Golden Globes

Did anyone watch the Golden Globes last night? I started, but quickly realized I knew none of the movies (except Toy Story 3--and yes, I cried), so really, there was no point in watching. I was glad to hear the Jane Lynch won for Glee--she does such a great job in that role, but on the whole I'm not all that crazy about Glee this year--my kids still love it, however, so maybe I'm just (gasp) old.

I do love, however, the red carpet. The little girl in me comes alive at the gowns (does anyone care what the men are wearing?). I love the glitz and the glam, the jewels, the updos. The best-dressed, and the what-in-the-world-was-she-thinking outfits. I'm not going to name names, but there are some (and I'm sure they know who they are by now) that should have consulted a mirror before they left the house last night. Oy. Not that I could do much better on my own, but if I had that kind of money, I'd be hiring someone to help me out--and be honest about how I look. 

But then again, being worst-dressed certainly gets an actress lots of press... Maybe certain outfits are on purpose... Hmmm.

PS: Lucy Valentine is blogging today at Killer Characters about lost pets. Since she's uh, lost a couple recently.

PPS: A Cinderella Plan, A Hoe Lot of Trouble, and Sweet Dreams are now available on Kindle! Look for links on the left (just click the pics). Coming soon on Nook!

  2. The first thing I do is turn to E! and watch the 2-hour red carpet show. I love spotting my favorite celebrity and then wonder, like you said, who in the world dressed you.

    Did you see the dress Helen Boheman Carter was wearing and the shoes? I was like what closet did she shop in.

  3. Shoulder pads! Yech. I sometimes think that some actresses have a bad case of the Emperor's New Clothes and have an entourage of stunned yes people saying 'darling you look wonderful'. I watched it while I was cooking, cleaning etc. Doesn't really merit full attention because I haven't heard of most of the shows/movies either. Love that the young man from Glee won as did Jim Parsons from Big Bang.

  4. The Nook is being SO SLOW! Hopefully the stories be up soon. Like tomorrow. :)

    Dru, amen.

    Gaylin, the yes-men for those bad dressers need to be fired! Yikes.

  5. Lost pets?! Oh, boy. I just read Truly Madly and am a bit worried for Grendel. And Odysseus!

    Love your blog, Heather. Very positive!

  6. I didn't watch it, but I did scroll through the photos of the stars to see what their dresses were like. (And no, I'm not all that interested in what the men are wearing). But, I love the outrageous outfits.....I think we need a lot more Cher outfits because in more recent years there have not been too many outrageous ones. But there certainly were some ugly dresses last night.
