The Oscars: Photoshop Fashion

I wasn't really blown away by anyone at this Oscars this year, but did have suggestions for changes to several of the outfits...here are my recommendations, using Photoshop magic:

First off, Beyonce. Girl, just because your mama made it, doesn't mean you HAVE to wear it. If she's going to wear this style, at least tone it down with a solid color. That gold lame is just too 1985 for me. I also gave her some more eye makeup cause she looks too washed out.

I kinda got crazy with Amy Adams. Maybe it was the necklace, I just had to get rid of it. As my BFF said, "Looks like someone threw up rubies and diamonds on her neck." And that black edging just didn't do it for me. I didn't want to do just plain red, so I played with some black at the top. I could see where Miley was going with her dress, but thought the shell belt took it too far. I took the shell off, removed some of the sequins and think it looks much better. I think if it wasn't as "big" it would have worked better for her. I did like it that she took a chance because this is a very different looking dress compared to what we've seen lately.Now Heidi, we know you have a gorgeous body and great fashion sense, but this dress was a little too right angle for me. I softened it a bit and tried to bring down the slit a little. I also put her hair up - didn't like that casual approach with this dress.
I also found this great montage on MSNBC that I love. It shows everyone that wore the lighter colors to the Oscars side by side. I think my ultimate fave of the night was Anne Hathaway. I'd love to give her a tan, but I think we're so used to seeing her without one, it would probably look strange.


Who was your favorite?

    I love how you can do this!

    My favorite dress was Kate Winslet by far, but she always does the same thing.

    I liked Natalie Portman too.

    I didn't get to see the show...but after looking at the pics I have seen...I'm partial to Natalie Portman myself.

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
