Testing mobile Tumblr… Testing testing… Oh and this is my 60’s Vogue mirror. Ain’t she beautiful.

Ulyana Sergeenko. Wow-zers.

I’ve always wanted to pass hoity-toity judgement on people a lot more beautiful than me, floating upon a red carpet I’ll never have the grace or good fortune to trudge down like a stomping kid in their big brother’s wellies.

And thanks to the joyous wonders of the internetz, I can! 

Yes, these days everybody can turn fashion blogger. Even you. And more importantly, even me.

So. From the comfort of my sofa, where I sit donning the latest in coveted high-street leisurewear, I invite you, my most loyal readers, to THE OSCARS. Here on these humble webpages I bring you: KATIE KHAN’S ROUND-UP OF THE ACADEMY AWARDS COUTURE DRESSES, ‘N’ THAT.

I’m rather fond of those body language features in magazines where they bring in a ‘body language psychologist’ who spouts, frankly, a pile of cobblers. (“Tom and Katie in not hugging shocker!” Nothing to do with height difference on a pavement full of paps, of course.) Thus in honour of this fine editorial tradition, I’ve taken the liberty of commissioning a fantastic* up-and-coming** clothing psychologist*** (this may be a made up job description) (the rest is **me) to reveal THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND RED CARPET DRESSES.

Oooh!

7) PENELOPE CRUZ.
WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT PENELOPE CRUZ: The man I am with is so ruddy sexy my polyester dress just caught fire around ze crotch area

DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH:

And there we have it: my first foray into fashion blogging. I probably won’t take photos of myself in my garden modelling an outfit fashioned entirely from Topshop vouchers, ripped tights and haberdashery ribbon, if you don’t mind; I’ll happily leave that to the experts. But whether you’re a kamikaze style blogger or a glamorous celebrity on the red carpet, it’s true that what you wear shouts something about you - so it’s probably best to keep an eye on what you’re shouting. (The fantastic* up-and-coming** clothes psychologists*** say so.)

Old photographs absolutely fascinate me. I can look at them for hours. And hours. And hours…
