Octavia Spencer had a beautiful gown from Tadashi which was a line that we used to carry. When we opened the store we approached them to buy some of their gowns for the store. In our second year of operation we were approximately 40% of their plus sized sales in the United States.
You see they were just dipping their toe into plus and were using us as a test market. They eventually started selling to Saks and cut us out and said we weren't the right fit for them. Of course Saks has closed their plus sized boutique and only sell on-line now. And we are going to have a TV show. So maybe they might have made a boo boo.
Anyway we were supposed to have a trunk show with them. I didn't expect Mr. Tadashi to show up but I thought the salesman would come with a few samples. But they canceled the day before.
So I got the cook from the Chinese restaurant to fill in.
He didn't speak English either.
It worked out just fine.

Well, I just fell in love again - the character Merida in Pixar's Brave is played by Kelly MacDonald, late of No Country of Old Men.
Please do carry on. Animated love is not seemly.
I love her.
The guy that brought The Help to the movie screen was Octavio's roommate. A big fag, natch.
I want either Meryl or Viola.
Do you know Meryl has been nominated like a zillion times but only won once or twice?
tits.
Angelina Jolie, looks absolutely horrid, a bag of bones.
Tattooed bones, at that. CHEESEBURGER, STAT!
Angelina looks amazing.
Stunning, gorgeous, sexy.
That dress, thank you for showing that leg.
tits.
Titus, you must really hate women.
The most beautiful woman there though is Penelope Cruz.
Wow.
Well now your talking' Titus, Penelope Cruz is a REAL woman, soft , curves, roundness, oozes fertility. Get it?
Glen Close is fucking sexy too.
I loved her in Dangerous Liaisons and that movie where her husband murdered her and Dershowitz represented him.
What was that. Something Fortune.
YES YES, Titus, by George you do have good taste, most times!
Melissa Mccarthy, whom I love, is wearing a horrible dress.
The men there are kinda of ugly though.
Brad Pitt is beautiful, but he needs a haircut.
Clooney is incredibly handsome but not my type.
That's it for handsome men.
Oh the guy from The Artist if fucking fucking hot though.
Yes the wife was just trashing it on twitter. It is by Maria Rinaldi a plus size designer who is just over priced and horrible.
The wife said she should wear jewel tones and lose all the rouging. It is the lines of the dress that make it work.
Clooney is always hot, always my type.
And the color sucks.
Of course you love him Allie...he is a big commie.
Ssssss, burning hot, that makes him even hotter!
Has anyone actually watched The Artist?
I love Meryl Streep.
I don't like the sleeves on Meryl Streep's dress.
Meryl Streep is never a great dresser but I love her even more.
She doesn't seem to really give a shit.
Yes, Glenn Close and Meryl Streep are two of the greatest , so beautiful, yet not your typical beauty.
My sense is Viola Davis is going to win Female Lead.
Meryl stained her dress so they made a new one out of the Oscar curtains.
George, sigh........
I saw the Artist. I liked it. Uggie steals every scene he is in.
My Oscar comments:
Brad Pitt with the Legends of the Fall look. His best. Too bad he is (allegedly) dumb as a box of rocks.
Not Angie's best night. (Hahahahaha!)
Loved the guy that mocked Angie's hand on the hip and leg stuck out pose! It was really awkward turtle when she did it. (She does have nice legs, though)
Was happy about the Muppet song winning. <3 <3 <3 (I went to see this movie, lol)
I have never found George Clooney handsome. He looks slimy to me. Ick.
Love Jason Segel. He loves Muppets! <3
I wish I had Meryl Streep's looks. Timeless.
There are too many hearts in my review. Sorry. I was seepy.
I wonder if these Hollywood Commiefucks have their own private blog and what the comments look like?
That woman in the background of the photo - the one with her legs spread far apart and her toes turned inward and her knees flexed - wht the heck is she supposed to be doing?
At first I thought "Maybe some kind of power-kegel exercise learned at a trendy H'wood exercise spa", but I dunno.
