The Emmy's Red Carpet: My take on it

Well kids I am once again to give my take on fashion at these award shows and well kids many of you know last night was the Grammy's and I just loved the opening sequence. I am also happy that it seemed so very "gay friendly".  Well unto the fashion........

Ok kids, Christina Hendrick in Zac Posen Resort 2011.  Kids, I am not sure about this one at all.  The color of her dress with her hair seems all too wrong, while the ostrich feathers as the trim seem too dainty and too delicate for her more "full figure", but than maybe its me.  Not a hit, not a miss more of a snooze if you ask me. I am sure I may here differently from all of you but it is just my opinion.

Ok now everyone here knows I am a HUGE Project Runway fan oh dahlink's Heidi Klumm missed the mark big time.  With scores of designers to choose from, a show about fashion taste and up and coming fashion talent this is a big time MISS.  First off I love the fact that Heidi is showing leg but honey if that dress was any shorter "you would be showing off the good china" as Project Runway contestant Peach would say.  Sweetie, "your gay" should realize you are not a kid anymore and a mother of at least 3 kids I believe, while the necklace is way overpowering and the hair and makeup is overdone.  Sorry Heidi, love you but your out on this one, you should have known better.

Ok, Jane Lynch is wearing Ali Rahmi.  As Sue Sylvester we love to hate her but at first glance it was "OH MY GAWD I love this" than I saw the bottom of it.  "Her gay" should be slapped silly because he forgot the iron.  Child honestly if it weren't for the wrinkling/puckering or whatever was going on at the bottom of this I would adore this beyond words.  So for me this is NEAR HIT but with an outfit malfunction.  One a personal note I adore that Jane had the hutzpah to thank "her wife" from the stage.  Makes me love you even more Jane besides to quote Kathy Bates from "Delores Clayborn" ..... "Sometimes being a bitch is the only thing you have to hang on to"---my point power to the bitches myself included .

Oh dahlinks, where does one begin when perfection is reached.  Kathy Griffin, girl we love ya, honestly "your gay" should be seriously applauded.  The dress by the way is Oscar de la Renta.  This is where the whole "his/her gay" came from.  It takes an army of gay men in fashion, hair and makeup to make the stars shine and Kathy realizes that, embraces us and loves us for it.  Now I know some have bashed ala Griffin for this look but this gay LOVES IT and her foul mouth and all.  By the way if you have the extra coins kids, Kathy is coming the first part of September to the Cleveland Playhouse.

Oh dalinks last one for me and it is the vocal songstress diva Lea Michele.  Oh my, when I first saw her I was like who the hell is that that?  Then of course they got to talking "Glee" and I was like OH MY GAWD she is all grown up.  Of course Lea is 24 playing a kid in high school but this look made her a little more mature in my opinon and I just ADORE it.  "Her gay" should get an award .  She is wearing Oscar de la Renta as well and honey it works for her.  Well until next time I am so glad we had this time together.

I know its been a few days again since posts but life somehow got out of hand. I have been depressed the last few days which has really stood in my way and I really didn't feel like blogging. Because than I would have to admit to it, which would mean writing about and I hate being a "Gloomy Gladys".

Today I paid the balance for my three fall classes that my Pell Grant doesn't cover. So I can't wait for classes to start and to be back on campus.

There seems to be so much happening in the fashion world right now I want to try to cover some of the "hottest" topics in my opinion. Again just this gay guys opinions and god knows this "gurl" can be opinionated !

Vogue Italia the August 2010 issue has what many feel is a way to controversial photo shoot. Its called "Oil and Water" and before I get in to my thoughts on this I want to show you the pictures...

OK, with the Gulf Coast Oil Tragedy still very fresh in all of our minds, and the actual real damage done to the water, the land, the habitat, the animals this is the HOTTEST topic still in many circles. At least in my mind. While many find the pictures disturbing and "in very poor taste", I find the pictures graphically real and brutally honest. I also find that it blatently addresses the "overall lack of true emotional regret" that BP had in regards to this issue and until overall corporate gives a f*&k about us the consumer this tragedy or something even worse will happen again.  Ok I am off my soap box.  I am so glad we had this time together---until next time

So graphic that it just skims the surface of the overall real tragedy of this catastrophe. While incredibly beautiful and alarming creepy this makes fashion very relevant and brings a very stark and honest light to this issue of this specific tragedy. Sometimes, someone has to come a long and slap us right across the face with an issue and this is the case here, I applaud that tremendously. Bravo Vogue Italia.
