Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

Soooo, did Fashion Rocks rock your world? Personally, I was waiting for a performance on par with Mary J. and Usher, who KILLED it last year, but alas, it wasn't to be. I was entertained for the most part (Thank God for the fast forward button) and it was such fun gawking at all the fashion hits and misses...let's rezshujsh shall we?

Lil Miss Good Girl Turned Bad opened the show, and although she looked as gorgeous as usual, the performance was kind of a snore. I mean, I've done better vogues drunk in a gay club on a Saturday night.

Luckily, her origami inspired red carpet look didn't disappoint. I have questions about her hair but let's move on to greener pastures...

CHARLIZE! With every beat of my heart and bat of my falsies, I live and breathe for Ms. Theron. She is always sooo devastatingly chic and glamorous. Shall we count the ways? 1) Chunky statement necklace, 2) Opened-toed booties, 3) Skin-tight leggings, 4) Shiny all over. Check, check, check, and check.

Can we tawk about Beyonce as Etta? Did you love it or hate it? I have a feeling there are strong opinions on either side. I personally thought she looked absolutely fabulous in her perfectly vintage dress and amaaaazing emerald earrings.

Her 70's fish-scaled one-piece on the other hand? Ummm...I really loved the top of it, especially the plunging V and puffed-up shoulders. The bell bottoms were a bit much for me, definitely something only Beyonce could pull that off. In positive news, wasn't it refreshing how natural and toned down her makeup and hair were?

I've decided that Fergie looks like a Muppet. That's all.

LL came out looing all kinds of dapper in his smoking jacket. To complete the look, that mike should really be a cigar, or a Dutch, you know whatever your pleasure. Yep, he'd still get wiped down.

First question: Who da hell is Duffy? Second question: Why does she look 45? Is she 45?

Mary J. looked FAN-tastic during performance! She is good for some leggings and some thigh- highs, isn't she? The cream looked great on her, her hair is the right color, she just betta work.

Her red carpet look? Meh.

You know how Posh Becks is all about "That Extra Half an Inch?" Well for Mimi-la, it's all about that extra half a dress! It worked wonders! She actually looks like a grown up lady for once in life. Shout out to whoever snatched the scissors from her hand when she tried to turn this dress into booty shorts.

Now Tyra, you know I love you, but has Halloween come early for you? Please tone down the scary face, and hair for that matter. The dress is cool but if it was in black, she would totally be giving me Elvira.

PCD. I love them. And yes, I am ashamed. My therapist knows and we are working through it.

Solange the Hedgehog continued her reign of terror as "Celebrity Sister Most Likely to Inspire a 'Why Lord?'" on the red carpet.

However, in happier news, I thoroughly enjoyed her performance. Like she actually worked it. I was proud. And the dress worked for her cuz she's Solange and she's just wierd enough to pull it off. Did you see the shoes she was stomping around in? Fierce.



Worst Dressed: The honors go to your friend and mine, Lil Mama. Would she have it any other way? I can't with her. Seriously, Lil Mama take your top hat and bat wings and fly away home already.

Best Dressed: Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl! She was divine in this colorblocked grecian gown. She looks her age but so sophisticated at the same time. The colors coral and purple are definitely on trend and the hair and makeup are the perfect accent. Good for you, girl!

Until next time, honeybunches, stay fab!
