Hopefully it's something that will go on and not like a one hit wonder.<br />
<br />
I'll start with the episode 16 of this Criminal Minds season, called Mosley Lane...<br />
In the past I had some friends question my love for this show, as they felt it could turn me insensible to the true horror of what was happening during some episodes.<br />
I agree with them, but some episodes just put you right in your place.<br />
Like this one.<br />
It dealt with children's abductions. They had this theme before, but this one was just... It's like when you read in the papers that some missing child has been found after xx years. I felt for the parents, cause not everyone saw their child come back at the end. It was so sad!!<br />

<br />
Continuing with the law enforcement theme, I caught up with some CSI I had missed. This one dealt with the death of a weather woman (Dee Dee), found dressed up like she's was working the streets.<br />
<object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KH440FDIERM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KH440FDIERM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />
Basically just because there is a woman in the car doesn't mean it safe to go in! OMG!!!! SO SCARY!<br />
<br />
Anyway not everything was about depressing and scary stuff!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I finally watched KBS Gayo Daejun 2009 and I really loved how they all did the famous k-pop dances of 2009, it was funny!<br />

But seeing Eunhyuk wearing bright shoes and trying to be front row at the end made me think of what he said during a recent appareance on Strong Heart.<br />

<br />
It also made me think about the "controversy" regarding the fact that Super Junior copied some choregraphy for their Lunar Special Dance Battle. You can see for yourself! (2mn20 for the first one/20 sec for the second one)<br />
<object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T8JHuJ5Zpsc&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T8JHuJ5Zpsc&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />
<object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/p327oj-mRts&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/p327oj-mRts&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />
At the beginning I was really shocked cause they not only took the chore, but the song as well!! But when I saw the rest of the show, I realized that everybody copied each other, and the ones that probably came up with an original choreography didn't even win!!<br />
So basically I don't blame them for not being original but still it pains me that choreographers get plagiarized out there and can do nothing about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm ending this post with the funniest thing I have watched in probably a long time, my bad for forgetting about the awesomeness that is Canal+.<br />
I leave you with a cut from Le Petit Journal, covering Snoop Doog concert in Paris.<br />

<br />
<b>Fashion Wise</b> (more info here)<br />
So I don't understand why they chose to shoot one part of the video in a jail... I don't see the relation between the concept of telephone/partying and a jail. Anyway I'll just say it was the occasion for Lady Gaga to do a fashion show... Starting with her pair of cigarettes sunglasses. It seems they were lit cause you can see the smoke coming out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4034/94199943.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4034/94199943.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Fierce!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">When she entered the jail she had this very high padded-shoulder dress that reminded me a lot of what <a href="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/985/normal001rn.jpg">Rihanna was wearing in her Hard videoclip</a>. She also had the small tape crosses-like <a href="http://on205thimages.com/images/g52w1y7txzz7iqibs8hx.jpg">we saw Rihanna sporting last year</a>. Of course with those two ladies being at the top of the fashion wave, they're bound to share some similar fashion choices. Unfortunately for Lady Gaga, she didn't bother to wear a bra with her dress... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2343/24539352.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2343/24539352.jpg" width="480" /></a><br />

Jaejoong might be featured in japanese magazine An An...<br />
Ok so far nothing really jaw dropping, you tell me, except that An An is known for displaying male celebs in their simplest apparel and/or in rather compromising positions with female models...<br />
So now it's Hero Jaejoong's turn? The fandom simply exploded. While fans in korea were lining up online to pre-oder the magazine, people on <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/omonatheydidnt/2903985.html">omona </a>and <a href="http://popseoul.com/2010/03/12/jae-joong-to-pose-for-anan-fangirls-bewildered/">popseoul</a> were debating whether the photoshoot would be saucy or safe.<br />
After all, I saw some pictures of some previous male celebs featured, and, oh boy!, some are very r-rated.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">To be honest, I was kinda disappointed with MatsuJun pictures... It was more on the cute side.<br />
Even if I don't find Yamapi attractive, his pictures were rather racy, but the one that topped everything was definitely Akanishi!!! A guy from Johnny's acting like that!!! O.O<br />

