MtV Movie Awards: Red Carpet Part 3

The Queen Betty White and the adorable Bradley Cooper. This is how you do casual dress guys!

Sandra Bullock's Oday Shakar sequined dress is beautiful as was her speech (even though no one thought for a second she was going anywhere.)

I like Amanda Seyfried's sheer dress but she's looking a little scrawny. Where'd her curves go?

Even uber-hot Rob can't get away with a sloppy white tee, a SHORTER black jacket and khakis. He needs to take some cues from Taylor.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry are going to have the hottest wedding in the world.

I heart Paul Rudd. One time, I went by his apartment in the East Village and he was there...with his wife and I ran.

Cute jumpsuit on Elizabeth Reaser but the annoying hair!

iCarly! Miranda Cosgrove looks so cute and age appropriate and her legs look a mile long in nude heels.

I actually don't mind this dress on Stephanie Pratt. It's kind of on-trend and fun. I'm imagining what it would look like on someone without horrible extensions and a fake tan.

I don't know why but I just don't get Jessica Biel. I DO get her super cute Giambattista Valli dress. Also, her hair is very shiny. I wonder what she uses.

MTV Movie Awards: Red Carpet Part 2

Confession: I squeal when I see Zac Efron! Sigh. Vanessa Hudgens' Jenny Packham dress looks almost exactly like what I wear to bed. You're Zac's GF (or beard.) Step it up.

OK, the positive? This crazy Pamella Roland jumpsuit is covering her SCRAM anklet. At least she's not showing it off! I just don't get who lets her go out like this. Lindsey, I miss you!

Breaking News!! I found a picture of Kristen Stewart smiling! It's easy to forget that she's actually really pretty. I love the Dolce and Gabbana dress on her and the ponytail is super cute. Obviously, I still hate her. (Did you see the way Rob was looking at her?!!?)

MTV Movie Awards: Red Carpet Part 1

Remember when the MTV Movie Awards were a huge deal? It was always on Sunday night and I always stayed up way too late and was so tired on Monday. Now, it's pretty boring (or I'm pretty old.) There is the beautiful Robert Pattinson (although I AM Team Jacob) and Christina and Katy performances. There's also the clothes! It's MTV so I love to see people get a little crazy. Let's take a look at some of the first arrivals.

BEST DRESSED maybe? I'm obsessed with this Zac Posen dress on Anna Kendrick. The shoes rock with it but I'm not feeling the hair. It's supposed to be bed-head and it looks really dirty.

Whenever I see Scarlett Johansson looking amazing, in Dolce and Gabbana, it makes me want to go back blonde. Stunning!

I LOVE Nikki Reid's Miu Miu dress and her two-toned hair is so pretty.

Hottie Mark Salling could have tried a harder. The Superdry shirt is cute but it IS a red carpet, man. Dress up a little.

YES. Thanks Christina for bringing a little MTV crazy. Her chain-linked dress in Versace Atelier.



*Thanks Just Jared for the awesome pictures!*

Nail Polish on Guys: Hot or Not?


I'm seeing more and more men wearing nail polish. I'm not talking about punk rock 14 year olds. I'm talking seriously hot guys, like True Blood actor and Calvin Klein model Mehcad Brooks (above.) The rules are as follows: 1. No pastel colors. 2. No toenail polish. 3. Keep them very short and clean. 4. There are no rules if you are 4 years old!

Urban Outfitters Not-So-Secret Conservative Ways

It's really disappointing when you find out that a company you frequently give money to, for lack of a better word, sucks. When I learned more about Whole Foods' asshole president, I boycotted as long as I could. I eventually gave in but almost always choose Trader Joe's instead. We do the best we can as consumers. It seems like every other day something more icky comes out about Urban Outfitters. I'm not ignorant; I don't actually think UO is a super respectable company, but come on. Have you seen the new "Eat Less" tee-shirt? Urban has taken it off the website but according to Huffingtonpost.com they can be found at many NYC stores. I know they are trying to be ironic and "cool" but it's a little gross, right? I personally don't think it's funny and I tend to think a lot of inappropriate things are funny.

This is just one of a list of sketchy things UO is pulling. The Frisky was one of the first media outlets reporting on the company using "Obama/Black" to describe a color of a shirt. Eew.


Through The Frisky I also learned about Urban's lack of support for marriage equality and their misogynistic men's tee.

What are your thoughts? Will any of these things make you shop at UO any less? Do you at all now? Vote in my poll!

GRRRRRR



I'm sure you've heard about the things said about this commercial by the evil Bill O'Reilly. If you haven't, I refuse to post his video but in a nutshell, via examiner.com:

"Does that make you hungry when you watch that?" he asked repeatedly. "Does it make you run out and want some fries?" When she pointed out to him that the ad is part of a broader campaign with the slogan "Venez comme vous etes"--which translates as "Come as you are"--he asked if McDonald's will also be airing an Al Qaeda ad.

First of all, as much as I hate O' Reilly, I still think he should be legally allowed to say these awful things. That being said, this scumbag is comparing gays to Al Qaeda. For real. I get what he's saying; the commercial doesn't make a lot of sense selling fast food. It doesn't matter though, because McDonald's ads are not really about selling food. Everyone knows what they're getting into when they eat there. They are trying to sell a better image in the free-range-organic-eco-friendly 2010 world. Is this commercial amazing and ground breaking? No, but it's a start. I mean, France doesn't have marriage or adoption equality but at least one company is attempting some change.

So what now? What does our generation do about Bill O'Reilly's comments (other than tweet about it?) Stop watching his show, listening to his podcasts...what else? Don't you think if a news person said these things about a race of people there would be a major uproar?

Back to Brooklyn


I had a great time with my mom and grandma this week in St. Louis. That's why I've been a bit MIA. It felt really good to get out of the city and lay around watching all of season 3 of Friday Night Lights (Ah.Ma.Zing) and go suburban shopping. I got exciting deals at Kohl's (I have a Simply Vera obsession: see above dress) and all the thrift stores. My mom knows about some seriously awesome spots.

My grandma thinks I'm a little crazy but she loves me :)

My mom is wearing her Mother's Day present from yours truly with a really cool handmade ring that she bought both of us.

This sweet little creature and her sister caused me to take a whole box of Benedryl. I was drugged the whole trip! Stupid allergies. But I love animals.

Did you do anything over the holiday weekend? Staycation or did you get out of town?
