Last week, I challenged you to make even the most mundane items slutty.  This week, let’s just go ahead and point out the already played out Halloween costumes for this year (seemed to work out for you folks last year).

  1. Black Swan.  You’ve been planning this for 9 months haven’t you?
  2. Nicki Minaj.  This is this year’s Lady Gaga.
  3. Charlie Sheen.
  4. Amy Winehouse.  Just ew.
  5. Steve Jobs.  Too soon.
  6. Pan Am flight attendant.
  7. Any of the Kardashians. Ever.
  8. Angry Birds.
  9. William and Kate.
  10. Justin Bieber.

Hey, there’s still time to make a swap.

Would You Wednesday: Color Me Beautiful

Lately, A-List ladies have been trading in conventionally colored coifs for wild shades that you’d normally only see on Rainbow Brite and My Little Pony.  Two of the latest to try this trend on their tresses are Katy Perry (who has gone through several shades of pink) and Lauren Conrad (with a pale ombre peach).  While they’ve been making a splash with their colorful new ‘do’s, they aren’t the first to go  ROYGBIV on us.

Oh yes, it seems that celebrities have run the gamut on high impact hairdo’s.  But what I really want to know is whether or not this hairdo is actually a hairDON’T.  I’m all for self expression and trying out the newest in beauty… but looking like a Skittle probably isn’t in the cards for me.  I don’t think my hairbrush wants to taste the rainbow.  Call me a traditionalist, but I think I’ll stick to haircolors commonly occurring in nature.  What do you think?

Now I’m craving Starburst. Great.

Weekend Playlist: I Like to Move It Move It

The winds have turned and brought that chilly air that signals “So long, summer” and it’s now dark outside before 7pm.  It’d be pretty easy to channel your inner groundhog (do you know that they just beef up and sleep all winter?) and just give up on yourself.  I mean, afterall, it’s so cold you probably won’t be wearing any short shorts or minis (let alone shaving your legs) for the next five or so months.  Might as well just pack on the pounds and use your new blubber for insulation, right?  No.  Just stop it.  There’s no time like now to kick your workout into full gear and one of the easiest ways to stay on track is by updating your workout playlist.  Here’s one that I’ve been using for mine and will hopefully keep your body moving as well.

A good rule of thumb?  Always be ready to be in a bikini at a moment’s notice. You never know when you might need a mid-winter escape to the Caribbean.

Why I Can’t Sit Through the VMA’s

Oh sweet heaven above. Perhaps I’m just getting old, but I tuned into the MTV VMA pre-show because you know I love to blog about the oh so crazy fashion on the red carpet. However, after witnessing Justin Bieber arrive with a snake named “Johnson” followed by Nicki Minaj in another one of Lady Gaga’s rejected costumes, I couldn’t take much more. Then Katy Perry showed up with pink hair and Asian garb- complete with parasol- and I’d had enough. I needed to make a cocktail if I was going to attempt to sit through this shit storm. (Irene who?)

When I returned with a Bloody Mary, there was a very strange man performing “You And I.” Was I drunk on vodka fumes alone? Oh, it’s just Gaga.

You know who’s not drunk? Beyonce.

Now I’m gonna go finish my cocktail and if I have it in me will continue with red carpet commentary.

Monday Mashup: Grammy Edition x 2

Let’s first talk about how obnoxious it was that the West Coast had a delayed viewing of the Grammy’s.  I already knew who wore what and who won what before seeing a second of footage.  So basically, I watched the Grammy’s twice.  This theme carried throughout the entire evening.  Seemed that everything was coming in pairs- aka- twice the pain.

The “buzz” for the evening was Lady Gaga arriving to the awards in an egg.  Yep, an egg.  Apparently, she was “incubating.”  I mean… I can’t.  I give people credit for being different, but sometimes trying too hard to be “different” merely makes you the same as everyone else.  I don’t want to point out the obvious, but that performance by Gaga was pretty reminiscent of a very “materialistic” pop icon who was once known for being “innovative” herself.  So, now I turn to you Nicki Minaj.  What are you trying to pull?  Why must you try so hard to shock us with these crazy get ups?  If you’re going to attempt to catch our attention, you’re gonna have to work a wee bit harder when you’ve got Lady Gaga walking the same red carpet as you.

A group of incredibly talented and lovely ladies paid tribute to the amazingly talented  Aretha Franklin.  While they did a fantastic job rounding up gals with some serious pipes, you can’t help but notice that Christina Aguilera blew them all out of the water.  It’s a good thing that Ms. Aguilera is talented because the way she’s been looking lately is just frightening.  I can’t help but think she looks a lot like a certain pork filled childhood pal…

Okay, so Snooki will never actually look like JLo.  However, Jenny from the Block may want to make sure her stylist isn’t moonlighting as Snooki’s stylist, which is very possible because Snookster looks a lot better than her usual hamster self.

Besties Katy Perry (in Armani) and Rihanna (in Jean Paul Gaultier) opted for white.  Both also opted to look like they were wearing costumes.  Katy is clearly an angel (see the wings?) and RiRi is most obviously a furry white caterpillar, duh. Guuuuys… this is the GRAMMY’s, not Halloween!

So basically, Natasha Bedingfield is wearing Ciara’s dress pre-run-in with weed wacker.

One of these things is not like the others.  One of these things just isn’t the same…  Give up?  Well, everyone here has a talent EXCEPT one.  Still stuck?

Oh… well, that’s just awkward.

So, while, I did tune into the Grammy’s this evening, I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t.  Lucky for me, I DVR’ed it.  So, in reality, I could watch it a third time.
