The 84th Annual Academy Awards!!!!


Hello all my Gorgeous Starlets and Handsome Hunks!  Last night was the 84th annual Academy Awards which, for me, is like a holiday every year hehe.  This a picture of the 28th Academy Awards at the Pantages theatre.  Those of you who have been to the Pantages know how tiny it is!  Its beautiful but not exactly roomy lol  This year, the Oscars were held at the Kodak theatre in Hollywood.  The Kodak holds 3,300 people and it was a beautiful venue for a beautiful occasion.  The long crimson curtains were stunning, framed by ornate golden trim, and the sparkling gowns and jewels were blinding! 



Of course, our house was allllmost as beautiful as the Kodak theatre last night since we throw an Oscars party every year!  We print out our ballots and cast our votes before the show begins, eat yummy appetizers, and "cheers" with our champagne flutes!  At the end of the show, whoever gets the most right wins an Oscar... and guess who won!..... M E ! In twenty years, after twenty Oscar parties, I have never won until now! Yippee!! 

Here are my top 5 pics for Best Dressed! 

Rose Byrne in a glittering midnight blue Vivian Westwood gown! This was my absolute 
favorite of the night!  She looked elegant and chic and I loved the back! 



Stacy Keibler shined in Marchesa and looked like she could be Oscar's girlfriend, so golden and statuesque!  Its about time she stepped out of George's shadow!  Don't get me wrong, I loooove me some George Clooney and it takes a very sexy man to outshine a  7-foot leggy blonde, but lets be honest, she'd probably have a more promising future with the golden statue himself than with George Clooney. haha


Okay I know Giuliana Rancic isn't one of the glamourous movie starlets but I thought she looked absolutely beautiful!  Her Tony Ward Couture gown was stunning even though her hair was "flat" as my mother says haha yes, they could've given her hair a tad more volume but her gown was so beautiful I don't think anyone would have noticed her hair anyway! 


Next, although I think Milla Jovich is kind of creepy looking, I loved her look last night.  The minute she walked onto the red carpet, the crowd's jaws dropped and their eyes followed her every move.


Lastly, Leslie Mann, one of my favorite Hollywood girls, looked gorgeous!  Her dress was form-fitting in all the right places, age-appropriate, and a beautiful navy blue color.  


The ladies were stunning and the men were all so handsome in their tuxes!  However, Billy Crystal and the presenters, as well as Cirque de Soleil's performance made the show truly extraordinary.  Now, the most important part.. I have decided to throw an extra special Oscars cocktail party next year for the 85th Annual Academy Awards!!  Mark your calendars for next year's show and pick out your best little black dress or penguin suit!  We're going to get dressed up like we are headed to the red carpet ourselves!! Can't Wait!!  Hope to see you all there!

ITS BIKINI SEASON!!!


Its the start of a new, healthy chapter! hehe Today was the first day of my new workout regiment!! Alexa and her daddy took me to their trainer this morning.  He's going to whip my butt into shape, I can tell already!  We woke up, hit Starbucks, did our workout and were home two hours before I would normally wake up! Spring Break is right around the corner, I have a new bikini and I need to look good in it!  I'm in my prime so I need to look that way! hehe Wish me luck!

To My Loved Ones


This is my official Thank You note to my loved ones for making my birthday such a special time this year!!   It was such a beautiful weekend and I loved every minute.  I was awoken on my birthday at 7:30 am by my best friend Alexa's rockstar alter-ego haha  She busted through the bedroom door with flowers and balloons dancing around like Jagger and singing "Birthday" by the Beatles. haha It was epic. Then my mom came in in her jammies with a slice of birthday cheese cake for me!  What a wake up call! 
So then, Alexa treated me to a birthday coffee and she went to work while I went to Astronomy.. yuck!  However, I got a very embarrassing but very sweet birthday surprise while I was there! Right as my professor began his daily lecture, my dreamy friend Stephen ran through the door with a very embarrassing display of flowers and balloons. Awwww. haha Every girl in the class instantly turned to jello! So sweet.  
So after I finished my classes, Alexa picked me up and we had a nice girls day, followed by a special birthday dinner surprise!  Lex arranged for some of my best girlfriends to surprise me at dinner.  It was so nice celebrating with them.  We had a lovely dinner and birthday sundae followed by a trip to Dave & Busters for some pool. hehe 

Now, Birthday festivity number two was amazing as well... Family Day in San Diego!  Spending the day with my brother and his family, my sister and her family, my best friend, and my mama was so special.  I love when we're all together. We went to an incredible 50's themed diner where we ate, danced, laughed and played AND visited Belmont Park by the beach and had so much fun there as well.  My family made my day so special.  

Thank you friends and family for the beautiful cards, texts, calls,  facebook messages, flowers, gifts, and hugs!  I couldn't dream up more special people to have in my life.
