Recap: The Bachelorette - Episode 1

Here we go again, it is Bachelorette season and in what I guess was a nod to the upcoming Olympics, Emily Maynard showed up in an ice dancing costume --- she is so sweet that Chris Harrison probably didn’t have the heart to tell her it’s the wrong athletic season.

Anyway, usual story: Emily is looking to find the love of her fabricated life among an insane crop of men who presume they are the one; of course we will be riveted until someone puts that ABC funded ring on Emily’s finger and to make that viewing more bearable we have categorized some notable men using descriptive monikers:

Losers to Avoid:

Michael: Taylor Kitsch wanna be

Travis: Guy brandishing egg

Joe: Dawson Leery

Stevie: Party MC

Alessandro: Botox Brazilian 

Stay tuned for more Pretty Pretty Bang Bang unrequited Bachelorette criticisms!

Anatomy of a Hottie: Gosling the Jetsetter Edition

Stop us if this is creepy, but sometimes don’t you feel like you actually know Ryan Gosling because you talk about him so much? This week we were elated to see our buddy Ryan arriving at JFK and even more so because he was looking pretty darn perfect.  Sure, we liked this look a lot less yesterday when he accessorized it with Eva Mendes, but we are willing to blow past; you’re supposed to be happy for your friends when they get into relationships, aren’t you?

If this airport look doesn’t suffice, feel free to educate yourself here on the exquisite travel looks of Mr. Ryan Gosling.

Happy Friday,

Us

Thursday Chuckle: Dear Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm wants us to slow our roll when it comes to getting “serious” with a boy, to define our own style and confirms that boys totally get crushes on us too! What a comical relief.

We are taking this advice very seriously, hope that's not offensive to anybody.

Morning After: Met Gala 2012

We don't think it is a coincidence that the Met Gala overlaps with good old high school Prom season. It is A-List Prom and fashion is everyone's date of choice.

For your enjoyment and unadulterated judgement we have summed up the night's dominant looks.

Couleur du Jour: ORANGE This colour has simply taken over the red carpet! And we adore it! Ginnifer Goodwin is looking particularly smashing in her tangerine gown. Whereas Kirsten Dunst looks like Olive Oyl. As in Popeye and Olive Oyl. Also, Kirsten, you are not 90 and as much as we wish it, this isn't Downton Abbey.

Too Sparkly for Words: Bonjour sparkles and beautiful metallics! These glitterati are covered head to toe in the flashiest of fabrics. This category is extensive and can only be explained as scintillating and in some cases very Game of Thrones chic.

Feather Bottoms: Here name was Lola...in all seriousness, we approve of these looks (Aside from Beyonce. As much as it pains us to admit, Baby Blue can't save you here, this is a total miss dearest Bey). Diane Kruger's frock looks wonderfully like a volumous nightgown that could only be worn in St. Tropez.

Diaphanous Lace: These ladystars (and Marc Jacobs) are riding that lace wave championed by her royal highness the Duchess of Cambridge. It's a look we both agree is appropriate for the season and sophisticated enough for the event. Marc Jacobs, you fickle prankster!

Sister Wives: The red carpet is no place to flaunt your insecurities or to subtly reveal your stance on polygamy. Although we kinda like Sister Mia Wasikowska's maroon dress. But are those pit stains or just a shadow?

Anatomy of a Hottie: Hemsworth Edition

How much time did you waste looking at these photos of Chris Hemsworth this week? Personally, I wasted about two hours; three if you include sending out the link to everyone I know, so don’t lie. He is some serious handsome, how could you not be obsessed?

But in case you’re insane and need some convincing please review:



Do yourself a favour and see more.

Happy Friday,
