Oh and in regards to your one red dress nom, I can safely say that NO ONE rocks red better than Catherine Zeta Jones. That woman was made for red.

I forgive Jacyln Smith only because she bears a striking resemblance to my mother. And Jessica Walters' onscreen personality bears an absurd resemblance to my mother.

CZJ wasn't here tonight, though, was she? And I agree, she rocks the red.
I can see how Jessica Walter resembles your mom, but I never knew she was so pretty as to blend Jacklyn and Jessica! Those other angels looked toh up, though.

Yes, Portia really kicked it out with "a bunch of things very few people can pull off." Sure, she's gorgeous. That helps. But gray? With scarlett lips and paler than pale skin?! It's like a miracle. Okay, I may be biased, I've always thought she was really pretty. But still.
I'm kinda digging the girls who eschewed the tan.

Well, seeing as I am so fair I'm practically ghoulish, I can't help but root for the non-orange ladies too. No, CZJ was not there, but I mean in past history, no one has ever matched the carpet better than she has. The milky skin? The bittersweet dark chocolate tresses? The va-va-voom figure? And in RED? Dayim! You better work!

I wasn't feeling Ellen Pompeo though...still think she's too skeletal and the upper portion of her dress looked dangerously close to heading southbound. I know you hated the hair too, but it just ruined the whole picture for me.

Have you ever visited www.gofugyourself.com? If not, I won't tell you anymore, just go there RIGHT NOW. You can thank me later.

Hey, the south park on now is totally the Canada one. "What?! I thought there was only one road in Canada!" " There's no Canada like French Canada, etc"

And now to address what you actually said.
I have to say, CZJ is an incomperable beauty. Even to my eyes, that can see beauty a lot of places, I am mesmerized by her. She's a very multi ethnic beauty, too. She could be a gorgeous native american girl, or Mexican girl, or any countries' gorgeous girl. Her charm and facial symmetry, plus her awesome hair, overwhelmes me (figures she's a Libra). It's almost not fair, her charm/beauty. Plus, Welch bitch can sing and dance. She really is almost unfairly blessed. I alway try to find her shallow, and not likeable, but never, ever, can. She's gorgeous, talented, and I like her.
And there is nothing better than dark tresses and red dresses.

I feel you didn't really give Pompeo a chance. If you'll look again, she didn't look much skeletal.

And, you can't fault her for being thin. I thought she picked a very flattering dress, both to compliment her slim figure, and her coloring. Yes, the hair was bad. But the clothes...the clothes were awesome. So, she's thin. It's not her fault, and she looks lovely, IMO. It was heading a bit southbound, but she may have the same philosophy as me: My boobs are so small that I can get away with that ****.

I mean, seriously, who cares if you see a Pompeo nipple slip? You'll need your binoculars! I revel in my flattish chest, and I see her celebrating that here, appropriately. And it's not as if her dress actually did slip.

I love it, I think she did good.(not with the hair.)
But what about Miss Heigl? She totally stole the show, IMO.

And I'm not totally into the look, so you know I really think that.

Red · #34 08-29-2006, 01:09 AM

Oh, hands down Heigl stole the show. I have always considered here a cutie, but she was a true bombshell last night and not in a try-hard sort of way. Absolutely, completely flawless. Best combo everything I've seen in awhile.

Okay, you're defending the Pompeo skinny? Really?? Is it because of the direct comparison from (I think) last year's Emmy's when she wore that white tablecloth that even though it concealed more skin, you couldn't mistake the jutting bones you could carve a turkey on? Was that last year's Emmy's? Do you know what I'm talking about?

Anyway, just because she was 110 pounds instead of 97 pounds, I still don't think it makes it okay. Blech. Too skinny. There I said it.

And, hello?? It appears you have not gone directly to gofugyourself.com. What gives? This site is MADE for you.

No, I'm defending the Pompeo skinny because I think she looks great, and also because I read the articles that said how she has to do extra stuff to make sure she stays up to weight, that the old Italian women in her neighborhood growing up called her some name that means skinny, and that it isn't her fault. Plus, I think she looks fine for these Emmys. I had a friend growing up who had to take special pills to gain weight.

