I will never understand the Gagas/Niki Minajs/Katy Perrys/Keshas of the world who insist on walking around looking like they are clowns dressed up for Halloween night. Compare that to Taylor Swift, who looked so classy and elegant in that pant suit and Rihanna’s dress, which was beautiful. I mean really, what would you rather look like?

The Olympic girls looked good but if you watched them walk, the poor Gabrielle girl couldn’t. They shouldn’t have put chics used to being barefoot in heels; I kept hoping they’d take their shoes off and say screw it.

I think they all look beautiful, how dare you knock Riff Raff Whitney Jefferson? Who do you think you are? Nah, just kidding, who in God’s name is Riff Raff? I bet his mom’s name is Muff Gaffe (get it, cause she birthed him?)

So much hate for Miley Cyrus. I think she looks amazing. Nicki Minaj…she’s not even trying anymore.
It looks like she stopped by a halloween store and picked up her outfit on the way. Good to see the drummer for Green Day is pregnant! YAY!

I disagree with a lot of these. Some of the ones you put in Fab are anything but, and some of the Drab ones are not too bad at all! I guess I just appreciate classy, elegant style.
