I’m the type who’d be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn’t going to. I’m the type who’d like to sit home and watch every party that I’m invited to on a monitor in my bedroom." Andy Warhol

Oscar Fashion: Winning and Losing Looks

The last award show fashion round-up for a while...a sad moment, but we must get on with it:

RED CARPET GOLD


HALLE BERRY - Flawless in this blissful creation of floaty chiffon and sequined ruffled bodice.

MILA KUNIS - Possibly the best gown of the night, this delicate tiered  dress may not suit Kunis' hard edgy persona  but all the same, the actress wears this dress perfectly. Beautifully feminine.
AMY ADAMS - Many opted less for the protruding skirt and more for the silhouette effect last night, which  is a pleasant change. Amy looks gorgeous covered from neck to toe in this rich indigo embellished gown, paired with clashing emerald green accessories.

GWYNETH PALTROW - Dripping in a silky array of golden/silvery shine, this simple yet powerfully stylish dress fits Gwyneth's modernized sense of red carpet fashion. Maybe her hair in a high, slicked back ponytail would have set the look off even further, but still stunning.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON - A pleasant surprise of fashion choice from Scarlett as we're used to seeing her in more peachy tones and prom-style cuts. This lace dress is classy yet simple. Her refreshed make up and loosely tousled bob finish off this effortless look.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE - A far cry from the scraggy, tomboy she portrays in Winter's Bone, this bold colour enforces Jennifer's youthfulness, bringing something sexy to the red carpet.

CATE BLANCHETT - Cate loves intricacy in the designs she wears and she's not afraid, like Gwen, to push the boundaries. Truly an example of art in the form of fashion, this dress must have been designed for Cate. 

CAMILA ALVES - Although not an actress, Matthew Mcconaughey's girlfriend made just as much of a statement on the red carpet with this dramatic black gown with a plunging neckline and protruding empire skirt.


RED CARPET FOLD
REESE WITHERSPOON - I get that she was trying something completely different to her usual red carpet choice, but this look just didn't work. Reese is to soft around the edges to pull off this cutting, femme fatale persona.

NICOLE KIDMAN - Oh Nicole. You used to be so style-appreciated on the red carpet...what happened?

FLORENCE (FROM FLORENCE & THE MACHINE) - She usually adorns these nude-coloured tiered, floaty gowns but this is a nude gown too much. She should have tried something a little different to get us excited.

MARISA TOMEI - This just does not fit her well at all. Someone with more curves to fill out this dress, like Kim Kardashian, would have gained more Fl@unt fashion points, but on Marisa...not good.

Video of the Week: 'Born This Way' - Lady Gaga

Whether you like her or not, we all know this video will gain scoring youtube views due to pure curiosity of what this female force can do next. 

Yes, aspects of this video may seem vulgar and will certainly cause controversy, however Gaga's urgency to enforce the message of supporting the people - as different as we may appear to each other - as a united force accepting and appreciating these differences, is commendable:

The Brits Takeover Oscars

Congratulations to fellow Brits Colin Firth and Christian Bale for deservedly winning their first Oscars last night for 'The Fighter' and 'The King's Speech. Both actors completely dedicated themselves to their roles. 'The King's Speech also won major awards - Best Directing and Best Film.

A specific well done to Natalie Portman who won for Black Swan. She's been working since she was 11 showcasing sincere cinematic portrayals after the other - a win well overdue!


the man den

As you know, I'm trying to stay out of the decorating and design of our
basement....this is Mr. Hare's project and I've promised to let him run it.
Then I found an entire section on House and Home's website about
basements. I couldn't resist sharing some photos.




My Style

Mr. Hare's Style





I can't believe these are all basements. They make me really excited to have ours complete!

Here's a picture of the laminate flooring that we (Mr. Hare) picked out.
Too bad the installation isn't going so well!


It's hand scraped, wide planks. It's perfect for the casual style that he is planning
for the basement. Good choice. I love it! Fingers crossed that we get to keep it!

Oh and here he is testing two paint selections. I was so proud of him for doing this! The winner was Mist by Sarah Richardson for Para.

Mist
WINNER- MIST by Para
What do you think? How long do you think I can hold off before I try to
take over? ha! 

Pet Shop Reconstruction Begins!


Woah, construction to the Pet Shop has officially begun!


It looks like the Pet Shop is getting a total new redesign. I even see some weird tubes hanging from the roof.

Also at the Pet Shop, there's a blueprint for a new puffle playercard coming out in March!


I LOVE IT! It's cool to see that even puffles are helping rebuild, lol.
