Sorry for the delay in my annual Oscar blogocast ... long boring story involving a minor family crisis (ehem) and also forgetting to set the entry to "Public." Forget it, let's get down to the important stuff: Angelina Jolie's leg, Ryan Seacrest's suit, Billy Crystal's incredible tale- ... whoa, couldn't keep a straight face there. Just kidding. The movies! The fashion! The woefully incomplete tribute slideshow! Can you stand the suspense any longer? Click, my friend, click.
( the awards, the presenters, the movies ... )
( ... and now for the real drama! )
See y'all next year! ... for Awards Season that is.
Stay tuned for my Best and Worst Movies of 2011 entry - imminently!!

There were only two things with noting about this year’s Grammys.
( hint: for once, one wasn't lady gaga )
Red Carpet Roundup
( more gaga wannabes, too much skin, and a whole lotta whacko )

Come on, you can't resist that "saggy" pun, can you?? Here's my best and worst (fabbest and saggiest) from this year's Screen Actors' Guild awards, only the completely awesome and completely atrocious! A reminder: you can't act your way out of a bad gown!

Crap Movies: Water for Elephants
Okay, so it wasn't as bad as some of the movies I'm putting on my upcoming "Best and Worst Movies of 2011" list. However, it was a decidedly mediocre film with a tepid love story and a gimmick to carry it through the box offices - that and Robert Pattinson. Hey, it worked for Twilight ...

Episode 3: “Do you think I can sex up Miss Piggy?”
( find out how a pig feels about wearing giraffe ... and glitter ... and polka dots )
Episode 4: "...and Michael's hyperventilating."
( 6-hour taste-walk )
Well, I'm thinking next week may be my last Project Runway post. I'm not quitting the show, I still want to see Micheal's face implode and Mondo's awesome designs, not to mention what publicity stunt will happen next - I just don't feel like writing about it anymore. But I've got a lot on my plate as far as work, artistic projects, and blog threads, and I think the PRAS posts have the least to do with my serious areas of ambition as far as blogging/reviewing goes. Sorry to leave you hanging in the middle, but if I'm being honest, this blog is for me, not my 3-ish readers. Want to talk me out of it? *bid for attention* JK. Make your peace, kids - I've got plenty to write about with awards season, Better than Twilight, all the fashion lines, and so many great (and terrible) movies floating around out there. xoxo

Betsey Johnson to Manish Arora
Anyone who knows fashion knows there's a lot of fantastically weird stuff out there - it's a problem of deciphering the art from the clothing, the completely editorial from the possibly street. That's why I invented the "Wearability Quotient," which really hasn't much to do with math except that I put a rough percentage on how much of each particular over-the-top collection you could wear in good taste. Feel free to disagree with me - tons of celebrities evidently do! - but it's an important question to keep in mind: how much of fashion can be for art's sake, and how much must actually be wearable by the average woman? With that in mind, enjoy the most outlandish, tacky-chic, and possibly artistically transcendant of the season.
( I'm dreaming of maui, swans, dalmations, and acid )
