2011-07-04T16:56:00.007+07:00

Two beautiful young, aspiring, and (of course) stylish women from the land of British are put onto the front of the cover this week. Their styles are completely a touchdown. Seriously, do they have some kind of food in England to make their people look this sickeningly perfect?

The Ten: Outstanding TV Series This Season.

2011-06-06T18:17:00.009+07:00

Most of our beloved series have come to a finale, leaving us to ponder what's more to come this fall. As we come to what I would like to call as 'dry spell', we take a look back on these following series, which can be considered as the creme de la creme of the season.

#10. Bones

Best Character: It's tie between Bones and Booth. This season, we've seen them taking further step on their relationship where they openly admit their attraction toward each other. Eventhough some obstacles come in form of one blonde reporter called Hannah, we all know that Bones and Booth is the endgame and damn we are right!

Best Episode: The Blackout in Bllizard. Bones and Booth stuck in an elevator while the rest of the team are off solving the case with a suspect that suffers from a plague. Intriguing huh?

Score Card: For starter, this season starts off with slow progression, but spikes in the end. A B- would reflect the season well.

#9 Gossip Girl

Best Character: It's as predictable as Twilight in MTV Movie Award. Blair Waldorf taking home this honor. Between everything that has been going on, every girls want some Waldorf in her. However, next season, Blair needs to keep up by knowing that her real happy ending is not in Monacco, it's somewhere in New York, specifically one person named Chuck Bass.

Best Episode: The Witches of Bushwick. Blair and Chuck back together for a moment to cherish, Serena hits rock bottom, and Katie Cassidy is pure evil. CLASSIC GOSSIP GIRL!

Score Card: B for Blair Waldorf and of course all of the stuffs that have been going on.

#8 The Vampire Diaries

Best Character: Enough said, the show won't survive if wasn't for this character. Damon Salvatore is the heart and soul of Vampire Diaries because everything that comes out from his mouth send us through the roof.

Best Episode: The Last Day. It's one of the moment we remember that yes, Vampire Diaries is like Twilight, it perfects itself with sappy romances but hey that's what we want right? #sarcasm

Score Card: B As much as we love this show, yes, we have to admit that season 1 is so much better compared with this one. However, this show still deserves some recognition for some grungy jaw dropping moments

#7 The Good Wife

Best Character:
Alicia Florrick. She has come a long way from being that scorned woman in the podium. Aside from Margulies' calm and content manner, Alicia Florrick carries different element of a modern renowned woman with her own path to walk on. It will be very interesting to see whether the 'good wife' side is still there after that game changing finale which tested Alicia's own identity.

Another shoo in for best character? Eli Gold, simply put this character is all you want and ever want with its cunning, sharp tongued demeanor, he's the heart and soul of the Florrick's campaign.

Best Episode:
Foreign Affairs. The much excitement generated storyline about Peter's campaign harbor at this episode. Gut wrenching performance by Margulies that will easily be Emmy worth moment.

Score card: For its complexity and smart storyline completed with graceful casts, would have to give this series a B+ for this season.

#6. How I Met Your Mother

Best Character: Barney Stinson. For one simple reason, BEING AWESOME!

Best Episode: Subway Wars. Hilarious race of craziness in order to name who's the most 'New Yorker'. CLASSIC!

Score Card: Possible B+ for its ups and downs (funny times and serious times)

#5. Glee

Best Character: This season, I would have to pick newcomer Blaine as the life raft of Glee. His vocal stuns the audiences, his charm got us wrapped around his finger, and of course, he's the nicest boyfriend you can possibly ask! If only..he swings both ways!
Another one to pick up the win, guest star Holly Holiday delivers strong pitches with sexy moves. Gwyneth Paltrow proves she is a force to reckoned with

Best Episode: The Sue Sylvester Shuffle, there said it! Thriller/Off With Your Heads cause it's a night to remember!

Score Card: B+ for some of the most jaw dropping melody, dances, and moves!

#4 Modern Family

Best Character: Phil Dunphy. He makes us laugh every episode, I mean who paints his van with his racy family picture, jumps in front of his daughter's moving van, and even sprays a salesman with sample perfume? It's that crazy that you can not even believe it.

Best Episode: Unplugged. The craziest episode where the Dunphy does one of their silly contest by not using electronic stuffs. That can only mean one thing, hilarious that will shake your stomach to the core.

Score Card: For Phil Dunphy's antique, Gloria's still heavy accent, and Luke's adorable expression, A- will do

#3. Body of Proof

Best Character: Megan Hunt. Dana Delany can do no wrong, in my book she's always right; that's what shows in her character. Megan Hunt is sarcastic, ambitious, and headstrong, something we woman have in us. More than that, she's a layer of complication, between ambition and reality. For her portrayal, I figure Delany deserves a nomination for Emmy this year.

Best Episode: With 9 episode this season, it's very hard not to question, why this series is not aired in the beginning of the season (not in the mid season) because we deserve more of them. Judging from the following episode, the Pilot still holds the key to the pivotal development in this series. When it comes back next season, we're hoping to uncover more layer of Megan, and possibly a new romance for this lonely doctor.

Score Card: A solid A for Delany's performance, fresh storyline, and witty remarks by the writers.

#2 Nikita

Best Character: Nikita. She's an epitome of kickass beauty with brain to complete. Maggie Q portrays Nikita with such complexity that we feel so left behind with every moment without her. The twisted plot is brilliant, and heads up all for Nikita's role on it. Vulnerability, tough edge, and everything wrap into one. If only this was not CW, she would have received multiple awards for it!

Best Episode: Covenants. This is what happens when an action movie plot is given to a TV series. Multiple gut wrenching scenes, vulnerable moments, and everything with the word kick ass clashing together.

Score Card: A solid A is given for the twisted plot, outstanding casts, and smoking romance between Nikita and Michael! :)

#1 Castle

Best Character: Richard Castle. Boyish charm, genius mind, and of course attentive behavior. What can we ask more? Hmm, maybe Beckett should've answered that one.

Best Episode: Knockdown. An open wound is opened, once again as new facts regarding Beckett mother's murder resurfaced.

Score Card: Every episode is entertaining as ever, so yes, I will not hesitate for an A+ If you are protesting, see the finale and you will understand why.

As for you, what's your favorite for this season?

Sounds in below!

Scorned Woman: Haven't We All Been There?

