award.

I scrolled through a lot of dresses from an awards show. I didn't actually watch it, nor do I watch the shows it was honoring. I'm always happy to look at fancy dresses, but then came my disappointment.

these are the only two dresses I even remotely liked...

Emily Deschanel in Max Azria Atelier

January Jones in Atelier Versace with Mui Mui shoes

Maybe this makes me seem like a fashion snob, but I have my reasoning. It's quite simple. The pretty dresses were poorly fit and the ugly dresses, well, they were just ugly.

Fit makes or breaks an outfit, no matter how skinny you are or what body type you have. Haven't you ever been shopping online and fallen completely in love with a dress/shirt/anything....you bee bop to the store to try it out and most likely buy and then...doom. You rip it off the shelf and briskly walk (run) to the fitting room. Do I even have to say what comes next? You hate it, you can't get it off fast enough. Then your heart sinks and you sulk out of the store.

Fit will ALWAYS kill an outfit no matter how Meep it is, and that includes a $100,000 designer gown. Hopefully the next pointless award show will give me more to work with.

Oh wow. I almost forgot the best one.

Betty White is Meep.

brilliant.

adventure.

so i don't really watch a ton of TV. i'm a sucker for the paranormal shows, true life, intervention, etc. But i rarely watch something every week. I'm a flipper when it comes to TV. i'll watch part of the show and start flipping and forget what i was watching. I kinda have ADD when it comes to television shows....except for two things: The History Channel and The Biggest Loser. I recently upgraded my cable package from super basic to a much better bundle. I get way more channels now, but honestly i'm still figuring it out. When you don't have cable for a couple of years you miss out on a lot. While it may not be important, i was still so surprised at all the stuff i'd missed. (and how ridiculous some shows really are...like Kendra and the Kardashians. Those shows are train wrecks, i can't help but look.)

I'm rambling about TV for a very important reason. While doing my daily blog read I came across a new show that sounds absolutely mind blowing. SOUL PRETTY is a blog i love because she shares the most amazing design pictures and she keeps her posts short and sweet. She did a post on her favorite TV shows and included a new show called Man Shops Globe on the Sundance Channel. It's about Keith Johnson, buyer-at-large for Anthropologie, and his six-month long trip around the world searching for products and inspiration for the store to sell or re-create. This guy seriously has the best job in the world and putting it on TV is the best idea they've ever had.

Here's the problem. I don't have the Sundance Channel. That requires another, more expensive, upgrade. Hopefully it will go to DVD. Until then the cable company remains my arch nemesis.
