Oh no…No, no, no, no, no. Super hero cape and platform work boots? I’m going to close my eyes and try to wish it away.

This is the beginning of a series of Ice-Skating-Costume-Turned-Gown outfits. It’s a trend that should not continue.

I’m not entirely sure why Kate Beckinsale is at the Grammy’s but she looks cute so….party crasher approved!

Houston we have a problem.

(And I don’t think she’s even really an astronaut)

I’m curious if the definition of red carpet has changed and no one told me?

It’s true Paul McCartney played twice last night, but the rumors of a Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band were false…

Seriously? I know you’re an amazingly hot model, but this is just cray-cray.

Part Two of the Ice Capades renaissance….

Raise your hand if you think this outfit needs a different hairstyle.

I thought so.

Check up from the neck up reveals the same hair I outgrew when I hit age 15.

Check up from the neck down shows a dress I hope to wear at 65.

If we could find something to average this all together, we’d be in a good better spot.

Oh hey Nicki! While you’re trying to rile people up with your edgy religious fashion moves I’m going to watch videos of Madonna doing the same thing in 1989…

And then maybe a viewing of Red Riding Hood

Agh! Give me this dress! I could do something with it for a shoot to make it editorial and amazing. But just an FYI that would not include putting it over a pair of granny panties.

You don’t have to tell us twice Mr. Bennett, we’re already giving you a thumbs up.

Bonus points for this dress: You don’t need to carry a mirror to touch up your lipstick, just look at your hem.

They were wearing fur when they walked in…and then PETA found them.

Her: Hey honey, do you think this black leather jumpsuit is too intense?
Him: Hmmm, maybe a little.
Her: What if I add bright, girly yellow shoes that don’t go in any way?
Him: Great idea!

Rhianna and I have had a lot of issues in the past, but she looks AMAZING. I’m feeling pretty jealous…

Hell might have just frozen over, because I actually really love a Paris Hilton outfit.

There is a secret affliction raging through Hollywood. The “Slowly Turning into Star Wars C-3PO Disease.”
In stage 1, the gold is minimal, attractive even.

In Stage 2, the gold begins to grow into a breast plate, slowly covering more of your body and taking you one step closer to Robot-ville.

Finally, the C-3PO takes hold of your whole body and you are a full fashion robot.

Maybe we should hold a telethon?

And this is what happens when C-3PO mutates. Be afraid!!!

Adele looked so insanely gorgeous last night I did a double and triple take. Ditching the reddish pouf for Marilyn locks, red lips and a glittery gown is an A+. Well done lady….

Last night’s display of the Grammy’s gave me ample reason to sneer skeptically (looking at you Chris Brown) and a few to actually nod in approval in thanks to a musician who can (gasp) actually sing winning most of the awards. Cheers for the freshly made over Adele.

Plus, there was a moment to get genuinely choked up at Jennifer Hudson’s emotional tribute to Saturday’s passing of Whitney Houston who might have slipped to the darker side in the last few years, but will be remembered for her decade as pop music personified.

It also gave us oh-so many opportunities to wonder what the hell is going on in these people’s minds. I’m not complaining per se since my red carpet reviews keep me rolling in the proverbial dough, but I just really want to wrap my brain around the motivation behind wearing a gun strapped to your gown.

Anyone?

I would say I’m speechless, but then I’m going to go on and speak! Starting with the platform work boots it is clear the women who attended the Grammy’s are sadly lacking in taste, class and an appreciation for what actually makes them look better. The guys in suits outclassed them this year. Except Adele of course, and Ms. Ross. And I did like Paris Hilton’s dress too-Alternate universe?

This girl is LoL funny. Keep her around.

LOVE the commentary! Too funny!
I think I would put both Paris Hilton and Katy Perry in your Ice Capades category.

Do you have a pic of Jenny Conlee in the dress that Erica Lurie made for the event? I would love to see it!

This “super-hero” woman is dressed in Calvin Klein. Whaaaat? Why, Mr. Klein, did you do this (I can get the t-shirt connection, but not anything else)? A disaster.
