Award Season Prophecies: Screen Actors Guild Awards 2013

Another weekend, another award show! This time, the Screen Actors Guild Awards. While the SAG awards are relatively new to the Award Season calendar (it's only the 19th year), it is, I think, important to the Award Season because the awards are voted for by members of the Guild itself. That's to say, the actors themselves are voting for which actor they think has done the best job.

Again, I haven't seen all the films up for awards, but I've seen the trailers and heard the buzz so I'm going for an educated guess. I'm not guessing the TV awards because I don't watch enough telly to really be able to make a decent guess. But just so you know, I want Glee to win Best TV ensemble in a Comedy Series ;).

Key:
Film I think will win
Film(s) I want to win
Both

**Mandarendare** Runway Rehearsals - Part 2

Calm. Composed. Ready to *Walk that Walk* with my Gentlemen and Laydeez for Mandarendare.

OMGOMGOMG!! THE **MANDARENDARE** FASHION SHOW IS A WEEK FROM NOW!
It's FRIDAY. Feb 1st. Doors at 6:30pm. Banquet rooms of the Oakland Center at Oakland University.
(Click for the Website Here)
I'm super excited. I really love the Creative Walking we're getting to do, and the Poses of Our Own Volition. Also, we did some Super Rad Spinny-Turns this week that LOOK AMAZING.

Here are some of the Sponsors/Designers watching the models rehearse their walks. This beautiful model-lady walking here has a FABULOUS WALK. I wish the photo would have captured it. It is lovely and amazing. I can't wait to see what we get to wear, what the make-up and hair is going to be like, what the backstage experience is going to be (it varies GREATLY from show to show)

Also there's an AFTER-PARTY!! Haaayyyyyyyy!

And since you know i just love being on a college campus. I was looking at all the flyers on the bulletin board at the Oakland Center. You know, like *RUSH THIS FRAT*, join this *COMPUTER CLUB*, come join us for *LIBYAN-AMERICAN APPRECIATION NIGHT*, etc etc. And then I saw this.... (above photo) I cried tears of actual anguish when i read that comment by the asterisk at the bottom of the page. Alas, I have no experience..... :'-(
What in THE HELL is Table-Top Role Playing??? Is it Cold-Weather LARPing? Ah, you know i love the LARPers. (Live Action Role Playing). There is seriously nothing more hilarious, entertaining or awesome. I love love love it. (see video below)

Caleidoscope of Color - Teena

 I love Teena. She doesn't want to admit it, but SHE IS AN ARTIST. She makes all kinds of wonderful stuff, check out her blog - Berry Favorite Things (click here)
PLUS, she made this shirt THIS MORNING!! omg!!
How Gangsta is that, "hmmm, I have nothing to wear... So I'll just design and create a shirt RIGHT NOW."
It reminds me of a Prince interview I saw one time, where he said when he's bored with music he just creates some. You know you're talented when you can just do that.

 She used a technique called **Sharpie Tye-Dying** (click here for how to do it.) It's so funny, I have such intense smell memories, that reading "rubbing alcohol" in the instructions for this almost made me pass out right now. (needle anxiety) gah.

AND LOOK AT THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERRRRIIIIOOOOUUUSSSSLLLYYYY!!!?? Vintage Miss Piggy Earrings. How freaking amazing. I love them.

Rest of her outfit:
Cardigan - Target
Jeans - Thrifted
Hair Scarf - Hallmark

Jan 25th - Vanessa - High School Pom Pon Rules

I got this skirt when i was 14 years old. That's more than half my life ago.

It's my **POM-PON** skirt from freshman year of High School. Today I was first thinking of wearing the Pom-Pon Cardigan, but it's kind of short and boxy, so I wasn't feeling it. So then, I thought, "what about the skirt!?" BOOM.
It's funny to think about the 14 year old Vanessa. I know at that time, I thought I'd never get married in my whole life, and certainly didn't think I would ever have kids. I remember my good friend Robbie Badd saying that he would marry me, "and we wouldn't have to 'do stuff' or anything". LOL. I think I was still banking on landing my Pro-Beach Volleyball career and touring sandy beaches across the world, crushing chicks at the net all day. Or that I would be a punk-rock star like Kim Gordon, and live in NYC in the Carlyle Hotel, doing performance art on the side.

The future is pure mystery.

Outfit:
Track Jacket - Urban Outfitters
Long sleeve T- GAP
Pom-Pon Skirt - BHS Pom Pon Squad
Leggings - Reebok
Shoes - Roos
Spätzle - My guts
