Best and Worst of the Oscars

Let's get the boring awards out of the way first:

Best Dressed Male:

I bet you expected me to pick Rob for that, huh? Well, think again. 007 was looking mighty fine and his tuxedo was so perfectly tailored, it is undeniable that he was the best dressed male.

Best Dressed Female:

I thought Tina looked gorgeous on Sunday night. The dress, her hair, the earrings-it was all perfect. She should be proud that as a television star, she put some of the big movie stars to shame.

Best use of color:

Natalie looked gorgeous and I love that she wore a color that most people stay away from. Her skin looked amazing. What happened to her? I haven't seen her in a movie in awhile.

Best Dressed Nominee:

Tie!

I couldn't choose between these two lovely ladies, who were my picks for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress as well (not that I thought they would win, I just thought they should). These are two ladies that often miss the mark in fashion, but they both got it right on this night, which is one of the most important nights of their careers. Bravo Marisa and Anne!

Now it gets more interesting:

Worst Dressed Female:

Disney, say it isn't so. Are you trying to hint at the fact that you are planning to make a live action remake of The Little Mermaid starring Miley? Because that would break my heart. This ho cannot play Ariel. And she doesn't know how to dress herself either. The whole look is something awful.

Worst Dressed Male:

Sorry Mick. I love ya, ya know I do, but this is very pimp-ish. You can do better. But I love you anyway!

Other Amazing Fashion Achievements from the Oscars:

Robert Downey, Jr. gets the Dick Clark(before he had the Stroke) Award

because he somehow managed to shave 20 years off of his look. We haven't seen him looking this young since Less Than Zero . Did he find the Fountain of Youth whilst sleeping in a young neighbor child's bed?

Sophia Loren gets the My Wig Looks even Worse than Kim Zolciak's Award

Sophia, you are one hot lady, and you are way too hot for that broke ass wig. The only thing worse than that is the monstrosity to follow:

I'm talking to you Mary. That's right, I'm calling you Mary because I refuse to address you by your given name. You will always be the bitchy trouble-making older sister from 7th-Heaven to me. And today, you are being honored with the My Hair looks even worse than Sophia Loren's Wig which is Worse than Kim Zolciak's Wig Award I'm not even going to comment on the travesty that was your dress or your horrible bridesmaid shoes in black. I'm just going to say that I'm not surprised Justin didn't want to be your date.

The little kids from Slumdog Millionaire get the So cute they should be part of the Brangelina Brood Award.

Speaking of Brangie, Angelina gets the award for Best Jewelry.

I'm feeling Emerald Envy. These are gorgeous and so is her hair.

Mickey Rourke, I know I called you Worst Dressed and you didn't win the Oscar, but you aren't going to walk away empty-handed! You get the award for Best Jewelry incorporating a Picture of a Dead Dog. Congrats!

Amy Adams is the winner of the Thanks for making me feel more secure in my Paleness Award.

But she also won Worst Jewelry. Sorry, Amy, but that thing around your neck is ugly.

Kate Winslet is the winner of the Biggest Fashion Letdown Award.

Kate, you looked amazing all awards season. Why go matronly now? I mean, your hair looked awesome, but I really wish you had just worn your Golden Globes dress again for the Oscars instead of wearing this yawn-worthy dress.

Beyonce and Mario Lopez are the winners of the Even We Don't Know WTF We Are Doing Here Award.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the winner of the I Look Like a Hobo at the Oscars Award.

You couldn't take the hat off for the night? Really? Take note of the award to follow.

Rob Pattinson is the winner of the I may be A Hobo Most of the Time, But I know I'm supposed to Dress Up for the Oscars and looked Classically Handsome on Sunday Award.

Swoon.

Emile Hirsch is the winner of the Made Me Swoon Almost as Much as Robert Pattinson Award.

Dev Patel & Freida Pinto are the winners of the Ship them Almost as Much as KStew & RPattz Award.

They are lovely. These two on the other hand--Heidi Klum and Seal are the winners of the Only Couple who seem More Annoying and Out of Place than these FolksAward.

Congrats to all the winners!

My posting will be sporadic at best over the next couple of weeks as we are in the process of moving (Yipee!) and I need a mental vacation.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Well, it's not a shampoo bottle now!

Now that I've calmed down, I would like to discuss the rest of the Oscars. And today I'm too lazy and distracted to post a bunch of pictures you've already seen before elsewhere, so if you want visuals, click here (I figure if you are taking the time to read this, you've probably already seen their outfits anyway).