</span></div>I got first introduced to SHINee when they came to visit 2PM on <a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2010/01/idol-show-season-3-with-2pm.html">Idol Show Season 3</a>... At that time I thought they looked very young, with this very preppy-cute boy band image.<br />
That was almost one year ago...<br />
They have since released a mini-album : 2009, Year of us and with Get Down, I think the boys nailed their transition into what they've been hoping to turn to, that is a "man's" band - opposed to a boy band. <br />
With a vibe that reminds me of old school hip-hop and the guys going hard on it, I couldn't believe I was listening to SHINee!! I didn't recognize them!!!<br />
We're far from the romantic ballad <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sYuQhy8M-k">Replay</a> - Noona is pretty from one year ago!<br />
Hopefully they'll continue in this direction [and Taemin will grow up]<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/6796/zoesaldana0307104.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/6796/zoesaldana0307104.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the case of Zoe Saldana I feel there is too much going on... I don't really like the tie-dye effect on dress, especially on occasions others than going to the beach. Just add the glittery bust and, wow it's just an overall mess.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Plus the ruffles in the middle give an overall look of french cancan, not very appropriate for the Oscars...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><b>My favorite looks</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7744/camerondiaz0307104.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7744/camerondiaz0307104.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>U-turn for Cameron Diaz from the SAG! Her dress is just perfect for this event.<br />
Gold color, check.<br />
Floor length, check.<br />
A-line silouhette with a flowy skirt, check.<br />
Sparkles, check.<br />
I just wished she'd have chosen a softer lip color, it looks a little harsh with her blonde hair and gold dress.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/1467/photobyrewestcomstarmaxt.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/1467/photobyrewestcomstarmaxt.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know it's black, but at least it's sparkly. I really love the nude/black effect on Tina Fey's Michael Kors dress. A huge step from the SAG as well.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2306/annakendrick0307103.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2306/annakendrick0307103.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Anna Kendricks look very etheral in this Elie Saab couture dress... She's very pale and the dress is almost like a second skin so I feel she should have tried to put her hair in the background... Maybe by getting some shades lighter or a tighter bun... I feel those dark hair are a little overwhelming .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/6504/amandaseyfried0307103.jpg"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/6504/amandaseyfried0307103.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6240/jenniferlopezadds030710.jpg"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6240/jenniferlopezadds030710.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Amanda Seyfried looks lovely here and I really enjoyed the Armani Prive collection... Too bad that Jennifer Lopez was wearing a dress from the same collection. Even if the design is pretty different, the sheer effect gives it away.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Not too bad</span></div><br />

Unfortunately the gold brocade and the dark lips ages her a little bit too much...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/5056/katewinslet0307103.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/5056/katewinslet0307103.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Kate Winslet also looked very glamour in her YSL dress. It's simple and not black. A good look overall.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gossipcenter.com/files/images/miley-cyrus-030710-3.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://www.gossipcenter.com/files/images/miley-cyrus-030710-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Even if I don't know why Miley Cyrus is invited to such an event, she managed to look good and somewhat age appropriate in a Jenny Packham dress yesterday. The skirt is lovely, I wish the entire dress was made of this fabric.<br />

I feel that the top of her petite frame is too heavy, from the chandelier earrings to the heavily beaded bust of her Prada dress... And then her legs are somewhat nude, due to the design of the skirt... Gives an overall unfinished feeling.<br />

I have a girl's crush on Rachel McAdams, I even liked her when she went through her pink hair phase... But even if her Elie Saab Couture dress has the design of an oscar dress, the print and the color don't make the cut for me. Same thing for Maggie Gyllenhal's Dries Van Noten dress.<br />

Her Christian Dior Couture dress is different from what we've seen so far and she look really statuesque in it.

