It's a beautiful, friendly city. I'm sickened and saddened by what happened there yesterday and still trying to understand why anyone would want to be as deliberately hurtful as that.
<br />
<br />
But I'm grateful to know that, as <a href="http://social.entertainment.msn.com/blogs/pop-spy-blog.aspx?feat=e3d6fa83-00cf-4b48-aab4-a2fc94cda7e5" target="_blank">Patton Oswalt pointed out</a>, the good will always outnumber evil. Always.<br />

<br />
Sonnet XVII<br />
By Pablo Neruda<br />
<br />
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,<br /> or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.<br /> I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,<br /> in secret, between the shadow and the soul.<br /><br /> I love you as the plant that never blooms<br /> but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;<br /> thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,<br /> risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.<br /><br /> I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.<br /> I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;<br /> so I love you because I know no other way<br /><br /> than this: where I does not exist, nor you,<br /> so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,<br /> so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.<br />
<br />
Love, We're Going Home Now<br />
By Pablo Neruda<br />
<br />
Love, we're going home now,<br />Where the vines clamber over the trellis:<br />Even before you, the summer will arrive,<br />On its honeysuckle feet, in your bedroom.<br /><br />Our nomadic kisses wandered over all the world:<br />Armenia, dollop of disinterred honey:<br />Ceylon, green dove: and the Yang Tse with its old<br />Old patience, dividing the day from the night.<br /><br />And now, dearest, we return, across the crackling sea<br />Like two blind birds to their wall,<br />To their nest in a distant spring:<br /><br />Because love cannot always fly without resting,<br />Our lives return to the wall, to the rocks of the sea:<br />Our kisses head back home where they belong.Miss Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17394038623047848964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38322651198955847.post-70159018151999936222013-04-05T11:34:00.004-06:002013-04-05T11:34:53.312-06:00BrunoI officially love this song and video.

They think I’m telling lies.
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I say, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
It’s in the reach of my arms,
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The span of my hips, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The stride of my
step, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The curl of my lips. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I’m a woman </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenally. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenal woman, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
That’s me. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I walk into a room </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Just as cool as you
please, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
And to a man, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The fellows stand or </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Fall down on their
knees. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Then they swarm around me,
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
A hive of honey bees. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I say, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
It’s the fire in my
eyes, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
And the flash of my
teeth, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The swing in my
waist, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
And the joy in my
feet. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I’m a woman </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenally.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenal woman, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
That’s me. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Men themselves have
wondered </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
What they see in me. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
They try so much </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
But they can’t touch </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
My inner mystery. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
When I try to show
them, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
They say they still can’t
see. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I say, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
It’s in the arch of my
back, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The sun of my smile, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The ride of my breasts, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The grace of my style. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I’m a woman </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenally. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenal woman, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
That’s me.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Now you understand </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Just why my head’s not
bowed. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I don’t shout or jump about
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Or have to talk real
loud. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
When you see me passing,
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
It ought to make you proud.
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I say, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
It’s in the click of my
heels, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The bend of my hair, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
the palm of my hand, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
The need for my care. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
’Cause I’m a woman </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenally. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Phenomenal woman, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
That’s me.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Still I Rise</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
By Maya Angelou</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
You may write me down in
history</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
With your bitter, twisted
lies, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
You may trod me in the very
dirt </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
But still, like dust, I'll
rise. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Does my sassiness upset you?
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Why are you beset with
gloom? </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
’Cause I walk like I've got
oil wells </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Pumping in my living room.
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Just like moons and like
suns, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
With the certainty of
tides, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Just like hopes springing
high, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Still I'll rise. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Did you want to see me
broken? </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Bowed head and lowered
eyes? </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Shoulders falling down like
teardrops, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Weakened by my soulful cries?
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Does my haughtiness offend
you? </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Don't you take it awful hard
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
’Cause I laugh like I've got
gold mines </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
You may shoot me with your
words, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
You may cut me with your eyes,
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
You may kill me with your
hatefulness, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
But still, like air, I’ll
rise. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Does my sexiness upset you?
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Does it come as a surprise
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
That I dance like I've got
diamonds </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
At the meeting of my thighs?
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Out of the huts of history’s
shame </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I rise </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Up from a past that’s rooted
in pain </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I rise </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I'm a black ocean, leaping and
wide, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Welling and swelling I bear in
the tide. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Leaving behind nights of
terror and fear </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I rise </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Into a daybreak that’s
wondrously clear </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I rise </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
Bringing the gifts that my
ancestors gave, </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I am the dream and the hope of
the slave. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I rise </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I rise </div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
I rise.</div>

Sorry about that.<br />
<br />
And then today, in a completely non-morbid way, I was reminded of my mortality and was inspired to share this.

