Do right

Was just thinking about how amazing this song was...

Kate Middleton + Lupo

Going on today's trend of adorableness (the otter.... not Miley Cyrus or Chentelle Houghton, let's not get confused) here is are two adorable photos of the Duchess of Cambridge (still cannot get used to calling her that!) walking her and William's dog Lupo. So gosh darn cute and love what she's wearing- big fan, as ever.

Chantelle Houghton- actually I am posting this, I am just as shocked as you

Alright so those of you in the UK will know Chantelle Houghton. For those from abroad or those of you from England but have been living in some kind of a rock shelter that doesn't receive Now Magazine, Channel 4 or Hello basically Chantelle was a non celebrity cast mate on Celebrity Big Brother- how you ask. Well basically it was a ploy whereby the producers put her in and she pretended to be from a one hit wonder girl band and the point of all this was that the other contestants were supposed to realise that she was not in fact a celebrity, in an ironic twist nobody realised she wasn't a celebrity and it became apparent to the viewing public (and later to the 'celebrity' contestants themselves) that the caliber of celebrity involved was so low (we're talking E list here) that it wasn't just that the viewers weren't aware of the existence of these celebrities they were just such non- entities they shouldn't have been deemed celebrities. In a further ironic twist she married one of her cast mate's Preston from the band (which few of you have probably heard of and even fewer could name one of their songs) The Ordinary Boys. Chantelle then had a lot of surgery, did some glamour modelling (got her tits out), got divorced, had more surgery, went back on Celebrity Big Brother WITH her ex-husband, somewhat re-kindled their relationship for the media, broke up with him and then dated and subsequently got engaged to Katie Price (aka. Jordan)'s still luke warm left overs in the form of cage fighter/ cross dresser Alex Reid. Alex Reid had been smarting after being so publicly used as a rebound from Price's marriage to Peter Andre and then for being cast aside so quickly, and with allegations or in virility, for a younger- more tanned version- who also didn't speak English. It was a match made in (faux) celebrity heaven essentially. Particularly when he knocked Chantelle up and was able to prove his virility to the world. Now their awkward courtship, the fact that they are both major fame hungry douchebags and the fact that Chantelle bears an uncanny resemblance to a Katie Price wax work aside they seem to be a kind of cute couple. 

I thought they looked particularly cute at London's Wedding Show, more to the point though I was pretty jealous of how sexy Chantelle is looking whilst pregnant. I honestly think she has never looked better- and although that could be construed as a backhanded compliment because she was a bit of a mess before, I honestly think that she is looking really good. 

Miley Cyrus- worst dressed

Alright. I'm going out on a limb here but it has to be said. Miley Cyrus was by far the WORST dressed at the Oscar's this week period. Albeit she was only at the Vanity Fair after party HOWEVER she was the worst dressed there and everywhere.

I do give her fashion kudos for making an attempt to dress her age. However, after this outfit I'm given to wondering whether she knows what her age is...... a query which would make some of her other stylistic choices more easily to reconcile. Usually she dresses like she's 35..... at this event she dressed like she was 30-40. Even Glenn Close dressed younger than Miley- and that's something to think about.

I will say I loved the hair, makeup and earrings. Loving seeing her without the extensions and the faux bob was just adorable. The colour and style were just perfect and looked great on her. Loved the red lip, the stand out eyebrows (very Liverpool!) and the smokey eyes. 

However, the dress was just far too dowdy. The colour, the cut, THE SHOULDER PADS, the length- it was just a disaster it was something out of Dynasty- but less classy AND imagine my surprise when I discovered that the individual responsible for providing her with this monstrosity was the King of sensuality.... Cavalli himself. Just a total disaster. However, she has nowhere to go but up.... although I'm not sure if that's anything new. 

 

Is this the cutest thing you've ever seen?

I am pretty sure that this is pretty much the cutest thing that I have EVER seen. 

So it looks like an otter praying which is adorable.... In fact the otter was trying to protect a stone he had found from the grabby paws of yet another otter. Instead of letting the other otter take the stone out of him this pious little critter threw the stone up into the air and then was waiting to catch it on its descent when a waiting photographer grabbed this snap. I am in love. It is too epic for words. 

Kate Moss- still getting naked

Kate Moss proves that when you're a super model age ain't nothing but a number.... and the number (almost) 40 clearly isn't stopping her from getting her tits out, as she did (once again) this month on the cover of Another Man magazine. 

LiLo's transformation continues....

If this photo from yesterday is to be taken seriously then Lindsay's transformation into Victoria Gotti shows no signs of slowing down. In fact she appears to be turning into her at a rapid rate. What is with the bloated face though? I was hoping she was getting back on track but she looks like she's aged about 20 years. I fear that this is one comeback which may not happen..... unless she is attempting to mimic Elizabeth Taylor's renowned ability to pack on, and then quickly lose, the pounds- perhaps for the upcoming biopic- which don't even get me started about how I feel about Lindsay playing Elizabeth. Does anyone remember her sketchy English accent in Parent Trap?