My cousin absolutely wanted to go to a <i>bring your own wine</i> restaurant not too far from Mont-Royal's station. She felt like italian at first but because my last time at l'Academie left me with a bad impression overall, I pressed her to choose something else. Turns out one of her friends had been to Gourmet Asia Fusion, an all you can eat asian restaurant, just across the street from l'Academie so she set her choice on this one.<br />
<br />
My sister is not fond of chinese food so she decided to bail out but I insisted on the fact that it was a fusion restaurant and than amongst all the chinese dishes, we might find some thai and who knows? Maybe some sushi or some indian as well!!!<br />
<br />
Just before leaving to the restaurant we had a quick look at the menu. It looked so good on paper! We couldn't wait.... I was a little anxious because I was wondering if I would have enough space to taste a little of everything.<br />
<br />
<b>The setting</b><br />
When we arrived, the restaurant was packed... People were waiting in line. The restaurant is quite small and it's difficult to navigate between the tables, especially if there are big reservations. I think they were at least 3 birthdays parties this night, taking up to at least 60% of the capacity of the restaurant.<br />
We sat down and because I love to do that, I asked the waitress for more info regarding the meals and how it would work out.<br />
Turns out that whatever you order, they bring for the whole table. If you have some left-over, they make you pay. So if you feel like eating some soup, you have to make sure everyone will want the soup or that you can eat whatever's left . What a big surprise!! Nobody knew about this "rule" around the table, and they were already starting to select their meals. Despite the "warning", at the end, the order sheet was almost full.<br />
People started to panic but when the food arrived, we were all relieved!! They only give you one small plate, with food for maximum two persons on it. We were 11, and I think we ordered around 9 different meals, so we were okay... The only thing they bring in high quantity is the rice/noodles (of course).<br />
<br />
<b>The food</b><br />
For 27 $ after the tip and taxes, the food was definitely not worth it. There were some good meals, like the General Tao Chicken (almost never a miss) and the Sea Salt Shrimps but all the rest was watered down. Literally.<br />
The spring rolls and the soup were missing their shrimps and the dumplings were more like won-ton that real gyoza dumplings.<br />
I think it's a good all you can eat restaurant but don't expect quality meals.Chiara Popalopahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12008642544187242069noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377476874328987852.post-42968972729776032452010-03-05T11:30:00.020-05:002010-03-10T13:15:20.434-05:00安室 奈美恵 (Namie Amuro) - Past < Future<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/8448/600pxamuronamiepastfutu.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/8448/600pxamuronamiepastfutu.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />

Meiko is probably saying to herself " Finally, a post not related to kpop" !<br />
My bad, I haven't listened to jpop in a long time but because of this mysterious cover and the artist featured on it, I decided it was time to give it another try.<br />
I now present you the latest of Namie Amuro who, at 32 and with almost 20 years of music history behind her, is still fresh as ever... She found her style and is doing a good job at it.<br />

Now don't ask me about the over use of CAPS in the titles, maybe she felt inspired by Kanye West, I don't know.<br />
I just want to take those last few lines and talk about <i>FIRST TIMER</i>.<br />
Even if <i>Dr.</i> was one of the first track that really caught my attention, <i>FIRST TIMER</i> recently surpassed this track in the playcount on my player.<br />
The fast /scat beat is really out there and Namie Amuro clearly got outshined by the collective DOBERMAN INC. Like Bjork on her album Volta with Antony and the Johnsons, Namie Amuro made me discover a new artist I'll definitely check out and not that only!! I think I'll start paying attention to the latest jpop releases. It's time!<br />

