Fashion

Oh I forgot to talk about Oscar fashions....

Here goes:

Michelle Williams's dress ---> LOVED IT, EVEN THOUGH ALL THE FASHION POLICE LOATHED IT. TO ME IT'S THIS YEAR'S CAMI DIAZ ROBE DRESS.
Jessica Alba's dress ---> LIKED IT OKAY.
Nicole's dress ---> THOUGHT IT WAS LAME. WHY WAS EVERYONE SAYING SHE WAS BEST-DRESSED? EAT SOMETHING!
Keira's dress ---> ICK.
Charlize's dress ---> LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS PLAYING DRESS-UP AT A GAY VINTAGE STORE. THE BOW?!
J. Lo's dress ---> LOVED IT. SHE NEEDS TO STOP W/ THE UPDOS THOUGH. HER HAIR LOOKS BETTER DOWN. MAKEUP OVERLOAD ALSO.
Reese's dress ---> OKAY. SORT OF ILL-FITTING. OF COURSE IT WAS VINTAGE DIOR. BLECH.

It's hard out there for a pimp.

Okay, that had to be the best Oscar moment as Jin pointed out. I can't help but think of my conservative mom, watching the show and going, "What is this world coming to? Pimp?" Oh well....

Work was very busy this week. It's total crunch time (and even beyond) for this project I am working on. It's been A LOT of writing. Everything has happened so quickly.

There has been some pressure and some hard feelings. I think the consultants who are "managing" the project hate me--we have a very rigorous routing process for everything here, so text and photos are late. Design approval is late. Everything is late. Their wireframes--basically they plug in all our writing and art into these templates and give them to the arm of this company that's building these Web pages--are late. To them I think I'm public enemy number one.

My managing editor has been really cool about everything. He basically told them--a few times--to fuck themselves and leave me alone.

I'm excited because I think it's going to turn out really great. I'm very proud of the writing I've done. It's so nice to be somewhere where I really love what I'm doing and get it. I feel all grown up.

Here in the Big Apple, it's starting to feel like spring. I want to have another party at my apartment. I am thinking tiki theme.

Oscar Night

I know it sounds cheesy but I love the Oscars. Yes, they are always too long, and more years than not I haven't seen half of the movies nominated.

However, I love the fashion and the ceremony of it all. In this day and age, so rarely do people get dressed to the nines. It's nice that there is some glamour left in Hollywood, aside from Juicy Couture sweats and all the crap the Simpson sisters wear. (A recent post on Go Fug Yourself amused me to no end by saying that Ashlee Simpson was the new face of Derelicte. Derelicte being the line from Zoolander inspired by the homeless. So un-PC—yet so funny.)

Some good flicks that I saw this year: Syriana, Pride & Prejudice, hmmm anything else?

Whatever. I'm having the girls over and sending good vibes to Clooney.

Last Nite

Sue is visiting from San Francisco. We decided to go to the First Friday party at the Guggenheim, where Carlos D. of Interpol and VHS or Beta were DJing. It was packed and fun. The crowd was a little sedate, but I guess that's what happens when you're packed in like sardines! I've heard Carlos spin a better set, but he did get the crowd going with some old school stuff (think all the Interpol influences.)

After that, we went to Lit where we danced some more and smoked ciggies in the scary dungeon....

Tonight, headed for a b'day party in the 'hood.

XO,

Oh, Madge

So the funniest thing I heard/read all week....

I forwarded an e-mail about how Madonna is now confirmed to the Coachella lineup to a few people, and Jinners writes back, "ew, that is so.... unnecessary. she needs to retire her over-exercised bod already. let it grow old!"

"Let it grow old." I LOVE IT.

Come on Madge, yes your new song is off the hook (largely due to the Abba sample), but this is NOT your venue. This makes the night you "DJed" Misshapes seem cool in comparison. Come on, keep your unitard away from the indie.
