"Girl, you better speak up and...

Pro-noun-cee-ate!"

These words are what my Granny used to tell me when I was somewhere with head hanging low and mumbling as child. Well, seems like "The People's Princess" Miss Jennifer Hudson didn't stand up to Uncle Andre the night of the Oscars. She didn't like her dress. Listen Jenn,I tell my Uncle Harry and Bruce off all the time. :) lol!! They taught me to stand up to a man even if he carries a Fendi B-Bag and wears Louis Vuitton Stocking Caps. Now if you read the Vogue article that Andre wrote on Jennifer it tells the story of the "dress" and how Miss Jenn had sketches of this dress for WEEKS. Check it out:

"Tucked in her bag, along with her new Apple MacBook( a much wanted Christmas present from her agency William Morris) is a special envelope of the sketches of a dress by Oscar de la Renta, who is at the top of her shortlist of favorite designers. She knows what looks good on her, and this dress, which she'll fit in early January, is one of the only ones she's considering for Academy Awards night". pg. 545, Vogue,March 2007.

So obviously she didn't like it then... Discuss.

"The People's Princess"... Part 2...

Jennifer's makeup was fantastic!!! I must learn the line my eyes like that!!!
Congrats to Forrest and Jenn for winning!! Yay! I missed Forrest winning because I went the sleep.:(
Wasn't Lil' Jaden funny and Jada looked as though she was on the edge of tears when he was up there presenting those awards. Ah, motherhood...
Jenn @ a pre-Oscar party.

Just want to say I love it:)

Better pick of a dress. She should have done this dress instead of the chocolate for the red carpet.

Rural Glamour Oscar Fashion Wrap Up! Part1...

"The People's Princess" as Mi Tio Andre would call her. I didn't like her bolero jacket which I think put her on a lot of worst dressed lists this morning. But she took it off and it was chocolate heaven. And did ya'll see those shoes! To die and kill a bitch for!
Does the Queen wear anything else but black? Bad ass dress though.
I really love the color and the cut. She was another dress I saw on the worst dressed list this morning. What?
Keisha's dress looks very House of Dereon lol!
Now Tracey you are not just Eddie's girl, you are a Executive- beyotch- in- charge! Not my favorite at all.
Thumbs up!! Go Soror Jada!

Okay, When I first saw this dress last night on E!, the hair, makeup and top of dress took me by surprise. Was Miss Bey doing "classic elegance"? Then the camera panned down and I saw that too high, tacky slit and immediately my mind change.Same ole' Same ole' Bey. And during her interview with Ryan Seacrest she kept messing with her hair!
Wrong color. She's too pale for that fuschia.
Divine. My favorite for the night.
Everyone was saying that if you are in the Devil Wears Prada she should have done a different dress. I just didn't like the black on it.
Great dress. Too mucht Yaky hair. She must bought all the blonde hair at the Iman's
Beauty Mart on South Blvd.

To Be Continued!!
