How did I get to the Oscars?! #47

If you had asked me 6 months ago as to where I would be I would not have been able to give you a straight answer. I would have never ever told you I'd be in Los Angeles watching the red carpet for the Oscars!

Let me start from the beginning, this is how it went down:
I had planned to meet with someone at the Oscars for a work opportunity, but things didn't go to plan (as is often the case). Luckily I had made a friend who had access to a building that overlooked the red carpet. Sounds like a pretty good alternative right? Walk up, meet your friend and watch the red carpet arrivals. Not so much. Little did I know, security around the Oscars is on par with a secret service lockdown. First of all, the whole block around the Oscars is closed. Streets within a two block radius are lined with security checkpoints. And there are helicopters circling every 30 seconds. Don't forget the snipers on the roofs.

Spotted Tim Gunn & Nina Garcia, plus some much needed Twitter wisdom #43

I think this phrase is appropriate in this case, 'That awkward moment when you come round the corner and Tim Gunn and Nina Garcia are standing in front of you. And all the American's there don't know who they are. And you're having a major freak out. And Tim looks longingly at you.' I believe they were filming a pre-Oscars build up. Too much excitement. I was also meant to go to Terry Richardson's gallery opening tonight but I didn't because I'm waaay tired. And then I hear Paris Hilton was in attendance along with her clique. I apologize for not going and reporting back for you. I am sincerely sorry. That would have been an ultimate people watching opportunity.

In other news, 

I was writing an article for a New Zealand publication and I thought I'd share a little from it with you:

Twitter is like Facebook's ugly but well groomed little sister. I use it mainly to laugh at celebrity rants. One celebrity that is entertaining on a daily basis is Rihanna. She has the same level of grammar etiquette as an 8 year old from Tokoroa. It makes for brilliant entertainment. Share in this insightful wisdom I have plucked from Rihanna’s twitter feed ;

Rihanna ‏ @rihanna

“London is cold AS FUCK!!!!!!!!”

Rihanna ‏ @rihanna

“I be high, but my lows keep a nigga humble”

Rihanna ‏ @rihanna

“Life's a bitch, but that's the only love I know”

Rihanna ‏ @rihanna

“U gon' learn today.....what a long dick look like”

Rihanna ‏ @rihanna

“#RedLipstick all on da papa...Lemme grab my d*ck while ya sit on top!”

So, so much wisdom.

And then this. It seems she is talking to Chirs Brown again. In fact they’ve made another song together. Enough said.

Rihanna ‏ @rihanna

"@chrisbrown Turn up the music remix #RihannaNavy #Teambreezy enjoy!!! vimeo.com/mechanicaldumm…"

And I just spotted this:

Dara Adeeyo ‏ @DAdeeyo

“I had to stop following Rihanna. Her tweets are too juvenile.”

Hear ye, hear ye. Now that’s wisdom. 

And I'm out.

Peace, Morgs