2011-05-22T19:05:00.002+07:00

"Men get laid, but women got screwed"
-Quentin Crisp

It's ironic how much a quote can resemble reality, even after women declare their emancipation. In the dawn of today's shocking headlines of Arnold Schwarzenegger's adulterous love child, it's such a heinous image for strong woman to be betrayed and screwed over by their own loved ones. Maria Shriver, Schwarzenegger's estranged wife put herself through an endless campaign trail for her husband's position as governor of California state and in the end, she got herself a bundle of joy, but this time around, it's not hers but what comes as the greatest betrayal a woman could have, an adulterous love child.
It dawns on me, as I began to wonder, how many women have gone through the aching heartbreaks of being scorned; more importantly, how many more will it be?
Here it is, the unspoken truth, the final hit on reality, that in this modern era, such thing as Cinderella like fairytale where Prince Charming does exist is nowhere to be found. When the clock strikes twelve, men leave their wives for younger mistress, dancing around as they celebrate their alpha male power. There's no such thing as happily ever after, there's only happily now but not forever for women, and happily now with you and the other for men. Women don't have an affair to remember, what they have is my husband's affair to remember.
Ironically speaking, when we talk about scorned women, we're looking at a list of women who have powerful and admirable husbands. Before the scandal erupts, we always picture them as the guy you take home to meet your parents, with two things everyone seemingly wants nowadays, job security and power to earn more from it. Who can ever forgot about Clinton's White House drama; how Hilary stood by him, through all the mobs of women claiming that they have a night to remember with her husband? Those pains and shames she had to go through was responded with "I think I did it because I could" statement?
Women are there, because they care enough not to run away when things go sour. It's not because they can't, but they realize the importance of their obligation to fight for it till the end. For women, love is a fight that you will be there till the last bell rings. It's not that women is a masochist (eventhough some are), but it's their strength that men shouldn't forget about.
Yes, everyday women are scorned, getting their hearts broken. However, it's what became of them is what matters. Rising up from the pieces, we root for women to stand up and take a look at herself and said, "freeing myself is an option, but staying till the finish line is out of question"
Whether it is Tiger Wood, Elliot Spitzer, or any men out there, women know that being scorned or not, is a chance they have to take in the name of so-called love, but it's them rising above anything is what earns them the medal of honor, of not being scorned women but being the good wife that we all can look up to.
Every women sometimes feel how much pain of being scorned, but the strength of taking the high road is unbelievable.
Scorned or not, being women is a beautiful thing that men could never understand.

-Christy

are you ready for the Big O?

2011-02-26T14:45:00.010+07:00

4. The Fighter
5. Inception
6. Black Swan
7. Toy Story 3
8. The Kids Are Alright
9. 127 Hours

With it, dominating DGA and SGA and almost every awards ceremony this season, I wouldn't be left stammering if this dazzlingly historical picture lost

Best Actor in Motion Picture

1. Colin Firth, The King's Speech
2. Jesse Einberg, Social Network
3. Javier Bardem, Biutiful
4. James Franco, 127 Hours
5. Jeff Bridges, True Grit

There are no way to stop Colin Firth to deliver his Oscar speech, not even a slight stammer. This is a locked in potential.

Best Actress in Motion Picture

1. Natalie Portman, Black Swan
2. Annette Benning, The Kids Are Alright
3. Nicole Kidman, Rabbit Hole
4. Jennifer Lawrence, Winter's Bone
5. Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine

If thing goes right, Portman and her uber famous baby bump will take home the price. Yes, if only Annnette Benning didn't make her 'surprising' win which is you know, possible.

Best Supporting Actor in Motion Picture

1. Christian Bale, The Fighter
2. Geoffrey Rush, The King's Speech
3. Mark Ruffalo, The Kids Are Alright

1. Melissa Leo, The Fighter
2. Hailee Steinfield, True Grit
3. Helena Bonham Carter, The King's Speech
4. Amy Adams, The Fighter
5. Jackie Weaver, Animal's Kingdom

It's not that I have something against Leo, it's just wouldn't it be fun, to watch 14-year-old winning an Oscar for her first starring role, or the goth princess and her eccentric speech?

Best Director

1. David Fincher, Social Network
2. Tom Hooper, The King's Speech
3. Joel&Ethan Coen, True Grit
4. David Aronofsky, Black Swan
5. David O Russell, The Fighter

As a loyal Fincher's fans, his take on the phenomena called Facebook is brilliant. Its about time for Fincher to win an Oscar (after that hurtful lost for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

Best Original Screenplay

1. The King's Speech
2. The Kids Are Alright
3. Inception

5. Another Year

It's The King's Speech, what could go wrong?

Recently, I just returned from a 5-day-trip to one of my favorite city in the whole world (and soon to be resident spot), Singapore. The city is an epitome of what's a functional place is all about, thoroughly organized transportation, lavish buildings, balance between glamor and education. Yes, I've been to Singapore numerous times and I've considered this place as my second-home, literally. However, with every visit, I always discover something rather fascinating about this city which is considerably smaller from my current hometown, Jakarta.

Here are some spots which have personal meanings to me:

Marina Bay Sands (MBS) super tastic pool, a spot perfectly suitable to kill some time by dillydallying while looking at exquisite view of Singapore. For me, I finished the whole twenty chapters of John Grisham's The Confession :)

Ion Orchard, one stop place to shop. Favorite vendors include Topshop, Zara, Uniqlo, Mitju, and lots more. During my last visit, I ate Marvelous Cream 5-days in a row for a large portion. Yummm :6

Forever New has arrived at SINGAPORE :) It makes being frugal almost a catastrophe.
(Located at Raffles City, City Hall)

Hula&Co, Singaporean local brand with affordable price and finest quality :)
(Located at 313@Somerset or Wisma Atria Basement Floor)

Forever 21 at 313@Somerset, 4 stories to satisfy your shopping craves.

Iluma and its unique architecture. (Located at Bugis)

Green roof building at Nanyang Technological University. SO DAMN COOL!

Lasalle and its artistic sites. Too bad I suck at art, if only..

My everyday view, SMU buildings. How grand! :)

Nerdies for life! Kinokuniya Ngee Ann City, a must visit spot for me.

Marvelous Cream, we're two peas in a pod! :)

my future school ;) (hopefully will be in the next 5 months!) -> fyi, got my first call outs for UEE (Undergraduate Entrance Exam) yesterday! awww!
(National University of Singapore, located at Kent Ridge Road)

School of The Arts Singapore (SOTA)

There you go, my very favorite places in Singapore, how about you? Share your thoughts here! :)

EMMY REDUX

2010-08-29T18:18:00.002+07:00

The Emmy's is inevitably closer to date (yes, it's tomorrow) I'm here and back on the business to tell you who I think will win grinning like a schoolboy for winning the top prize!
So, are you game? If so, let us start with the drama section..

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES

Breaking Bad
Dexter
Lost
Mad Men
The Good Wife
True Blood

Who will win? Mark my words: this will be third time in a row, it's either Mad Men or nothing. You don't just nominate Mad Men, you make them your champion. It's an Emmy rule.