The aftermath, one week after<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyj9vqq6j01qagad4.png" width="480" /></div><br />
So this is it... Park Jaebum will not be returning to 2PM. In fact, JYPE ended his contract exactly one week before, the 25th of February... <br />
I remember, just before this day, my sister, talking to me about how excited she was about the conference happening the 27th, because you know, Jaebum might come back!!!But then, on the 25th, you should have seen her face... All day long she kept mumbling about this, she just couldn't believe it.<br />
And on the 27th...<br />
After the conference....<br />
Everything changed...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this image I found on the 2PM's soompi thread perfectly resumes what is happening right now<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i49.tinypic.com/11qsgoo.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/11qsgoo.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>So after one week, where do I fit?</b><br />
I had time to think... I made a stop in all the spaces in the image above and reached to a conclusion. I'm a FWSDAGD... Afterall I ended up just enjoying the show and the lulzy that is Kpop... I even registered to 2oneday just to get some new information on all this...<br />
<br />
I got into kpop seriously about 2 months ago.. I had already read about this band with 7 members !!! that had a member leave due to some controversy but I never really bothered to get more interested... Until I got my hands on the <a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2010/01/idol-show-season-3-with-2pm.html">season 3 of Idol Show</a>.<br />
<br />
I now understand where everybody is coming from...<br />
<br />
<br />
I mean just by seeing how my sister (not even a fan) was acting, I can understand how the hottest felt during and after the conference. The members probably had enough time to get over Jaebum leaving for real but the fans only had less than 2 days... I think there was a misunderstanding between both parties due to their attitude...<br />
<br />
<b>Saesang and fans accounts</b><br />
I didn't understand why the saesang/sasaeng (hardcore fans who follow idols around 24/7) had to release pictures of the boys in their free time till I read that they felt attacked when the rep accused them of not protecting the members enough.<br />
<blockquote>Fan: “Why did the company not protect Jaebum?”<br />
Jungwook: “Why didn’t the fans shield him then” (After he said this, it exploded) </blockquote><br />
They showed the rest of the world that indeed they were protecting the members by not releasing those "incriminating" pictures and keeping them hidden from the public eye...<br />
The pictures didn't really shocked me... I understand that at 20 the guys do go out , party, drink and hang out with girls. There is nothing wrong with that. I don't know the impact that it might have had in Korea though. The idol image is supposed to be squeaky clean there.<br />
<br />
What shocked me was the concept of being a saesang... I find it sad that people just follow someone 24/7 and practically don't let them have any private life... I think I would have stayed in the dorm all the time :S ... But at the end, I didn't sign for this.<br />
<br />
<br />
The rumors did shock me as well... Some because they made a lot of sense, yet I still don't know whether to believe them or not. If they turned out to be true it would definitely shed a new light on the band but anyway after what happened, I can't help but to see them differently.<br />
<br />
<b>Will I continue to support them?</b><br />
Why not? I still listen to R.Kelly and The Cranberries... If they put out good and catchy music, you cannot force me not to like and enjoy it. <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/omonatheydidnt/2837465.html">It is sad though that fans have to take sides</a>.<br />
<br />
Still it will never be the same... Everytime I see one of their cf or mv, I cannot help but feel that there's something missing. It's missing Jaebum.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<br />
Good luck to remaining members.<br />
<br />

<i>Overload of cuteness doesn't mean it is going to look good...</i><br />
<br />
It's funny because the models during the fashion shows are, for me, the ones doing the worst job as ambassadors for the clothes. <br />
It may be due to the fact that I'm not seated at the front row and the details don't translate well in the pictures or that the models could as well be replaced by cardboards and we would not see the difference, I don't know....<br />
<br />
I usually have to wait till I see the collection on a real person ( ie. with a real body) or in a editorial to appreciate the clothes and see the collection from another perspective.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately here, I feel the stylist did a bad job, because after seeing this editorial, I don't feel like seeing more of the collection .<br />
<br />
I remember about how I gushed over the <a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2009/09/burberry-posum-spring-2010.html">collection</a> back in September and how I dreamed about owning the glitter trench after seeing <a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2010/01/kate-hudson-for-harpers-bazaar-january.html">Kate Hudson</a> and <a href="http://eiffelinseoul.blogspot.com/2010/02/lee-da-hae-goes-stylish-for-style.html">Lee Da Hae</a>'s editorials ...<br />
Now I kinda wish this editorial would just disappear. It ruined it for me.<br />

It's always hard to review Animal Collective's albums. I can only say that everybody has to try at least once, some songs you'll like, some maybe not, but overall you have to say that they're really a band aside.<br />

