Best Best Friends



I love best girl friends. Busy Phillips and Michelle Williams epitomize besties. They've been friends since they met on the set of Dawson's Creek and Busy is always Michelle's plus-one to awards ceremonies. Michelle seems very shy and pensive. I'm sure she's been accused of being a bitch more than once only because of her quiet, introverted nature. Busy on the other hand is bubbly and outgoing. I follow her on Instagram and she is hilarious and very down to Earth. Based on Busy's Insta-stories, she seems to bring out the silly in Michelle. They are really cute together and I bet having your bestie with you at a long, boring awards ceremony makes it much more tolerable! I love, love, love Busy's dress. Until I found pictures for this post, I thought it was black and wasn't that excited about it, but holy crap, it's green. I love a green dress. LOVE. I love this one and would put it right up there in my top 3 dresses of the night. I'm not that in love with Michelle's- it's pretty boring and safe. I'd love to see her in more color. Imagine her in a deep purple and berry lip. Yes!

 If you follow any one celebrity on Instagram, it should be her. Her instastories are phenomenal.

Worst fitting dress



Giuliana Ranic looked awful last night. She's hit or miss on the red capet, but lately she's been more miss than hit. Her dress last night was the worst I've seen in a long time. There is so much wrong with it. The color is horrible with her hair and skin tone. The dress has cut outs, but they are lined with that horrible, nude pantyhose material that ice skaters use. It's bunching and looks awful. Finally, the dress does not fit her properly, it's too big. There appears to be extra material around her waist. Just not good all around. Her makeup and hair looked really bad. The nude lip with that dress is not good- too pale and anemic. I like Giuliana, she seems like a lovely, fun person, but this look is not lovely or fun, it's just sad.

Best pose



Taraji P Henson, that girl can POSE! Look at her working the red carpet, she's fierce. She's my favorite at awards shows because she is a shameless super poser and it's fabulous. I love the pic with hand on her shoulder. She is giving all of her accessories their moment in the spotlight. Love her. I love this classic, dark blue velvet dress on her. I bet it was really pretty in person, because the blue only shows in certain lights in photos. In my opinion, there wasn't enough colorful on the red carpet. I'm glad she brought some sass to the party! Hidden Figures was the only non-animated movie I saw that was nominated. It was brilliant and she was so great in it...all the actresses were, hell even Kevin Costner was great! I can't recommend it enough.

Oh Canada

We interrupt this Oscar coverage to give you late breaking photos of Justin Trudeau's butt. Seriously though, is there any thing this man cannot do? He has a hot wife, he is adored by all heads of state who meet him, he's good at his job, he even helps people in wheelchairs down broken metro escalators. Honestly, he's perfect and I just want to smack his ass.

Hobo in a tux



Have you ever heard of the charity "Hobos for Humanity"? Every year they go down to the train tracks and find a Hobo. They then take this hobo to a hotel, clean him up a bit, put him in a tux and bring him to the Oscars. This year they even let the hobo hold an Oscar. This is a great organazization, doing great work.

Best Old Hollywood



Emma Stone was a shoe-in to win the Oscar. Prego Natalie Portman just gave up and didn't even bother attending the ceremony (or she had a baby and couldn't come, but that's a lame excuse because everyone LOVES a newborn at an awards ceremony). She dressed the part in a gold gown. She looks gorgeous. Her makeup and hair are so glamorous and very old Hollywood. Her lip color is perfection. I like the movement of the dress and the fit makes her look curvy. While this dress didn't blow my mind and it's a little safe, I do still think she looks so, so beautiful!! I love Emma Stone!

Best Dressed


We are going to be in a fight, because I'm sure Janelle Monae is on a lot of worst dress lists, but I'm gonna go ahead and make her my best dressed. Why? Because Janelle shows up. She always goes all out on her red carpet looks- head to toe. This dress is exquisite. It's so unique. The beading is amazing- look there are birds all over. I love a bird on a dress. I'm all in on this dress 100% and the more I look at it, the more I love it. She looks like a modern day Marie Antoinette and she knows it. She's wearing a little crown just to let us know that she's royalty. All Hail Queen Janelle!!!!