Anyhow, I watched "Act of Valor" yesterday. Stunning movie, brilliantly narrated. I cried at times, serioulsly. I guarantee that it will not receive an Oscar. It's a movie about war that doesn't have Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise or Martin Sheen in it. And it doesn't take a political viewpoint.
Just real warriors.
And as a Sound Guy, what was ABC doing? Did someone string tin cans together for the show audio? Wow. Someone is getting canned for this.
Chuck, As a follow-up to your critique, who did the graphics for the memorial of people who died this past year? I couldn't read the names and the pictures for the most part were washed out.
I'm a real man and don't comment on clothes. The only dresses I care about are on the bedroom floor, I don't want to trip over them on the way to the bathroom.

It's an odd pose. And what's that white thing on the floor that her left pointy shoe is pointing at?
Is that an aspirin?
See? Totally ineffective.
My worst predictions ever. I guessed in ten categories, got ONE right. ("Rango")
I just don't care enough to even think about it very long any more.
The Artist is a movie-lover's movie. Jean Dujardin is transcendent—but I didn't expect him to win.
I didn't watch the show, though. I prefer watching the reactions on Twitter. Same with political debates.
Do you need a hug, Blakesy?
blake: I'd be interested in your take on "Act Of Valor"
@blake: try writing in chemistry sometime if you want to become more fluent in languish.
I agree with Troop's comment about Streep's dress being made from the curtains. Much much too much material. Then you've got Lopez' dress with too little material, too tight, which emphasizes her butt that is plenty there on its own and doesn't need to be emphasized. Is it really that tough to get it right, not too loose and not too tight? For an example of getting it right go take a look at Gwyneth Paltrow's dress. You can google it at the NY Daily News Oscar Dress Review. Simple, elegant, form fitting without clinging, basic white. Yes, she's got a perfect clothes horse body, but the principles can be applied to any size woman.
ricpic--the irony of J-Lo was that comment they gave her to say, given that dress. She obviously did not take that advice (about the dress being loose enough that she is still a lady).
Do I need a hug? I didn't think so.
But if you're offering, I'll take seconds.
The comments have gone funny, btw.
I liked seeing jlo's nip which slipped last night.
tits.
I agree with ricpic WRT G. Paltrow's clothing. Alone, out of all the outfits I saw, did that one look good.
And what the heck has gone on with these comments? Blogger is wigging out.
Oh good, I thought I was just me, so it's Blogger that's bonkers, whew.
Gwenny has like sparrow tits though.
tits.
I believe there should be an award for best tits, supporting tits, tit editing, tit special effects, tit ensemble cast and foreign tits and cartoon tits.
tits.
The comment format must of changed. I didn't do anything.
I believe that Joan Rivers' word is the last word on Oscar fashions.
Therefore, I will defer to her opinions and those of her learned panel.
I added several movies to my Netflix cue last night. Scorcheesi's movie and the Glenn Close tranny movie are not among them.
Glenn Close scares the shit out of me. She plays too realistic of a psycho. I'm glad that Streep won.
We watched "Grumpy Old Men" last weekend and "Grumpier Old Men" this weekend. I forgot how funny those were. I hope one of them won an Oscar for something. Is there an Oscar for having two of the hottest women in the same movie?
Also, a documentary tits category would be helpful.
Many of you may not know this but I am a document film writer.
My writing partner, Gita from Aberzian, and I are in initial rough drafts for our documentary movie.
The title of the movie will be Tits.
It covers every aspect of the tit with and emphasis on it's historical importance and impact on every culture in the world.
tits.
Too bad Gita is not from Rackistan.
Yes, the comments are all down the left side of the page, which is all-white and full-screen.
Gives me vertigo.
Google sucks. Their word verification sucks. Google sucks.
They also want to have your name AND birthday shown with your google account to enable them to advance their social network system that they hope will compete with Facebook.
Since I don't want everyone to know who I am or where I live.....I changed my name from my real one to Marie Antoinette. (It wouldn't take my Marie A birthday however, November 1755....so I had to fudge it.)