Who should win? For starter, I think The Good Wife is off with a thrilling and addicting season. It's a plot that you can no longer not think about, it's compelling and very sympathetic for viewers. The disgraced politician's wife off to a rough yet surprising start, it's a very realistic moment.

The Dark Horse? Don't count it that much but Lost might 'steal' the trophy from Mad Men with its final season (despite a disappointing finale)

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Hugh Laurie, House
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
Matthew Fox, Lost
Michael C. Hall, Dexter

Who will win? With the wins in Golden Globe and Screen Actor Guild, it's a safe assumption to point out Michael C. Hall as a winner. However, it's Emmy's and they have different standards approaching winning criteria. Whatever it is, Michael C.Hall is still a front-runner

Who should win? I wouldn't be that biased but I can't help to vote for Hugh Laurie. I mean he's always amazing, yet he had this egregious snubs and I'm just too sick to watch him losing for another year.

Dark Horse? It's a three-peat for Bryan Cranston? Let's just say, keep your minds open to every possibility people!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES

Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Glenn Close, Damages
January Jones, Mad Men
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Kyra Sedgwick, Closer
Mariska Hargitay, Law&Order:SVU

Who will win? I think it has been locked to Julianna Margulies. Her strong performance as the disgraced politician's wife brought the critics down on their knees. Shall I say, she already bagged half of the Emmy's statue.

Who should win? For the same reason, I believe Julianna Margulies should win this one. She's just affectionate towards the camera with her 'Poker' Face attitude and the despair of the harsh reality acting, she's the perfect winner

Dark Horse? I know, you don't count on it that much but Glenn Close may have her three-peat after all. If she just submitted the right episode for consideration that is

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad
Andre Braugher, Men of Certain Age
John Slattery, Mad Men
Martin Short, Damages
Michael Emerson, Lost
Terry O'Quinn, Lost

Who will win? Between Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn, I would put my money on O'Quinn for his staggeringly brilliant performance in the finale. Beside he's an Emmy's favorite! (not that I say Michael Emerson is not one)

Who should win? IDK, I can't decide, everyone has been so brilliant in this season I guess

Dark Horse? There's a certain possibility that Aaron Paul might snatch this one away!

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men
Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Elizabeth Moss, Mad Men
Rose Bryne, Damages

Who will win? Lots of buzzes have been whispering to me, it's Christina Hendricks but I wouldn't count it that much since she has some heavy competitors, say, Christine Baranski is a powerful contender. At one of the Good Wife episode, she gave me chills even by not appearing in the screen, just plain her voice.

Who should win? It's Christine Baranski for the reason I gave you before

Dark Horse? There's a possibility for Rose Bryne to win with the outstanding Ellen's progress in the latest season of Damages

OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES
30 Rock
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Glee
Modern Family
Nurse Jackie
The Office

Who will win? I'm sorry gleeks, but the Emmy won't go that mainstream and give a statue for this year. Count on Modern Family to win this one with hilarious and formula based comedy, the gays, the plays, and the frays!

Who should win? It's enough to see how much of gleeks I am. Glee for the win!

Dark Horse? We seem to get so excited with new series that we completely forgot the big boss, 30 rock. Hey it's Tina Fey, she can be Ms Vice President, she can take the Emmy's home!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm
Matthew Morrison, Glee
Steve Carrel, The Office
Tony Shalhoub, Monk

Who will win? It's Alec to the Baldwin. He has won this award ever since..the show started!

Who should win? I absolutely adore Jim Parsons in The Big Bang Theory. I think he's one piece of work! (in a good way)

Dark Horse? It's Steve Carrel's last season, who knows Emmy's might be just like us, not ready to let him go!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Amy Poehler, Parks & Recreation
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Julie Louis-Dreyfus, The New Old Adventure of Christine
Lea Michelle, Glee
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Toni Colette, United States of Tara

Who will win? It's either Fey or Falco? it's the double F combination! As for previous year champ, she's not doing that well this season, at least not good enough to take home the Emmy's

Who should win? Usual stuff, Fey!

Dark Horse? She's funny as hell and she's Amy Poelher!

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Chris Colfer, Glee
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
Jesse Tyler, Modern Family
Jon Cryer, Two and Half Men
Neil Patrick Harris, How I meet your mother
Ty Burrel, Modern Family

I WOULD SAY, Everything in the category belongs to Ty Burrel for his amazing performance in Modern Family as Phil Dunphy! I would be super pissed if he lost this one!

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Holland Taylor, Two and A Half Men
Jane Krawoski, 30 Rock
Jane Lynch, Glee
Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Kristen Wiig, Saturday Nights Live
Sofia Vegara, Modern Family

Who will win? It's either Jane Lynch or TV fans will be losing their temper. I mean very Kanye west like.

Who should win? For her portrayal as material girl, Jane Lynch deserves this!

Dark Horse? I wouldn't be blindsided and not consider the possibility of Julie Bowen is near to the end in this race.

So what do you say? Who do you think will win the top prize?
SPEAK UP :)

Emmy's Prediction: Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress in Drama Category

2010-07-09T12:03:00.005+07:00

With the Emmy nomination coming up, it's about time to release my take on who's gonna walk away with the top honor and who's gonna go home empty handed. Let's analyze the possibility of each of our contenders, shall we?

Outstanding Lead Actor in Drama Category

#1 Michael C. Hall in Dexter

C. Hall has projected an early prediction of winning the prize. Looking from the past months, C.Hall has snagged not only Golden Globe but also Screen Actor Guild award, making him a strong contender in ending Bryan Cranston's reign. Last season of Dexter has been on its best, adding with murder and emotional breakdown of Dexter, it's hard to get through C.Hall's skin for this year.
Status: Very Strong (4 out of 5)

#2 Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad

Here, we're talking about two times champion which makes it a safe bet to assume that he's gonna walk away with this one. I'm not a huge fan of Breaking Bad, however I have to admit that Cranston showed a lot of brilliance and poignant in his character.
Status: Very Strong (4 out of 5)

#3 Hugh Laurie in House M.D

Hugh Laurie has always been the person that we're rooting for to win. Too bad, Emmy hasn't realized that Dr.Cranky Pants is nothing but genius in portraying this Sherlock Holmes resemble character. Laurie started the season with strong, compelling performance and ended with a stunning and every humanly as possible. It's hard to imagine Laurie losing this one again. Thus, let's root Laurie for another year!
Status: Strong, everyone's favorite (3.5 out of 5)