I just can't keep away. I was tempted to this year with Seth MacFarlane hosting, but I actually think he did a pretty okay job. I can't talk about how upset I am about what's-her-name winning
for Best Supporting Actress, but at least she had on a horrible dress. Plus, "Life of Pi" won a few awards, and that made me so happy!<br />
<br />
But on to the dresses. I know that's why you're here. Those whom I'm disappointed didn't make the list - Selma Hayek, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts - how could you let me down? You had such potential. Oh well.<br />
<br />
First those in no particular order that I liked before we get to the top 3.<br />

I'm not going to lie. I wasn't sure about Ms. Adams's dress at first glance. But it definitely grew on me. The fit is fantastic {which is key with strapless gowns in my opininon}. And I love the detailing on the bodice. I just wish the color was a bit brighter.</div>

One of my repeaters - because she knows how to do it right! I love the white. It just looks so fresh. Plus, the great details of the shoulder beading and the ruffle on the skirt add more interest without making it too fussy.</div>

Why do I like this look? Well, for one, she has sleeves. And two, her dress hints at the time period of her character. I love when people do that. The dress is a great color, age-appropriate, and on-trend with the train.</div>

I'm not necessarily a fan of Ms. Keibler {I know next to nothing about her}, but I really love her dress. She's one of those tall, in-shape women who look great in full-length, clingy dresses. I like the pattern of the beading, the halter top, and the belt. And, her date wasn't too shabby either.</div>

Okay, confession. I don't actually love Ms. Lawrence's dress overall. The top sits in a weird spot, and I don't love the shape. But. I do like the quilting{?} on the fabric and the color. And. I love her. Anyone who trips up the stairs to accept an award and then still delivers a humble, heart-felt speech deserves to be recognized.</div>

Now, time for my top three favorite dresses of the evening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
#3 - Jennifer Hudson</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ms. Hudson appeals to me. I don't know why. I never watched "American Idol" and I never saw "Dreamgirls". Really, I've only ever seen her Weight Watchers commercials. But I usually always love what she's wearing. She's another statuesque lady who looks great in gowns. The beading/pattern {not sure which it is} is different and fun. Also, I personally believe navy is under-utilized on the red carpet. It looks fabulous!</div>

This was another gown that I didn't love right off. But the more I looked at it, the more I fell in love. For one thing, it perfectly complements her complexion and hair. It's hard to tell from this photo, but it has a beaded overlay on top of a copper sheath. Also, I love her hair down and soft. The overall effect is stunning.</div>

Ms. Garner has done well overall this awards season. And right before I saw Ms. Garner, I had see a bunch of bombs. Then she walked on camera - a vision in plum and ruffles and diamonds. I just love all of it. Every single bit. Really. It's beautiful. I just hope she is in something that gets nominated next year so we can have another look at her all dolled up.</div>

Joey is just the cutest.Miss Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17394038623047848964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38322651198955847.post-58175320663308380892013-02-15T13:00:00.000-07:002013-02-15T13:00:05.183-07:00Boy vs ManThe other night I was in the mood to watch a movie. At first I was thinking, "Hmm. A little Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be nice." But as I went to put on "500 Days of Summer" I realized, that no, I was more in the mood for "S.W.A.T." <br />
<br />
And as I was watching Colin Farrell do his hard body work-out on the beach, chase down the bad guys, looking oh so very nice in his cop uniform, I wondered, "Why would I pick Colin over Joseph? Colin is sort of a baddie. He's kind of scruffy sometimes. I like Joseph. He's adorable and cute and lovable." And there was my answer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWPznbC_xySOWd11RxZhnF83pqd8mUBqc_vLDt6LZQFr4K8sA-HYGBCiw9OTy2FXNrHqud8YhZk9O3_99i14DBbEQIo6zEOVpfS2cMcPDDE6792NbSW14gH_WzvPtKYTgemEwEhA8IJ60/s1600/500+days.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWPznbC_xySOWd11RxZhnF83pqd8mUBqc_vLDt6LZQFr4K8sA-HYGBCiw9OTy2FXNrHqud8YhZk9O3_99i14DBbEQIo6zEOVpfS2cMcPDDE6792NbSW14gH_WzvPtKYTgemEwEhA8IJ60/s1600/500+days.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I realized that the older I get, I will always choose a man over a boy. Always. Colin may not be the ideal man, but he is most definitely a man. And while Joseph is cute, he's still in that boy phase. Growing into himself and growing up. I'm done with that. I have officially outgrown the phase of fresh-faced, boy-bandesque youngsters. I want a man. I want a manly, knows his stuff, doesn't take guff, wears a suit without it wearing him, knows what to do with a woman Man {capital m intended}.<br />

