wake up and smell the music

Well, the American Country Music Awards were last evening and unfortunately tacky did not take the night off. I don't know why it's always a shock to me that famous, talented people, who have the means and celebrity to dress well, end up looking like a lard bucket full of armpits. Case in point...

Leann Rimes. Does she irritate everyone else as much as she does me? It's an awards show honey, not buck-a-shot night at the Whiskey Hole.

If it were me and I was wearing a Smurf-blue suit, I think I would just quietly slip in a side door rather than parade myself in front of a bizillion photographers. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that if you can play the banjo and sing about putting a live chicken in your underwear, that you'd be allowed entrance into a country music awards show.

It appears Sara Evans borrowed Angelina Jolie's leg for the ACM awards, and the dress from Betty White. This Monique Lhuillier gown would have been killer on her.

Monique Lhuillier

Miranda...sweetie. This dress makes you look like a gilded Bartlett pear. A couple tips here:

1)Never ever ever wear a dress without some type of foundation support for the girls...cause they are heading south faster than a teenager on spring break.
2)These type of sheath dresses only look good on runway models or those who are curve-deficient. For the rest of us, we end up looking like a boa constrictor after lunch. You'd do better with something that defines your waistline and then floats away from the body. Like this little number from Ralph Lauren.

And Nicole...sigh...

I looked and looked at this picture, waffling back and forth about what was bugging me so much about it. And, I think I finally came to the conclusion that Nicole needs to wear softer, more feminine silhouettes. She has a penchant for wearing tight bodycon dresses, and with her tall, thin frame, I think it comes across too severe. And, even though she tends to wear alot of black, maybe black isn't the most flattering color on her. If you looked in the dictionary under "death eating a cracker"...well...you get where I'm going. I think something like this from Pamella Roland would be pretty on her.

So ending on a positive note. Hillary Scott. She's been on my bad side for awhile. Gorgeous girl, but just doesn't seem to know how to dress her body type. Well, wham-bam- thankyou-maam...absolute perfection last night!

And an honorable mention to Kimberley, Carrie and Taylor. Well done ladies!
