(okay she looks a little cukoo pants but....i'd rather see 100 of these than 100 badly dressed starlets!)

here is proof that there should be a limit on the starlets allowed at the gala. aren't these people infinitely more interesting??  i'd rather see a bunch of crazies dressed insanely (and chic) than badly styled starlets wearing things that not only look awful on them but say absolutely nothing about them. stop the madness.
