Oh the Oscars-an effort in futility

What a sh*t show of mediocrity. The best dressed wasn't any of the stars, nope, it was Dustin Hoffman's wife, Lisa. http://www.justjared.com/2013/02/24/dustin-lisa-hoffman-oscars-2013-red-carpet/

The most horrifying was that little girl with the long name whose friend for the evening seemed to be a taxidermied cat purse, that cat looked like the phucking cat from Pet Cemetery.http://www.eonline.com/photos/7974/2013-oscars-arrivals/262299 

Amanda Seyfried finally realized that the world will keep spinning if she puts her hair up. http://www.eonline.com/photos/7974/2013-oscars-arrivals/262330 

Jessica Chastain with her beautiful skin shouldn't wear flesh colors http://www.eonline.com/photos/7974/2013-oscars-arrivals/262261and when will she realize and or admit that Ron Howard is her Pappa (allegedly)?

Jennifer Aniston's mane(punny) feature looked really awful, overly processed on her scalp, brittle and really pretty uninspired her dress was red, I don't get why wear a red dress on a red carpet and her whateverheisidon'treallycareatall look similarly pooh like but just head to tip toe he looks better with his shirt off, 

Speaking of toes, why were Bradley Cooper's pant legs so short?http://www.eonline.com/photos/7974/2013-oscars-arrivals/262592 

Was the most adorable Joe G. Levitt wearing a really ugly denim tuxedo, it couldn't have been denim, could it?  http://www.eonline.com/photos/7974/2013-oscars-arrivals/262331(can there ever be a good one? Dumb dumb JT proved that it wasn't possible even standing next to 90's Brit Brit and JGL is actually talented and sexy). 
I'm a sucker for Amy Adam's Carrie Bradshaw in Paris dress http://www.eonline.com/photos/7974/2013-oscars-arrivals/262271

Did anyone else immediately picture this http://we-vibe.com/we-vibe-3 when they saw the Oscar statue doodle in the backdrop?

Is there a Collective Noun for Octopus?

There is: a Murder of Crows, Charm of Finches and a Smack of Jellyfish, but none to be found for Octopus...very peculiar.

I find them to be endlessly fascinating because of their intelligence, grace, elusiveness but what it was originally that caught my fancy was that I read that they collect shiny treasures from the ocean floor and use them to decorate their caves. This is how The Beatles, Octopus's Garden was penned. Apparently, when Ringo Starr heard that they spend their days collecting shiny objects at the bottom of the sea, he allegedly said it was one of the happiest things he had ever heard, which in turn was the impetus for the song http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/octopuss-garden/.
Some quick facts and figures

Here is a list of my favourite octopuses treasures from Etsy's garden and beyond:

To keep this in the spirit of beauty etc. I just found this and had no idea that this was even a thing. I am usually not one for extra schtuff on nails, don't even get me started on white trash French mani's and even grosser, pedi's...

I am getting this set!




This is my absolute favourite but they used an actual octopus so I just can't....

or


I have coveted forever and apparently that was too long bc there are no more iPhone 4 cases left, boo!


This is a steal and shall soon be mine all mine!
