Oscar | Be a Seed for Change

The Oscars, 2024, known for being one of a few Award Shows that people actually schedule their day and or lives around, is finally here. Quick get your fav snacks and, drinks and ooh girl look on. It offers up winners and losers in film, costume, writers, music, actors, and directors, but most of us seem to tune in for the fashion, makeup, or latest cutie pie. The night is about the best of all things good-looking, ugly, and maybe a malfunction of some kind. There might be some dancing possibly people you won’t see in person …unless you live in NYC go to Aspen a lot or live in Cali, and reports are some look different … well, fantasy is just better than reality isn’t!

This year the Oscars offer us more than just family fun or fantasy but films about slavery, politics, autism, or being bipolar and what impact each has on lives and legacies … tune in on March 10, 2014

Oscar enthusiasts watch to find out the latest info on who might be pregnant, divorced, who is wearing what, why, and in the end, all of us have an opinion on all the fashions worn during the event, as a star or model walks down the Red Carpet, and the big question? … honestly, did your family, your agent, or your date let you leave out the house with that on? I said it.

It seems like very few Oscars have been amusing due to the state of our economy …entertainers were telling us … money doesn’t buy you happiness etc. blah blah blah; I agree, but it doesn’t buy taste either, SO …let the judging begin. lol

There are a lot of us couch potatoes stylists wondering about the credentials needed and being claimed by some of these so-called pros … don’t get me started

My observation is that dressing in labels is great – love labels, but maybe it’s time to switch it up People …the economy is making brand names have two lines …the upscale and what you can get at a “Regular” store or off the rack. Yes, we all know that it is important not to be seen wearing something, us civilians would wear and most try to avoid being caught with the same dress on at any given event. We can also forge-’bout actors slash designers wearing their own clothing lines to a high-end event, or seeing anyone who makes a living in front of the camera wearing a Vera done for Kohl’s clothing store. I could be wrong. However, it seems like a great idea, a change of pace and given the times would probably bring more interest and sales to the clothes at the “Regular” store. We all know a FLOTUS who wore both Designer and Average Girl Fashion

Anyway, … no one sits at home without voicing an opinion on what these folks are wearing on Oscar night … let’s help change fashion don’t into fashion do … by tweeting some lol advice, and enjoy!

So, it was a whole night off from the Sequester and the next fiscal cliff, which is looming … March madness is at hand people and I’m not talking bball!

Oscar night! Uh, I mean Oscar day and night, started at 3pm maybe earlier, as Ryan seacrest and his team from Eonline chat about fashion, trending manicures, hair or makeup and right about then seasoned actor Helen Hunt walks up to be interviewed. While seacrest admires the $7000 jewels acknowledges her movie “Sessions” the question about whose dress are you wearing comes up and as Helen smiles smirks states guess who guess where I got my dress – H&M. It looked like seacrests eyes glaze over and his face goes stony, showing a bit of distaste seemingly dismissing the actor as no real response was made on the dress. It’s not lost on me that Helen got no head to toe shot and was nowhere to be seen on the Red Carpet though her dress seemed to fit she probably will not be on tonight’s list of must see ,something new , economy friendly dressing up . It seemed as if team seacrest moved on, possibly ignoring the idea, continuing to throw out elite brand names that graced their Red Carpet, sounding like the label mafia so, don’t hold your breath. I definitely won’t be, but the idea of wearing off the rack clothing is worthy of a shout out in my humble opinion. I missed the intro due to the hour and making dinner was much more important then I tuned in when Waltz was on and twitter seemed delighted, it sounds like the show itself is boring … too much ad-lib a bad sense of humor. Actually, pre-Oscar interviews suggested Seth McFarlane was prepared and funny, guess his comedic voice is not being heard very well tonight if at all, could be folks are still debating voting and determining the fashion losers or the guy is just an acquired taste because the one he is leaving tonight is bad.

Honestly, how do you make an awards night like the Oscars more than a formal get together celebrating films in all its forms. It could be time management or lack thereof is the enemy and while the jaws theme was amusing watching someone come out to actually pull an Oscar winner off stage is not that funny amusing or necessary. Award shows like Sports is a good/bad day situation where humans are never a sure thing when it comes to working outside the box or their personal comfort zone. Anyway, the dresses were ok watched for haterator action and there was some for Anne Hathaway and gotta say watching coopers mom sit in between him and Lawrence was interesting , captain kirk looked like he was snoozing Halle berry looked like a metalic referee and well, Kirsten Stewart was a hot mess. If you were watching, you know who won… The men looked ok though some just looked greasy.

Seth wrapped up the Oscars with a song, Affleck got his and as we were about to turn it to the E channel until jimmy, ABC announces they are now going to their OTRC after show only to hear Lawrence Zairian giving a big shout out to Helen Hunt and the H&M dress she wore …loved it!

I have to make a correction … yep, the H&M dress was wrinkled the pin on the back and train … not good. I was excited for off the rack dressing for an awards night … keep trying ladies and i agree … fabric choice is important,though it’s clear Anne Hathaway’s dress was very expensive she made a bad choice in fabric as well.
