Phantom's Selfie

This isn't a real blog post, but I just had to share my kitty, Phantom's recent selfie on Oscar night.  While he didn't win any Oscars that night as you can see, he had a lot of fun mingling with the stars.

I wasn't invited.

I Know It's A Little Late But Here's My Oscar Favs and The Not So Much Favs

I know I'm a little late doing a post on the Oscar's last night, but I've been tired all day, my legs are sore and I'm a little bit crampy.  So I apologize and I almost didn't post this out because of the lateness, but then I decided why the heck not.  It's my blog.  It's random.  I have a touch of ADD.  I can procrastinate if I want to procrastinate.  Besides, I worked out twice today and got a lot of things done around the house even though what I really needed was a nap.

First, here's all my favorites and yes, I'm including Jennifer Anniston's red Valentino gown even though I don't wear red that much.  I love the shade,  I think it looks great on her and I love the full skirt.  

Here are some more of my favs...

If you didn't love Jennifer Lawrence before she tripped up the stairs as she was going to get her Oscar, you surely love her now.  I love this look on her.  Very pretty Dior gown!

I love this one on Charlize Theron too.  Peplum's may not be such a bad thing after all!

My overall favorite was this sparkly Armani dress worn by Naomi Watts.  This would be my choice if I was up for an Oscar nominee.  I'm not holding my breath or anything.

Below are some of my not so favorites although I don't hate them.

This blush pink Prada gown worn by Anne Hathaway was just plain boring to me from the front.  The back was much more interesting, but by the time I saw the back I was almost asleep from boredom.

And another boring one.   She's gorgeous, but the look, "Yawn."

I have always thought Halle Berry was great, but this dress just didn't do it for me.  It actually was kind of scary looking, but there were other dresses much worse.

Like this one....

There were others I didn't really like, but I would rather put gowns I love on my blog so I'm finished for now.  I'm going to go ice my legs.

What was your favorite?

My Favorite Oscar Night Fashions

Last night The Murph gave up control of the tv remote so I could watch all the fashion at the Oscars.  My favorite dress of the night was the white, sparkly Elie Saab dress worn by Milla Jovovich.  I would love to wear that as my wedding dress.  Beautiful!  However, I already have a Reem Acra dress picked out that is very, very nice too.   I liked Cameron Diaz's Gucci dress and Angelina's black Versace.  Those three were my top picks of the night.  Too bad we couldn't see a little more shoe action.  Would love to have seen more shoes.

All the talk today has been on Angelina's right leg and J Lo's nip slip.  I love Angelina, but I did think that walk was a little strange and the sticking out leg pose thing was odd.  As for J Lo, I liked her dress and the designer stated that there was no slippage, just an optical allusion.  I don't know...  looked like slippage to me, but just a slight hint of slippage.  The leg and the slippage were the most exciting things that happened last night unless you count the kiss George gave Billy. You can follow Angelina's leg and J Lo's nips on Twitter now if that's something you would want to do.  I'll pass.

I was really excited about Alabama native, Octavia Spencer winning supporting actress for her role in "The Help".  I loved the book and the movie and was thrilled that a fellow Alabamian won the Oscar last night.  I liked her dress too, although it wasn't a style I personally would wear.   Tonight we're back to Hockey.  Go New York Rangers!  (that's for the Murph)

Also, great news from The Boy from college.  He made a B+ on his English paper and a 93 in his Information Technology class.  Could he possibly make a 3.7 GPA this semester?  I sure hope so!  He is working on a speech for his public speaking class now.  He skyped me a couple of hours ago trying to con me into doing the outline for him.  Sorry, but he is very capable of doing it on his own.  I always help by proofreading, but that's about it.  He is has become a very good writer this year after spending most of high school struggling with writing.  Or maybe just trying to get somebody else to do it for him...
