Da Emmys part two....

Live blogging, following TLo on the twitter, facebooking all while watching the show AND drinking wine was just too much for me, so I just opted to watch the show, knowing I could pick all this up in the cool , sober light of morning...


So vastly secondary to the fashion is who won and all, so lets get that out of the way

Props to UGA Sigma Nu Kyle Chandler on his win! Go Dawgs!

NOW, on with the show

THE RED CARPET

I am pretty sure they have telephones in Southern California, texts, something that could have allowed every stylist in town to talk to one another and NOT allow this travesty of fashion to have happened, the 2011 Emmy RED carpet

11 red gowns on the same red carpet, welcome to heart ball . Communicate people! Sofia Vergara number 7 on the top pic may be an orangy, but still... not good.I should be breaking them all down, but they just all run together... You can find out who each one is and see larger photo HERE. We really, REALLY need to get away from tight being an accessory.

The Many Lives of Christian Siriano

Our little Project Runway elf, ( the only one to go one to any sort of success ) was represented twice on the RC last night, one very good, one very bad.

The good was the young girl from MODERN FAMILY. Not 100% age appropriate which I do go on about, but it could just be the styling and that silly pose. A beautiful dress, and then there is Heidi. Welcome to Christian and Heidi's old time square dance hour. There are photos of the dress close up, and the workmanship/sewing skills are just off the charts lovely, but the parts add up to a border line costume total. Wonder Woman should have doesy doed over to the next dress

Gleefully Yours

The ladies of GLEE all out in their finest, bright blue dress is up for my worst of the night. #4 is going a little bit twee/Dakota Fanning a few years ago. Odd styling on #2.

Its a marvelous night for a moon dance.

My first reaction to this dress last night was a thumbs down, ONLY for the total stiffness /rigidity of the bodice, but after the wave of red goddess dresses, all Hail Julianna Margulies in Armani Prive. Still part of the collection that I was raving about last year.

Sparkle Neely, Sparkle

Still trending is the now old chestnut of nude gown and bling bling bling, all looking very nice, if only a sliver of been there done that.. Christina Hendricks ( #3 ) in Johanna Johnson is back to her old self, thank the fashion Gods.

More sparkle, #2, Maria Bello looks very nice in this Kaufmanfranco dress. Different styling would have toned down the Vegasness of it.

SOMETIMES JUST PRETZELS AND BEER, 

BUT I'M STILL HERE.

WORST OF THE NIGHT

 There really was not anything wrist slittable horrible last night, my least favorite was this DULLER than yesterdays dishwater Calvin Klein that Mrs. Tom Cruise ( Katie Holmes ) chose. What, do the Scientologists hate accessorizing or something. If the Amish had proms, Just wrong.

The BEST.

OSCAR! OSCAR! OSCAR!

yes, I know it was the Emmy's but both of my favorite dresses were by

Oscar de la Renta

WINNER all the way around. Not only did Modern Family's Julie Bowen take home the grand prize, she is also one of my two my best dressed, EVEN while doing a side pony! That is how pretty this dress is.

Clair Danes looked out of this world beautiful in her Oscar of choice! Moderny retroie clean, the fit, the colors! Brava!

make sure to check out TLo for all their choices and a lovely little story from the NYT :
