Balmain at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party
LILY ALDRIDGE and TRACEE ELLIS ROSS at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars Party on March 12th 2023 wearing BALMAIN
Balmain easily had the coolest looks of any designer at this event. Both looks just feel like art. There’s so much drama, especially with Tracee’s look. Both looks are fabulous.
The design of Lily’s look is just so impressive. The draping of the fabric looks so cool. I love the asymmetric neckline. She just looks so cool. No one else wore anything like this dress.
Tracee’s look was also impressive. I’m not a fan of hats on red carpets, but she’s working the look and it really compliments the top and bottom. I just absolutely love the pants and top. The materials used and the silhouette they create are just so cool. A super interesting and unexpected look.

I'm With Her - Chapter 2
Or, the 2nd time Sharon 'saved' Brenda
Chapter 2: Rainbow
Another day, another case wrapped, another shithead off the streets. It had been a good day, all things considered, and Brenda slid open her desk drawer to reward herself. She was just about to rip open the pack of Reese’s Pieces when a sharp knock on the door reminded her of the other, less successful part of her day. “Come in,” she called out, unnecessarily since Captain Raydor was already sticking her head through the doorway. Oooh! That woman!
Brenda plastered a big smile on her face and stood to greet her. Their power dynamic was such that she needed every inch of her diminutive stature to remind her who exactly was in charge. “What can I do for you Cap’n?”
“I just wanted to let you know that I’ve finished my report and as long as no one in your division shoots anyone, I should be out of your hair for a while,” Sharon said, handing over the thin folder. Brenda shivered involuntarily as the other woman’s serene voice washed over her. It would be easy to get lost in that voice, if she let herself. But she wouldn’t.
“Well isn’t that just the best news?” Brenda drawled through her stiff smile as she tossed the file onto the desk. “Pope come out ok?”
“I never said I was doing a background check on Pope, Chief,” Sharon said with an amused smile.
Brenda fumbled for her glasses and picked up the file again. Apparently, one of her officers was in trouble and she hadn’t even known it. Hopefully it wasn’t her. But nothing could have prepared her for what she saw when she began to skim the first page. “What is this?” she asked as she sunk back into her chair, temporarily too much in shock to be concerned with power dynamics. Luckily, Sharon took this as a cue to sit as well, prim and proper with her legs crossed at the knee and her hands placed just so in her lap; a stark contrast to the rather haphazard way that Brenda had plopped herself down, hunched over so that her nose was only inches from the file she was reading.
“It’s an application for Chief of Police,” Sharon explained needlessly. “As the LAPD’s Women’s Coordinator, I am on the search committee and we feel it is important for there to be a strong, female candidate for the job.”
Brenda peered at the older woman over the rims of her glasses. “And that’s s’posed to be me?” she asked skeptically.
“Yes, Chief. That’s supposed to be you,” Sharon confirmed with a sigh.
“I see it’s already filled out,” Brenda observed, blindly reaching for her abandoned bag of candy and opening it with her teeth as she continued to read.
Sharon gave a tight smile that even reached her eyes a little bit. “I wanted to make it as easy as possible. All it needs is your signature.”
“Mmhmm,” Brenda replied through a mouthful of candy. She popped a few more into her mouth and caught a glimpse of Sharon watching her and she suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze. Which was odd because she had barely paid attention to the captain while she followed her around all week. “You, uh, you want some?” she offered, waving the bag of candy in Sharon’s direction.

TRACEE ELLIS ROSS at the D23 Expo on September 9th 2022 wearing SPORTMAX
Tracee was made a Disney Legend, and I absolutely loved her outfit. I loved the braided ponytail, I thought it was a great choice to show off the sleeves of the dress. This dress was just stunning. I thought all the gemstones made the dress have so much dimension. I love how, while the dress is peach, the gems cause it to look like a multitude of colors. It looks yellow and blue and purple. I just thought Tracee looked absolutely fabulous.
