And Now For Something Completely Different

Since I've missed the Conference Semi Final, and the Caps have been kicked out (in four games no less) there's really no point in me doing a Conference Semi Final post, we'll just wait for the Conference Finals. And to be honest I'm totally cheering for Tampa Bay, like who knew?

Anyway life sucks and prevents me from blogging but I don't have anything too worthwhile to post so I'd thought I'd just spam you with photos from the MET Gala. YEY judging pretty people in pretty clothes, what else was I going to do with my Friday night...

Overall I was pretty disappointed. I look forward to the MET Gala every year because that's when the rich and famous are supposed to 'bring it' fashion wise, and since this year's gala was dedicated to the late Alexander McQueen, I was expecting to be wowed instead I was disappointed. I think this is the worst MET ball in recent memory, a lot of nobodies showed up in boring clothes anyway on to the judging.

I think this dress is ugly but I think it would be less ugly without that leather jacket/bolero thingy


Angela Chase wouldn't be caught dead in this, just saying!


I love this dress! Its one of my favourites of the ball. I love they way the colours fade into each other and I love the asymmetrical pattern. I wouldn't expect anything less from Anna!

I think I'm probably in the minority but I do like this dress, it has a sexy French maid vibe to it plus Ashley wears it so well, on anyone else I'm not sure I'd like it.


Beyonce's dress was a tacky-ass mess, I mean it IS Beyonce. This photo cracks me up, Bey needed help from her husband and an assistant to get up those stairs, this is not uncommon but what is uncommon is the photographers actually capturing it, apparently Bey and Jay-Z didn't pose long enough on the carpet, and the photographers booed them, so I guess this is their revenge?

Oh Blake! As you all know I have a huge girl crush on her but I'm not sure about this dress, from this angle its alright but from the sides its bulky and unflattering. I think I'm starting to like her red hair.


This is Brooklyn Decker. Sports Illustrated model. Love interest of Adam Sandler in 'Just go with it' and Soccer mom??? Brooklyn is 23 years old but she doesn't look 23 years old, but hey maybe she was going for, the '35 year old soccer mom look.'


I don't hate this dress, I don't love it either I'm just very 'meh' about it, which is surprising because Diane usually dresses so well.



Dianna Agron is like white wonder bread to me. Very boring, very unremarkable sure she's pretty but there's nothing interesting about her but I do really love that cuff!


For all the epicness that was this dress' train, apparently Doutzen had to lie on her back in the car to fit it all in, it's a very boring dress. Is this Michael Kors? Oh never mind then.


I liked this dress better when it was just a skirt sold at Urban Behaviour.


I think there should be an age limit for these events. Elle Fanning is 12, so I won't make any mention of what I think about her outfit (I'm sure you have the same opinion) but 12 is too young to be amongst people who have made a career of eating air for dinner and having blow for dessert. Or maybe I'm being just too puritanical.


I think this is the wrong dress for the wrong event. These is nothing glam about it, its probably the dress my grandmother wore to the dance down at the legion hall when she saw my grandfather off to war. No, no I'm being silly, my grandmother only wore pretty dresses!


I prefer Emma Stone as a redhead, so she already has that against her. I just think, this is your first time at the MET ball, celebrating Alexander McQueen and this is what you decide to wear?


I ADORE this dress! The Tuxedo gown combination, LOVE!


I'm totally feeling Ginnifer Goodwin's hair and make-up, and the colour of this dress looks amazing on her its just- well I'm not a fan of the cut of the dress.


The Goddess Gisele! She looks good, boring but good.

Miss Microbiotic! I could write a chapter book in all the feelings I have towards her but I won't and just say that this dress is a boring dress among a sea of boring dresses. Lee McQueen must be shaking his head up in heaven right now!

I think Hilary Rhoda looks great, I love her clutch and I appreciate her going with the menswear look when everyone else wants to look pretty, I just wish it wasn't all white. PS Is that Matthew Morrison in the background?

Queen Iman! Anyone else would look ridiculous in a gold sequin jumpsuit but this is Iman, the same rules never apply!


Isabel Lucas always looks ridiculous. At least she didn't disappoint us.


I know this is Janelle Monae's shitck, and she usually pulls it off so well but something about this outfit is decidedly cheap. I think its the sateen pants.


From the neck up Jennifer Hudson looks great but this dress looks like some cheap-ass prom dress. Oh its Vera Wang? Mystery solved.


Jennifer Lopez is experiencing somewhat of a resurgence all thanks to American Idol, which I'm not opposed to because it makes me feel like its 2002 and I'm 15 years old and the most important problem in my life is wondering why Jordan won't call me back! Oh and this dress is a hot mess.


The Princess of Kincardine! I think I would like this look a lot more if Jess didn't go to Taylor Swift's hairdresser.


What is this? Is this Marchesa? If this isn't Marchesa then shame to whoever designed it because I mistook it for Marchesa.


ZOMG its Bella Swan *ahem* I mean Kristen Stewart. I actually really like the pattern of this dress, I'm not crazy about the cut though.

This is one of my favourite's! I love that' its completely different from what everyone else is wearing, and Leighton, bless her, is never afraid to go there. Although I don't like that her shoes, are the shoe version of her dress. Personally I hate matchy matchy anything, it makes me nervous for some reason.

Givenchy! the S/S 2011 collection was magnificent! This is one of my favourite dresses from the collection! I wish Liv wore her hair back though.


I know most people didn't like this dress but I do! I think its age appropriate and it reminds me of 1930s Hollywood glamour, I wonder if the stars weighed her down?


Didn't Emily Blunt already wear this dress back in 2006?

Another fav! Its very Black Swan-esque! And perfect for this occasion, one of the only people who got it right!


I want this dress. Its very simple but not you know? The cut is like universally flattering and those gold birds transform a rather ordinary dress into something extraordinary!


This is a joke right? It has to be! Is that a fascinator? Okay this is a joke.

I really don't like this dress but I wish I could pull off red hair.


Another red dress! Saoirse looks great in red but there's something about the bodice that's a bit off...maybe there's some detailing the camera is not picking up on.



I feel like Gwyneth Paltrow also wore this dress but Sarah Jessica Parker did it better.

I'm going to be blunt, this dress is hideous and what is that eye make-up?


This is my #1 of the night. Its perfect for the gala, for celebrating Alexander McQueen (its Zac Posen by the way) and its exactly what Wednesday Addams should be wearing to the MET ball!