So, first of all, I loved Hugh Jackman. He made me laugh and it wasn't at how bad he was. I usually hate the hosts of these things. Was he corny?; absolutely! Did he seem kinda gay?; well, you know I'd rather sit on my lips than judge someone, but I think it's doubtful that he'd score a 0 on the Kinsey scale. But he's definitely not alone in that fact. There is no denying Hugh's likability, and I think everybody was rooting for him to do well, and he delivered. My favorite part of the opening number was "The Reader". As far as his duet with Anne Hathaway; well, that went a little too far on the cornball scale, even for me.

Another thing I liked: the old people announcing the nominees. It definitely had a sorority/fraternity feel (not that I would know from personal experience, but I've watched enough Beverly Hills, 90210 to be an honorary Alpha) and I found myself tearing up. I thought it was a nice consolation for the losers, because you can't feel that bad about yourself when Shirley Maclaine just told you how awesome you were.
So, otherwise:

1) I'm happy Heath Ledger won. His family spoke beautifully and it gave me a case of the sads.

2) Did anybody else think that Penny Cruz was speaking Spanish for the first half of her speech until she calmed down and announced that she would be saying something in Spanish?

3) Thank God, no one got the horrible orchestra send-off during the middle of their speech. I always worry about those people for the rest of the night; I know I'm the exception in this regard, but I think if people wait their whole life for this, they should get their two minutes or however long they need.

4) If I have to see any more clips of Frost/Nixon I think I'm going to go find Frank Langella and gouge his eyes out. I don't understand why everybody loves him so much. He creeps me out.

5) One of the documentaries was called Smile, Pinki!; it actually won. This made me giggle uncontrollably because I call my mom Pinky and it just made me laugh. Well, then I found out that it is a movie about people getting Cleft Pallate surgeries. Way to bring a girl down, Oscars.

6) These things are too damn long. Can't we just have another ceremony for all the boring crap? Or add some of this boring crap to the boring crap that Jessica Biel (who looked terrible by the way) hosted?

7) Oh, Kate. I feel like I know you. I wish I did. I just want to come drink tea and eat crumpets with you. Can I be your Nanny? I want to come live in London. Your speech was corny; you were definitely meant to be an actress; I just love you. I should probably go see one of your movies now.

8) When I was in NYC last year, Mr. Bunny and I had this ridiculous night where we walked all the way to the Empire State Building in the rain and then had a terrible time there because it was an overpriced tourist trap and under construction and windy. Anyway, after all that, all I wanted was to get in a cab and go back to the hotel. Well we couldn't find one, so we got in one of those rickshaw/pedicab things. And the pedicab guy was this really nice Canuck who reminded me of Steve Zahn. He's pedaling along and we're a couple blocks off of Broadway on a back street with several bars. I'm looking around the mostly empty street while Mr. Bunny and Canuck Zahn are discussing music or Canada or something and all of a sudden, I see a man walking alone. He is quite famous and I'm starstruck.

I turned into Ariel and couldn't speak--literally couldn't find my voice. Not that I would have said anything to him (I'm scared he would punch me in the face. I'm not gonna lie-this guy scares the ever loving crap out of me) but to get Mr. Bunny's attention. I'm also pretty much paralyzed and the only thing that's moving are my eyeballs, which are following the star as he crosses the street. The only other part of my body that wasn't paralyzed was my arm, which I was continually punching my husband with. I finally hit Mr. Bunny enough times that he looked over at me inquisitively, and I used my one working limb to point at the man who played Spicoli; the first Mr. Madonna; and the man who would go on to portray Harvey Milk. Mr. Bunny follows my arm and my gaze and looks over. I find my voice to whisper "It's Sean Penn!" and Mr. Bunny looks at him again and says "You think?" He then looks back at us and smirks. And it was the trademark Sean Penn smirk.

So I've always loved Sean Penn but have loved him a little bit more since last April. And even though Mr. Bunny is still not convinced that the man we saw was Sean Penn, I know it was him because of that smirk. And I'm so glad that Sean has gotten back with Robin Wright Penn since then, because I was worried that we saw him as he tried to drown his sorrows. I thought Sean was incredible as Harvey Milk and loved the whole cast of the movie; I think it is such an important subject and such an interesting film. I'm glad he won--although I would have been happy for Mickey Rourke to win (maybe a little bit more happy because he makes me giggle and I loved The Wrestler). But when Sean got up on stage and said "You Commie Homo-Loving SOBs" I giggled and was glad that my Dad had gone to bed. His speech was poignant and made me happy that he won.

9) And finally, I would like to say how happy I am that Slumdog won Best Picture. I would also like to say that I really want to adopt an Indian child. They are so beautiful and sweet. I bet you Brangelina's next baby will be from India.

