HITS AND MISSES AT THE EMMYS

Dianna Agron's in there somewhere. We think should could have chosen a better color, shoes, and throw in the shape of the dress while you're at it. Her hair looks nice though.

Katrina Bowden chose a refreshing and flattering color to wear to the Emmy Awards. The layers are simple and pretty, with a strapless top to it that makes the actress look tiny.

"Glee"'s Lea Michele took center stage with this flamboyant Oscar de la Renta dress. She paired it with glitzy, chunky jewelry, but didn't overdo it. The layers were dramatic enough to make her stand out, yet still showed off her curves.

Bleh. What's going on with this black, drab number on Edie Falco? The one shoulder strap was a nice attempt, but there's not much shape to this gown for the "Nurse Jackie" star. We'll pass.

Tina Fey's gown looks like the rug that sits under my mother's coffee table. The pattern is a bit on the obnoxious side, and the color doesn't do much for us. By the look on Tina's face, it looks like she thought so, too.

Julie Bowen's sleek, navy mermaid gown was flattering and although very trendy, still beautiful. She looks comfortable, yet glamourous with just enough jewelry to accent the dress.

Kevin McHale may have looked like an uber nerd in this number, but we're giving him brownie points for going for something other than the typical tuxedo. He embraces the uniqueness of his outfit and looks confident enough to sport it.

Wait, what? We're not sure where this dress begins or ends. Lauren Graham made a nice attempt with her chunky, mismatched jewelry, but with such a great figure we're not sure why she's trying to hide behind it.

To Do List of The Week: Best Events in So Cal

-Farmer's Market Thursday, Sep. 2 9 AM-1 PM

Get healthy this week! Just because summer's over doesn't mean you should start packing on the pounds. Head over to the Farmer's Market at the OC Fair & Event Center for some tasty treats, all grown organically. Farmers will be selling fruits, nuts, and veggies--and it's a certified market! Your stomach (and thighs!) will thank you for it. 

-Pacific Festival Thursday, Sep. 4 11 AM

Costa Mesa is calling your name with it's Pacific Festival's Launch Party. It's too great to last only one day with two days of over 30 best bands performing throughout Triangle Square. A lovely brunch will be served from 11 AM to 2 PM where you can toast to the event and to good company. 

-Flights and Sounds of Summer Dance and Concert Series Friday, Sep. 3 8 PM

Dance your butt off at The Great Park in Orange County with live music, dance lessons, and good eats! It's a fabulous way to spend your Friday night, and will continue playing different genres each week. So don't worry, you'll still be able to dance the flamenco and the polka. 

Saturdays will be even more relaxing with slow music you can sway your hips to. Sashay your way over to Hangar Cafe, where you can eat in a historic Hangar 244. Don't forget the Comedy Corner where local comedians will get you in a good mood before you dance the night away.

-Paper King at The Viper Room Saturday, Sep. 4 

Don't miss out on Southern California's favorite band, Paper King, LIVE at The Viper Room in West Hollywood. Nothing's better than a night out on the town seeing one of the best local bands. Other guests include Imperial Stars, ENFAMUS, Rob Michaels, Casey Cury, and Terry Charles. 

-Sutra's 7th Annual Black Party Sunday, Sep. 5 

Where else can you see Dirty South play at one of the hottest parties of the season? You can't walk in the doors without wearing your best all black attire. It'll go on the next day with the Aggrolites, the Expendables, and the best techno music in Southern California.
