After further investigation

Okay you know what, I was so dissatisfied with my initial MET ball 2009 encounter I went digging for more. And oh boy did I find more...

Firstly here are two dresses I quite enjoy.


Diane Kruger in Chanel. As irritating as I have found Diane in every film I've seen her in, this is one cute dress. Even just for grocery shopping, this gets my vote.


Kate Bosworth in Stella McCartney. Again, yet another irritating actress in a rather nice dress. The length is a bit too Morticia Adams. Give me this dress, rip off all the material below the knee and you'd have one very happy camper over here.


Now, let's take a look at what else I found...


Katy Perry is the definition of fugly. This is totally messed up. The hair, the dress, the pose, the way she spells Katie, should I go on? I can't even make my self hate on her anymore. That's how disgusted I am over this one.


Laura Hollins (a.k.a Agyness Deyn) grinds my gears. She has no taste and/or style, and I think this proves any doubters wrong.


And finally, a highly disturbing image to go to sleep to. Madonna. Fucking hell. Not only is this 'woman' some kind of unexplainable freaky excuse of a human (let's not begin to discuss how she haunts me) but this outfit is a total insult to this event, fashion and my eyes. Give up, you are no longer young!

MET Costume Institute Gala 2009

I was really looking forward to this year's MET ball. You usually get some really great gems out of it, or at least some interesting choices to mull over. This year, however, I have been left feeling very much...ripped off.

There were no great WOW dresses. The Olsen's looked great (but I'll leave that for our in-house Olsen Twin expert Bif to b.l.o.g about later). Justin Timberlake wore some fabulously entertaining specs and in all honesty, my favorite outfit would have to go to Kirsten Dunst's borderline dowdy Chanel number - which in my opinion had slightly more 'pow' sashaying its way down the runway than on Hollywood's favorite snaggle tooth; maybe this is because I have yet to see an action shot of pretty little snaggle in this fantastic dress. Okay, I guess if I was stuck wearing Claire Danes' dress I wouldn't have a complete fit. Maybe just a very loud grumble.





As for the 'what were they thinking??!!' segment, well, that too was a complete let-down. I feel totally duped not really being able to go totally off on anyone's dress this year. The most disappointing thing about the bad outfits is that they seemed only worthy of a circa 2000 Academy Award attendance, not the freaking MET BALL you nincumpoops!I'm looking at you Renée Zellweger, Hilary Swank, Brooke Shields, Amber Rose(Kanye West's shorty)and Marisa Tomei.




Sigh, I shake my head in utter disappointment.

p.s. Helena's dress is a little weird. For some reason it reminds me something eye-patch Nadine would wear to this event. But still it's not TOTALLY mind-boggling strange, urgh! I just like how Zac Posen seems to be swaying from side to side in a semi-line-dance-move sort of way - wouldn't that be great if he really was! Someone get me a video of this and it will make this year's ball the best EVER! Regardless of what you may have just read.