CANNES FILM POSTER FEATURING MARILYN MONROE

Love it, I believe this woman who's been seeking the love of the other human beings during all her life, would be very moved by all the proofs of admiration and affection she keeps receiving!

Rosie, as she once was

After seeing Rosie Huntington Whiteley at the Oscars, as beautiful as she looked, I wanted to be reminded what she looked like before she was such a skinny mini- when she still had SOME (albeit not a lot) skin on her bones. Hence the inclusion of this editorial 'LA Woman' from the July 2011 edition of GQ UK. Shot by Simon Emmett I think Rosie looks gorgeous and a bit fuller figured (.... emphasis on A BIT!). 

Happy Birthday Paris!

How much fun does Paris Hilton's birthday look like it was?! And how awesome were the dresses?!

Kate Upton: fashion yawn

Kate Upton proves that I am not a complete bitch and that she is simply just dull as dirt. The woman is unbelievably boring in her fashion choices. Ps. If you couldn't tell- I'm not a fan. 

The people who inspired me...SEAN YOUNG

Beautiful, classy, intelligent and talented so talented...I remember watching the movies of this wonderful actress in my bedroom when I was a teenager, dreaming of cinema, dreaming of becoming an artist.
"A kiss before dying" (I used to watch this movie around twice a week), "Blade Runner", one the films behind my passion for science fiction,  "No way out". She can play anything and portray any kind of characters with an outstanding talent! She never failed to shine!

The film industry should never forget to be respectful towards the people who have the unique power to make a lonely child dream and hope for a better future.
Artists have this power and they are special beings. Sean Young is one of these unforgettable fairies who has accompanied my child dreams.

And now that I became this artist I wanted to be, I hope we'll cross paths on a beautiful project and many artistic ventures in the future.

Vanity Fair: Oscar Post Party

So my Oscar write up simply wouldn't be complete without a discussion of the looks on show at the Vanity Fair after party. There were some fabulous unexpected hits and then the milieu of average dresses.... 

Case in point Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise below. Here Katie is wearing Elie Saab and looks completely boring doing it. I wish her hair, jewellery or makeup had more of a pop because she just looks like she's swimming in a sea of blue. Particularly when standing new to Tom. A bright clutch or a bright belt would have been a necessary addition. I also felt like the top didn't quite fit well enough.... in fact it looks big on her. It could have been great I just wish she's rocked a bright lip, at a minimum. 

So here we have Irina Shayk.... and her boob. Ms. Shayk may have opted for a high cut dress; however, never one to disappoint her fans she made sure to flash a bit of skin by exposing some side boob action. The gown was designed by Abed Mahfouz, a renowned Lebanese fashion designed. I feel slightly bad for Mahfouz, this could have been his big Oscar moment- however, unfortunately the boob managed to overshadow his dress in terms of press attention. 

Alright now we have the sexy as hell Beckhams. Honestly, when I played with Ken and Barbie as a child this is what I was dreaming of. So her dress is of course by her from her latest collection. I am LOVING the belt action and I think the gown was gorgeous. The woman never shies away from colour so it was actually refreshing to see her in this lovely nude shade. She got a lot of flack because she didn't smile HOWEVER the woman never smiles. I think people just need to get over that. The smirk/ non- smile is her trade mark look and it looks fine. I think at this point everyone needs to drop the issue and embrace the smirk. Ms. Beckham also tweeted a picture from behind earlier in the evening and the dress looks amazing from every angle. 

For the Vanity Fair Oscar party Jennifer Lopez slipped into ANOTHER (inappropriate) Zuhair Murad gown. This one was worse then the first, in my opinion. I hated the 'lace' detailing on the back. Thought the front was just overly inappropriate, as it was even lower than the first dress. Which she had worn her hair loose and down to at least make the look somewhat natural. It was just horrible. Although the colour at the front was nice, I will give her that.  

Clare Danes was in probably one of my favourite dresses of the night. She looked absolutely stunning in Valentino. I always love her fashion picks but this was just feminine and whimsical and different and just perfect. I think if you're not nominated yourself  you should have to have fun with fashion in a way that is appropriate for someone who isn't nominated- namely, don't pick the most outrageous dress in the world but pick something that you wouldn't wear as a nominee. I think this is a great example of that. 

Rosie Huntington- Whitely was stunning in Antonio Berardi. She absolutely radiated in red. Although I will say that I would like her to try something less fitted at some point. I would love to see her in a full skirt and a strapless bodice. There's one thing you can't deny though- this woman is a super model. 

Minnie Driver was absolutely stunning. She was my unexpected favourite of the night. Just thought the dress was perfection. Age appropriate, perfect cut, perfect accessories- the earnings, the heels the clutch- just all amazing and I love the makeup- her lips are just perfection.

Cameron Diaz showed up to the after party wearing a dress that I far far preferred to her actual Oscar look. Rocking a bright orange Victoria Beckham frock Cameron looked fun, flirty and young. Exactly how she should look. I thought the dress was perfect and it was so nice to see her wearing two long dresses. I think she will make a classy transformation from bombshell action/ rom com actress to more mature roles.... albeit likely in the same kind of films. I thought this was perfect though, particularly with the short hair. 