What did you think? What did you like, what did you hate?

Who do you think should win best and worst dressed?

I'll be sharing my thoughts on the fashion tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Oscar, Robscah!

I'd like to thank the Academy for these great videos and this great photo-op.

*Robert Pattinson on the Oscars compared to Twilight premieres: "It's more organized. At Twilight premieres, you think you're going to die."-Entertainment Weekly

I wish I could expresss my gratitude in greater detail, but after that, I'm not sure I can form a coherent sentence.
The rest of the show was nice too, but I'm not ready to talk about all that just yet.

For today, I just want to focus on this.

I'm a happy girl.

Love,

Elle Bunny

My Heroes: The Twicurls

Someday I hope to meet them. They are right up there with Rob, Betty White, Dolly Parton, Elizabeth Taylor, Justin Timerlake and George Michael.
I like to think we'd have an enjoyable conversation over Starbucks

or possibly blood slushies (if Aro ever gets around to fixing Pici's machine)

Have a great day!
Love,
Elle Bunny

Kittens inspired by...Kittens!

I think this is our long lost sister, Meredith! She reminds me of us when we were little.

Now I want a little girl and a kitten. Sigh.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Holy Hell, Bert's going to present an award at the Oscars!

You heard me right, Pink readers. Rob Pattinson, the official mascot of PIMSC is going to be presenting at the Academy Awards. Maybe we should build him a cake?My feelings are so conflicted about this new development that I find myself simultaneously wiggling my toes and getting nauseous. I'm sure Rob's doing the same thing, all while nervously grasping at what's left of his hair.

On the one hand, I will be so happy to see Rob on American soil. Not that I begrudge him his time at home, but we missed him over here.

On the other hand I feel second-hand anxiety for Rob. Does any remember the epic fail that was the VMAs?

Poor Rob. But I love this interview after the fact:

He's just so darn likeable. Anyway, I worry about Rob amongst this room full of Hollywood legends. It is likely to be a little more intimidating than Russell Brand and the Jo Bros and even though he's a big fancy movie star now, I still think it's quite possible that Rob could trip down the stairs when he realizes that Jack Nicholson is in the audience.

I'm hoping against hope that the Bert we see on Sunday is Smiley Bert (by far my favorite Bert) and dressed well. He stops for lots of charming interviews on the red carpet and then heads inside where he is witty and deliciously awkward as he gives out the Academy Award for Best Actress to Kate Winslet, and then they have a charming British moment as he hands over her Oscar.

But I will support him whether or not he trips down the stairs, goofs up his lines, or shows up drunk. Because that's what makes him Bert, and God knows that my adoration for Silly Bert trumps any love I have for the perfection of Edward Cullen. So I will be tuning in, and DVRing the several different red carpet programs in the hopes that I will see Rob towering over Seacrest and giggling about something.

The only thing that could make the whole thing better is if KStew joins him (crossing fingers).But I will settle for an appearance by TomStud (if he wears the Green Plaid Shirt)Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

My Favorite Things Monday: YouTube Video

This video is just epic. Anytime you get vampires and a dance number in the same video, I will be a happy girl. This video is pretty amazing for many reasons:

1) The cafeteria seriously looks exactly like the cafeteria in the movie. I honestly wonder if they went to the same school to film it.

2) The acting was on par with that seen it the movie.

3) So many of the actors looked so much like the actors in the real movie (especially Jasper-look-alike, Rosalie-look-alike and Bella-look-alike).

4) These kids can really dance.

5) This video seems to have had a bigger budget than Twilight. Just saying.

It's awesome. I had to share. Even if you aren't a huge Twilighter, I think you will enjoy this video so check it out!

Love,

Elle Bunny

The heart is what makes someone Fearless

The human heart is an incredible organ. It has four chambers which pump blood through our blood vessels through rhythmic contractions. The average human heart, beating at 72 beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times during a lifetime (about 66 years). For many centuries it was believed that the heart was the actual location of the mind. When our anscestors died, those who cared for the dead would toss the brain aside but do much to protect the heart. The heart symbolizes the soul, and while it is a physical organ essential to living, it also symbolizes our emotions and feelings. Our capacity to forgive and be kind. And most of all, the heart's capacity to love is an awe-inspiring thing. So on this Friday I wanted to give thanks for the human heart, for keeping our blood pumping and for all the wonderful people in the world who know how to use their hearts to touch others'.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

-Helen Keller

Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts.

-Charles Dickens
A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love.

-Mother Theresa Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,
Elle Bunny

P.S. My posts will be sporadic over the next couple of weeks. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I need some time to collect ideas on what to write about!

