New Blog

So sorry to my three followers that have been follwing the Sasha Fierece blog. I wanted to let you all know that I've been blogging on a more regular basis on the new group blog that I am apart of called AmericanCurrents. You can check me out a few times a week at www.americancurrents.com. So the coolest part about this blog is that we have people from all over the country talking about the same topic with different points of view and coming from different cities.

It's started a few weeks ago so I'm going to encourage you all to check it out. I'm going to try to make sure that I keep this blog more up to date but if you miss me check me out.

I'm also pasting in my favorite post on the site thus far. It was about the 2009 AMA's a few nights ago. Check it out and let me know how you feel.

ht: Sasha on the American Music Awards


The American Music Awards were on Sunday night and we are still talking about it. Awards shows in American culture are an icon. Countries all around the world try to emulate American awards shows yearly. We do it the best or at least I should say we did it the best....


The AMA's were a large disappointment for me. As a fashionista, the start of the show was an indicator of how the rest of the show was going to be. The red carpet had more "worst dressed" than "best dressed." With the fall runway shows recently coming to an end you would have thought that some celebs were paying a little bit of attention on what was in and out (with my Heidi Klum, Project Runway voice.) When I have to name Selma Gomez (pictured) as best dressed at a major award show it's pretty sad especially when most people my age probably have no idea who the 18 year-old Disney star is it's an interesting night on the red carpet.

Many of you were just as disappointed with the presentation and performances of the awards as I was. Who was the host? I mean I did see Ryan Seacrest at the end of night promoting his next event (Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve) but we needed someone to keep the night flowing and communicating with the live audience and TV audience. Having the presenters just come out to present a mere three nominee's without a transition was awful. Half the time the presenters didn't even know what they were saying and were being cut off by the intro of the nominee reel.


We can not claim the awards were a success when all everyone was talking about on Monday morning by the water cooler was J.Lo's awful outfit and horrible fall (pictured) and Adam Lambert grabbing his dancers crotch on stage, kissing his male band mate, and being censored on the west coast viewing of the awards. Nothing else stood out. The show was pretty bland and disappointing. The European MTV Awards was a thousand times more entertaining than the AMA's a few nights ago. I can certainly say that Beyonce, Kanye and a live Taylor Swift were probably missed and we hope they all attend the Grammy Awards. We certainly know they will at least dress better than the stars last night.