I mean, that is the best part of Valentine's Day - having a love story that you love and getting a chance to share it.<br />
<br />
So . . . until I have a love story of my own to share, I'm glad that there are others I can turn to, whether they're real or not, for pure enjoyment.
Here are just a few.<br />
<br />
One that I love is between Knox Overstreet and Chris Noel in "Dead Poets Society". It's a sweet and simple high school love story, but I absolutely adore the earnestness and pure devotion Knox shows towards Chris. And of course, their story is made better by overcoming the tragic conflict they face {prep vs. public school; one is already dating someone - quel horror!}. And I'm sorry, but how can you not just love Knox?<br />
<br />
"The point, Charlie, is that she was thinking about me. I've only met her once, and already she's thinking about me. Damn it. It's gonna happen, guys. I feel it. She is going to be mine."<br />

Another great love story to enjoy is that of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Yes, I love them. And I love their love story. They are one of the rare long-lasting Hollywood marriages, and yet, they are so not Hollywood {if you know what I mean}. I still remember reading a feature article about them in a 1998 issue of InStyle Magazine where one of them said that the best thing you can give your kids is to love your spouse. I love seeing how they love and respect each other and geniunely love being with each other. I happen to follow Mr. Bacon on Twitter, and it's pretty sweet how he gushes over his wife.<br />

I can't not mention the love story between Laura Ingalls and Almanzo Wilder. Growing up I loved watching "Little House on the Prairie" and seeing all the cool adventures Laura had. I pretty much wanted to be her. And then Almanzo showed up, and he was all frontier-sy and handsome and manly {wink wink}. And then they fell in love {after she had aged an appropriate amount, thank heavens} and got married! I wanted to be Laura even more, living with my Manly on our farm with our kids and dogs. Happily ever after.<br />

<br />
The last love story I want to share is a really cool one. These two 19 year-old kids from Idaho met in college, stayed in touch over the years, and finally got their act together and got married. Seven kids later {I'm #6}, and they're still going strong. One of my favorite parts of their love story is when my dad informally asked my mom to marry him. They were dancing {I know, right!} at her house, and he stopped, looked at her, and said, "Marry me." And she said, "Okay. When?" Regardless of what my future holds, this will always be a favorite love story of mine.<br />

