Special to the Shame Squad: Grammy Dresses

The Grammys give us some of the year's best fashion disasters! And away we go!

Not sure if Cyndi Lauper thought she was going to the Grammys or a Halloween party.

Zendaya goes for the "80's shirt and polka dot shower curtain" look.

Katy Perry made her dress out of tulle and the sheet music to Blurred Lines. Just kidding--there's clearly no sheet music for Blurred Lines.

Jessica Miller shoes that if you like trends (military jackets, sequins, ostrich feathers), you should not wear them all at once. Also, shut up Lars Ulrich.

So many swans died to make Sara Bareilles' dress. Will no one think of the swans?!?!!?

Rita Ora stole a costume that one of the aliens wore during the filming of the original Star Trek series.

Natasha Bedingfield tries to make 'hazmat orange' sexy.

Pharrell is hiding Daft Punk under his hat.

Ariana Grande's dress is ugly. But more importantly, I think she's wearing the same Prada pumps that K-Middy has, so let's beat her up and steal them.

Stop it Kelly Osbourne. J-Law did the backwards necklace thing first and better.

Just wanted to say that Willie Nelson has better braids than I ever will.

Hi Kaya Jones. I see that your local bondage store had a clearance sale.

Hopefully you saved the receipt.

Termites chewed through the top of Colbie Caillat's dress.

I think Chrisette Michele's markers dried up before she was done coloring her outfit.

Kathy Griffin, you know this is hideous. You have so many gays around you! How did they let you out of the house in this?!

Janice and Billy Crystal look like my parents going out to lunch after church.

Fantasia forgot to take off the lanyard for her substitute teacher badge when she put this...lace...thing... on.

Faith Evans paid for someone to do that to her hair, ya'll.

Jessi Alexander made her suit from fabric in the discount bin...from 1972.

And the winner of the fashion disasters? Skylar Grey, whose dress was made of car leather interior in beige.

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 , pressed o

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're fun

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