To me, she looks pretty natural with her skinny, in contrast to many of the others. I also think Sandra Oh looks natural with her skinny.

And I think the last years Emmys are the ones where I liked Pompeo's and Oh's dresses, both white? Divine.
Hey, I'm as much in favor of realistic body types as the next person, but there are a few people that are skinny that it is obvious that that is their body type.
I'm not about to reverse discriminate, and Pompeo and Oh are both naturally very slender. And I thought that Pompeo looked a bit gaunt (though good) last time, but I chalked it up to the stress of a new series, and, you know, I had read how she had trouble gaining weight. But, here, I think she is a bit more filled out, and just looks beautiful. Aside from the hair. She is slim, and chose a dress that (I think) flattered her figure.
I'm loathe to both condemn girls who are overweight, and also am loathe to condemn anyone who is naturally thin, just because I will never be that. I can't be mad at those girls for how they are.

I'm actually glad that some girls are naturally thin and don't starve themselves. Just like I'm equally glad about Heigl, and her awesome curves. You know, whoever the chick is, she should be that chick.
Omigod, that just reminded me of my other runner up - Miss Italian Lorraine Bracco, who has gained a bit of weight in middle age, like a good Italian girl should, and doesn't give a **** (like a good Italian girl wouldn't) and has always been hella sexy and funny. She's the winner of the..."Yeah? you like my big boobs? You know you want summa this crazy!" award. I love her.
If you've ever seen her in an interview, she is crazy, she'll say any damn thing she wants. Love it. Extremely refreshing, and leave it to an Italian woman.

Okay, I'm just making up ethnocentric **** right there, but I still like her.
Go on witcha bad self, Lorraine!

(seriously, she's crazy, she'll say any damn thing!) But if you remember back, she has also been very gorgeous.
Another Libra, Oct. 2nd.

Yeah?! That's right I'm hot! Bring it!

She is beautiful but that dress is awful for her figure. It broadens her shoulders and narrows her hips which is the exact opposite of what would be flattering.

I LOVE their extreme closeup of Tyra's wig!

I'm with you, Amber, she is so phony. I could never watch her show either, It's just not my thing.

like they said, Tyra has access to the best makeup and hair artists in the world...yet she allows her wigs to look like ****ake. Beyonce has had a couple of similar incidents, but Beyonce is better at keeping her hair very, um natural.

See, here's the thing, I was a skinny-mini myself all through junior high and high school, couldn't gain weight to save my life and I was an absolute rail, LESS than a rail, so I understand the plight of the naturally skinny woman.

However...

Once you reach a certain age, your body and its metabolism changes and even though I would still widely be considered slim, I am by no means the weight I was when I was 17 and never will be again. When vertebrae is visible on a 30 year old woman, there is something else going on. And isn't it Nicole Richie who's all "I eat what I want, whenevah" and, well, look at her.

Don't worry, I won't go monting a soapbox about skinniness in Hollywood, I understand why it exists. I just can't say that I buy it when women are emaciated and claim to not have a problem.

...and although Pompeo's dress was passable, the greasy helmet she called her hair was enough to drive the whole look into the ground.

That depends though, there is a gene that some people have that keeps them from gaining weight. My roommate is 33 and you can see her vertebrae but she also EATS. Seriously, I would like to smash those big bowls of ice cream into her face.

She does mostly watch it but she eats way more than people would think. Although she is at a healthy weight I think at 5'9" 130lbs. Nothing like Ms Ritchie.

Hmm, well I'm 5'10" and 135...and I still eat like a jackass, but what I was in high school? Like 120. Gross, but that's how it was. So wait, are we agreeing then?

Remember when Calista Flockhart showed up at the Emy's a few years back and was literally a bone rack? And she was all indignant, like "how dare you critisize my weight, I feel beautiful", and there were literally no words to describe how grotesquely skinny she was. That's my point, its the ones that are beyond recognition as a healthy human being and chastise the media for their judgement, when all the while, they feed (bad use of word) the Hollywood stereotype.

I hear you. She finally admitted she did have an eating disorder. Hopefully she eats healthfully now.

I hate you for being 135 at 5'10" and being able to eat!
