Best Dressed at Met Costume Gala 2011

So I know that I already did my last post before I leave, but I just couldn't help myself from posting my favorites pics from last night's Met Gala. Swoon. The ladies looked lovely and I thought there were only a few WTFs.

I also wanted to thank everyone again for all your love and support about the wedding! It's been incredible and I really appreciate each email, text, FB message and tweet!

I loved the ladies in gold (or nude, whatevs)!! SJP and Blake Lively rarely ever look bad, they know how to do a red carpet event right everytime. Little Hailee Steinfeld is on her way too. I know Iman is a little out there and may not be on everyone's best dressed list, but I think she killed it in that outfit. It makes me think that's how a superhero would dress for a night on the town.

Red hot ladies! What sealed the deal with me with the Mary-Kate is her beachy hair. I love. The Glee ladies looked lovely as well.

Brooklyn looks divine in this color. Her hair is really growing on me!

Ok, for reals ladies. How old-school glamour does Florence look?? I love it.

Who were your favorites?

GQ "Glee Gone Wild" photoshoot, is it really THAT big of a deal??

Maybe you haven't heard the buzz yet, but GQ did a recent layout of "Glee Gone Wild" where three of the characters; Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, and Dianna Agron are photographed as sexed up versions of their characters.
The shoot has been seen as "borders on pedophilia," by The Parents Television Council because they play high schoolers on the popular show. Dianna and Lea have both apologized for the shoot (read People's report of it here and here), but I don't think they need to apologize. The actors are adults, the shoot is for a men's magazine not a teen bopper one, and although I love the show- it's not really a "family" show for all ages. There is a lot of talk about sex, adult jokes, and sexual dancing. I mean come on PTC!!

Ok, so here are the pictures from the shoot (from here). what are your thoughts?

Are the pictures racy? Yes. Are they nude? No. If you don't want your children seeing the pictures, parent your child and don't buy them an adult magazine, set parental rules on the computer, etc. and if your children do see the photos and have questions or feelings about it then TALK to them for crying out loud.

Tell me readers, is the shoot too much? Should the girls apologize? What about Cory?

Review: Glee Season 1

Over the weekend, my sister and I were both home sick so we decided to take advantage of our time and watch the first season of Glee. I had wanted to watch it from the beginning, but forgot to Tivo it and then fell 5 episodes in before I realized it wasn't on demand. Boo hoo. So I've been dying for it to come out for rent so I could catch up before it starts again April 13 after a 4 month hiatus.

I must say that I don't know how I lived before Glee. Yes, I know that's over exaggerating, but the show is unlike anything else and amazing. The cast is excellent, there's somebody for everyone. They all look different, dress different, and have different interests, but are still friends. Although there are some beauties and hunks on the show, it's believable that they're high school students.

Another thing that Glee has that separates it from other shows is how upbeat it is. It is quite impossible to feel down when listening to show tunes and up beat songs everyone knows and loves such as "Don't Stop Believing", "Single Ladies", or "Bust A Move". One of the creators, Ryan Murphy, explains why the show is a success: he intended the show to be a form of escapism, explaining: "There's so much on the air right now about people with guns, or sci-fi, or lawyers running around. This is a different genre, there's nothing like it on the air at the networks and cable. Everything's so dark in the world right now, that's why Idol worked. It's pure escapism." (found here). Watching Glee is heart-warming with a little bit of fun drama, but it reminds you of what it's like to be in high school, to still have your whole life ahead of you, and how the journey is to find yourself. Plus, it's really funny as well as entertaining without being super cheesy like 7th Heaven or something.

For fun, here are some fun facts about the show:

• Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt Hummel, left such an impression on the creators that they developed his character just for him because he didn't fit into any role they had currently written.
• Mark Salling (Noah "Puck" Puckerman) auditioned with a mohawk for the part to stand out, and it worked! However, he's sick of having it but has to keep it for the show.
• Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams) is reportedly the best dancer of the cast, but his character is a paraplegic and he doesn't get to show of his moves.
• Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) reportedly had never sang before the show, but just went for it anyways. For his audition, he sent in a video of himself playing "drums" with a set of Tupperware and glasses, but he does play in real life as well
• Amber Riley (Mercedes Jones) was rejected from American Idol, thank goodness though because Glee wouldn't be the same without her character.

PS- The soundtrack is amazing! I've listened to it all week on my drive to and from work!

SAG Recap

Here are my best dressed at the 2010 SAG Awards, there were lots of lovely ladies, but here are my "Ican'tstopstaringtheylooksogorgeous" picks;


Kate Hudson was gorgeous in this sexy dress! We all know how I love winter white and Kate has been rocking it all season long.


Lea Michele is becoming one of my fashion inspirations so quickly. She has yet to disappoint me on the red carpet. This shade of green is divine on her and her hair is making me green with envy.


Anna Paquin surprised me with this little number and I just adore it! It's short, sexy, and ready to take on spring. Plus, I love her shoes.


Kyra Sedgwick looks heavenly in this white number and I'm really loving her hair and lipstick.


Diane Kruger can do no wrong, she always looks fabulous.


Dianna Aragon is radiant in this white and black number with her bold lipstick. She looks so beautiful here.

Now onto the worst dressed as my friend and reader Kristie suggested.


Meryl Streep, although I love her and think she looks great, she shouldn't have worn this to an awards show. Sorry girl!


Tina Fey, this is so boring- even for you. Although she's never wowed me, I do believe Tina can definitely do better than this.


Sofia Vergara, this is not homecoming 2001 sister. Step up your game.

Nicole Kidman, first I can't believe this is an Oscar de la Renta dress, but I really dislike this on her. It just doesn't seem like her style to me, but would have been better on someone with more of a boho style like Sienna Miller.

Winter white was huge for this awards show, I didn't even show all the fabulous dresses there were! Also, I'm glad that there were more bright colors on the red carpet, it's a sure sign that spring and summer are on their way! Overall, I think every one's hair and makeup looked great. Even the simple looks were stunning. A big trend I'm still seeing is a bold lip color and it's really easy to try. You may be a bit shy, but you're probably just not used to seeing yourself with lip color on. Try it and I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised!
