Grammys 2012 Worst Dressed





I don't know about anyone else, but my favorite part of watching the Grammys the red carpet, and seeing all the dressed or costumes that the celebs are wearing. There are always the gorgeous actresses and singers that wear long, elegant gowns that every one goes crazy over. And then there are always the ones who wear out of the ordinary dresses that seem more like Halloween wear than red carpet. This year the red carpet saw beautiful dresses but the ugly, revealing, and Halloween like dresses took over. Fergie wore a beautiful orange gown, the only problem, it was see through and she wore black undergarments, literally making herself look like Halloween. Anne V wore an extremely revealing dress that would even be considered a bathing suit cover up. Nicki Minaj wore a red, robe like dress. Recently people have come to believe that minaj is trying way to hard to stand out, this dress was defiantly proof. Snooki rocked a typical Snooki outfit, a tight black and zebra stripped dress, with her new red hair. Kelly Osbournes silver dress looks like a popped balloon, and her lavender colored hair doesn't improve her awkward appearance either. Alison Krauss looked like a grandma in her "little house on the prairie" wear. Sasha Gradiva wore a beautiful pink gown but ruined her appearance with a ginormous transformer like arm, there was no need for her to be armed on the red carpet. D'Manti wore a short zebra print dress with red feathers, obviously when people see this they think a bleeding animal, was that her intention? Esperanza Spaulding wore a beautifully colored dress but it looked like her mom made it out of curtains. Jessie J rocked a high school prom dress down the red carpet, embarrassing. For weeks this ugly dresses will be talked about and referenced on the news, magazines, and celebrity talk shows and blogs. Celebrities know what they are getting them selves into when the are about to walk down the red carpet, they know all eyes are on them. So why would they wear something they know all the critics and fans will be tearing apart for weeks? They may have talent but they are clearly not the smartest.

Super Bowl 46 Commercials

Years ago a commercial was a break in between playings during the Super Bowl, you could go to the bathroom quickly or refill your chip bowl without missing some of the big game. In recent years companies have taken advantage of the fact that millions of people would be watching this one game all at the same time, it was a great opportunity to advertise their products. Since all of these companies realized this, the competition to have the best commercial became a huge deal. Since then Super bowl commericals are known to be some of the best commercials of the year.  Now commercials are looked forward to just as much as the actual game, and you can see more people leaving in between downs to go to the bathroom or restock their food so that they don't miss the commercials. When you think of Super Bowl commercials you think of dancing and singing animals, and all those kinds of commical things. This year one commercial stood out among the rest, but the thing is it didn't contain a talking animal, or any laughing matter at all. This commercial was for McDonald's Hope Fund, it showed a small boys recovery after fighting Leukemia. I was surprised to see this commercial amongst the norm of funny commercials. It defiantly grabbed the views attention though and was one of the most remembered and favorite commercials for me at least. to see some of the best commercials from super bowl 46 click the link below.

Five New Uses for Baby Powder


When you think of baby powder you think of a little baby after bath time. Recently people have been using this powder for many other functions. Personally i like to use baby powder after a day at the beach, it easily removes all the extra sand off your skin. This is my favorite function but Chris Barnes is convinced that this simple product can be used in many other situations, mostly smelly situations. For all the people out there with a stinky shoe problem, baby powder might just be what you need. after sprinkling some into your shoe at night and leaving it until the next morning, your shoes should smell good as new. for those who have an ant problem in their kitchen, leave piles of baby powder in areas where you often see them. The smell and texture of the powder is too much for the ants sensory system, causing them to avoid those areas. During the winter when the heat is blasting or in the summer when the humidity is unbearable, sleeping comfortably is always an issue, you always get so sweaty. By sprinkling some baby powder on your sheets and spreading it out it will absorb the sweat and you will have a dry, comfortable night. A smelly cat or dog is bad but even worst is trying to bathe a smelly cat or dog. Instead of washing your animals wipe them down with a baby powder covered cloth. The powder will absorb the smell and is very safe for the animals skin. getting on rubber gloves can some times be a problem, if you sprinkle some powder in them they will be much easier to put on and they wont stick together. I love learning new functions for simple products you can find around your house its always very interesting and usually very useful in your every day activities.

Second Memoir

For my second memoir I picked Black Boy by Richard Wright. The reason why I chose this book is because Ms. Fay recommended it to me. Last night I read the first couple of pages and really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading the rest of Richards story.
