When Good Dresses Happen To Good People With No Style...

I blogged this Marchesa dress after it showed in the Fall 2010 show, and never imagined it would turn up on the VMA’s white carpet, NOR did I imagine it would be worn by Katy Perry!

Now, no disrespect to Ms Perry whose ‘Teenage Dream’ was my song of the summer, but she doesn’t exactly represent the magnificence of high fashion, which is what this dress epitomises. This is not a marriage of equals.

My guess is, Ms Perry liked this dress because it has both poof AND sparkle (which would appear to be what she looks for in a dress), but I think she misunderstood the nature of this particular poof and sparkle. Bad. Bad, bad, bad.

2010: Year of Culture

Things I'm looking forward to in 2010?

Valentine's Day

No, not the ACTUAL day, but certainly the movie which I'm guessing will be released to coincide with the holiday which encourages singletons all over the world to dramatically lower their standards in order to keep their self-esteem buoyant.

It has a heck of a cast -- Patrick Dempsey's hair will star alongside Julia Roberts' teeth, Taylor2 will make out (in case you’re not an obsessive tween – that’s Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner), Jessica Beil and Jessica Alba (I personally can’t tell them apart) will also star, as will a Smörgåsbord of other celebrities.

Billed as ‘The American Love Actually’, Valentine’s Day is likely to make a truck load of money without going to the trouble of presenting the audience with a plot.

Still, I’m gagging to see it!

A Single Man

Tom Ford. Colin Firth. Julian Moore. Art-house-gone-main-stream.

I’m guessing, stylish as all hell.

Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton’s acid-trip style sprinkled on a childhood classic? How could it be anything but deliciously disturbing?

The Grace Kelly Exhibition at The V&A

Grace Kelly’s wardrobe goes on display, including the original Hermes Kelly bag. Couture gowns from the 60’s and 70’s Atelier’s of Dior, YSL, Balenciaga… Take a tissue to slyly mop up the drool.

(More) Glee! Coming soon to Channel 4

If you’re not already watching Glee, then you’re no one. However, it legitimately reaches our shores in the coming months…