Excuse me, I should say half of the Knife or <a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-of-2009-lastfm-32-fever-ray.html">Fever Ray, when I reviewed last.fm top 40 of the year</a>, last December. I read some weeks ago that the band were working on an opera based off Charles Darwin's life and work... I was really intrigued and because I told myself that I would try more of them, I decided to give it a listen...<br />
<object data="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3748242/dewplayer.swf" height="20" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="220"> <param name="movie" value="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3748242/dewplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="mp3=http://download314.mediafire.com/12jzrgitmnpg/zjogzkn325y/The+Knife+-+Colouring+Of+Pigeons.mp3" /></object><br />
<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zjogzkn325y">The Knife In Collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock - Colouring of Pigeons</a><br />
I wouldn't be able to tell if it really fits the theme but the music and the voice of the main singer are quite enchanting and succeed in making you forgetting the track is 11mn after all.<br />
I've been meaning to publish the song but I forgot until I saw yesterday that <a href="http://rabidrecords.com/tomorrowinayear/">the Knife released digitally the whole opera on their website</a> - we will have to wait till next month for a audio release.<br />
That just means that if you're - like me -willing to try more of it, you know where to go! I'll be sure to give a listen to the album as I was really looking forward to the final project.<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> I listened to it and I believe that opera is really not my cup of tea... I didn't enjoy this album so far... I'll give it another try for sure.Chiara Popalopahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12008642544187242069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377476874328987852.post-48228583611555009302010-02-02T18:25:00.002-05:002010-03-09T13:04:03.732-05:00Katy Perry @ the Grammys 2010<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gossipcenter.com/files/images/katy-perry-013110-3.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://www.gossipcenter.com/files/images/katy-perry-013110-3.jpg" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Katy Perry in Zac Posen</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Katy Perry gets her own post to highlight the fact that she really should have chosen a better support for her twins, and a better dress overall...<a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2009/02/51st-grammys-special-katy-perry.html"> When I think I featured her as someone to look forward to last year</a>...

They decided to have a quick preview; the Black Eyed Peas were performing at this moment. After less than two minutes, they already had changed the channel to some a show talking about fishermen or what not... Anyway, something really boring.. The fisherman life seemed more interesting to them that the Grammys!</div></div><br />
I was somewhat excited about the Grammys because singers have been known to take more fashion risks/ play more with fashion that their actors counterpart... This theory has been proved wrong at the Grammys where everybody showed up in long red carpet dresses. Even Rihanna!<br />
I was saying in the post below that I couldn't wait to see if she would been able to top Lady Gaga in her Armani Prive custom dress and there she is, wearing this long feathery white gown.<br />

Not the Oscars...<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Jennifer Hudson in Victoria Beckham</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Even if the dress itself has nothing special, I have to say it looks beautiful on Jennifer Hudson and hugs her all in the right places... Good job!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

This dress is not beautiful at all - with the zipper - doesn't it remind you of those neoprene scuba diver suits?<br />
At least she redeemed herself with her "sasha" fierce performance outfit below, <a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2009/09/rihanna-for-vogue-by-steven-klein.html">that has been seen on Rihanna for Vogue Italy by the way</a>...</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9517/beyoncenew0131103.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9517/beyoncenew0131103.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Beyonce in Atelier Versace</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is really Miley Cyrus, featured on this blog. Even if I don't really fathom her music, I have to recognize when a compliment is due... Miley made a good choice tonight, a simple mini, really cute and well accessorized, a perfect choice considering her age...<br />

Don't get me wrong, the dress is lovely, but unfortunately, she always sticks to the same designer and sparkly dresses.. At 20, she should be experimenting and dress a little more extravagant.. This is plain boring.<br />

She looks really tired and the dress does not fit her at all!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Heidi Klum (middle) looks really large wearing this dress and doesn't have the support she needs! I don't like.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Marisa Miller probably suffer from short term memory loss l because when I saw her dress, it reminded me of the dress <a href="http://blahblahdemoi.blogspot.com/2009/02/grammys-after-show.html">she wore last year</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

And it does not fit her at all!<br />
