I know that you were all sipping Earl Gray and eating crustless watercress sandwiches made of triangular wonder bread whilst watching Downton Abbey yesterday evening, so I will give you an update on the other side of the culture wars with a gander at the Grammys.
Ms. Minaj accessorized with a faux Pope in a vain attempt to stave off the hell fire that is licking at her red robes
How courageous to show up to the party after a feral cat attacked you in the alley and slashed your pretty black frock to smithereens
It is a relief to all America to know that although Snooki has shed excess pounds, she has not shed ability to wear an outfit that makes us all thank our lucky stars that we weren't born in New Jersey
Jane Seymour had planned on keeping her heart wide open but was forced to shut it when she couldn't zip up her dress
Sales of cotton candy spiked again when Katy Perry showed up with a stack of sugary blue floss on her noggin
Multi-tasker Fergie prepared for a post Grammy dip in ll Cool j's party hot tub by wearing her black lycra two-piece under her formal neon orange lace mermaid gown
Moscow's Sasha Gravida signaled that Russia is ready to rev up the cold war in a pink confectionary gown with a fully armed sleeve
Undaunted by a rabid raven attack, Corinne Bailey Rae lost one of her hemispheres of hair, but won the battle of the birds, proudly wearing the feathers of her vanquished foes
Even an avowed germaphobe can attend public events wearing an outfit woven of microban fibers and a detachable sit-shield to protect against infectious chair surfaces
If you are looking for Lady Gaga you will not find her here. Nothing makes the Gagster madder than not appearing on my blog.
Did you know that 3 out of 4 Grammy's love watching the Grammy's?

Oh, Larainy. You done 'er again, friend. Some of those pics really help me with my struggling self image. Maybe I'm not so bad after all.
I never watch these kinds of shows. I'm always so happy to have you recap for us. I'm with Jo, I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now.
I missed the show (coming home from a mad shopping weekend with daughter in Seattle) but I wish I'd postponed my trip. There were ideas there - for Mother of the Bride outfits - that might have been helpful in my search!
Such fine descriptions of the awkward attire worn by these diva's of the music world. You gotta wonder what their mother's were thinking. Tisk, Tisk!!!
I'm that fourth grammy - the one who doesn't watch the show. Aren't those outfits ridiculous? What ARE they thinking?
I don't think I've ever watched the Grammys, so I am thankful that you posted these pictures, although I now have to rethink how best to accessorize for work tomorrow, now that it seems EVERYONE is sportin' a pope these days...

You're better than the show itself!
=D
I'm thinkin' how courageous you were to watch the WHOLE thing for this wonderful blog post that our teenage YW girls can relate to. I watched nearly all of it just waiting for the Beach Boys to come on. They were kinda the only ones I really liked. But then I slept through a lot. I thought they did pretty well for a bunch of old codgers from the 60's.
Hey! I'm from the 60's. I can say that. :)
Who needs the Grammys? I'd rather visit Larainy for the highlights. As usual, your twisty take is nothing short of brilliant.
I watched the Grammys (and then Downton :-D) and the women seriously need help. Fergies is just ridonkulous - So glad you didn't include GAGA - ICK!!! Gag Gag
The picture at the end makes me laugh the most!
I guess I missed the Red Carpet part, but I got enough just watching the Grammy's. It's one of the first years where my husband and I felt old and out of it. One of our favorites was Taylor Swift - she is so fresh and adorable. Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston was also beautiful.
I have to say, though, that I just love Lady Gaga. (Sorry Cherie) I do. She rocks, and her music makes me get moving.
How'd you do that with the Pope?
