It's Lexi, Bitch!

I organized a breakfast potluck in my office so we could all celebrate and watch the Inauguration together. 3 minutes into my commute, I glanced at the newspaper another train rider was reading and saw a picture of Obama and the headline “The Long Journey” and started bawling. Obama’s speech was brilliant, and I am still bowled over that my new President included “non-believers” in his inaugural speech when talking about religion. Thanks for the shout-out, O!

A MYRIAD OF LOVES IT:

Aretha’s. Fucking. Hat. NEED!

These sweet, poised girls and their brilliant Fall 2009 J.Crew CrewCuts (BewCuts?) coats, designed especially for them.

The only time people have booed a person in a wheelchair. Fuck you, Dick.

Later, asshole! We’re taking our country back now! Enjoy The Onion’s tales of your death, painful tumble, crocodile maiming, kidney stones, motorcade dragging incident, and spider eggs hatching in your brain.

Mr. Adorbs McTinyPants himself, Rev. Lowery. I’m pretty sure there was a worldwide “BBBEEEWWWW!!” happening at this moment. Wonderful benediction, too.

This brilliant, beautiful and compassionate pair (and that DRESS! Beyond stunning!).

But above all, this speech, an eloquent President, and the sight of this man behind the Presidential Seal.

for new year’s eve this year, lucas and i rented a cheapy oceanfront hotel room, drank a bottle of champers, and learned how to make .gifs right on my camera.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

i missed the golden globes, as i was squired away to north carolina for lots of relaxation, southern food i’d never heard of, and playing with amazing kitties and a dog. however, i do have some thoughts on the fashions, as usual!

AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH ;ALSDJFAS;DF!!!!!!!!!!! :

ummm. cruella deville? what is going on here? there’s no way carolina hererra actually designed this. inconceivable.

is it possible for drew to one day have a good golden globes look? let us not forget what happened a few years ago. i understand she’s trying to go for the marilyn hair, but it’s so, so, so far from that, it makes me shudder.

you are 16, miley. take out your hair extensions, hose off that makeup, and cover up your chesticles. stop bringing your dad as your date to these things. also, stop dating that lecherous 20 year old dude who’s using you for fame. just stop. STOP!

megan fox irritates me to no end. she constantly looks like she’s giving someone oral sex. she just looks so rubbery and plastic and so much like a blow-up doll that i find her to be a complete mess. horrible tattoos, too.

LOVES IT:

holy shit. january jones is grace kelly. she’s amazing in “mad men,” too. complete and total perfection.

(source)
freida pinto looks effortless and glowing in this christian lacroix gown. the color and shape are PERFECT for her, and her cuff bracelet and box clutch are perfectly complementary. but the best thing is her sweet smile, which has me totally swooning.

taraji henson found the most amazing mix of playful (the supposed air of the golden globes until everyone started wearing long black gowns again a few years ago, what the fuck) and formal. i love the mix of materials, colors, ruffles and sparkles on her dress, mixed with the classic silhouette. she is so completely stunning and radiant, i was almost in cardiac arrest every time she came onscreen in “benjamin button.” until the whole thing nearly put me to sleep.

(source)
TIIIIINNNNNAAAA. this is the way to wear a fucking black dress. if it’s long and black, at least choose a dress with some interesting details. the amazing deep-v neck, lined with what looks like ammunition, is contrasted by the sweet bow. i love this woman.

SO CLOSE….SO, SO CLOSE:

all of the following women are major victims of monochromatic ensembles. i love each of them dearly, so consider this an intervention, isla fisher, america ferrera and laura linney. it’s not good when the gown matches your hair and/or skin and/or shoes with no interruption of other color the whole way through. i almost took laura linney out because of the silver belt, but then i saw the clutch……sobs.
