Congrats to Monique

Hey there guys, I survived the Oscars last night lol.Congrats goes out to Monique for winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress! Woot! I’ve never watched the whole show in my life but with the help of twitter, my friends kept me amused. It’s so funny to see all these huge celebrities come on the red carpet to then see them just never get it quite right.If I had half the coins these stars had, I would be soo sharp! Maybe it’s just me but I really didn’t see anything that really stood out!

Maybe I had to be on the carpet up close and personal, to really see the sparkle in the dresses lol. Most people looked like they just pulled something out of the closet and said, heck I will wear this! I would have pulled out all the stops if I was nominated but most stars were just plain and boring looking. I do not have a fav dress this time around maybe you do,chime in!

I guess this was the best dress I saw on the carpet. Sandra Bullock’s Marchesa gown.

Amanda was sparkly but washed out looking in Armani Prive

Zoe in Couture Givenchy hated this! It was doing too much!

Queen Latifah looks fab!

Caterine Bigelow congrats, gown nice!

Diane Kruger what is this hot mess? I hear couture chanel hmm

I’m not loving Penelope’s dress, maybe the Donna Karan was better looking in person

Sarah Jessica Parker in couture Chanel, dress ok hair disaster!

Mariah Carey please fire your stylist omg! This was Valentino?

Charlize Theron this dress was fine, until they added the cinnamon rolls!

Sigorney Weaver your doing way too much pick an accessory, Lanvin gown

Demi gets a thumb up! Atelier Versace

Myley Cyrus looks uncomfortable in this,Jenny Packam did you make this for her lil sis?

Vera Farmiga looks very nice.

Does David’s Bridal loan out dresses? I’m just asking lol

JLo I’m straddling the fence, I’m not sure.

Tina Fey looks great, just hate her hairstyle!

Gabby, my mouth is ducked taped!

Kicking it in Los Angeles part 2

Malibu

The next day while visiting Los Angeles we all got up and headed out to sight see again. Ms. Steph and I  took a drive to Malibu. Lots of celebrities live in Malibu and as we were driving, I was admiring the condos/houses. I saw a pink n purple one that was too cute. These houses by the ocean were very pretty but very expensive. In Atlanta our homes are soo big compared to the houses that I was seeing and we pay way less. I guess it’s all about the location, I didnt get that lol.

Ms. Steph and I kicking it in Malibu

So we went to country mart where they had alot of lil gift shops and boutiques and restaurants. It was very sunny and pretty outside. Ms.Steph and I spotted an actors and director while people watching on the bench. I first saw spikey haired Brian Grazer who directed and produced soo many movies. He has won academy awards too. We then saw actor Dermott Mulroney who starred in The Wedding Date and other movies. He was playing with his kids.

While at the mart we also saw this cute lil haute dog dressed in pink, being strolled by her owner. I laughed so hard. The dog was wearing pink shades and a pink cowboy hat. How fun was that!

Haute Dog in all her pinkness,how cute!

Later that day before I had to cover the red carpet for Niecy Nash B-day party, we stopped by a place called, Beard Papas. I was thinking that’s a strange name but once I saw what is was, I was in heaven. I guess Beard Papas is the hottest bakery in Los Angeles now because I got tweets to try this place. Ms. Steph and J.D. swore by it. When I tried their eclairs they were simply delish. I always have to stop by and add one food spot that I visited each day. Loved it!

FIDM Museum

We also stopped by www.fidmmuseum.org. There they had an exhibit for Hollywood 2010: The Art of Motion Picture Costume Design. It’s on display till April 17th. It was so fun to look at the clothing worn by all those actors.It was over 100 costumes and two dozen of last year’s movies, such as The Young Victoria, Star Trek, Julie & Julia, An Education, Nine, Broken Embraces, and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. I couldn’t believe how small Ben Stiller pants were lol. I also saw costumes from, Night of the Museum and Sherlock Holmes. Mostly all the actors are extremely small and short. We were not able to film or take pics, I was not happy argh! Well seeing all of these things were soo much fun,shout out to J.D. and Ms.Steph for showing me around!

Controversial Akoo Ad

Akoo Billboard

I was on the phone earlier today talking with Drexina Nelson about the Akoo Ad that she shot. She told me that she didn’t understand what all the controversy was about lol. She said when she shot the ad that she asked the female models were they comfortable and everyone seemed to be ok with it. Well supposedly people in Newark, NJ are in an uproar about the Akoo billboard in their area. Well, I am for one, a huge fan of Drexina’s work. She is all about empowering women and that’s something that she always believes in.

Photographer Drexina Nelson

She has shot me several times and I know she has always put women in the best of light. As an artist and photographer you always want to do the best work for your clients, and she was paid to capture Akoo’s vision. Akoo was the creative director behind the shoot and personally I don’t see what the big fuss is all about. She is artistic and an innovator, in photography you always want to capture the moment. Calvin Klein and Dolce Gabbana have done worse ads, and don’t let me get on some of the magazine covers,their models are damn near butt naked, don’t get me  started lol. It’s funny how some people get so upset about some things and then turn around and do something else just as bad. That’s America for you and whatever happen to freedom of speech? That is all!
