best dressed 2005

No specific order with the Best of 2005, only because I couldn’t bring myself to deny any of them #1 . . . so they are ALL the Best. I feel a song coming . . . “Simply the Best! Better than all the rest!” (you feeling it?)
*Cate Blanchett is radiating in gold. Simply breath-taking . . . you must agree.
*Gweneth Paltrow might be dippy, but she doesn’t look doppy in this gown. I love the way this dress drapes on the floor and hugs through her hips.
*Halle Berry can dress . . . the girl VERY rarely can’t put it together. If I was Annette Benning I would try and get my hands on Halle’s stylist.
*Finally a woman who knows how to wear red and not look like trash. Thank you Julia Stiles. This is so elegant . . . sexy. I love it. Even better, it isn’t knit jersey or some awful thing like that.
*Little black dress and lace, and it’s not even tacky! I love it! Kristen Dunst you rule . . . If I made you number could you promise me many more years of Spiderman?
*Maggie Gyllenhall has such a sweet smile that I couldn’t resist putting her in the ‘yes you can dress’ list. Not to mention she’s wearing an amazing dress (I am so loving brown this year). I love the pleated fan in back and the way the fabric fades from light to dark. Very beautiful rouching on the bodice.
*This orange gown is so stunning. Marcia Cross’ coloring definitly makes this dress. Her fair skin and burnt red hair are so complimentary. The draping plume of the skirt is very lovely.
*Natalie Portman a bit like a Greek goddess. Again very nicely pleated skirt in a light weight, sheer fabric. Simple, classic, beautiful.
*Although incredily skinny I do think that Nicole Richie looks ravishing supermodel thin. Especially considering this silk dress and the way it drapes on her small frame. Of course I love the color, and I love the silk scarf like textile design. The halter neckline is very nice. I think she deserves top 5.
*Lastly Ziyi Zhang and her most devine try at black lace. No lamp shades. No 5 yards of $2 lace. Just class, elegance and beauty. (If you haven’t seen ‘Memoirs’ go see it! Absolutely amazing, beautiful story. . . I am reading the book now).
Ahh now didn’t that feel better. After the worst list I wasn’t sure if I would ever overcome my nausia. Thank God for Ziyi Zhang, Maggie and Cate or I would still be living in ‘The Land of Pooh’ and I don’t mean Winnie.

Finally, My worst dressed of 2005

worst dressed 2005

The worst of 2005 leaving a bad taste in my mouth this year. Like stink on rice the top 10 worst can’t escape the ‘yuck’.
Number 10 . . . Are ya drunk, or were you REALLY hoping to wear the lamp shade?
Number 9 . . . God love ya, but metallic gold love ya not.
Number 8 . . . Ice Queens? Stay off the ice, and don’t let your competition see you carrying ‘the club’!
Number 7 . . . When was the last time someone wore a ruffled shirt and low rise pants and looked GOOD? Vanilla Ice’s popularity was more out-lived then Polyester Leisure Suits!
Number 6 . . . Now, looking like a WWE wrestler as entertaining as wearing Catwoman’s wardrobe on the red carpet. If I hadn’t just said CatWoman I might be tempted to say ‘Go Go Gadget Big Breasts!’ (must have slipped out)
Number 5 . . . Corn dog
Number 4 . . . “OOo Mommy! Marilyn Manson is so SMASHING in red!”
Number 3 . . . You can ring my BEEELLLL, ring my BELL!
Number 2 . . . Someone dip me in plastic and take me to the show!
Number 1 . . . HOLY stinky sheet, torn up, twisted, tucked, plucked ,brazillian wax beyond on CRAZY, bleached, Cher wearin’, P DIDDY LOVIN’, Little Debbie Little Debbie, you can’t get your CAKES in that!
(10 Down: Jennifer Love Hewitt (Party of Five-hundred feet of lace), Debra Messing (I love ya girl, sorry to have to put you on my ‘yuck’ list), Melanie Griffith (It pains me to see you number 8 on the WORST), Ellen Degeneres (please never wear a dress), Jessica Simspon (sorry, but you will ALWAYS be on my worst list), Macy Gray (corn dog), Rene Zelleweger (not actually Marilyn Manson despite visual display), Kristen Bell (’Veronica Mars’ I wouldn’t even know who you are if you weren’t on right after ‘America’s Next Top Model’), Annette Benning (I think I just threw up a little), Tess Smith (Dung Beetles looked better).

COMCAST!!!! AH!

First no modem, then no account, then 2 hours later an account, but no wireless internet. Then ethernet hook-up yes, but router a waste, then cable tv goes dead, 2 more hours ethernet again, wirelss no. Then phone call with router company, no go. So now tv is back . . . thank God! but wireless . . . NO!

I wonder if I will need to rethink this whole internet thing. So don’t be too surprised if I post something in the near future about having absolutely NO internet, and having virtually no ability to (temporairly though I promise) to post entries. Ugh!

Oh Really?

Despite being your worst enemy yesterday you now consider me your best friend? Are you serious? Now that you NEED something. Ha! Life isn’t so interesting. So bizzare at times. I LOVE IT!

Blah Blah Blah

Thu 16 Feb 2006 2:40 pm

I feel blah blah blah. The sun is warm, that is nice. The wind . . . burr! I had a million things to talk about before I logged in to blog . . . not sure where all those thoughts went, apparently out the window. Even though I would freeze my knickers off I really wish I was laying in the grass at Greenlake. I would need gloves to adequately play Frisbee, but it would still be a day off to enjoy the sun. Work is slow and somewhat dull this week. That’s life . . . you have summer, and a delightful Autumn, then a joyous Christmas . . . life is then hit by the ugly stick and all you have are Mondays. Cold, windy, weather ridden Mondays. Blah Blah Blah. I need a walk or something. I think a month long vacation to Bermuda would be far more beneficial though. Actually, a $40 Stress Managment seminar may do as well. It’s cost effective, only requires ONE day off work, and I wont have to pack a bag. Hmmm . . . Bermuda . . . still sounding better.

I have been very impatiently waiting for my new cable modem to arrive, I am blogging from work, thanks to Comcast’s inability to mail a modem with the install CD and cable splitter. Goof balls. All a girl asks for is one working piece of hardware. I don’t need bells and whistles, I just want to find myself on my daily surf without dial-up frustrations. Is that too much?

The lack of internet has me back to the drawing board . . . boredom carrying me away. Lucky for me I do miss releasing tensions over a good sewing project, or relaxing with a sharp pencil and pad of paper. There once was time when I too had my Spring ‘99 line, and Fall ‘01 line. Not just Donna Karen had her brain to the grindestone keeping up on latest trends . . . I did too. Now I am too busy feeling like the uncreative, bottum of the barrel, you can do anything better then me individual to realize that I too have talents, and I too can really ‘Wow’ with my abilities. It is hard to remind yourself that you ARE worth it, when you are constantly being told that you aren’t. Why does the world try to break us down? Strength is something you have to work at, it can’t be aquired with out discipline and practice. Guess I better get on that new training regime.

Hmm . . . I think i will work another 2 and 1/2 hours, then go home to seek some rejuvenation and tension release. Last thing I want is my TMJ to flare up again causing me to have an inability to chew or sleep without pain. TMJ sucks . . . just so you know.

Evening plans? Ice pack, cup of my favorite tea, sweatpants and a warm blanket, pad of paper, sharp pencil. I guess that will do.