#4 Jon Hamm in Mad Men

Like any other, Hamm is an always present in nominee with his critically praised series, Mad Men. However, the chances of him taking the top prize is doubtful. Hamm in Mad Men is attractive at first, but can be boring after a while. It's not that Hamm is a bad actor but Don Drapper is just another of your cowboy casanova in a tux.
Status: Modest (2.5 out of 5)

#5 Matthew Fox in Lost

The newest one to join after 6 years of wait. No offense, the reason that Fox got into this place is that Lost was in its final season. They want to give a proper goodbye, that's all. Yes, Jack can be elusive sometimes, but yet, it's not all Fox's work. The finale was supposed to be epic for him, but..it's just rather disappointing to me, and possibly for the critics.
Status: Low (2 out of 5)

#6 Kyle Chandler in Friday Night Lights

Some of the people keep buzzing about Chandler's outstanding performance. Personally, I couldn't give further comment without watching cause that would be unfair. However, with these powerful gentlemen leading the pack, it would be hard for Chandler to pull an upset.
Status: Low (2 out of 5)

Who will Win? Michael C. Hall
Who Should Win? Hugh Laurie

Outstanding Lead Actress in Drama Category

#1 Julianna Margulies in The Good Wife

or 2 years, Glenn Close has created her reign, where everyone's possibility of winning would be close to zero point. However, this year, a not so newcomer in Emmy (Margulies has won Emmy for her work in E.R) is most likely to pull an upset. Margulies appeared in critically praised and highly rated show, The Good Wife. Margulies portraying the struggle of the disgraced politician wife, that was coming back to her work as a litigator. The performance not only strong but also compelling yet contemplative to some of the viewers. Margulies created such a character that everyone is rooting for and wanting to know what's gonna happen next. This girl is the right one to end Close's two year reign.
Status: Set Locked (5 out of 5)

#2 Glenn Close in Damages

You can't ignore such a strong performance from Close who is now in her 3rd season of Damages. The Tobin case is powerful, critically praised, and of course put the spotlight back on Close. However, with Margulies present, it will be hard for Close to dominate this year Emmy. If it wasn't for Margulies' outstanding performance, I would say that Close got this one wrapped around under her finger.
Status: Strong but Careful For Margulies (4 out of 5)

#3 Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer

This one I can say it's a bit overdue. Sedgwick has been in the nomination for the last 5 or 6 years! This is an example of a constant outstanding work from Sedgwick. She has never done better but never done worse. She's always a favor in the nomination but not enough to take down the others especially with the heavy competition between Close and Margulies.
Status: Modest (3 out of 5)

#4 Connie Britton in Friday Night Lights

Once again a newcomer in this category but a favorite of the viewers. I haven't watched her performance but I can say she got a lot of good reviews to back her up.
Status: Modest (3 out of 5)

#5 January Jones in Mad Men

I'm sorry, I don't get it why she's nominated. Yes, Betty went through a lot of change this season but it's not good enough for Jones to be nominated. Her character is not the strongest one and yet it's not the likeable one too.
Status: Low (2 out of 5)

#6 Mariska Hargitay in Law and Order:SVU

We thought that she wouldn't get nominated for this year, but in fact she is. Like I said, it's about the safe bet. Her spot should've been filled with outstanding performance from Ellen Pompeo or Emily Deschanel that have given quite stuns this season.
Status: Low (1 out of 5)

Who Will Win? Julianna Margulies
Who Should Win? Julianna Margulies

Other parts are coming up :)

TV Report Card: Bones

2010-06-18T15:56:00.003+07:00

I can't seem to decide whether Bones has a good season or surprisingly disappointing season overall. Well, let's see here..
Best Character: Hands down, this season, Emily Deschanel totally brings it! Bones has completely gone over the roof with her mixture for science and opening up to psychology with last season's event. Eventhough in the end, it's still a long road, but we get to see improvements in her.

Worst Character: I shall say, no one did it bad this season but those changing interns are bugging me!

Best Moment: Oh well, 100th episode? That's like..! Brennan and Booth finally! We got to see some of those back to the past improvements. Hey writer, take a note, we want romance (seeing that House finally gave the Huddy fans what they had wanted)

Worst Moment: Sorry, but the finale is a major disappointment. Nothing monumental is going on

Hopes For Next Season:
1. I would like to see more and more Brennan Booth development. Taking a year apart will do, right?
2. Please find a stable intern, not Ms. Daisy Wick for sure!

Overall Grade: B

Tv Report Card: Desparate Housewife

2010-06-18T15:45:00.004+07:00

Today season's card report will give spotlight to Wisteria Lane, yes, that's right, welcome to the suburbs where all the twisted drama and mystery are kept.

Best Character: She hasn't been my favorite, however this season, Gaby has played my favorite. A thumbs up to Longaria who practically succeed in transforming the materialistic and spoiled Gaby into someone who can actually save the day in the finale. Wohoo! :)

Worst Character: I'm sorry, but I find that Susan has become less amusing in this season. She's just lack of interest, chatty, and annoying I shall say. We want the old klutz back, not this you know bitch nagging wife.

Best Moment: I love the whole Bolens family storyline, I found it very entertaining and frankly Drea De Matto's Angie Bolen is warming up on me, too bad, she's gone for the next season :(

Worst Moment: I can say the lesbian scene between Katherine and Robins? Oh come on! Don't make one of our favorite housewives as the lesbian bimbo,cheap!

Hopes For Next Season:
1. I heard that Vanessa Williams is coming to the area, wow, can't wait for the drama here
2. The mystery surrounding the mistaken child has got to be the major plot point

Overall Grade: B+

TV report card: Vampire Diaries

2010-06-15T12:20:00.003+07:00

CW came up with a very strong series this season, Vampire Diaries. I was shallow before and thought of it as another Twilight's knock off. Boy I was wrong! Vampire Diaries is dark, complicated, yet an enjoyable TV series to follow. Every development was exciting, and I will share my excitement with you..

Best Character: Damon Salvatore. A very interesting combination between arrogance and thoughtful character. Damon has this layer where he lands a spot between sexy and sweet. Unlike Stefan who prefers to have his dark world, Damon is more outspoken, less hypocrite I shall point out. She and Nina Dobrev's character shall make a sizzling chemistry.

Worst Character: I don't know why but I hate Caroline. She has no role in this whole series. Just a chatty and annoying friend of Elena. She does remind me a lot of Jessica Stanley in Twilight, but less cooler version of it.

Best Moment: Blood Brothers. Every Moment of it. AWESOME!

Worst Moment: It's those gory scenes where Stefan started drinking blood again. I'm sorry, good ol Stefan just didn't fit the shoes!

Coupled up: Eventhough the whole season, Elena is head over in heels with Stefan. The chemistry is certainly lacking. On the other hand, Damon and Elena? HOT!

