I was just glad something that wasn't from Enchanted won, even though I will take some Kristin Chenoweth any time they want to throw some at me and was all XD the whole time she was on stage.
I really hate that I missed Barbara Walter's pre Oscar stuff cause I really wanted to see her interview with Ellen Page. And I really have had enough of Hannah Montana already but I guess at least we can say if one of the tennyboppers HAS to be shoved on us every time we turn around, at least it's the one that doesn't have a drinking problem, isn't on drugs, pregnant or involved in enough scandals to last the rest of their life.
The only dresses I even noticed all night were Helen Mirren's (because omg AMAZING) and Diablo Cody's (because it was so different from everything else).....then I went back and looked at Tilda's. Dear GOD, please pay for a personal sytlyist, woman. Personally, I thought Diablo Cody's appearance was completely refreshing from the kind of boring, predictable night the rest of the show seemed to be. There's just something that makes the rebel in me fistpump and go "YEAH!" when I see someone who doesn't conform like that, not for just the stupid, shallow purpose of being nonconformative for the sake of it, but by just being who they are. However, um....someone needs to inform Diablo that even she is of the skinny, undergarments are awesome things that help keep those embarrassing crotch shots from happening. I almost feel like I know the woman a little to personally now.
And to go out on a tangent, I was also glad she was proudly displaying her ink. One of the problems I have with a lot of people who have/get tattoos is the whole concept of "I have to/should get this at a certain time period in life before I don't want it anymore." Or that it's something they should be embarrassed/ashamed about or feel the need to cover up. Because um....it's kind of permanent, and if you KNOW there's going to be some point where you may not want it or may not want to show it to others, then you don't really want it in the first place. Because to me, that's the ultimate definition of body art. Personally, none of the ink I have or plan to get is anything I would be embarrassed abut or feel the need to cover up for the sensibilities of someone else. Which is probably a lot less courteous than a lot of people would be but- that's just me. If there's some kind of event like that and you ensemble you want happens to show your body art.....oh well. It's body art, it's partially there for viewing of other people. I realize that a lot of people don't see it the same way but- yeah. No, they're not conventional or 'proper' but if neither are you, then I almost think it would be an injustice to yourself to go alone with everyone else just because. And I will totally back that it could have been something more tasteful than a Maxim girl in front of roses but who knows? There could be some complicated meaning or reason for her getting it. You never know. Sorry for the rant that…is kind of ot and possibly has nothing to do with you, but that's just one of my pet peeves. :-)
