Grammy Grumblings

Special K: You watching the red carpet? I'm soooo bummed we are not there.

Me: No I'm off to hockey, but take notes! You'll have to be the KromStyle correspondent. Sooooo bummed with you!

Special K: Are you serious? I'm so honored I can't stand it. OK now I really have to pay attention.

Me: Pay attention!

A convergence of random events...Special K stood in for me to cover Grammy style in 3D. My commentary is based on photos from the morning after (really should be one word).

Timberlake in Tom Ford

Special K: There are so many wierdos; I don't know who they are... so far JT looked awesome. Killer

My take: the shoes are too casual for a tux, and the occasion. Contradictorily, I don't mind Converse's with a tux. Doesn't make much sense, but this type of loafer belongs on a cool, sporty outfit. The bow tie is a little floppy for me. Or these loafers would go well with Chris Brown's Lanvin suit.

Perry in Gucci

Special K: Damn, Katy Perrry heinous dress.

Me: The jeweled part of Katy's dress is quite pretty, but the cut out is not too classy, and the color, challenging.

Rihanna in Alaia

Special K: OK Rihanna looks disgusting. You can see her pierced nipple through her gauzy gown. Nasty hoochie mama.

Me: Since I can't see the boob violation, the dress looks beautiful on Rihanna. And the hair and makeup look SuperFab.

Jack White

Special K: What are people thinking who have a lot of $ and a stylist and they wear a black suit, black shirt, and black tie??? Let me know when I'm bugging you. Don't want to mess with hockey.

Me: Don't worry. Once I get out there, I won't be responding til you're sound asleep. ♥ the running commentary though

Beyonce in Osman Jumpsuit

Special K: Beyonce in a pantsuit. Not good.

Me: Pants with this silhouette do not flatter her figure.

Me: Keep the commentary coming...

Special K: Skull iPhone emoji

Me: Niiiice!

Special K: Wave iPhone emoji, Surfer iPhone emoji
Special K: Maybe you can tell I like my new phone.

Me: Just a little bit...keep it to the Grammys.

Florence Welch in Givenchy

Special K: Florence (and machine) looks like she's from Eragon and it's Givenchy. I'm shocked.

Me: Back on track...I like it.

Me: I actually love this. Yes it's reptilian, but also very cool. And the color is amaze on her. I want to touch her.


Taylor Swift Performing

Special K: Taylor Swift is channeling Lewis Carroll and she still cannot sing.

Me: Sounds Scary!

Special K: If it were Zonker Harris Day, it would work.

Me: Nice Wes ref.

LL Cool J

Special K: LL Cools looks hot!

Me: Smoking!

John Mayer in Brioni

Special K: OK you might not agree, but I LOVE John Mayer's blue tux.

Me: I LOVE...we agree.

Kelly Rowland in Georges Chakra Couture

Special K: I do not like the fishtail trend.

Me: Me neither. This gown from the knees up totally works.

Frank Ocean in Dior Homme

Special K: Nice suit Frank Ocean.

Me: Agreed. Fresh, clean look.

Adele in Armani

Special K: KromStyle, don't even look at Adele. You will be ill.

Me: It's a shame because she looked so good at the Golden Globes in Burberry. I quite like the shoes with this style dress; however, the dress is so unflattering and unforgiving.

Me: Gotta go; keep it up!

Special K: Have fun!

Me: Thanx

Special K: Prabal Gurung for Target. What are we buying?

16 hours later...

This is what I want.

Special K: I'm soooo sorry. Johnny Depp is smokin' hot

Special K: Rihanna coming up and Jack White. No thanks. Night night. sleeping face emoji
