You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that Tina's dress (hope that link keeps working) stands out less, because of the black, dramatic cleavage, and to some degree the lace. I mean, where can she wear that to? Coffee? It has to be evening.

Bam. It's the body that's the deal here. The dress is just arranged around it, to bring it out.

Thrive to spite them

Even though Yahoo had Evagaline Lilly's dress in their Worst category I liked it [link] .

I LOVED Helen Mirren's dress, it was sexy and sophisticated and goregous color on her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Some more speechiness for Robin, including the extended version of Laurie's crew riff:

"I know that everyone says they have a wonderful crew but logically that can't be the case, they can't all be wonderful. Somebody somewhere is working with a crew of drunken thieves, but it's not me. They are truly a wonderful collection of people, and I am privileged to spend my days in their company, and they smell of newly mown grass."

Then there was Bill Nighy, who, after winning best actor in a TV miniseries or movie, remarked, "I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive until I got one. And now they seem sort of meaningful and real."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Day-um. Salma is just sex personified, isn't she? (Although I feel some residual dislike towards her thanks to her character on Ugly Betty.)

I don't like Lilly's dress, and I don't like her hair with it either.

Beyonce looked wrong. All sorts of it.

hip deep in pie

Beyonce thought she was at the Grammy's.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Oh, ha. You know what's surreal? Having your supervisor's daughter bring you a picture she colored for you while you're in the middle of reading about the dude who goatse'd MySpace.

That article has no images, thank goodness, so I did not forever scar a young child today. Yet.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Even though Yahoo had Evagaline Lilly's dress in their Worst category I liked it [link] .

I think it's the colors. If the whole dress had been of the deeper mauve color, it would have been stunning on her.

I LOVED Helen Mirren's dress, it was sexy and sophisticated and goregous color on her.

I agree, although every time I saw her, the dress seemed a different color, from deep green to a very blue teal.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

More Hugh for Scrappy:

"I am speechless. I'm literally without a speech. It seems odd to me that in the weeks leading up to this event, when people are falling over themselves to send you free shoes and free cufflinks and free colonic irrigations for two, nobody offers you a free acceptance speech. It just seems to me to be a gap in the market. I would love to be able to pull out a speech by Dolce & Gabbana."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Having your supervisor's daughter bring you a picture she colored for you

She colored a picture for you? I don't know why I find that odd...