Hopes For Next Season:
1. We get to see what Katherine is up to, that would be an interesting twist especially for Nina Dobrev who play a goodie goodie Elena and badass Katherine
2. A budding romance between Elena and Damon would satisfy the fans' need for some chemistry
3. The backdrop story about Tyler and werewolf

Overall Grade: A-

TV report card: Grey's Anatomny

2010-06-15T12:02:00.004+07:00

Grey's Anatomy is at 6th season and frankly, the more seasons passed by, the more I felt like watching soap opera. Thank God, this season ended with a game changing finale. Here is my take on Grey's Anatomy..

Best Character: Before the 5th season and this season, I think Meredith Grey was such a baby, with her nagging and dwelling over Mcdreamy life. However, little did we know, that she completely changed once she has her happy ending with Derek. I really do enjoy watching Meredith grew up and took responsibility of taking care the others and their boundaries. Another character I enjoy is Arizona Robins and her bright and sparkly attitudes. Well, we need more light with those twisty drama they are having, right? In addition, kudos to Christina Yang and her finale moment. Totally an Emmy Worthy performance for Sandra Oh!

Worst Character: Some said Izzie, some said those Mercy Westers, I said Owen Hunt. It's not like I have something against Kevin Mckidd but I think his character is just wrong. Frankly, the character is shallow, dark, gory, and I found it unlovable. Complicating his life with those cheap melodrama, just ruin the whole dynamic in Grey's! :(

Best Moment: I don't have something in particular but I do enjoy every moment where Meredith Derek just simply be husband and wife, very sweet, and very adorable! It's like watching a Prince and Princess' life

Worst Moment: I don't want to blame it on Katherine Heigl but Izzie's departure is way too forced. If Heigl would do an episode to conclude her exit, that would change the whole thing. Izzie used to play such a pivotal role in Grey's and having her gone like that is heartbreaking

Coupled up: I'm a Meredith and Derek hardcore fans but I have to mention some of new couples that I think are noteworthy. Arizona Callie, Alex Lexie, and Ben Bailey.

Addition to the cast: I think the whole cast of Grey's Anatomy has shifted. From the dynamic five of Meredith, Christina, George, Izzie, and Alex into complete strangers. One addition I do enjoy is Kim Catrall's Teddy Altman. I believe she's a good teacher aside from her complicated love story with Owen Hunt.

Hopes For Next Season:
1. A chance for Grey's to get back at its roots, mixing the personal life and medical drama, not being all mushy and sad all the time
2. The continuance of Mer-Der's baby drama. I hope this is just a beginning of their attempt for a baby
3.Owen-Christina-Teddy's bermuda triangle has got to stop! It's sickening. Why don't you two smart girls choose someone better?

Overall Grade: B-

TV report card: Gossip Girl

2010-06-15T11:49:00.003+07:00

After previous report card for Glee now I'm going to hand out another one with another teen based series set in New York's elite district, Upper East Side. Yep, you guess it, it's Gossip Girl time!

Best Character: It's a complete tie between Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf. You know, watching the series would be so hard without the scheme created by these two dare devils. Not to mention, when these two join forces, an impeccably savvy creation is born. I will point this more into one and only, Blair Waldorf. This season, the used to be spoiled brat has transformed completely into a more settled, (can't believe I said this but..) wiser, and still full of deceit. Nothing coming out from Ms. Waldorf's mouth doesn't worth repeating.

Worst Character: Do I even have to say it? It starts with a J and ends with big fat B for Bitch!

Best Moments: Eventhough, this is such a tragic episode for me. The moments between Blair and Chuck in Inglorious Bassterds are superficially jaw dropping. The moment Blair walked with her gorgeous pink satin dress, you knew nothing can trump her devotion for Chuck.

Worst Moments: Oh dear God, you know how I feel about Little J cashing in her V to Chuck? That moment, I was yelling and half-wished I could just throw my TV. Grrr...

Coupled up: The creme de la creme of this series is the pairing between equally attractive, Chuck and Blair. Not that they are fitted to each other, they are a pleasure to watch that is.

Hopes for Next Season:
1. I do hope from the deepest layer of my heart that Blair and Chuck would get back together and have their promised epic love story
2. Jenny would never step her foot ever in Manhattan. That girl has caused enough damages for a lifetime
3. Classic schemes and deceit to pump up the season :)

Overall Grades: B

TV report card: Glee

2010-06-15T11:31:00.003+07:00

Well, well, the finale season is here and I would like to hand out to all of you my report card marks for these most talked about series. Today, we'll start with Glee, who has profoundly attracts audiences from different age and social backgrounds. Who knew everyone who are completely different have same fondness over music?

Best Character: This is a no brainer, Sue Sylvester has gotta be one of not only best Glee characters, but one of the best characters in TV. She gives away witty remarks in arrogance and narcissistic ways. Her quotes are disturbingly inspiring, eventhough I think she referred to gays way too much. Her monologues are outstanding and can be named as one of my favorite TV moments this year. She's a complicated character to begin with,evil on the outside,soft in the inside (possibly!!) Imagine Glee without her, abolish that thoughts right away!

Worst Character: I still think that Terri Schuester is a weak link in Glee's powerful characterization. Lack of unique quality to be brought up and of course, her craziness with hysteria pregnancy and all of that are doubtlessly annoying. The last time we see her flirting with Finn, I got shudder and I practically cringed in disgust.

Best Moments: There are so many moments in Glee, funny, intense, touching, you name it! However, my ultimate favorite has come down to the Glee kids singing "To Sir With Love". I kept having a beautiful picture, actually a rundown from the beginning until now. In the end, I wept in tears. Touche!

Worst Moments: I don't know some of the moments are less-expected. Let's say with the Gold Digger dance and I wanna Sex up? Inappropriate! Rapping up here? BAD!

Best Songs: I'll come down to everyone's favorites, Don't Stop Believin. That was such a strong performance to begin a series! :) However, throughout the season, some of noteworthy performances such as Like A Prayer or Total Eclipse of The Heart were blasts too!

Coupled Up: It might sound cliche but Rachel and Finn got my vote on this one! I mean yes, we've had this ship from the beginning of the series but that finale moment where Rachel smiled at Finn before the Sectionals? That was adorable

Hopes For Next Season: Let's break this down into several points:
1. What about making Idina Menzel as series regular? Have you listened to her voices? Shivers!
2. We hope to have more of singers based episode (the one with Madonna and Gaga are great!) say, Beyonce, Britney Spears, or The Beatles?
3. We would like more and more guest stars like Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, and Lady Gaga herself!
4. Last but not least, let's give Will and Emma a chance shall we? At least I want to know how it will turn out, before the 4 minutes screwed up?