Worst dressed



What in the living hell is this? I don't understand Dakota Johnson. I don't understand how she is a famous actress or how she is in a sexy movie having all the crazy sexy times. She seems like she barely has a pulse. She looks like she chronically needs a blood transfusion. She is so bland and monotone. This whole ensemble just pushes me over the edge in my WTF with Dakota Johnson. That dress is hideous. Her hair looks like she used mayonnaise as a hair treatment and didn't wash it out entirely and then just pulled it out of her face with a clip. Her face looks like she was just bitten by a vampire and then immediately given a tranquilizer. Who did this to her? I want names!!

Best Bridesmaid


It is not an honor to be the best bridesmaid. Nobody wants to be the best bridesmaid at the wedding. They want to be the bride. Or the drunk girl in a cute dress of her own choosing who is scoring all the guys. Hailee is 20 years old. She should be wearing younger, cuter, funkier dresses. Remember the ugly lavender dress she wore to the Golden Globes? This is on par with that in terms of ugly and old. Who are the people giving her these dresses? Who are the people looking at her saying "yes, this is the ONE"? Those myopic bastards should be banished from her inner circle henceforth.

Best Red



I love Viola Davis in everything. She loves color and I love her in all the colors. She can really wear anything and never seems to play it too safe. Red can be tricky with the red carpet and this dress did blend a bit with the carpet and background. Off the carpet, though, it's spectacularly simple. I love the shoulders and neckline and it fits her perfectly. Her hair and makeup are gorgeous. She's also one of my best dressed of the night!!
Love her after party look with the gold kicks and white suit. She's perfection!!!

Princess dress gone bad


Booooooo! This dress really checks all the boxes for what not to wear to the Oscars- Wrinkly taffetta, color that clashes with your skin tone and hair, bow on the boobs, giant ballooning ballgown. I love Leslie Mann so I forgive her, but she really failed with the dress this year. Usually her dresses are fabulous. She didn't even redeem herself with her after party dress. Super bummer.

Weirdest shaped pubic hair

Actress that I've never heard of Blanca Blanco decided that she wanted to world to get to know her a little more intimately so she flashed her perfectly squared pubic hair for all to see. That's an impressive grooming job...oh wait...that's not pubic hair...let me correct myself...she flashed her labia for all the world to see. Seriously though, that's embarrassing. Those high slit dresses are getting higher and higher each year. Blanco probably thought that we'd be too distracted by her ugly shoes, ill fitting belt, and giant sleeves to notice her genitalia, she was wrong. Better luck next year.

Best Boobs



Hey Girl, my sister has an amazing rack and so do you. Thanks Ryan, yes she does and yes I do too.

Worst use of butterflies



Really Kelly Ripa? Really? You are a famous person with access to any designer, you are a perfect sample size, you can wear anything and this is what you choose? This? A goddamn dress adorned with butterflies? Well, it's awful and you should be ashamed of yourself. At least you were smart enough to remove that monstrosity for the after parties so that you could maintain some level of credibility amongst your peers. Those pants fit like a glove.

Most Improved Worst Bangs



You guys, I'm going to make a lot of enemies here. I need to tell the universe that I don't like Justin Timberlake. He's a good performer, but beyond that, he's just so painful. He's all about Justin Timberlake. Remember that time he was on the cover of people for his wedding pictures and it was him jumping in the air seeming to Karate kick his new bride who was hovering in the corner? Well I do. He's smug and annoying. Ok, I've gotten that off my chest.

On to Biel. Jessica is gorgeous. Her face is exquisite. Her body is banging. Her Bangs are not banging. They hid her beauty and make her look tired and worn. When her hair is off her face she looks so much better. She needs a shoulder length, choppy/wavy lob without bangs. That's my wish for Jessica Biel. Fortunately, her hairdresser was able to slick her bangs out of her face and glue them down on the side of her head. For anyone who has ever had bangs, this is no easy feat, so I commend the hair wizard for making this work. I'm 100% in love with her dress and I'd say it is one of my favorite of the night. It's unique, fits her perfectly, and I love the neckline.

And look at the fun, capey number she wore to the after parties. LOVE IT!!!! I want just one of her abs. Just one. Is that too much to ask?

Best Plus One


Denzel Washington and his wife are so precious together. I love her whole look- the red lip, the hair, the dress. She looks comfortable, confidant, and in love. Usually red dresses and red carpets clash or blend in together, but she seemed to transcend the red carpet and her famous husband and stand out on her own. Lovely.

