I watched the Grammy Awards last night because I like to look at all the fashion and hair styles and it dawned on me how very unfashionable I really am. Actually the only time I cared about fashion was when I was in high school because I wanted to be like everyone else. However that doesn’t keep me from admiring style and those were some beautifully dressed celebrities.
I love to see the in styles and watch other peoples deportment and how they act and it’s always a plus when music is involved. I love almost any type of music and it’s always cool to see the people I grew up listening to and how they have aged and check out all the botoxed faces. I always wonder how all these icons must feel being on display, but I really enjoy seeing them.
I thought Tina Turner was still fantastic at 68, 69 in Nov. and thought to myself that I’ll probably look like 100 when I reach her age and it was nice to see Cher also. I can listen to almost anything music wise and I like rap and hip hop, but there is no way I could tell you who any of those celebrities are. I am definitely out of the loop when it comes to some of the younger stars.
I really loved the Josh Groban duet with Andrea Bocelli, I could listen to those 2 forever maybe they could do an album together, I know I would certainly buy it. To my ears that is what music is all about, simply beautiful. Some people can handle the lime light, but I certainly wouldn’t be able to fit in, nope not in a million years. I would be more like Howard Hughes, very reclusive. Someone else can have my 15 minutes of fame because I don’t want it.
I have always been a jeans and t-shirt person because that’s what I’m comfortable in and I have never felt the need to even try and compete except in school, but I grew out of that phase fast. Dressing up makes me very uncomfortable, at one point I thought I would try high heels instead of boots and sneakers and bought about 7 pairs of gorgeous heels from a well known store that was going out of business.
I love a bargain and these shoes were beautiful, needless to say I think I wore one pair once and realized I simply wasn’t coordinated enough to pull off the elegant look. I felt so awkward, just like a little girl playing in her mommies shoes so I gave them all away to a lady that knew how to walk in them and gratefully went back to my boots. I also feel very uncomfortable in dresses so I know I would never be on a red carpet event.