Overall Scores: A-

STYLE ICON OF THE MONTH: Sarah Jessica Parker

2010-06-08T08:47:00.005+07:00

This is a significant example of how fashion can change everything. We all know that SJP isn't the prettiest girl of the bunch, hell, she's not even that gorgeous! However, the way she carries her appearance is a two thumbs up. She dares to put on the front row fashion and despite critics, she manages to look as stylish as her well-known character, Carrie Bradshaw. She takes risks, she follows the trend, and of course, she dresses herself to the optimum point.
Let's see some of her best recent looks:

the SATC fever :)

2010-06-05T06:50:00.007+07:00

Ever since me and my girlfriends watched this movie yesterday (me for the 3rd times), we've been going gaga over how lucky Carrie is to have that kind of life. Today, I hit the jackpot, finding these eye-catching stills from fashion website
Of course, I'm gonna share it with you guys here, a few of my favorites :)

Blending the pastels in the middle of Arabian Desert? CHECK! What about adding them with fabulous shoes? SUPER CHECK!

Definitely not something to wear on your daily market day, however, let's ease up by looking at how fabulous the skirt is! :)

I would raid this wardrobe anytime! The cute thing is, the her and his side! Of course, the couch in the middle of it makes it much more glamorous

If you are not jealous of this, I certainly doubt your human existence! Colorful platforms and heels? Squeal!

Who wants to cuddle up with Mr.Big on this comfy couch? I DO! Hey, the green dress worn by Carrie is stunning too! :)

I couldn't help but to stare at the blending colors of Carrie's dress and the wallpaper color! It feels African to me!

Oh Mr. Big! You are too perfect for words! How many guys cooks, finances, and sparkles like you?

Here comes the housewife of New York in Abu Dhabi!

I am incredibly loving the outfits here! Pink and grey, who knows they make such a cute combination?

Jeez, a bar in a plane? Talking about real first class trip!

Oh Carrie, you always get the perfect outfit, I envy you, so much!

For those who haven't had their screenings, what are you waiting for? I've watched it for 3 times and yet I still want to watch it again! :)

Sex and The City 2: When Happily Ever After Wears Out

2010-06-03T05:17:00.006+07:00

The second installment of Sex and The City Movie was called “lack of sparkles”, “complete waste of time”, and “a complete failure”. I have to argue on that one. I admit that the movie has its flawed, however for the loyal fans; this is the moment that you’ve been waiting for ever since Carrie bumped into Big on the sidewalk for the very first time.

Here are my takes on (almost) every aspects of the movie:

*might contain major spoiler, remember, you are warned*

CARRIE:

Two years entering marital bliss with the more mature and wiser Big, she was in her happily ever after world before a couple in Stanford and Anthony’s wedding questioned their decision on not having children. It left Carrie in doubt whether she and Big would not be in a rut for the rest of their life ahead. On the other hand, Big has turned into a more homey person, opting to watch TV and cuddle or order in take out rather than spend a glitz and glamor in the city. A complete 180 degree from the Big that we used to see.

Carrie, unhappy about that, kept trying to drag her husband to go out with the nagging, whining, and questioning about their capably normal habits. I have to admit it that in this very moment, I questioned Carrie’s way of thinking just like she questioned Big on his obsession to watch TV and cuddle. Completely overwhelmed, Carrie went to her old apartment and decided to stay there for 2 days with work excuse. Seeing how comfortable she was, Big decided to propose an idea of them taking “2 days marriage off” to work on their “issues” (truth is: this is not a major one and can be solved with one sitting, if Carrie wasn’t too shallow). This made Carrie questioned even more on her marriage.

With the rest of the girls, Carrie experienced the exotic and cultural change in Abu Dhabi. There in the middle of a mirage, she ran into former flame, Aidan Shaw. At first, she didn’t start anything until a dreadful review about her book struck her. This sent her into a complete whack. Carrie started to play with fire by asking Aidan to have dinner. It was until in the end of it, out of passion, Aidan leaned in and kissed her. It lasted for a few seconds but enough to freak Carrie out.

Once back from her date, she questioned whether she should call Big and tell him about it. In the end, she went for it and predictably, Big wasn’t really happy about it. It left Carrie wondering, what she was thinking. The truth is she used to want to have this kind of life with Big, busy chasing him around for 10 years. Now that she has it, she went back being a fool and wanted a reverse. Realizing this, Carrie broke down into tears and wondering whether her marriage is doom or not.

CHARLOTTE:
Charlotte was exactly a soccer mom. She was overwhelmed with her kids’ fussiness and her paranoia over the hot nanny. She was obsessed over the possibility of “Jude Law case”. This sent her into every kind of obsessive epitome about the reality. She needed the nanny, even so badly, that the nanny was the first thing that always came up to her mind. One of my favorite scene of Charlotte is when she put down the burden and admit to Miranda that being a mother is hard and she needed a break. It was as if the perfect Charlotte were just like us, overwhelmed and stressed out.

MIRANDA:
There’s nothing major going on Miranda. She quit her job on the firm because she felt that she wasn’t appreciated. Nothing major was made out of it, on the words, she handled it well. In the movie, Miranda acted more like a rock that every one can lean on. It’s very relieving to see her grown up from the issues she had on previous movie.

SAMANTHA:

Samantha fought the conventional and went with the modern issues of women. She was trying to fight menopause. Swallowing pills, lots of pills to stop this natural aging process. However, her confidence was shaken once her pills were taken away by the Abu Dhabi custom. She felt as if once she aged, her life were over. The thing is Samantha would always be Samantha, the young sprit in the body of a fabulous middle age woman.

On the other hand, Samantha also fought against the conventional believe system in Abu Dhabi where men and women don’t embrace in public. She struggled with it, eventually fed up and went for her usual Samantha.

As usual, Samantha was the firecracker. Her presence made us laugh with her ballsy attitude. The way that Samantha thought women should be is inspiring and made such a logical sense. BRAVA GIRL

MEN:

Once I stepped out from the cinema, I kept telling myself. “You’ll find a guy like Big” He used to be a jerk, a baby who didn’t want to commit. However in this movie, he was the complete opposite. Being a settled married man who completely loves his wife wholeheartedly, wiser person, and definitely not the intimacy phobic Big you know. He was very sweet, charming, and shall I say a major eye candy (damn you Chris Noth!)

One, two, three: SQUEAL!

