my thoughts on the Oscar gowns

I did fall asleep right after Meryl won.
Why does she have to wear that silouette to EVERYTHING?!
(I'm going to brag now) I have stood ten feet away from Ms. Streep and she is tiny and of perfectly average, if not narrow, build. I don't know why she insists on wearing that wide neckline and all that fabric around her shoulders.
Get her on the phone, will you?

Meanwhile...




I wore a long black skirt with a slit to work today (with leggings and boots) and I stood just like this whenever I got a chance! I'm okay with this dress. I'm not so okay with the posturing. Did you see the fellows who won the award she presented mocking her? And, emaciated arms aside, I do find her stunning.



I sort of like Sandra's dress too - but there's something about the fit that seems off. Her botoxed face seemed a bit off too, but now I'm just being mean.




I have mixed feelings about this one. It's pretty, I suppose, but so MUCH. As K pointed out, though, she knows how to wear a dress. I'd like to see more photos of her hair too.




I love her/I hate her/she's brilliant/she's an idiot. My favorite gown of the evening. Hands down. White! Who'd have thought?! Everything about it thrills me.



 Don't know who she is. Like her trash bag.

 

 K is smitten but we both agree that that business (busy-ness) on her shoulder is too heavy!


  

 I am smitten but we both agree that the girlfriend of the month looks like she's wearing a dress made of that foil that they wrap people in in movies after disasters at sea. Too specific?

 

 I do love me some Alexander McQueen. She looks beautiful.


 

 No clue who she is. Love the dress (but it seems a little casual) AND the hair. Anyone?


 

 Very pretty. Honest. Not knocking me out, but nice. I know. Everyone is in love.



Same story here, I'm afraid, though close-ups of Ms. Mara were stunning, I like her better when I can't hear her talking.
Aren't I awful?
There you are.
