Special to the Shame Squad: Grammy Dresses

J-Lo wore what may be a sexy liturgical dance dress?

It was bleached sequins for Kat Dennings. Maybe you could fix that with some RIT dye, girl.

Esparanza Spalding came straight from her Lion King Musical audition. Hopefully she got the part of Nala!

So brave of Kat von D to wear a dress that was run over by a tractor just moments before she had to put it on.

Bonnie McKee couldn't decide whether to dress as a bride, a sexy knight, or Wendy from the hamburger chain, so she combined all three. So brave!

D'manti made her dress from leftover fishing nets and seaweed. She calls it 'Shipwreck Chic."

Sorry Pauley Perette, Helena Bonham Carter is already the Goth Prom Queen, but you can be the Goth Homecoming Queen.

SWV wears accessories they made during craft time! A+ in mosaics, bedazzling, and braiding, ladies! (At least I think this is SWV--it may be men in drag. Not sure.)

Kimbra wore a dress fashioned from tulle and gold candy wrappers. She had to eat a TON of Hershey's nuggets.

Estelle wore a galactic star map on her dress. I bet she can make the Kessel run in 12 parsecs.

Florence Welch dressed as a dinosaur. Rawr!

Adele wore...whatever this was. Which is fine. You know why? Because she's Adele and she can do whatever she wants.

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef. I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy. And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below. You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry! You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

New Year, Old Me

And, after a brief 5 year hiatus, we're back! For those of you who are new here, for a number of years I wrote a blog featuring an assortment of things I found interesting: the British Royal Family, sarcastic hot takes on award show fashion, travel, and (the reason I started it) to help me keep stay on track with eating healthier food. Recently, one of my doctors suggested that I start the blog back up and I thought it was a good idea for a few reasons: chief among them to help with some health goals, plus I'd like to use it as a way to stay connected with some colleagues that departed at work. By way of an understatement, 2023 was a smidge rough. My dad got really sick in April, and after that, it was a slalom of the American healthcare system / in-home healthcare / nursing facilities / ambiguous loss & living grief . Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the company I work for turned 24 and, well, sometimes 24 year old companies behave like 24 year old humans. They...

Kate Middleton, Goofball

My new favorite K-Middy gif came out today. She and William went for a walk during their day off in Australia, and she totally did this: Big Willy and Babykins (their nicknames for each other) have talked about Kate's sense of humor before in interviews. Apparently she's funny and sarcastic--now we're more than just hair soul mates! Below are some of my favorite non-posed Kate pics. They're probably watching horses. So British of them. This is at the Olympics. She seems concerned. I'd also like to point out that I'm jealous of how good her ponytail looks. It sounds like she's saying "OMG no way!" Man, I hope that's what she's talking about with the fancy church people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service. Again, I suspect ponies are involved here. If you watch interviews with her (and I do) she makes this face all the time. I LOVE IT. Celebrities: they're just like us! They hide behind their...
