Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just saying, I feel like the shoes fit fine when she had them on sitting down. They were a bad choice, but probably the right size. Unless you mean something else by "fit."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The woman who accepted the documentary award for "Saving Face" was wearing the most beautiful outfit of the night.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Melissa McCarthy's dress looks like someone took two dresses designed for skinny women and sewed them together. It's really not flattering at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If your feet slide out of them when you stand up in them (and you buy them with the intent of standing up in them), then I maintain that they don't fit, and you didn't try them on properly. Who seriously tries on shoes for anything important (or, really, anything) without standing up, not to mention walking a few strides?

The fit of shoes is more than just the size of the soles. It's the configuration of the whole shoe in relation to your foot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, now I have the autograph of an Academy Award winner since I have William Joyce's signature in A Day With William Robinson.

Him and Brett winning is pretty sweet for me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

ita, when I opened the link to that photo, the ugly ill-fitting shoes were the first thing I saw! Gah. Even worse than the dress in question, and the dress on the woman wearing The Shoes looked like a re-fitted burka.

Why did James Earl Jones, Dick Smith, and Oprah Winfrey get a standing O? What did they do? Something humanitarian, I assume. Meryl Streep looked fantastic.

Various lifetime awards -- Oprah's was humanitarian, but the other ones were for the work.

Aw, yay Meryl. Too bad, Viola.

I can't believe I'm still up. Stupid Oscars.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Meryl's adorable.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Now Gary Oldman's going to get a consolation Oscar for Butterfield 9: Electric Boogaloo.

hip deep in pie

I think someone needs to find a film for Oldman to be nominated for next year.
