Is anyone else dying for the Hunger Games movie to come out?! Well, this will hopefully tide you over. This blog is dedicated to Capitol Couture, complete with cover stories, profiles and fashion guides to what the Capitol people are wearing. Amazing! Already we know that Effie Trinket, played by Elizabeth Banks, will be wearing 24-carat Steve McQueen peep-toes. EEP!
From what I’ve seen of the costumes in the movie, they hired a phenomenal costume designer.
It looks like a new site, amping up the release of the movie, so we’ll have to check back frequently to see what else is chic in the Capitol.
Can March 23rd come ANY SOONER?! BAHHHH!!!!
Also, visit District 1 here. This is seriously the best internet interaction for a movie I’ve ever seen. YES.
Tis the season, bitches. That’s right: Girl Scout Cookies will be melting in our mouths in a little over two weeks. You can even enter your zip code for the nearest Girl Scout council in your area. This is one fine American tradition, folks.
These cookies make over $700 million every year. That's a lot of awesome cookies. Photo via school.salescrunch.com
What’s your favorite cookie?! It’ almost too cruel to choose.
I am a total Academy Awards slut. I LOVE the show. The outfits, the epicness of the whole night and watching actors win (and lose gracefully as they practiced in the mirror with their publicist) is highly entertaining. Can you believe this is Meryl Streep’s 17th nomination?! She is the fucking queen of cinema and acting. Amazing. Phenomenal. Best of all time.
I also have to admit that I’m a huge loser as I have only seen one of the best picture nominations, Midnight in Paris. Don’t worry, I’m judging myself too for not seeing “The Help” yet. I’m pretty much the worst person alive.

I’m SO happy for Brad Pitt. He deserves some recognition. I’m pretty sure Jean Dujardin is gonna win though. And Clooney! Who doesn’ love a Clooney nomination?! Jonah Hill and Melissa McCarthy are awesome nominations as well, just because I like them so much.
I really hope either Midnight in Paris or Bridesmaids wins for Best Original Screenplay. They were both amazing a refreshing films. Hollywood needs to stop being so lame about threequels and fourquels and invest in some great writing talent!
I put a star next to the person/movie/costume I’d like to win just because. Some I just can’t decide, so there are two… or three stars. Because choosing between favorites is just plain cruel.
And the nominees are…

Alexa Chung was a recent guest on Chelsea Lately, promoting her new show ’24 hour Catwalk’. Ross Mathews, who is doing a great job of host-replacement btw, revealed that Alexa Chung is on the prowl. She jokingly admitted to accepting dates over Twitter. Oh boy.
The stylish Chung, and former MTV host (I liked ‘It’s On’, damn you MTV!) used to date Arctic Monkeys front man Alex Turner. But they broke up in July 2011. Whatevs, frontmen seem like a lot of work anyways. Divas!
This tweet, surely to be one of many, is a charming peek into the world of dating through the internet:
How wonderful! Dating rocks.

Chung’s new show, 24 Hour Catwalk, looks interesting. I don’t normally watch reality or competition shows, but I might actually give this one a try. The contestants have 24 hours to make weird shit look fashionable. It sounds exactly like poor, 20 somethings digging through years of fashion mistakes, trying to make something look chic.
Check out obsessive Alexa Chung fashion photos here.
Chelsea is on fire
By the by, Chelsea Handler is blowing the fuck up. Chelsea Lately and After Chelsea on E! are getting better and better. After Chelsea is getting some sick cameos like Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Jane Fonda. Plus her show on NBC ‘Are You There, Chelsea?‘ is doing okay I think. I haven’t checked it out yet.
AND Chelsea is in a new movie with Reese Witherspoon called “This Means War” that looks promising. Two hot spies are fighting over Reese Witherspoon, blowing shit up and lots of kissing. That’s like my dream. Jealz!
Anonymous is ominous. They are declaring a war between Anonymous, the people and the government over SOPA and PIPA type laws. They are planning to take down Facebook this Saturday, Jan 28. In their latest video, they warn:
Government of the United States, leaders of the new world order, you have been warned. Operation Global Blackout part 2, Facebook, engaged. We are Anonymous, we are legion. We do not forgive, we do not forget. They should have expected us.
It will be interesting to see if they succeed in taking down Facebook, or at least a portion of the 600,000+ servers. Plus, taking Facebook down on a Saturday when people have nothing to do will certainly make a statement. (and force people to do something else besides look at pictures of other people’s dogs and shit)
What do you think about Anonymous? Or the government trying to control the internet?
