Well, at least we won't have to sit through a Natalia win again.

It's Emmy time, so I feel that I must complain and ramble about the nominations, whether or not I watch the actual shows. Because that's just what I do.

( Is it wrong that I giggled when I found out Burton wasn't nominated? )

I sort of love the fact that General Hospital is apparently "my" show, but yet every year when the nominations come out, I'm always rooting for everybody BUT General Hospital. How sick is that?

WHY is she a fashion icon?! WHY?!

Okay. So Gwen Stefani shows up to the Grammys dressed in what appears to be a leopard-print bedsheet that, for whatever fucking reason, has been dip-dyed bright green on the bottom. (There is a more apt description in jchalo's journal, I believe). This isn't really surprising. I mean, it's Gwen goddamn Stefani. A leopard-print bedsheet tinged with green is basically NORMAL.

But what drives me up the damn wall is that, sure enough, People.com has voted her one of the best dressed. Seriously, if anybody else - anybody - showed up in something like that, they would be raked over the coals. But because it's Gweeeeeen, well, that's perfectly fine. Completely acceptable. Best dressed, indeed!

I mean, take Joss Stone. Yes, her dress was a little....busy....and a little on the ugly side. But it wasn't anywhere near as bad as Stefani's crap. And yet poor Joss Stone is voted worst dressed. I don't understand. It's okay for Gwen to don ugly shit that most sane people would look at and say "Ew!", but when anyone else does it, they're just plain ugly and badly dressed?

I know, I know. I ought to give it up. It doesn't matter what Gwen Stefani shows up in, she will always be named best dressed. It doesn't matter if she is wearing a potato sack (though honestly, a potato sack would look 10x better than most of her "creations"), she is automatically the Most Stylish Person In The Room. I should just pretend I don't see it, but I can't help myself.

In related news.....did Alicia Keys buy her dress at Frederick's of Hollywood? Sweetie, the cut-to-the-navel look worked for Jennifer Lopez, but now anyone else who does it just looks desperate. Sorry.

And speaking of cuts and dresses.....could somebody please tell Sheryl Crow that if you are so freakishly skinny that your ribcage is clearly visible, you should not be wearing dresses that are that lowcut? It just scares people. Unless you're Nicole Richie, and then you just look at her and say "Oh my god, what a cow."
