Wedding Cake Toppers: Cute or Tacky?

13 October, 2009 Nelia

wedding5

Apart from the fact that I’d burnt a huge hole in my dress an hour before Stephanie and Addison’s wedding, to me, their reception was a major success! The beautiful bride wore 4 amazing dresses, the groom seemed to keep it together quite well, as did the bride, everything was very well-organized, and we all had a blast! I really loved that they showed a video of the couple’s morning and the church ceremony for those of us that missed it. Congratulation, Stephanie! I wish you and your new hubby an ocean of love and happiness together!

For a few of my other friends that are getting married quite soon, these few finds on Etsy might be of interest to you! As well as to any wedding guests that want to make a personal gift to the newlyweds! These wedding cake toppers are adorable, sometimes cringe-worthy, and at times scary, but I think they are worth a look.

About a year ago, I attended a wedding in which the couple had bobbleheads made to resemble themselves on top of their cake. As a sort of The Office tribute, I thought the idea was totally cute! So for those of you that are looking for cake toppers, the ones below are all from Etsy and range from about $50 to $200, depending on the level of customization. Some sellers will take care of the smallest details to ensure that your topper meets your high expectations, and most ship internationally. Next wedding is in about a month, so Jo, you still have time to get one of you and Gabe made on Etsy! I think your figurine should be trying on a shoe, while Gabe is buried in a pile of shoes with only his head sticking out. What do you think?

I am super excited about the new Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008 exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum! It’s about time, ROM people!

“A star-studded array of almost 150 iconic photographs, Vanity Fair Portraits explores a glamorous photographic history of portraiture featuring such legends as Madonna, Tom Cruise, Bette Davis, Ernest Hemingway, Louis Armstrong and Cary Grant and works by master photographers including Mario Testino and Annie Leibovitz.”

Vanity Fair photos are on display from September 26, 2009 to January 3, 2010 (free entry during Nuit Blanche!). See you there!

Friday Faux Pas: Stephanie Pratt’s Face

18 September, 2009 Nelia

steph_pratt

Today’s Friday Faux Pas comes courtesy of Stephanie Pratt’s face. If you are not a reality TV junkie, all you need to do is take a look at the pic above – the before and the after. Yes, that is the same person, and she is only 23. In my opinion, her “before” face was way cuter than her “after”. She now resembles a cross between a blow-fish and a blow-up doll – so not pretty! And the worst thing is that there are people in the blogosphere that are giving her props for doing this to her face, saying that she looks “more beautiful”. Well, if the definition of “more beautiful” is “more plastic-looking, with nothing unique or familiar left of her original face”, then yes…more beautiful. People suck!

Wednesday Candy: Clive Owen

16 September, 2009 Nelia

To some it’s Brad Pitt, to others it’s Becks. To me…the embodiment of a perfect man, of a man’s man, of a hot and moody man, to me, that man is Clive Owen. Imagine “Closer” without Clive. Not worth watching, right? It’s his attitude, the way he carries himself, and, of course, it’s his voice. Deep, demanding…sexy as hell. Or maybe it’s his stare, a little bit glaring, but…sexy as hell. You get my point.

Was casually walking in full stalker mode in front of Elgin on Tuesday night at the premiere of “The Boys are Back”. What? Not embarrassed at all. I waited to meet Enrique Iglesias for 8 hours when I was sixteen. EIGHT HOURS (and no, I am still not embarrassed). So hanging out by Elgin Theatre, hoping to catch a glimpse of the sexy beast was nothing. And catch a glimpse I did. Many, many glimpses. I would probably be still standing half-paralyzed in front of the theatre today, if the cops didn’t drag me away kicking and screaming. Ok, maybe they didn’t drag me away, but the stupid volunteer-type chick did put her nonmanicured hand in front of my camera (while I wasn’t even in front of the theatre! isn’t it illegal to ask someone to move away from public property?)! I am not a freaking paparazzo, just a loyal and not at all rowdy (on the outside) fan of the man’s work. What in the freaking hell?! All of my fury aside, I did get a few (blurry) pics and a few good looks at his gorgeous smile (more like a smirk). Great success! In your face, power-tripping-volunteer-chick-standing-in-front-of-the-theatre-wearing-purple-boots!

So to cap this off, today’s Wednesday Candy is Clive Owen. Because he is hot!

Wednesday Candy: David Gandy

2 September, 2009 Nelia

david gandy

Today’s Wednesday Candy is David Gandy! Rhymes with candy! But that’s not why I chose him. The guy is obviously gorgeous, and is a star of D&G Light Blue commercials, which were shot in lovely Capri. Love, love, love the Amalfi Coast! It’s got to be one of the most picturesque and romantic places in Europe! And Mr. Gandy here is making the landscapes even more eye-catching! Happy Wednesday everyone!

Diane Kruger in Interview

2 September, 2009 Nelia

diane kruger

My favorite quote from Diane Kruger’s interview with Interview Magazine:

“I’ve got to tell you, the reason I stopped modeling was because I wasn’t pleased with trying to portray something that is impossible to reach. Even when I do photo shoots now for films, I’m just not interested in trying to look my best all the time anymore. That pursuit of an impossible perfection seems ridiculous to me now. I’d rather show my vulnerabilities or my doubts than try to be something that no one is.”

“Impossible perfection”…surely something to think about.

SATC2 Style: SJP And The City

1 September, 2009 Nelia

sjp

I don’t care if she’s getting older, don’t care that the first movie didn’t live up to its hype, don’t care if the storyline is going to be tired or forced. Do not care. Because Carrie Bradshaw is awesome. Because I love Sex and the City (always have and always will). And because any chance to see the stylish (thanks to Pat Field) foursome together again (with a dash of Mr. Big, Steve, Stanford and hopefully Aidan) is a chance I would never pass up. The only thing is…Miley Cyrus was filming scenes for the movie. Miley-pole-dancing-annoying-Cyrus! Blasphemy!

I don’t have high expectations for this movie, but I am still waiting with “bated breath”…Remember which episode this line’s from? Oh, memories! What about you? Are you excited about the movie or are you over it?

Wednesday Candy: Gabriel Aubry

26 August, 2009 Nelia

aubry2

This week’s Wednesday Candy is Gabriel Aubry. The guy is undeniably hot (he’s a model after all), but is also a doting father and a (seemingly) loving partner of the equally good-looking Halle Berry. They make such an adorable family, no? Their daughter Nahla is definitely blessed with an amazing gene pool. Lucky girl!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Everyone needs a little something-something to get them through the rest of the week! So here’s a little Will Chalker, just because! Don’t know about you, but I’m feeling much better!
