Good morning, Tuesday. Had a lovely evening last night with an old friend and we laughed for two hours straight. Was wonderful. In honesty, I sort of forgot it was the Emmys, or I meant to forget. I'm feeling like all of these ridiculous awards shows are too stupid to continue. I'm not sure why these people need so much acknowledgement- I'm tired of the whole thing. In fact, I just want to go back to bed.
Case in point- who needs to see Sofia Vergara spinning around a pedestal? I'm not in the camp that this was some big F U to feminism, it was really more of a F U to humanity because her idiocy is sort of gender neutral if you ask me. I find her incredibly boring, hot body and all. I'm sick of her tight dresses, her overdone makeup, her grating personality. Funny she is on a show called Modern Family. She's the furthest thing from a modern woman that exists. But then there's the modern women that make other modern women look terrible, like Lena Dunham.
Can somebody explain to me why Lena Dunham can't dress herself? What the what is up with the business up top crazy on the bottom thing? Whether you love "Girls" or not, Lena is a smart, potent, and thoroughly modern woman. I like what she throws down, except when it comes to the red carpet. I have never in my life seen anyone get it so wrong, time after time. From not being able to figure out how to wear a proper bra to accentuating all the wrong stuff to looking just plain bizarre, it's wrong every time. I realize that evening dress is not easy- I don't look good in a gown but I know this. There would be so many better ways to go- I like the blonde hair, but how about something navy, something not so full in the skirt? You can write some of the best scripts on TV but you can't figure out how to dress your body? It's not right. Fire your stylist, Lena. Right now. Or get one. Either way. Please I beg you to stop trying so hard, it's almost like you're doing it on purpose. Is it really that hard with the access you have to people who can help you? Jeez.
To me, the whole awards show brigade, with pose-offs and mani cams is just so stupid. Nobody has any originality, everybody wears a designer dress, and gets photographed ad nauseam for it. It seems red was a big color for the Emmys. It also seems that starvation and botox are very much in style too. With the way fashion is going, don't these awards shows just seem so ridiculous? Add that to the fact that the money they spend on clothes, jewels, stylists, hair, makeup, transport and parties could solve some problems for people in need. I'm just tired of the genre and ready for what's next. Sofia spinning kind of did me properly in.
Sure some looked lovely- Julia Roberts always looks like she could go right from an awards show to a walk on the beach (a good thing), and Robin Wright's just the hottest thing ever, even if this jumpsuit somehow reminds me of that horrid Celine Dion moment years back. Others who made the cut? Lena Headey, Zooey was pretty in pink, Lizzy Caplan in that Donna Karan black and white was incredible too. And Alison Williams looked beautiful if not too skinny, while Ms. Silverman in Marni is coming into her fashion own somehow. But really? The whole thing feels so very played. Meh. And meh again. Maybe I'm just a poor sport, or maybe I just want to read my September issues. I think I just love fashion too much to see what it's become. I feel guilty, but I'm so bored with Hollywood fashion.
Maybe this whole normal dressing/normcore/back to basics moniker can be attributed not just to craving comfort, but also as a reaction to all of this gluttony and excess. I think just being yourself is the most glamorous thing in the world. Perhaps it's all just a case of major league fashion fatigue, and if that's the case, these stars are making me tired, just looking at them. Cause that's what's up this bored with fame kind of Tuesday in the 212. Yours, in keeping it real. XO
