I try not to air out my sick obsession with pop culture on this blog all that often - that being said, I honestly could not help myself when I first viewed these shots of Kim Kardash at this weekend's Video Music Awards.  My first thought was: overlooking Spanx was a pretty unforgivable technical error.  My second thought was: wait a second... who styled her?  Even with Spanx this outfit would still look a hot mess!  I usually praise everything Kim wears from the ground up (when her mouth is shut, that is), but this is awful, just... really... awful.  RIP Kim's untouchable fashion sense.

On a more positive note, I don't care how great of a hot mess Brit is currently, this tribute dance is EPIC and embodies the saga of a pretty phenomenal career.  Can't deny it, I really love her.
