You know it's the holidays when you get to see...

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

This year, there were the most amount of wings ever used in any VS fashion show. It was also Chanel's first year for wearing wings: I was surprised she didn't get them earlier! Furthermore, there was six different parts this year: sports, PINK, heaven (with Akon), barnyard, wild animal, and romantic firework (with Katy Perry). All the girls were so gorgeous, nobody was looking at Katy or Akon, at all. They were looking at this:


As my roommate said, every girl will go throw up now.

"Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show takes more than genetically blessed supermodels to come to fruition—it takes a village." (Harper's BAZAAR)

I absolutely loved the accents of feathers used in the wings. There were a lot of gorgeous colored peacock feathers and bleached white feathers; the designer team for the show is extremely innovative when deciding what to use for the materials. There were many natural aspects, such as straw, feathers, and flowers, that made the show so much more beautiful. Check out HB's backstage video about the wings below:

He makes them feel so awkward.

I wonder how they walk on that glitter filled runway. I like my glitter, but this runway made it look almost too ridiculous... and the sequins did not help. I am not saying that their use of sequins with bras were as bad as any Ed Hardy get up but they could use a more innovative, or expensive, type of product.

Other things I had a problem with: The boxing getup/sports part/ugly soccerball beanbag thing. That whole segment regarding to sports was really, quite, well... awkward and disturbing. THIS and THIS are not hot.

I did love the romantic part though. It was well, romantic. The effortless look of sexiness was completely evident here: THIS and THIS are hot.

But if you were wondering why Miranda Kerr wasn't in the show... She's pregnant with a pirate's baby.

If you missed it the first time around, there will be moment to relive the fantasy lines on December 8th at 8/7C on the CW!

Tis the season...

Since the holidays are coming up, I thought it'd be appropriate to make a "best of the best" and "worst of the worst" list for the holiday season. Starting from October, and going til December, I have compiled the best and the worst of the next two and a half months...

BEST:
1) The amazing end-of-the-year sales after Christmas.
Seriously, who wouldn't love to get 75% that amazing new Betsy Johnson Faux Fur Mink Chubby Jacket from Bloomingdales?!
2) Halloween costumes - Being able to dress like a slut and get away with it.
If one just puts "sexy" in the beginning of any regular Halloween costume name, it suddenly becomes popular. Examples? Sexy cop. Sexy vampire. Sexy Hippie. Sexy clownfish. (Any Disney character made into an adult costume is just wrong, though).
3) Tryptophan Coma on Thanksgiving.
Turkey (although I'm a vegetarian), cornbread, stuffing, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, yams and cranberry sauce is always the best on Thanksgiving. You eat a lot of delicious food, unbutton a button or undo a belt, pass out and wake up for round two later on that night.
4) Days off work.
Self explanitory.
5) The holiday flavors of Starbucks or Peet's Coffee drinks.Peppermint, gingerbread, pumpkin spice, gingersnap, deliciousness. Having a peppermint hot cocoa with a shot of espresso in front of the fireplace while reading a good book is the best.
And last....
6) THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW.My goodness. Considering the Victoria's Secret website crashed a couple years ago due to the amount of people wanting to watch the live stream of the show just goes to show that it is one of the most popular events of the season. Who will be the musical artists? Who will be the guest winner of the model search? What will the lingerie be? Will there be wings again on the models, like always?

For those of you who don't already know, it will be airing this year on Tuesday, December 1, at 10:00pm on CBS.

WORST:
1) Getting toothbrushes instead of candy on Halloween.
That's the exact opposite of what little kids want on a holiday devoted to candy. EXACT opposite.
2) Watching the Detroit Lions lose every year on Thanksgiving.
It's just sad. They are one of the worst football teams in the NFL and seeing them lose year after year after the Macy's Day Parade just makes you bummed.
3) Pretending to like bad presents from distant relatives.
"Thanks so much for the dalmatian spotted sweater with matching socks... I especially love the fur trimmed wrists of the sweater and the pom poms coming from the ankles of the socks! How cute..." No.
4) Fruitcake.
Just look at it....
Seriously, no fruit is naturally that green!
The walnuts could break teeth!
It's so tough, it could be used as a brick.
5) Anything Martha Stewart.
There is such a thing as too many butternut squash and chicken recipes, "creepy" crafts, and Christmas decorations. (I have to admit though, her "I Scream" sandwiches for halloween are cute...)

With that, I complete the list of the best and worst of the holidays.
Tell me your thoughts!
