy and she covered it a little too much. JLO also delivered a blinding catastrophe in an all-to "LOOK AT ME!" gown. too much gold!!! Amy Adams looked lovely, but her small frame was swallowed whole in a "prom bomb" princess dress. too dramatic for me. Drew Barrymore, dear, you looked like a southern belle gone barbie doll gone frou-frouy... too much frills, too much hair, too much, too much, TOO MUCH!!!  
COME ON LADIES!! YOU ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ON EARTH AND THIS IS HOW YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE? I sometimes wonder if these people want to be made fun of. 
Bold jewelry looked like the statement of the evening. I wish that we could have seen a few more cocktail length dresses and maybe a few belts or pretty clutches. The jewelry was fine, but there are so many other interesting accessories that you could have used (loved Heidi Klum's high heels!!!)  
So, yeah, some of that was a bit harsh... okay, really harsh. but you'll learn that reading my material is the equivalent of what everyone thinks but no one wants to say. i say always say that a good friend always tells you the truth. I also think that a blind stylist is a dead stylist. (that's a bit much maybe... no. No apologies here!) 
So give me you're opinion- I want to hear every comment!