FASHION:
Shall I say more? Patricia Field killed it! It was so fantastic that I choked! I especially love some of the clothing displayed here:

SPARKLES:
Two things that I love the most about this movie’s sparkles: Carrie’s new modest but completely mesmerizing apartment and the hotel in Abu Dhabi. Both of them showed how much luxury can be achieved in both ways

I can't help but to stare at these beautiful summer styled dresses worn by the fabulous four (the definition of fabulous four has shifted from the beatles into uber modern women)
These four ever stylish ladies hit the premiere of their critically debated movie, sex and the city 2 in Japan. As usual, SJP struck the audiences in awe with her utterly sweet Vivienne Westwood floral gown.

The ruffles and the floral pattern is a magnificent combination that startle hundred of eyes, including my very own.

On the other news, I will have my Sex and The City 2 screening today! Awww, I'm so excited! I've been tweeting, talking, thinking, you name it, I do it, about this movie!
PS. I don't give a damn what the critics said, the movie will rock! :)

london, bring out your inner edginess

2010-05-28T06:21:00.004+07:00

take a few seconds to really get a closer look on this look..
i couldn't help but wanting to poke on that head accessory in SJP's head. call me superficial but this look is definitely an original and make me wanna go to forever 21 to grab one of them. attention grabbing? uh yes, edgy? undeniably correct. it's definitely carrie/sjp's quirky pesona that sends this piece of fashion stuff to work.

another point here, the alexander mcqueen dress is a picture perfect of a british fashionista. i think this look is much better than the one in new york, don't you think? i agree to the saying that sjp always figures out a way to stand out among the other ladies. :)

anyway, the others didn't look too shabby either. i'm loving kristin davis' look (she has been constantly looking feminine chic) and chris north looked dapper too, very wallstreet financier vibe.

good news aside, i'm still mortified with the fact that sex and the city 2 will open in indonesia in june 2! what..that's just so unfair! i've been waiting for like a year for this movie and i got later opening date? =_=
point is please dear 21, stop being so shallow by opposing women realism movie and siding with the boys as heroine stuff. that's so last century

in order to repel my disappointment, i did satc quotes reading and here, i will share some of my favorites with you :)

“Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.” - carrie bradshaw

"Shopping is my cardio." -carrie bradshaw

"Life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right."-carrie bradshaw

"I will not be the first one to speak. And if he never calls me again, I'll always think of him fondly. As an asshole."-carrie bradshaw

"You shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it."-Carrie Bradshaw

"The thing is..there are some things we don't admit because we just don't like the way it sounds."-Charlotte York

"Honey, you have to let it go. If I worried what every bitch in New York was saying about me, I'd never leave the house."-Samantha Jones

"Yeah, I am harsh. I'm also demanding, stubborn, self-sufficient, and always right."-Samantha Jones

For those of you who have watched sex and the city 2, spoil me please, drop some comments and that would made my day, thank you :)

20 random thoughts.

2010-05-26T18:17:00.008+07:00

i'm sitting in front of this ancient laptop and i couldn't help but to think about these 20 completely random things that have been jumbling in my brain for the rest of the evening.

#1 sex and the city premiere date in indonesia. God knows, i have been anticipating this all girl movie ever since the stars were still in talks about coming back. so please, if you have slightest idea about it, tell me!

#2 still on sex and the city. i'm staring at SJP's yellow-greenish Valentino dress and i kept thinking, "does fabulous look last forever? cause it certainly looks like one"

#3 what's up with the love for korean pop? yuck! no offense but those half heterosexual men are less hotter than real gay people. they're exquisitely more fabulous that those adolescence kiddies.

#4 what would the world be like if jane austen were still writing her realism writing?

#5 are there any women much more fearless than angelina jolie? watching her climbing and hanging down buildings, dang, i'm doubting her existence as an ordinary human, a mutant, yes, an ordinary woman? doubt it.

#6 why certain boy has tendency to join the girls' for some inside scoop? to fit in? that would be so wasted, cause the least exciting thing is to have straight man hovering around like a sick puppy

#7 is inscribing "cradle to grave" with my oldest bff on something considered tacky?

#8 who will win american idol? lee or crystal? simon says who?

#9 what should i do knowing that life is too short for drama while everyday everyone in my surrounding creates one, less or more?

#10 is nowadays women tend to adore the gays better than the straights? the best thing is, gays don't break your heart and they're not insensitive like real guys do

#11 why do we fake everything, we fake laugh, we fake cry, we fake labels, is there such thing as originality?

#12 sawyer and juliet are the most adorable pairing in lost. the hot tempered sawyer met his match with soft&serene juliet. still, thinking processing though with juliet's cursing, "son of a b*tch" while knocking on a bomb.

#13 is grey's anatomy losing its spark? cause i'm getting sick of owen. he has reached beyond annoying point

#14 can one die because of having too many..dreams?

#15 sue sylvester does resemble one of my teacher, hmph

#16 joe jonas and demi lovato broke up already. haha, the disney stars have turned into another crowd of paris hilton and co

#17 when will glee do an episode on the beatles or bee gees?

#18 nicole scherzinger just won dancing with the star, yet i'm not suprised,yes, she can dance (i'm here to testify)

#19 what kind of craziness will happen this weekend? :)

#20 should i watch laws of attraction tonight? (recently coming into my mind)

a piece of CARRIE BRADSHAW

2010-05-17T20:22:00.015+07:00

Before I start, let me get this straight, I'm a total goner for Sex and The City. Hell-o, it's not only about the envy-worthy clothing, it's the girl empowerment plot that sets the trend! Out of all the equally (well, not so much) girls, I'd take Carrie Bradshaw, anytime, anywhere, anyplace. Once again, let me validate a few things. First, yes, she has hundreds collections of Blahniks but you know what, she has the 'it' factor to flaunt it! Second, her character is quirky, bubbly, uniquely chic, and extremely adorable. Nobody hates Carrie Bradshaw! Third, her on-off story (which ends in hopefully a happy ending) with "Mr.Big" sold me to the ground! I'm just crazy about their sizzling chemistry, 911, fire burning for sure.
So, today, I'll present to you few (that's without a, you can't get enough of it) Carrie's best looks! ENJOY!

#1 Tutu Ballerina

It's the iconic tutu that's credited every SATC credit! Believe it or not, it's worth $5 at first! Oh wow! The genius Patricia Field chose this tutu dress because it reflects on Carrie's personality, quirky with sweetness inserted! Awww :) Remember on the movie, this is A MUST KEEP!

#2 Paris When It Sizzles

One remark: HUGE! The Versace dress is clearly a perfect ending to the series! “The dress is every woman’s daydream gown, just acres and acres of tulle and chiffon. You’d expect a dress like this to be pink, but it’s this darkly romantic color—the perfect dress to be dumped in,” said Rubenstein. “There’s nothing more woeful than seeing a beautiful woman all dressed up with nowhere to go.” What can I say? The dress took my breath away

#3 Pastel in Display

Remember this dress when Carrie fell into the lake with Big? Yea, that's the dress (Richard Tyler) that I want to wear when I'm half-drowning with equally stunning looking man! It's a perfect pastel match with killer handbag too! (PS. It's Louis Vuitton) Another way to describe the dress? classic vintage, classic Carrie!

