Glee

8 episodes into this show and I'm officially hooked. It's really an amazing show with great potential (some of the storylines are slightly frustrating and some characters are completely one dimensional). But the musical numbers are fantastic and so much fun. There really aren't enough fun shows on the air. However there is something else that really adds a pop to the show and that's the fashion. It's what gives the show it's whimsy and it really is done perfectly.
Episode 8 Fashion:
First there's Emma, the school guidance counselor. She's adorable and with her clothes she looks almost like what a cartoon guidance counselor would look like. She had some great fashion moments this episode.

First is her guidance counselor look. It's so adorable. The color blue is beautiful and the flower pin makes the whole look come together.


This is wedding dress number one, borrowed from her cousin who had her wedding when they were obsessed with Princess Di's dress. It's very unfortunate, but the picture of her walking down the hall with the long train is gorgeous. The dress also plays a part in the plot, causing Will to trip and Emma to fall on top of him. Fashion as plot, it's so great.

This dress is perfection on her. She looks beautiful and the dress completely fits with her character.
Secondly we have Rachel.

This outfit is perfect for the overachieving perfectionist who still wants to look good so boys (Finn) will notice her. It's a great combination of serious school girl with whimsy in the sleeves and the pink of the skirt.
Best of all is Sue in her Zoot Suit. You really can't blame her for not knowing only the guys wore them.

This picture is the epitome of Sue, eccentric, kind of out of touch with reality (come on, any Sue Sees It clips will assure you of that). Also, this scene wouldn't have been so touching without the Zoot suit. It just made the whole scene more uncomfortable.
Overall I love the fashions on this show. It's almost like Pushing Daises where the clothing was almost as important to the show as the plot.

My Favorite People Part 1

So I was looking at pictures and saw one of Padma and though to myself, she is super awesome, definitely one of my favorite people. This got me thinking about the rest of my favorite people, so I thought I would share the list with you.

First of all Padma. I mean how can you not love her. She's beautiful, especially now that shes pregnant. She's also an awesome host on Top Chef (believe me, just watch the first season and you'll agree). She also dated someone with a fatwa on his head, how cool is that!? Also, she has scars and doesn't try to hide them, and as someone with a huge scar that's very cool to me.

Second, Nene from the Real Housewives of Atlanta! Seriously I want to be her best friend. She seems like so much fun, and always just says what she's thinking, which I love. She also never takes crap from people. I just want to hang out and like gossip with her while drinking wine or something.

Third is Agatha de la ruiz Prada. Because anyone who can make this for a major fashion show has to be awesome. Also, just look at her website. Only a super happy fun person could make that website. It's just too bad that the whole language barrier would be a problem.

Last for now is Sue from Glee. Yes I know she's a fictional character but she's so great on the show, she always has the best lines. Some examples:
I empower my Cheerios to be champions. Do they go to college? I don't know. I don't care. Should they learn Spanish? Sure, if they wanna become dishwashers and gardeners.
I don't trust a man with curly hair. I can't help but picture little birds laying sulfurous eggs in there, and it disgusts me.
Not everyone is gonna have the walnuts to take a pro-littering stance. But I will not rest until every inch of our fair state is covered in garbage.

The rest of my list will come later...
