Tag…You’re it! 40 Beauty Questions

A few people suggested I start doing youtube videos. But I’m way too shy at the moment…maybe one day, you never know 😛 

On that note, I do have a few favorite youtubers. Scandalousbeauty is one of them… she did a 40 beauty question tag recently. I thought it was a great idea, so I would like to share my answers to those questions.

My 2010 Oscars Review!!

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards took place last night and I enjoyed the show. When I first saw Zoe Saldana on the red carpet… I gasped, because the bodice of her dress was breathtaking and I instantly fell in love. I thought she would be my standout person of the night. But as the camera began to travel down her dress, I realized I didn’t like the bodice of her dress paired with the ruffles at the bottom of her dress.      

With that being said, below are all the ladies whose dresses made me look twice:         

 

Vera Farmiga... Her dress was stunning!!

  

 

Queen Latifah...She was glowing, and you know how I feel about Pink, lol

 

 

Anika Noni Rose.. I really loved the top of her dress.

 

 

Elizabeth Banks...this picture doesn't do the dress any justice. I loved it!

  

 

Zoe Saldana... Loved the bodice, but didn't like the top half of her skirt.

My Other Thoughts:     

• I loved that Christoph Waltz won for Best Supporting Actor. He was soo funny (yet soo evil) in “Inglourious Basterds”.
• Mo’Nique winning the best performance by an actress in a supporting role for “Precious” was my proudest moment.  Although, I didn’t agree with the first part of her acceptance speech… but overall, I was very proud of her. She deserved it!
• Steven Martin and Alec Baldwin were hilarious as the hosts for the night.
• I was surprised “Avatar” was not nominated in the Best Makeup Category.

What did you guys think of the show last night?      

Thots,
