Highlights and Lowlights of Fashion Rocks

Last night as I was flipping through stations out of boredom because, well I’m still sicker than sick and now I’m on 3 more antibiotics on top of the first 2 I was prescribed. I pretty much feel like I’ve opened my own damned pharmacy around here. Not to mention all the essential oils I’m dousing all over my body in hopes and prayers that something is going to bring me out of this haze. I can’t remember the last time I had a cold, let alone had a Sinus Infection. Scratch that I’ve never had a sinus infection and these suckers are painful. I’m so ready to be back at workout (I’ve missed 2 weeks) and just plain ol’ feel normal again!

Anywho, back to last night. I was flipping through stations and landed on Ryan Seacrest’s collaboration with Macy’s called Fashion Rocks on CBS. It was like Victoria’s Secret fashion show meets a music award shows, just without the awards. I found it quite interesting. Since I love Ryan (who doesn’t?) and there were a handful of artists I love performing, I settled in for the night complete with my favorite blanket and my iPhone. While I will admit the concept overall was great, there were several hits and misses from the night.

HIT – Jennifer Lopez “Bootie” performance

I mean, who doesn’t love Jenny from the block and JLo does know how to put on a good show and apparently one the CBS didn’t feel the need to censor. Her performance enlighten us with a new way of “tweaking” and brought back the idea of being proud of our big booties. I’m now re-thinking Trish’s Bootie Blaster classes at The 12 and might need to add it into my weekly routine. I mean who doesn’t want it round, thick and juicy, right? Props Jennifer, I was digging your performance. I mean, girl you’re showing us how sexy our 40’s can be. yeow!

MISS- Nicki Minaj

Well, this lady decided to go head to head with Jennifer Lopez in a “whose got the better big bootie” competition and, in my opinion lost … big time. I think CBS might’ve agreed since they only panned on half of her performance and then spent the rest of the time show celebrities in attendance and Jennifer Lopez’s dead pan reaction to what she was seeing. I’m not a huge Nicki fan, so her and her sequin and denim, barely there “outfit” she wore last night can talk a walk. This was a big Miss in my book.

HIT – The Band Perry’s Performance

I love this dynamic trio! They are hot, hot, hot!! Not only do they have an incredible album, but they put on a great show and one that’s not to be missed. Even if you’re not a huge country fan, you must check out their performance. In other news, I have major Kimberly hair envy. I mean, does it ever not look perfect?!

MISS – Justin Bieber

No, just no! No to you getting on stage, no to you telling us you’re more comfortable in your boxers, even bigger N-O to you stripping down to your boxers. Boy, could you not hear all the boo-ing!? People do not like you, you are not a bad boy, you’re just becoming “EWW” (said in my best Jimmy Fallon accent). Stop flexing and get off the stage!

HIT – Enrique Iglasias 

I mean, do I even need to say more? Bailando, sure I’ll dance with you buddy.

MISS – Guyliner

Apparently this is all the red carpet rage as far as Fashion Rocks is concerned. I’m thinking that I’ll save this for teen angst boys in a rock band. Jury’s out, do you vote guyliner or no guyliner? I can’t even believe we’re going to discuss it.

HIT – Miranda Lambert’s performance outfit

Yeow! Talk about showing off her new, sleeker figure and her new bob. Good for her. She was looking hot and sounding hot. That girl’s got some legs on her! This girl knows how to own the stage and look great while doing it.

While there were so many other great performances and moments of the night, these are the ones that stood out for me. Any you caught I didn’t mention? I’d love hear them.