Furthermore, love that Camren is showing her love for VB. This is the second time she has chosen to wear a Victoria Beckham dress to the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. The first was below in 2010. Love how different these looks are but how amazing she still looks regardless. 

I think this may be my favourite look of the night. It was fashion forward yet classy, age appropriate and absolutely stunning. It was Lilly Collins in Monique Lhuillier. I just absolutely loved everything about it and loved that it was Lhuillier. Looking at it I was absolutely sure that it was Marchesa but it was so nice to see her picking something slightly different from the usual grouping of young actor design favourites. 

Kate Bosworth looked amazing (although I wasn't completely sure whether it was appropriate for the Oscars after party); however, I loved this dress by Prabal Gurung and how much she let it take centre stage. The makeup and accessories were paired down and she just looked amazing. Have to say I would say she could gain a few pounds but the girl has looked like this for so long that I am almost willing to accept that this is actually her body type, as crazy as that sounds. 

Kate Hudson was looking phenomenal in vintage Versace. Can anyone believe she only gave birth a few months ago?! Perfection!!!!

Now we have Maria Sherapova. Slightly hit and miss here. Love that it's McQueen and I love the dress; however, I think that Maria is a bit too old and, dare I say, of a bit toooo athletic in regards of body type to pull of this ethereal baby doll design. 

Kate Upton continues to bore me. I have to stay I tried to embrace her with an open mind- realising that men and women don't always share the same ideas in regard to female beauty. However, I am going to just go out on a limb and say it- I don't find the woman attractive. Think she has TERRIBLE style and her boring and flabby arms and dull face (it's like a bad copy of Anna Nicole Smith) just bore me to tears. I have no idea who designed this dress but it was such a yawn they've done well not publicising it.  

Four top Oscar Fails

In terms of fashion fails I think this years Oscars was a fairly flop free. There were of course fashion misses HOWEVER non of them were epic. In fact I felt like after viewing the red carpet I was unscathed, un-offended and not overly repulsed. However, of course there were some misses. 

First off Camren Diaz. I felt like the colour was just slightly off, to be more specific I would have liked to have seen a color- rather than this putty tone. Moreover, I would have liked to see some more detail on the top of the dress. We all know that Ms. Diaz may possess a lot of assets (dazzling smile, great muscle tone and always a fabulous tan).... however bosoms is not one of them. I think some light ruching on the bust of mid section would have just made a huge difference. I would have also liked to have seen a different cut on the bust, perhaps more of a sweetheart neckline. Finally, wasn't a huge fan of the sequins and feathering on the bottom. Think it was all a bit dull and uninventive. In essence, considering this is Gucci couture I expected more- and I think we should expect more. 

So then next photos have been included for two reasons. Firstly because I think Diaz's dress looks even worse in action; and secondly, because Jennifer Lopez's Zuhair Murad dress is my second fail. Alright before the lynch mob hits Jennifer is a gorgeous and unbelievably sensual woman with an unbelievable body, particularly when considering that she's had TWINS! However, since her breakup with Marc Anthony I think that her style... which was always verging slightly too close too mutton dressed as lamb is now FULLY into mutton dressed as lamb territory. I am glad she went long (her silver American Music Awards dress was just FAAAAAR too short) BUT think the dress would have been nicer if it had resisted the inclusion of one of the following: the low cut neckline, the low back, the sheer detailing or the exposed upper arms- it was just all too much together. 

For my third worst dressed contender we have Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittenstock  who wore Akris. This look was just ALL wrong; however, it wasn't purely the fault of the designer. Charlene did herself no favours in terms of picking her hairstyle, makeup or jewellery... although obviously the dress itself was HORRIBLE (I would even go as far to say disgusting); however, at least it was in white... which somewhat downplayed the grossness. The hairstyle was just too severe, it aged her beyond belief. The earrings were horrible and it was just all too dull. Moreover, considering her broad shoulders the cut was cut a HUGE HUGE mistake. 

 Finally, we have Natalie Portman.... who may or may not have been wearing a wedding ring down the red carpet. However, what we do know for sure was that she was wearing a vintage Dior couture dress- which was awful. I felt that the red with black polka dots were all just a bit kitsch- it it was Zoey Deschanel I would have totally bought it but on Ms. Portman it just didn't work and frankly even if it was on someone more kitschy I thought it was just a bit boring. I do have to say however that I thought her hair, makeup and jewellery (in particular that AMAZING necklace). 

Bilson love.

So I love Rachel Bilson. I love her street style, her personality, the characters she plays- and lest I forget her hair. I have loved her since I first encountered her on the O.C. and almost a decade later I am STILL loving her as Doctor Zoe Hart on 'Hart of Dixie'. I loved the first eleven episodes of the show and I look forward to when I don't have the slowest internet in the whole world (when it works) so I can download the rest! As Zoe Hart Bilson shows us a type of style totally different from that of Summer or her own. Zoe Hart's style is totally New York, lots of black, leather and short skirts and shorts- it's adorable and oh so fun. However, loved seeing her in this month's edition of Lucky magazine looking age appropriate AND in colour, so much fun!
