It was a predictably eventful evening in LA this past Sunday at the 96th Academy Awards, hosted at the Dolby Theater.
Among the stand-out moments were John Cena’s naked walk across the stage to present the award for Best Costume Design and Al Pacino’s decision to skip over the nominations for Best Film altogether, instead going straight to announcing the winner.
There were also plenty of talking points to be gleaned from the red carpet, not least relating to the plethora of eye-catching outfits on show. As per reports, actress Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos were among those to steal the show, with the former causing a particular stir on social media.
Celebrities dominating headlines for their choice of garment for any particular awards ceremony is nothing new.
Yet in the age of social media, where live photos from the red carpet can be shаrеd around the world at the click of a button, it’s become arguably more popular than ever to discuss and debate outfits in real time.
As such, it’s only natural to expect that an event of the magnitude of the Oscars, and those fortunate enough to be in attendance, is always going to be heavily scrutinized.
Among those who found their fashion choices dissected online this year was Kelly Ripa, who uploaded her outfit – a dazzling black, see-through gown – to Instagram along with the caption: “Mom and dad storming the red carpet.”
There, it was met with a wave of appreciation from her legion of fans.
“You both look amazing. BUT that dress is stunning ,” one person wrote.
“Beautiful gown. Beautiful couple,” another added.
“Kelly, your hair, the dress… you look gorgeous,” a third said.
Of course, it wasn’t all compliments. There were those who questioned Ripa’s decision to don the dress.
“I love you Kelly but not this dress,” one detractor wrote.
Another added: “Unlikе Mark not to have a perfectly tailored suit or tux on. His clothes are usually impeccable.“
A third wrote: “Kelly wear some bike shorts. You are lowering your self in the see through dress. You’re better than that!“
“She doesn’t even look likе the same person anymore ” a fourth opined.
I don’t know about you, but I think Kelly and Mark looked fantastic at the Oscars! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
The ‘Mom Of Boys’ Guide To Getting That Gross Smell Out Of Your Bathroom
As one of three boys, I can only image the ordeals my husband’s brothers inflicted on their poor mother as they grew up. You don’t need me to tell you that boys are typically a little messier and wilder than tiny girls if you are a parent of boys. This kind of reasoning also certainly applies to a guys’ bathroom, particularly during potty training.
A little boy’s poop doesn’t always end up in the toilet, as you already know if you’ve potty trained him or are potty training him. And that’s just when this mom’s ingenious trick comes in handy. Three little boys use Priscilla Raquel Lloyd’s restroom, so she took to Facebook to offer her trick for getting rid of the odor. You will want to hear about it if you are a parent of a boy!
According to Priscilla, urine odors can be eliminated from your bathroom floor and the area surrounding the toilet by using traditional cheapo shaving cream. She continued by saying that even though she always disinfects the area by using a cleaner with a bleach base, the stale stench still remains because she is a mother of three sons who are potty training. For this reason, they periodically slap on some shaving cream to get rid of the odor of stale pee.
This trick looks like it’s definitely worth a try if you’re toilet training and scared your restroom won’t smell the same after. I appreciate you sharing, Priscilla!
