2011 People’s Choice Awards

Ashley Tisdale in Farah Angsana

I haven’t rated looks in forever, but I might just start up again. I give this look a 4.7 because I am loving her resort-esque dress even during the winter time. The blend of chartreuse and pink in the dress help bring out her warm skin tone and are really quite complimentary to the entire look itself. She also gets points for doing the boho look without looking homeless hippy.

Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” is the worst song of 2010…

According to Maura Johnston, that catchy Train song “Hey, Soul Sister” is the number one worst song of 2010. In her post, she gave us 12 reasons why this song sucks so hard. Though they are believable reasons, I can’t fully agree with her that the song is the worst, but there are some parts of the song that have caused me to question its attractiveness.

My favorite reason of hers:

The ukulele. The fuck?

After reading her post, I was reminded of another song that left me feeling the same way. In a car ride with my best friend yesterday, we ended up dissecting Katy Perry’s “Firework.Lyrics in question?

“Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?”

“Boom boom boom, even brighter than the moon moon moon.”

Enough said.

Because who you were in high school doesn’t matter anymore

Katy Perry [after spotting an old crush in the crowd when she played a show at her old high school.]:

“Is that Shane Lopes? You were the most popular kid in my class! But you never wanted to date me, it was always Amanda Wayne. Oh yeah, you really chose right, honey. What’s up. What’s up now, player? I’m going to dedicate this next one to Shane Lopes everyone.”

oh Katy Perry…this is why I sometimes like you!

2010 MTV Video Music Awards

  • Lady Gaga won eight awards. She basically swept the whole show and wore a gown made of meat. Nice.
  • The carpet was white – naturally everyone decided to be boring and actually wear black and white or something dark.
  • Florence + the Machine put on an AMAZING performance of “Dog Days Are Over.”
  • Kanye West tried to have Taylor Swift sing a song he wrote for her prior to the show. She declined and instead performed a song for Kanye “forgiving” him called “Innocent.”

I didn’t watch the show, but this is what I had gathered.

This dress was designed by Franc Fernandez.

Pinch Me – For A Second I liked Katy Perry

A little over a month ago, I was driving in the car flipping through radio stations when I came across a pretty catchy lyric, “I might get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans be your teenage dream tonight. Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans be your teenage dream tonight.” I thought, this is pretty catchy… I can get into this!

Imagine my reaction when I found out the song was sung by none other than Katy Perry. If you’ve been following the blog for awhile, you know how I feel about Katy Perry and what I thought of her performance at Bumbershoot last summer. [post here]

I couldn’t just stop liking this song though because I genuinely enjoyed it. I tried to justify it by telling myself that I was a fan of the song before even knowing that Katy Perry had sung it. When I brought this up to my best friend last night she said,

“Can’t you tell that California Girls and Teenage Dream are the same song? They have the same beat.”

…Ohhh

I hate that song California Girls.
