Emmys 2011

It was hard to watch the Emmys Red Carpet and the Emmys last night with two small children in the house. I had to watch bits and pieces and didn't complete the show until today. And this is with a lot of forwarding! I think Award Season will be easier since Bradley will be over 6 months (right??!).
Anyways, my favorite dresses were Sofia Vergara and Evan Rachel Wood wearing Vera Wang and Elie Saab, respectively. Sofia can wear anything and look fabulous. Evan has the porcelain skin that works well with the dark, glittery dress she chose.
Modern Family won a lot of well deserving awards. I can't wait for that and Glee to start up this week.

Oscar Recap- Best Dressed/Worst Dressed

This is long overdue.

My favorite was Cameron Diaz. I'm not usually a fan of gold sparkles, but it worked. I didn't see her on the red carpet, but I noticed her beautiful dress as she was presenting an award. Here is her Oscar de la Renta gown:



And my runner-up is Kristen Stewart. I am not a fan of hers, but I did love her Monique Lhuillier gown. I also liked her hairstyle- young and fresh, very age-appropriate.



Charlize Theron was the worst dressed. This is a fact.

Award Season

Someone reminded me that the golden globe nominations just came out. That means that Award Season is coming very soon! I love watching the red carpet fashion (or mishaps), the actual show, and then follow up on msn the next day to hear the critics rehash everything- the speeches, the winners, etc. Sometimes, I'll even watch the best/worst dressed show on E, but usually just for the Oscars. While Michigan's weather goes from bearably cold to unbearably cold, it's nice to have something to look forward to from Jan-March! And with Tivo, watching has been so much better because then I can forward all the stupid interviews with has-been actors and speeches with boring categories (um film editing??)!

One of my favorite dresses from last year's Academy Awards was a Balmain gown that Penelope wore. Beautiful!

Britney Concert

The Britney concert was last Tuesday and it was one of the best concert performances I have seen. I like how Britney's show is just that - a show. Her singing is secondary and it's the special effects, costumes, and dancing that make it spectacular. Fans don't have to know most of the songs to enjoy the concert, which means you don't have to be a die hard fan. The theme of the concert was a circus just like the name of her album. Throughout the show, there were tightrope walkers, jugglers, clowns, and amazing acrobatics. They found very talented individuals to flip around and balance dozens of hula hoops around their torsos! It made me want to see cirque de soleil or go to the circus. Val, Allysen and I took a bunch of pictures off our phones. I have never downloaded pictures from my phone to my computer so I need to figure that out before I can post them. I turned the internet feature off on my phone so I wouldn't get charged for accessing it so I think I need to find my bluetooth cable that came with the phone. The picture I found online shows the 3 ring circus set-up.

Brit Tics

I got great Britney tickets, woot! We got 5th row on the lower level, behind the floor seats. (Floor seats are over $300!)

I wonder if Baby will like listening to Britney songs to put him to sleep these next few months?? haha j/k.

Any Britney Fans?

Eek! She's bringing her Circus tour back to the US and performing at the Palace on Sept 8! I know I'm a little too old to go to pop/rock concerts, but I've been a longtime Britney fan and have yet to go to a Britney concert. Tickets go on sale June 19th.
