Game of Thrones Rant (Spoilers)


So, I recently discovered the magic that is HBO'S series, Game of Thrones. I don't know why I put it off for so long. I think it might be because I like to wait a few seasons, see if a show lasts and then watch a lot of seasons in a row. That's what I did with True Blood and it was awesome. The thing about some of these HBO shows with lots of characters and different locations with different story-lines is that sometimes not that much will happen to a character over the course of the season, so I find that watching a whole season in a row makes it seem like more happens because you're not waiting a week to see what happens. 

Anyway, I am loving this season of Game of Thrones. I love the addition of Natalie Dormer as a more prominent presence (I went wild for her as Anne Boleyn on The Tudors), I love how Daenarys keeps getting stronger and more badass. I'm actually really intrigued by what's going on with Bran and think Osha is a very cool character and like their relationship. I'm also WAY into Lady Brienne and Jaime and love their sort of "unspoken" respect and love for each other. When she was in the bear pit this week and he saved her I totally got choked up. I'm always into Lord Rob Stark, King of the North, who is just so sexy. I wasn't initially into John Snow's story up North, but I like his new ginger girlfriend and think they're cute together. Most of all, I really just want Sansa, Arya and Bran to be reunited with Catelyn and Rob, but it looks like that won't be happening for a while.

I'm very happy with this season, but the one thing that's been really bothering me is the Theon storyline. It finally just became too much for me this week when he was psychologically tortured by whores and then it looks like his peeper cut chopped off at the end of his scene. I have never been into this character and have always resented the amount of screen time he got. This episode particularly pissed me off because HBO thought we needed to be shocked by nudity, and torture rather than actual character development. I mean, Cersei didn't even have a scene this episode and Catelyn has been turned into cranky mother sitting in the corner. I'd even prefer more scenes of Joffrey or even....dare I say...Samwell. I'd rather watch Samwell sing badly to that incest baby than watch Theon. I'm also just not into the actor, never have been. ANYWAY, that is all, would love to hear any thoughts you all have

Shirley is still the best!

So, I don't know if anything could have made me happier than Dame Shirley Bassey performing at the Oscars. Not only did she sound great, but she looked great and she's 76 YEARS OLD!!! UM....She's almost 80!!! I thought Adele and Barbra did a great job at the Oscars, but Shirley stole the show for me. I also LOVE how tickled she is by the standing ovation at the end. She is just a miracle. CONGRATS! THE DAME REIGNS!

Veronica's Best Dressed from the Oscars

Hello, my gorgeous, adoring fans! It's been a while, but I couldn't stop myself from posting about my favorite red carpet fashions. Well, here we go...

Jessica Chastain's hair, makeup, dress and accessories all make up for some not so great red carpet moments she's had this year. The Armani dress is just stunning. The color and the pattern, it's just amazing. Jessica may not have won the award tonight, but she wins my pick for best dressed of the evening.



Some others I loved...Halle Berry looked gorgeous in her stripey dress. She looks amazing. 


Nicole Kidman's dress was wild and crazy, but I kind of love it. 


I bet not everyone loved this...but I don't care. Jane Fonda looks terrific.


Naomi Watts looked like a futuristic goddess in her dress. Her hubby isn't looking so bad either.


Charlize did some gorgeous dancing at the Oscars, she also rocked out the red carpet. I thought this dress was pretty similar to the one that Anne Hathaway wore to the Globes, but actually think Charlize looks better....duh....


Um..CZJ looked incredible in her gold, sequins. She also did some great dancing and lip synching during the award show.


Jennifer Lawrence looked really, really lovely....I just feel like she dressed in preparation to win, which rubbed me the wrong way, but whatever.



Kerry Washington could wear a garbage bag and look gorgeous. I love her Prada dress, but I wish her hair had been different. She's always gorgeous though. 


Reese looked great. The blue is a little much for me, but the styling and overall look is gorgeous and classic. 



Some dresses I didn't like. I hated Anne Hathaway's dress. The back looked slutty and the front was weird to me. Also, the pointy nipples were weird. The necklace also threw me off a little. I think her hair and makeup looking lovely though. 



I normally love Adele's fashion choices, but I am over her not showing any skin at all. She is a gorgeous woman and could stand to wear something with a V-neck...or SOMETHING. Maybe some fabulous, colorful accent jewelry would have brightened this look up? I don't know. 



Didn't like this one either and her hair looked messy.


DON'T DO MESSY HAIR FOR THE OSCARS KRISTEN STEWART! UGH!
