i accept requests from everyone; i might never speak to them again OR i they might end up being my bestie. you never know. and really, not having friends from either gender or lifestyle or whatever? since i'm not looking for fuck buddies here, it makes no difference.

For the record, not that i am a huge Kirsten Stewart fan, but in her defense, she showed up on crutches after stepping in glass and cutting the sole of her foot up fairly badly two day prior to the event. one can assume she was either in a great deal of pain, on pain killers, or a combination of both. if you look carefully at her left arm you'll notice a bruise that indicates she likely was the recipient of a tetnus shot recently.

Also - I had to mention - while I hate this shade of yellow, how the hell is Jane Fonda looking this good at 75 yrs old???
sorry, i loved that color - of course, i tend to go for bright things normally. it's just FUN! and yeah, she looked great - i hope i look that good at 40! lol.

i am in love (not literally) with Jennifer Lawrence. anything she does is awesome. she's just very real - after the awards one of the reporters asked her why she'd tripped and her replay was: did you not see the dress i was wearing?
btw, to add to hits, when she did the face plant, both Hugh Jackman and Bradly Cooper jumped from their seats and helped her up. damn. chivalry is not dead. those are two classy guys.
another miss: Melissa McCarthy and Paul Rudd as presenter - their intro went on way too long and it wasn't funny. it totally annoyed me.
another hit: The Avengers presenting (although Scar Jo was notably absent - the one woman in the cast and she wasn't on stage? what's up with that. that said, RDJ and Sam Jackson are made of awesome).

Biggest hits in my book. Jennifer Lawrence for Best Actress in a leading role. Great character, great movie and fantastic to see her rewarded for that role. Also Anne Hathaway for Supporting Actress for her role in Les Mis.
I loved the speech by Ang Lee director of Life of Pi. That was an awesome moment as well.
As for flops. Christoph Waltz.... REALLY? That should have been Tommy Lee Jones all the way. The speech by Quentin Tarantino was just the most self aggrandizing I have heard in a while.
But the thing that pained me the most was the beginning. The whole bit with William Shatner and Seth MacFarlane call me crazy and old fashioned if you must but to say that a show sucked before it even really got started... that seemed to me to put a damper on the whole evening.
i love Christoph Waltz, but i agree with you - Tommy Lee Jones was brilliant. That said, I love Quinny and thought his speech was very him and not at all self aggrandizing, but that's just me.

Hits:
Daniel Day Lewis's acceptance speech was a hit. i expected him to get up and be all serious and do the typical read from a list and thank everyone he worked with. instead, he gave a warm, funny, sincere, and heartfelt speech. it made me totally forgive him for beating Bradly Cooper (and really, he was amazing as Lincoln. he deserved it!.
Another hit, Ben Afflecks speech - just beautiful and full of emotion. and i'm so happy they found a way to award him for directing an amazing film, even if it wasn't for directing.
the cast of Les Mis performance was beautiful
misses:
Seth MacFarlane as host fell kind of flat, to be honest. i did like his sock puppet version of Flight, though.
there was a LOT of musical numbers! after a while it was like, is this the oscars or the grammies?

Also in no particular order. These women all looked great. There are many others that looked really good but these come to mind now.
Jessica Chastain
Sandra Bullock
Jennifer Garner
Naomi Watts
Amanda Seyfried
Stacy Kielbler
I really didnt like how Zoe Saldana looked, was too much going on there.
I agree with Sprite about Anne Hathaway and Quvenzhane Wallis. Loved the puppy purse.
And while I really like Jennifer Lawrence, she liked like she was wearing a Wedding Gown. Maybe thats why she fell on her face, LOL!!
oo - Sandra looked gorgeous! and honestly, i'm a bit biased about Zoe - i think she's the most beautiful woman on the planet - she could have work a garbage bag and i'd choose her - that said, i thought her dress was gorgeous. oh, and i love J Law, but yeah, there was a bit too much dress there, honestly. from the waist up she looked stunning, but...

Ok, let's talk about what's really important at the Academy awards; the fashion. Give us your picks for top 5 fashions at the Oscars. Here's mine, in no particular order.
Jessica Chastain
Zoe Saldana (she could wear rags and still look beautiful
Kerry Washington
Noami Watts
Halle Berry
Quvenzhane Wallis gets an honorable mention for Sammi, her puppy purse, and for just being totally cute.
dishonorable mention goes to Anne Hathaway for having very badly placed seams - it was very distracting, to be honest, even though i knew they weren't actually her nipples!

it's gone back and forth during my life. i would have to say that, until the past few years, i've prefered men over women, not by a large percent, but enough that my only serious relationships were with men. that has switched drastically in the past 5 years, mostly because i fell head over heels in love with another girl. also, due to personal issue over the past year, my desire for men has dropped considerably to the point i consider myself a lesbian with bi tendencies.

Well, it was a Groupon special, the price was supposedly $200+ prior to the discount, which made it less than $40 per head.
Weevils don't eat pumpkins, so I knew it must have been a drop-in of some sort. If it were in the cup to begin with, it wouldn't have been floating on the top.
I know these things happen, I've bought oats / rice / flour / cereal before, which have been kept sealed, and seen those horrible skinny little things.
We carried on the meal after I'd complained. I was totally put off the rest, and although it was really good food, I couldn't enjoy it as hoped.
The owner said to me, "these things happen" and wasn't very apologetic.
NO TIP FOR YOU!
He's going to end up on eatability.com.,au, for all the wrong reasons...
"these things happen" was an unacceptable response. i say you totally badmouth them online or anywhere else you can think of, for it. also, i'd suggest writing an email, if it was a chain, the the company.

i'd say something. i mean, for one, if there's a weevil in my soup, they should probably be aware that there might be weevils in other people's soup. that's the first step. the second step is, regardless of anything, it's going to put me off the dinner. i'm going to be hyper aware of everything i eat and i'm not going to enjoy it. this is the point where i very politely (remember, your waitress is NOT responsible for weevils in the soup!) request to see the manager, explain things to him in an adult manner, no need to get into hysterics over it, that won't solve anything, explain that my special occasion has been ruined, and see what they are willing to do to salvage it. obviously,i will not be paying for the night's meal.
what i will expect is to be treated to a free make up meal in the future. oh, i'll expect to pay for wine or alcoholic beverages, and leave a tip, but the food will be on the house. barring this, i will never set foot inside the restaurant again. period. i won't make a scene, but yes, they'll know where they stand. it's a regrettable occurance, and i've been on the other side of it - what you need to do, is everything in your power to make sure that customer walks away feeling that you are truly sorry and that you care enough about their business to do whatever you can to keep them as customers and make it right. don't forget, word of mouth can be powerful - you never know who they might know or what kind of influence they might have.
ps - if it was my restaurant, i'd go one beyond that - i'd do a special meal, pay for all the drinks, go overboard to give them something more memorable than that damn weevil, and put my very best waitress on their table with no other tables to work so that get perfect service, and close off one section of the restaurant that night so they'd have it to themselves? would i lose money that night? yep. a reputation in the restaurant business is worth more than money. it will make or break you. you do all that, they will talk about you favorably to their friends, on face book, at work, whatever. as i said, word of mouth is very powerful.
