A night no fashionista can turn down

Monday nights annual Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala’s theme was “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy”. My fantasy would be to get a freaking ticket lol. Either that or a ticket to another one of Plies “Bust it Baby” try-outs. You know, which ever comes first.

Beyonce went with the “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mermaid fit dress that she always looks great in, but can retire for a new look. Her jewelry is gorgeous though, I can only imagine what that wedding ring looks like. Also, I think any baby rumors can be put to rest unless she is wearing one hell of a corset.

I looooovvvvveeee Christina Ricci’s dress…it looks part couture part pin up girl….me likey.

This look is a major upgrade from this picture of Christina “Can’t Get Anything Past Me” Ricci that was floating around last week.

Call it the girly side of me(yes the cynical side left a little room for a girly side) but I love dresses like Eva Longoria’s. They seem so fitting for events like this.

Thandie Newton channeled Halle Berry’s ability to look flawless, I almost thought it was Halle. Speaking of Halle, when are we going to see that baby!

I have no idea how Jennifer Lopez lost that baby weight but dammit she better give up the secret so when I have a baby I can bounce back as quick as she did. Only Jennifer can pop out twins and still give her signature, “Yes I am that bitch” look on a red carpet months apart.

Oh Anna Winthrop, playing in Tina Turner’s Mad Max costume left overs is not the business.

I would pay good money (Five dollars) to see the inside of Karl Lagerfeld’s closet. I may be  reaching on this, but I can guess that colors like….well hell colors are no where to be found.  When…when…when is there going to be a movie on him? I have got to see behind the scenes of the man that says things like this(I love this man).

As I have said many times before, I love Victoria Beckham for her swag alone so no surprise that I’m feeling this look. It reminds me of Marlene Dietrich and Old Hollywood. And that David….let me stop and remind myself he is married.

The Olsen twins….I’m tired of asking what the fuss is. They have their moments, but they are few and far between at this point to me. I like Ashley’s dress, but would like it on someone with a little more curves more. And Mary-Kate, I’m just tired of this child. Maybe it’s just the fit on her because it’s really not that bad, but it’s not that good either.

I usually love the Dora the Explorer hair cut (hell I’m rocking one of my own right now) but Katie “Creepy” Holmes just seems off to me. I love the color of her dress, but those blue shoes, I would have rather seen her in open toed shoes.

Gisel is all smiles—-and should be, she is worth $150 million.

The Countdown is on for the Sex and the City Movie

“Old New York, new New York, it’s still f—–g New York!”~Carrie from the Sex and the City movie

Well old Sex and the City, new Sex and the City, it better be f—–g Sex and the City or else me and all the other die hard Sex and the City fans will be as disappointed as Mariah Carey three months from now after listening to Nick Cannons jokes day in and out.

I don’t know if I should be proud of this or not, but from the middle of Season One, I watched every episode of Sex and the City on the original air night. The only time I was deaf, dumb and mute to anyone trying to talk to me was for 30 minutes straight for six years every Sunday night. To this day, I can watch any given episode with no problem, so looking forward to the movie somewhat explains how excited I will be on May 30th.

I was worried that the movie would be a bit predicable, but was relieved to read this quote from Sarah Jessica Parker as well as this review from The New York Daily News.

In the age of sequels, I wouldn’t even be mad at the girls if they came out with another movie in the future (look at me being greedy before the first is even released). If I had it my way, I would be able to see Samantha as the old woman in booty shorts trying to get into the club, Carrie needing her 10th hip replacement from still trying to wear heels at the age of 79 (why do I have a feeling this will be me), Charlotte rocking pearls, a Chanel tweed suit and the latest bag while play Bingo at a Nursing Home for WASPs, and Miranda as the happily married woman that after 50 years still has yet to be seen in public showing affection to her husband.

I’m hoping that the movie will not be for the general audience and but for the fans. What I mean by that is that in college I was able to turn anyone that would give me 30 minutes of their time into a fan of the show by making them watch any given episode where Samantha said things like, “Hi, I need something that will make a guy cum in his pants as soon as he sees me”.

While each episodes witty quotes and shock factor of seeing things like Miranda getting…ummm….remembrances from a good hand job literally ejaculated into her hair never got old, the thing that made me fall for the show was how much it touched on things that women, and men could relate to. Although the actual way that things occured may only happen in Sex and the City world (for instance the fact that Carrie owned all those Manolo’s on a writes salary) could be questioned, for the most part topics like friendemies and “He’s Just Not That Into You” put into perspective how in tune the show was and how it will be just as relevant as Cosmopolotians, Birkin Bags and Carrie’s signature name plate necklace were to the show.

Although I am against bootlegging, I can’t lie….I will have a bootleg copy of this movie after I see it in the theaters lol. Check out one of my favorite scenes between Aidan and Carrie.

Did Eddie Murphy Snatch 50 Cent’s Chain?

Click here for the video of 50 getting gotcha bitch

While performing in Africa, 50 Cent got his chain straight snatched on stage. I don’t know who that was laughing in the background but it sounded mighty close to Eddie Murphy. I kept waiting for whoever was laughing to start yelling out, “Half 50! I want half! What have you done for me lately 50? I was butt naked on a Zebra last month 50…now I want half!”

Instead of snatching his chain I wish someone would have snatched 50’s eyebrows. Did he mess with a bad batch of botox or is that his “given them sexy” look. I’m going to go with botox.

Anyways, with all of this chain snatching talk, I think I have found a way to get all the shoes I have been lusting after. While men snatch chains, I’m about to start bum rushing stages and snatching shoes. Starting with these….I plan to sneak up from underneath Alicia’s piano next time she performs in these lovelies. Hopefully she is a 7 1/2.
