Back to sitting on children!

FINALLY got a jorb in OKC, and it turns out to be the same babysitting service I worked for back home in Dallas :-) Fine by me! SeekingSitters is a great company and I can leave whenever I need to... (meaning, whenever Telsey calls again.) Already have a few jobs set up for the near future so I can make some money and pay back my unbelievably generous roommate! He's the best. Poor thing. I'm that moochy roommate no one wants to have.

Updates on the Wicked job: I talked to the casting company a few weeks ago, asking if they could give me any information about when they would need me or where I would be working. Their answer was, "You're definitely still on our list, but there's honestly no way of knowing when we'll need you or where you'll be." So there you go. I know about as much as everyone else... which is nothing. I'm still on my dad's medical insurance until they find out that I'm not enrolled in school anymore, so I'm just squeezing the most out of that that I can for the time being.

This transition period has been somewhat emotionally frustrating for me, knowing something great is coming, but not knowing when it will come. My sweet boy, the puppy, Pippin, and a few friends have made it wonderful, but man, do I want to get started. An expected few weeks has turned into a few months. So hopefully it won't be long now! Staying positive :-) It's what I do!

(Yeah I know it's a few days late, but...) Oscar Fashion Review!

Herroh!
Not many people know that I really enjoy fashion... I also like to drool over pretty dresses, so the Academy Awards and award season in general is a beautifully drooly time for me. SO- let's get started with best in my opinion:

NATALIE PORTMAN:
Wowowowowowow... OMG I want it. Gorgeous orchid/lilac/pink color and unbelievable overall. Pretty hair and simple diamond studs finish it off without being gaudy. One of MY fashion icons! I can honestly say that if i could own all of anyone's clothes, it would be hers. Natalie in Rodarte:


ANNE HATHAWAY:
She looked like an icicle... in a good way! Paillettes, paillettes, paillettes! Anne in Armani Privé:

AMY ADAMS:
Lots of critics didn't like this one, but I considered it one of the best of the night! Love her. Amy in a Carolina Herrera gown and a colorful jeweled bib necklace by Fred Leighton:

PENELOPE CRUZ:
Although I'm not a big fan of her acting, Penelope looked nom nom in this vintage Balmain dress with lace detailing. I'm pretty sure now every girl in the U.S. wants this dress for their wedding. Can you believe it is SIXTY years old? I can't! Gimme!

MARISA TOMEI:
Beautiful pleating on Marisa's gown, and the fit is just impeccable! A perfect pick for the oscars. Marisa in Versace:

ROBERT DOWNEY JR.:
Can you believe he finally shaved? I'm glad he did! Robert looked fantabulously clean. Look at those details!:

ZAC EFRON:
Men take note! This is an example of PERFECT tailoring. Good for him. Now if he could only act...:


MILEY CYRUS:
It's Miley!!! Okay okay, I know a LOT of people didn't like this dress, but I actually did! Yes, she did look like a disco ball, but she worked that ridiculousness. Holiday Barbie on top of wedding cake, or not... Miley rocked this tiered beaded Zuhair Murad gown and Mary Norton clutch:


And now for the BAD... The outfits that make you wanna say NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! First off...

KATE WINSLET:
Yeah, the dress is okay, but her hair is what definitely ruined it for me. It looked like Hillary Clinton and Olive Oil from Popeye mated and had a hair baby. Sorry, hon. Kate in Yves Saint Laurent:


JESSICA BIEL:
I swear she's had a nosejob in the past ten years... Anyone with me? Anyways, everyone was pretty much in universal agreement that this dress by Prada... well... sucked. To quote a tweet from @highindustrial, "Jessica Biel's bedsheet bandeau-esque gown screams "****! Your wife's home early!" The red carpet does NOT match the drapes:


PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN:
A brilliant actor fails in the fashion department. I know we're in a recession, but COME ON.

And last, but not least... Alyssa Fox's 2009 Oscar worst dressed goes to...

HEIDI KLUM:
GAH! You'd think that with all those seasons of Project Runway under her belt, that she could have done SO much better than this. Skanky gown, Jane Jetson collar, ridiculous amounts of gaudy jewelry, and bad flat hair=NO. Too much. Heidi in Roland Mouret:

Oh Boy!!!

First blog!!!
Whoopee!!!

I haven't done this since Livejournal back in the day! I had a few ideas for entries, and a Facebook note just wouldn't do :-)

So here I go. Hopefully I can keep up with this thing and update it somewhat often. I should be blogging about things I like, past things I have liked, pictures, videos, updates on my life and career, and most likely some inevitable links to CuteOverload.com. Best.

I do use Google Reader to view my daily web-media feed, so subscribe if you'd like! I would if I were you...

Love and fairies,
Alyssa Fox