#4 Carrie-d Away by The Necklace

Okay, the necklace is legendary! Think about it, I want one with my name inscribed on it! It's unique, no one will have one like yours! Adding the fact that it can be matched with everything in your closet (even Chicken Suit) adds another point too!

#5 Ms Walking Newspaper

Hands down! Before Gaga even knew about this style, Carrie Bradshaw had went with it! It's a definite crowd stopper and you know what, turns out it has meaning behind it. It's about season 3 with all the talking! What can I say? WOW

#6 Casually Chic

When you're not in the mood being quirky, you can always try for this look! It's very laid back yet chic, very stylish yet simple, with strappy sandals. We beg to differ Carrie!

#7 Stripey Stylish

I don't know whether it's the flower or the fact that the whole pattern just match because this look is definitely working! At her arrival in Paris, Carrie already dressed to impress and she got some big flower to show! It's definitely ' An American Girl in Paris'

#8 It's a Pink World

Wow Carrie! This is the most stunning gown, I've ever seen! Tres Chic! Plus, the crazy hair do is a mood booster too! How can you not love this woman? She's stunningly amazing. Course, that detail on her dress is right now driving me crazy!

#9 Green Fever

You can't say no this beautiful body con dress with floral details! It's the first dress that I've seen Carrie in from the movie that just grabs my heart! It's the first classical moment where my heart just goes to the movie! :) Awww

#10 Floral Pattern

A complete sucker for this one, you know how much I love floral right? SO, go ahead and try, but I'll stand by what I said :)

There it was, few of my favorites! I remember Carrie once said this:

"and we were dressed from head to toe in love... the only label that never goes out of style"- carrie bradshaw

I think her perfection in looks doesn't come from her gorgeous features, but the way she carries herself, dignified stylish women who knows what she want :)

If you have any more remarks about Carrie looks, holler away! The comment button is next to the post! wohoo ;0

my take on 2010 MET Gala Ball

2010-05-04T19:04:00.022+07:00

Yes, the creme de la creme of fashion event has just passed and here we are, observing very thoroughly with the beautiful dresses and of course, fashion-recognized figures :D

Here are few of the most traffic stopping dresses:

1. Eva Longaria in Marchesa

I hate to point out the fact that such a beautiful dress can end up so wrong in such a beautiful girl too! Eva and dress is not a perfect team because the color of the dress is clearly not blending well enough with Eva's skin tone and her make up is ugh, adds up 10 years to her looks!

#2 Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu

It's a very simple dress to begin with, oh well, Mulligan in her 12-year-old looks surely fail to grow up in this Gala. I mean, she looks 12 don't you think? It's the dress that you wear to meet your sister or cousin, not for a Gala, hello?

#3 Marion Cottilard in Dior

I'm in complete nightmare just looking the combination between Cottilard and her dress. What's wrong with the look? Oh let's start with the very old-looking make up and the hair do doesn't help too! Finally, the very conventional detail in the dress doesn't ease up the pain too!

#4 Thandie Newton

A very nice example to combine skin color with dress color :) I think Ms. Newton got this one right! I mean, it's just so pretty! Oh you know, the purple violet color is so blooming, just like the spring! What else? Great hair do and make up too! :)

#5 Anne Hathaway in Valentino

Absolutely ravishing in that dress! Hathway never look prettier than this! The dress is sparkly, the hair do is youth looking, and her make up does compliment her princess aura! What can I say, once a princess, always a princess!

#6 Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad

One of my favorite for the night! J-Lo went for it all with her festive and attention grabbing dress. It's a perfect looks for the gala! :) Who's the designer anyway? He can be the next big thing you know!

#7 Blake Lively in Marchesa

Fashion goes terribly wrong? Oh dear Blake, I would love if you have a sincerity to cover up your assets with something. Plus, dressing up less doesn't mean you'll get more attention, well probably yes, but not in a very good way! And yea, stop tanning that much, you look awful!

#8 Kristen Bell in DVF

Very unique looking dress? It does look like a shred of newspaper put together into a dress! However, as you look more into it, you find it pretty edgy and of course, innovative! :)
Adding the fact that Bell looks amazing in it does give more compliment to the dress!

#9 Kristen Stewart in Chanel

I'm not gonna start a fact that it's Chanel or it is Ms. Stewart itself. Cause tonight, these two are just wrong! God! I don't know but I'm not feeling the Sophia Loren/Bette Davis' vibe that the look is giving me! Just a no-no!

#10 Gisele Bundchen in Alexander Wang

This couple is stunning but as for Gisele, it's not in a very good way! Well, it's indeed very risque and unique. However, I forget the mentioning of the Gala! Yes, Gisele, dress to the occasion!

#11 Taylor Swift in Ralph Lauren

As usual, Ms. Swift never fail to impress the crowd! However, the more you see the white long gown, the more you feel like asking her, "Are you living in the 19th century of the 21st?"

#12 Eva Mendes in Dolce&Gabanna

Two comments for the looks: the dress is pretty but doesn't fit Mendes perfectly, I mean really, really!

#13 Sienna Miler in Emilio Pucci

A very smooth "we're on again" red carpet debut from Jude and Sienna! Sienna looks so ravishing in her dress. Yes, some of you said it's skanky, but I'm lovin the dress! Say no more, one of the best dressed nominee!

#14 Lily Collins in Chanel

America's rising star, Lily Collins looked absolutely gorgeous in the beige/greenish color dress! The hair do is so pretty too! Of course, she maintained herself with grace and poised attitude to carry on the dress!

#15 Sarah Jessica Parker in Halston

The dress is a reminder that SATC 2 is right around the corner! Sparkle and very dashing, very SJP! What can I say? This dress will grab headlines and turn heads all over again! :)

#16 Emma Watson in Burberry

Best dressed pick for the night! The dress is a perfection, a Greek Goddess resemblance! The hair do, the make up, Emma, you rock the night!

#17 Anna Wintour in Chanel

You know what, I've always imagined her wearing the dress and finally! Yeaaa, it speaks like she's the queen of the night, and indeed she is!

#18 Diane Kruger in Calvin Klein

My eyes are playing tricks on me! This is very Ashley Olsen circa 2009! Sorry, Kruger, you're not going home with best dressed! :(

So, what do you think about this year GALA? Which dress grabs your heart?
