Emmy Loathes

   It's now time to share the gowns that did not make me swoon.

1. The Worst. Taraji Henson. Nothing like a talented actress with her stuff showin' through her red carpet gown! No. Anyone who tries to convince me otherwise...your argument will fall on deaf ears.

2. Jayma Mays. Maybe it's the color. I adore ruffles. You all know this. There's something too "precious" about this that  makes me want to bust out my copy of Pollyanna.

She's so pretty! What happened?

3. Padma Lakshmi. There are certain stars who always look bad on the red carpet. Padma...in my humble opinion, is one of them. She is a knockout...where does she get these "looks"? Isn't there a rule against wearing something the exact color of your skin?

4. Dianna Agron. I love the color. It's super flattering on her. But I feel like this was meant for an older woman. It's classy but it doesn't do anything for her. As a dress, I like it. But not for this young thang at the Emmy Awards.

5. Julianna Margulies. I miss ER so much. You have no idea. I haven't seen her new show, but she's probably great on it. This dress looks nice on her. I just don't dig it. Are those plastic baubles? On a seashell top?

I feel better now that I got all that off my chest...

    I missed the Emmy Awards. I was at my adorable cousin's 14th birthday party and I told myself to tune in when I got home. I just plain forgot! Apparently my brain can only hold so much info at once. My serenade of "Stay" by Lisa Loeb to the birthday girl clouded my brain. I may have missed the awards but luckily every living and breathing news station has recaps available for duds like me who "forgot". Modern Family sweeped that B. As it should.

   All that being said I need to draw attention to the most important part of the awards...any awards show, really. The red carpet. I have a need to "rank" things, ever since I was a kid.  I like to pick my favorites and rank them downward. It's Monday and I thought it would be fun and mindless to share my favorites and least favorites. All photos from people.com.

#1. Gwyneth Paltrow. She looks stunning. I love the dress, it's different and it's very "her" but racier. My Dad hates her. Sorry Dad.

2. Emily Blunt. I'm not a huge fan of hers. Probably because she always looks bored. But I just love this dress and I think it looks elegant on her bored body.

3. Heidi Klum. Everyone loves Heidi, don't deny it. I think this dress is SO fun and I applaud her for wearing it. She's a fashion mogul. Embrace it.

4. Julie Bowen. Don't like her much. After that whole "I only wanted one kid and ended up with 2" debacle. Read and judge here.   But guess what? She's rocking this dress like it's her job. I guess it kind of IS her job...

5. Elisabeth Moss. So now that I'm addicted to Mad Men I think she's the cat's meow. She doesn't look like everyone else, which is refreshing. She always wears very classic and old world fashion-style gowns and I feel like if I was famous I would want her stylist dressing me.





I feel better now.
