Oscar 2011 dresses: Yes, No and Hmmm
With all this Oscar fashion buzz and grading of celebrity dresses, I simply had to have my own say – at least about the outfits that evoked strong emotions. Thus I sorted Hollywood gals into three categories: those who nailed it, those who failed it, and those kinda hanging in the middle…
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Natalie Portman in Rodarte
Apart from simply glowing the way only a beautiful future mom can, Natalie also picked a simply perfect dress to match both the occasion and her newly shaped figure. Bravo!
Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein Collection
This Hollywood newcomer absolutely nailed it at her first Oscars red carpet. A simple but totally flattering cut plus great color - she easily beat all the big stars that opted for red that night.
Mila once again proved she's one of the sexiest youngsters in Hollywood today. Judging from her other recent red carpet appearances she knows how to pick a perfect dress and how to rock it. Just look at her - she's a vision!
Although I'm not sure about this very architectural cleavage cutout, she's quite adorable in this. The metallic glow and color that suits her so well play the main part.
This Givenchy creation is a complex work of art, and it certainly takes the right lady to pull that off, someone like ... Cate. Some other lady could look just weird in this but she's a real stunner!
I love this deep blue, which is also perfect for natural redheads like Amy and the shimmer adds it the necessary glamour. I'm not crazy about the high neck though, as well as that giant jewel. It would have been much better strapless!
I love Florence because she's great musician, because she's a bold redhead and because she manages to stay true to her vintage style, while staying true to the red carpet demands. In this champagne-coloured frock she looks dreamy and light as feather!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Apparently that's what happens when you're hosting the ceremony and there is all that pressure to blow everyone away with your first appearance... In the end you just freak - and turn up looking like this. It seems like Anne wrapped the piece of fabric around herself at last minute, and as result her breasts look flattened, her waistline is all wrinkles and the bottom part is like a crumpled bright-red plastic bag. And speaking of red - this shade is just wrong for her.
Ok, this is a way bigger disaster than Anne's, since it looks out of place and out of fashion. All those layers and cuts are so totally wrong, I don't even know how to explain this!
Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana
I do like the general idea of it, but it still somehow comes out not good. Why? Maybe because magenta's wrong for her, the pencil-shape doesn't flatter her figure and her hair is too lackluster for the occasion?
I'm sorry, but this is just boring. Maybe it also has to do with her expression and haircut (which I hate for some reason), but even though the dress is see-through, she doesn't look sexy or seductive at all. Just dull.
I know some critics loved it, can't really support them. Maybe it's the hair, maybe the shade of red (as with Anne) that's just slightly wrong, maybe the bodice top that is strange and uncomplimentary. Sorry, doesn't work for me at all.

Go Wild West
Miss strutting around town in your cowboy boots and a belt with a heavy shiny buckle channelling Madonna's look circa 2000? Well it's just about time time to pull them back out of the closet since Wild West is all the rage again. Want proof?
Exhibit A: RALPH LAUREN spring/summer 2011 collection
A new twist on the classic cowboy style, mixing rusty leather and fringe with shiny metallic fabrics and demure high-neck chiffon dresses that all the decent ladies wore at the time.
Exhibit B: "COWBOYS & ALIENS"
An unexpected sci-fi take on a Western, in which Daniel Craig's mystery cowboy (appropriately named Jake Lonergan) appears out of nowhere wearing a wicked bracelet-like gadget on his left hand, which proves effective against an alien army which is just about to descent on unsuspecting small town. Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell and Olivia Wilde come along for the ride. To be released this summer.
Exhibit C: "RANGO"
A Western-style cartoon starring a hapless chameleon named Rango with Johnny Depp's voice who walks into a town in the middle of the desert and finds himself an unlikely hero and the only hope for the local animal community in a war against nasty predators. So far looks to be original and totally hilarious. Coming in March.

Vehicle Highlights
The 2009 Acura TL is redesigned and slightly enlarged in most key dimensions. This premium midsize sedan is available in base and SH-AWD (for Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) models. The latter replaces the Type-S as the high-performance member of the TL family. Base versions receive a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 280 hp while SH-AWDs get a 3.7-liter V6 that, at 305 hp, is the most powerful engine yet offered in an Acura. A 5-speed automatic with "Sequential SportShift" steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters is the sole transmission for both models. The SH-AWD includes a sport suspension and 18-inch wheels in place of the 17s used on the base car. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Also standard are leather upholstery with heated front seats, sunroof, wireless cell phone link, and 8-speaker audio. A Technology Package, priced as a separate model, includes 10-speaker audio and a navigation system with real-time traffic and weather alerts.

n addition, a new six-speed automatic transmission replaces the outgoing five-speed unit, which aids in dramatically increasing the car’s highway fuel economy to 29 mpg, a big 3 mpg jump over the outgoing model. City fuel economy is 20 mpg with a combined figure hovering around 24 to 25 mpg.
Both the outgoing 3.5 and 3.7-liter V6s return for the new model year. The 280-pony front-wheel-drive TL comes exclusively with the six-speed automatic, while the 305-horse all-wheel-drive TL SH-AWD will be available with either the automatic or a returning six-speed stick. Base TLs come with 17-inch alloy wheels, while TL SH-AWDs come standard with 18s. A new Advance Package for the TL SH-AWD adds 19-inch alloy wheels with performance all-season tires.