Here's my list of favorite gowns {in no particular order} from the Golden Globes 2013.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jennifer Garner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love Ms. Garner. Does Ben realize how lucky he is? The color {which was a popular one} looks fantastic, as do her sculpted shoulders and arms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOYzlPQbNezQlEFcYAtGcr1k5xapnn-Y_N3VykRaKdhyphenhyphenofS-Jdye8qBUHRZtakzWXBrHtP3g9E8sWKNkW1cPoaZGZzZGoCkcrw8NB-z80e3pn5wWL9iTEVQeYhYxJcgL_wx6rdFYhsUs/s1600/J+Garner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOYzlPQbNezQlEFcYAtGcr1k5xapnn-Y_N3VykRaKdhyphenhyphenofS-Jdye8qBUHRZtakzWXBrHtP3g9E8sWKNkW1cPoaZGZzZGoCkcrw8NB-z80e3pn5wWL9iTEVQeYhYxJcgL_wx6rdFYhsUs/s320/J+Garner.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Julianna Margulies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ms. Margulies was very on trend last night in her sheer dress with sparkle. Plus, she shows that a dress with sleeves can be smart, sexy, and sassy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCKkFbTffITpRHIEpggZ26TjFV25spyFgkXlbC2RT3fRyIao-GEgRV949yzXVWlAnJMLdL2DxKmX7NRIqeFI8wX4NKGy4FY6cMcQbC_EAH4DZzj5d-I00lfxAYvODGvVTaOfAAlGtF6dg/s1600/J+Margulies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCKkFbTffITpRHIEpggZ26TjFV25spyFgkXlbC2RT3fRyIao-GEgRV949yzXVWlAnJMLdL2DxKmX7NRIqeFI8wX4NKGy4FY6cMcQbC_EAH4DZzj5d-I00lfxAYvODGvVTaOfAAlGtF6dg/s320/J+Margulies.jpg" width="203" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isla Fisher</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For someone who is only like 5 feet tall, Ms. Fisher does a great job of looking long and lean. This gown is gorgeous, even with its understated hue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihI2-i7FcYtOJh7SUbOLIrkE35vypQAuAPGDM7_-7UMPJv6CFlKABpVlVmXBqrbBbCYaQMGHMhW2NZ9-gn4lsSMDz7KL-OtnCFMPwriXYUDlMl3Aqw9WRF-xu14p9Kyds1hASA9zEYuvw/s1600/I+Fisher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihI2-i7FcYtOJh7SUbOLIrkE35vypQAuAPGDM7_-7UMPJv6CFlKABpVlVmXBqrbBbCYaQMGHMhW2NZ9-gn4lsSMDz7KL-OtnCFMPwriXYUDlMl3Aqw9WRF-xu14p9Kyds1hASA9zEYuvw/s320/I+Fisher.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Julianne Moore</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As my faithful readers know by now, I love the black and white combination when it comes to gowns. Although I don't care for the back of the dress as much as I do the front, Ms. Moore looks stunning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6d8v0oE7P6ydojOLulHQNieN6cR7U7hEguQKdcx3D7Yz0ll3VZoer4tX7W6Uv4YkBWT7zSFzA4cwCQGO-aQPRcc5BM79tXsvG1SzcOugPe7BQ0uVthPSBhwHvHZ56oEEQIej_w9-t1Co/s1600/J+Moore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6d8v0oE7P6ydojOLulHQNieN6cR7U7hEguQKdcx3D7Yz0ll3VZoer4tX7W6Uv4YkBWT7zSFzA4cwCQGO-aQPRcc5BM79tXsvG1SzcOugPe7BQ0uVthPSBhwHvHZ56oEEQIej_w9-t1Co/s320/J+Moore.jpg" width="211" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nicole Kidman</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bet every designer around prays and prays that Ms. Kidman will pick one of their gowns at award season. How can you look bad at 6 feet tall and a size 2? She looks fabulous in this black column with interesting beading at the neck. Let's pretend the sheer midsection isn't sheer, though, shall we?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRgmVYSh3A3A0K83Cy8zr1WC0KY5pCGNkTmzHZ_hjtu2tXTm-pS0A6OxWttrdWRXgd_udIfgptBPUiWuRPexhKEJHOK1tLJ1S1zdv-p_TraGN1EGtyN7_5hYJE_xTnGMdj8Zsjy6tSQM/s1600/N+Kidman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRgmVYSh3A3A0K83Cy8zr1WC0KY5pCGNkTmzHZ_hjtu2tXTm-pS0A6OxWttrdWRXgd_udIfgptBPUiWuRPexhKEJHOK1tLJ1S1zdv-p_TraGN1EGtyN7_5hYJE_xTnGMdj8Zsjy6tSQM/s320/N+Kidman.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naomi Watts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite for the Oscar for Best Actress is getting ready for the big show. Ms. Watts makes her wine-colored gown look as amazing as her performance in "The Impossible." I love the simplicity of the dress. That's what quality fabric can do for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcSjW4gUJxZhq8-7LPVvvDEpvzqk0mXzVmQFwTyyIhyphenhyphend9rslz23uG1yQX4gljimFBWpKuo_Anx6JI1ZXcn_sY6Ww5ellf6KKxISW_0GaXtjXYp2-gDCH5tc6BfKkFNch8TzH0tZKozdE/s1600/N+Watts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcSjW4gUJxZhq8-7LPVvvDEpvzqk0mXzVmQFwTyyIhyphenhyphend9rslz23uG1yQX4gljimFBWpKuo_Anx6JI1ZXcn_sY6Ww5ellf6KKxISW_0GaXtjXYp2-gDCH5tc6BfKkFNch8TzH0tZKozdE/s320/N+Watts.jpg" width="220" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Michelle Dockery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hands-down favorite of the night was Ms. Dockery. She took a risk, and while many won't like it, I think she looks like a Greek goddess. I love the contract of the complex gold lace, structured top with the flowy skirt. Well done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaP4aWjjWe54TnC3jX5xmmnzO4867jEZaePL6lkv43WJImbEAa0bhboAXG-gjD_bqEg1wBDGrIlL0J9U8ArEMt2v4mMRaZ6wYdwCJ2t0Gs5gcxwPSnP_6MiqC1Zvpco-PnHeZZgIzL98/s1600/M+Dockery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaP4aWjjWe54TnC3jX5xmmnzO4867jEZaePL6lkv43WJImbEAa0bhboAXG-gjD_bqEg1wBDGrIlL0J9U8ArEMt2v4mMRaZ6wYdwCJ2t0Gs5gcxwPSnP_6MiqC1Zvpco-PnHeZZgIzL98/s320/M+Dockery.jpg" width="211" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dame Helen Mirren</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And keeping it classy as always, Ms. Mirren. Keep it up. I can't wait for her next look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hugh Jackman</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lest we forget the men of the evening, a winner in performance and style, Mr. Jackman.</div>
