Turning to fashion for a minute, Bacon Soup was pleasantly surprised to see a very elegant roundup of celebs on people.com in a rich recap called "Oscar's Most Iconic Red Dresses" in which they listed a few of the most beautiful and fashion-forward red frocks to grace the Oscar red carpet.
Though she has her detractors among Bacon Soupers, I have always thought that Nicole Kidman has impeccable posture (some of you may know that poor posture is a pet peeve of mine) and luminous skin which allow her to wear colorful gowns with long, lean silhouettes and make them look fantastic.
The photo of her to the right should bear the caption "Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS is how you wear a red dress." Her posture and poise really accentuate the beautiful lines of this Balenciaga gown.
Kidman is joined in the list by the likes of the lovely and talented Catherine Zeta-Jones (my personal favorite) who is the only celeb to make the list TWICE, both times in Versace. We also see a statuesque Kate Winslet and even surprise appearances by Minnie Driver and Sigourney Weaver.
Sadly, fashion MISTAKE Sandra Oh (whom i detest) also makes the list proving that the right stylist and publicist can make anyone look good. Even her.

You're such a stereotype.
And you love all those statuesque white women but loathe the Korean of more normal proportion? Hmm...
Now I know why you detest me so overtly- my horrible posture!
By the way, fashion is boring and so are you. D-
you're an ass.
I love Nicole Kidman. Think she's absolutely gorgeous. I love how sophiticated, graceful and elegant she is.
She does look stunning in this gown on one hand - but on the other hand, she looks like I could break her in half. Did you see the gowns from this year's SAG awards? I know you don't like America Ferrara so much, but she has slimmed down just a bit and was wearing a gray gown that accentuated her figure.
Oh, and just for the hell of it, could you take my last name off too (in the list of victims)?
Satan is red. Nicole Kidman is the source of all evil. Coincidence? I think not.
And the word verification for this comment was nutsenj
Kidman does look elegant here from the neck down. But look closely at her face --- just plain scary.
Severo, you're getting lazy again.
Yeah, what's up? Are you mad at us or something? It's all in good fun, you know.
Get the fuck off your ass and entertain me. I've posted a couple of posts since then with the express intent of giving you fodder and you've failed to take advantage of it yet. You suck!
I'm going to be really sad if your last blog post ever is Nicole Kidman-centric.
I'm thinking I'm going to leave a new comment every day until you blog again. Or maybe I'll write such a terrible, weepy blog entry of my own that you'll be forced out of what appears to be early retirement to mock me once again.
I agree with loree. We're just gonna keep leaving comments here.
You're making me sad, Severo. You don't want to see me sad. I get weepy.
Dear Severo-
Here are some things about me for you to mock:
I just spent my disposable income on Super Paper Mario for the Wii, both because I love Mario and because I've already beaten Super Mario Galaxy.
I spent a Best Buy gift certificate on TurboTax, because I got really, genuinely giddy about the idea of doing my taxes myself.
Despite being married, I spent Valentine's Day evening updating my day planner and watching a Boston Legal rerun.
I want to start volunteering somewhere because I feel largely like a non-contributing member of society.
That Pedigree commercial with the dog named Echo who can't seem to attract an adoptive family has brought me to tears three times.
I'm considering ways to green my house (you can't give up a chance to mock a tree-hugger).
I think Stevie Nicks is way over-rated.
You could also mock me because I hyphenated "overrated," which clearly shouldn't have a hyphen. Although if I were you, I wouldn't, because you can't spell worth shit.
Are you even still alive? I have no way of knowing.
Just checking in again...
I really hope you're not dead. I was teaching Evan to read through your blog and now he's going to end up illiterate and close minded because of you, you bastard! Tu bastardo.
Seeeeeveeeeerrrrrooooooo??? Where arrrrreeee yoooooooouuuuuuu?
Now I'm thinking this is just a ruse to collect a shit-load of comments on one post.
We should just start a really interesting conversation here and then Severo will feel left out on his own blog. Or, if he actually is checking in on this, he'll feel compelled to break his silence.
So does anyone know where Severo is really from? Yeah, I know the whole Belize story, but has anyone ever been to Belize? Does it even exist? I think Severo is really from Toledo, Ohio and his dad worked the graveyard shift in a car factory. His mom was a bartender/bouncer who chain-smoked Marlboro Reds with the filters torn off.
Refute/agree?
Another day, another wasted minute commenting on Bacon Soup.
I agree with Mickey. And he also has two sisters alright, but they are professional pole-dancers at a place called Jizzy's.
Mickey, I think I already solved the issue of Severo's background. Indiana, remember? It even explains his passion for pork.
Yeah, Jacob, I was thinking this had come up before, but I was hoping for some fresh perspectives. Yours may be the definitive explanation so far, but I feel there is more to discover. I'd like to hear more from Meaghan about those sisters, actually.
I bet Severo's sisters are hot. Unless he's one of those accident kids whose sibling are all a good dozen or more years older than they are. My dad is one of those. His older sister and half brother were almost out of high school when he was born.
Severo's stripper sisters could still be hot at a dozen years older. He's a pretty young dude, right? And there's nothing like the experience of an older woman. They know things.
You know what I just realized? As we approach 30 comments on this, Severo's final post (RIP), we have effectively taken over Bacon Soup. Unfortunately our access remains only this comment thread, but we are the surviving remnant of BS.
Viva!