Best Oscar Hair



Out of nowhere comes Halle Berry, FTW!! We haven't seen or heard much from Halle professionally these past few years. But here she is, sitting in the front row with an unremarkable dress but an amazing head of hair. It's delicious. I want to take a nap in those soft, pillowy curls. She looks amazing. Her birth certificate tells me she's 50, but her face says she's 30, and my face tells Halle's face that it thinks it is beautiful.

Most Irridescent



Nicole Kidman had quite a night. She had the best lipstick of the night. She showed up with a short man moppet with horrible highlights. She showed the world that she lacks the ability to clap her hands. And she won the award for being the most irridescent human on earth and was able to find a dress that matched her skin perfectly. A job well done!!!

OSCARS 2017


Hello PopCrushers. Sorry for the late update, but someone has to make sure that all the sick people in Central Vermont stay alive and tonight that person is me. So I didn't actually watch the Oscars live..but it doesn't really matter because the actual ceremony is really boring. I watched the important parts- like when Dick Tracy ruined the lives of the entire cast of LaLa Land. At the end of the day, it's not about who wins and loses, it's about how ugly or pretty your dress was. So let's get on with it shall we. There will be lots of posts- Enjoy!!

SNL has been killing it lately. Everyday the White House and Congress just pour out material for them to satirize. Sadly, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, but what SNL does with the material is genius. I love this sketch. I love that SNL is hitting a particular narcissist right where it hurts- in his little sexist ego. A job well done!!!

Meanwhile at the BAFTAS...


Will and Kate!!! There was speculation as to whether or not these two were going to show. Will is the President of the BAFTA and has skipped out on the awards the last two years. There were reports that Will didn't want Kate to come as to not "show up" any of the stars. Kate doesn't seem to grasp or accept that she IS the star. Her presence brings attention to the awards and makes them that much more special and sparkly. You'd think, as the president of the BAFTA, you would want as much acclaim and free press for your awards as possible.

Kate wore an Alexander McQueen from the Spring/Summer 2016 Resort Collection. The dress fits her like a glove and man, her body is tight. #bicepgoals. I like the dress, its different for her. Her makeup looks good. I'd love to see her with a bolder lip, but I'm not mad at her eye look, especially since she did not go heavy on the lower lid for once. That hair though. Just no. She needs a new hair stylist....one that doesn't use a bump-it.

The Queen Forgives


Beyonce just performed on the Grammy Awards. My friend, Devon, just texted me and asked me, "Is Beyonce supposed to be Jesus @ the last supper??" Yes, of course she is.

Beyonce is the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Beyonce is the Queen
Beyonce distracted us from the shit show in Washington DC for a solid 24 hours.

As a lover and scholar of Beyonce's Lemonade, her song choices tonight were no mistake. She chose 2 slow songs most likely to avoid high impact dancing. Her boobs likely petitioned for the slow songs as they were not interested in being harnessed by 2 sports bras! Lemonade focuses on Beyonce being wronged (ie- Jay Z cheating on her with Becky with the Good Hair). It has several chapters of her healing- denial, anger, sadness, freedom, forgiveness, hope, rebirth. Beyonce has clearly forgiven her philandering husband. She pregnant with his babies. She chose those songs to let the world know that they are all right. We can all move on now, because Beyonce has.

Hello From the Other Side!


Hello, how are you? I've been wondering if after all these weeks you'd like to meet? I've been working, shoveling, skiing, marching, candy crushing, not blogging. Hello from the other side...

Sorry, guys. January wrapped me in a blanket of darkness and laziness and obsessiveness with Trumpness and I couldn't get out of my own way to care much about pop culture when I was so distracted by the news. Dan Rather has become the most compelling part of my day...DAN RATHER, GAAAAAHHHH!!

Tonight is the Grammy Awards. Next week is the Oscars. I will have a TON of posts next Sunday for Oscar Fashion. The Grammys are less fashionable and much more D-list. There are a lot of bottom of the barrelers who show up on the red carpet for the Grammys, I love it. Adele opened the show and of course, she's exquisite. Her performance dress was gorgeous- she looked like a rare fish with beautiful scales. Her green dress on the red carpet was also gorge. Not my favorite thing she's worn, but I like her in color and it's so interesting and detailed. Superb!!