A Baa Nerd Hertz Glints

I thoroughly enjoy Anagrams. Ever sense I read about Colin Singleton and his compulsion to anagram I find myself following suit without even realizing it. Right now I'm looking around my desk; here are some of the anagrams I've come up with based on the the people, pictures, words and items surrounding me

Diagnosis=Adios Sing; Soda Sing I

Relay=Early; Layer

Flowers=Elf Rows;Slew Fro

Florida=Air Fold;Rad Foil

Sister=Resist; Set Sir

Gardenia=And Rage I;A Grained

Stress Ball=Brats Sells; Stars Bells

Phone=Pen Ho; En Hop

Laura=Aural

Christina=Can't Hi Sir

I'm officially a dork. But I do truly enjoy doing this. Check out this website to Anagram your name. Here is what they came up with for my first and last name (they couldn't handle all that and the middle name; I think their computers would crash).
A Brazen Starlight End
A Sandbar Nether Glitz
A Heartland Bring Zest
A Stargazer Blend Thin
A Stanza Brethren Gild
A Bastard Then Zen Girl
A Baa Nerd Hertz Glints
A Zebra Strangled Thin
A Banner Tzar Slighted
A Brazen Hand Glitters

I hope the story of my life has a brazen starlight end. It just sounds awesome.

What does your name anagram to?

Have a great day!

Smokey the Koala Bear

Here is what the Herald Sun had to say about Sam the Koala.

SAM became the most famous koala in the world when firefighter David Tree stopped to give her a drink amid the devastation.

Carer Jenny Shaw said she suffered burns on her paws and was in a lot of pain, but was on the road to recovery. She was put on an IV drip and is on antibiotics and pain relief treatment. "She is lovely - very docile - and she has already got an admirer. A male koala keeps putting his arms around her," Ms Shaw said. "She will need regular attention and it will be a long road to recovery, but she should be able to be released back into the wild in about five months."
I don't think it gets any cuter than a firefighter rescuing a koala.

I cry every time I watch that video. I'm a sucker for koalas.

I'm bummed for the people in Australia. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers their way!

Have a great day everyone, and if you aren't just think of Sam and David. If that doesn't make you feel better, I don't know what will.

Love,

Elle Bunny aka Kimmy Koala

P.S. Unfortunately I made a mistake and deleted my first Wordless Wednesday post and Spaghetti Cat-Friday's Fun Fearless Feline post. Hopefully I will redo these soon for my own sanity. Sorry if you wanted to look at them!

10 Reasons I'm Excited to Be Buying a House

1) If I really wanted to, I could put 10 pink flamingos in my front yard. Who's going to stop me?

2) No stairs. I think this is the part I'm most excited about, since at the present time I live in a third floor apartment. My thighs are growing at the thought of living in a one story house.
3) We have a backyard. With trees. This is exciting for both of us, because we look forward to entertaining friends and gardening. This is exciting for Mr. Bunny because he can play bocce ball and washers and horseshoes, and barbeque. For me, a backyard equals ample room to hula hoop and cartwheel.
4) Two bathrooms. This means when the two of us get home after being in the car for an hour with large drinks, we won't have to pretend to be polite and the let the other person go first. Now we can just fight for who gets to go to the closer bathroom. 5) I think sometimes I might just go sit in one of the spare bedrooms and stare at the wall for 30 minutes.

6) Mr Bunny will have a man room where he will store all his video games-the Wii, the XBox, you name it, it's in there.

This is awesome because it means we will have a real grown up living room. In this room we can watch movies and Lost together. But when Mr. Bunny wants to play Zelda, he can go to his man room and leave me to my Beverly Hills, 90210 and Real Housewives debauchery.

7) I can has new kittehs?

8) I'd venture a guess that if I stand in the front bedroom and hollered, Mr. Bunny wouldn't be able to hear me in the kitchen. I'm only guessing, but that is pretty awesome.

9) Rain, Sleet, Snow, Ice, Mud and Muck will not matter because I will have a freaking garage. This is perhaps the most life changing development because I'm consistently late everywhere and hate getting into a car affected by the elements-it only makes me later than I already was. I'm also really excited to not have all of my neighbors see me walk out in my pajamas everytime I leave something in my car.

10) I will be able to fully enjoy listening to music and dancing around. I will have more area to do so and won't have to feel like I'm disturbing the peace-no longer will I be on the third floor flanked by neighbors to the sides and below. It is an amazing sense of freedom.

Thanks for reading my list of reasons I'm excited about buying a house-I need to focus on this because right now I'm getting overwhelmed by the paperwork and the redtape of it all.

But it's all worth it because I'm getting a House!
Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny
