robbed

nothing against the other nominees, but the the ivy must be serving funny mushrooms in that grilled vegetable salad.

how else could such colossal neglect have occurred?

the tom ford gown alone would have been enough to get her on the ballot you buffoons!

best dressed aside; she is, in my opinion, the top girl in her game.

has been ever since her as the world turns days.

{yes, i watched her even then}

never the same lass twice, and never forgettable.

well, my only hope is that since she now has the night of march 25th free; she'll be somewhere else, filming something even more fabulous for me to see next year.

my grown up xmas list

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Much pleasure thou can'st give me

just in case he IS checking his list twice here is what i would be asking for if we lived in that magical world where friends weren't sick, parents didn't fret over bills, animals frolicked freely, a soldier's watch was limited to his sleeping child, and our earth pumped out big gulps of clean, unpolluted air.

alas, this world eludes me. yet. till then, here's my shameless, materialistic christmas list.

a glow facial from christine chin spa

grand? i think so. but tis just a wish list. health, peace of mind, safety, and a better world nix fendi shoes all day long.

have a jolly tuesday!

"a single man"

bated breath.

tom ford's directorial debut: "a single man."

julianne moore can send me into the fetal position without uttering a word. corpse blue, she still manages to outperform her peers. heard colin firth already took home best actor honors in venice. and sorry, if ginnifer goodwin doesn't make you, licking batter out of a bowl, happy; our friendship stops right here.

pre-screenng, i plan to steep in monsieur ford's black orchid till my pores bleed patchouli and vanilla. then i'll saran wrap his 1996 black matte jersey dress (after i hunt one down) over my sandalwood scented body, and pair his 2004 spring/summer palace rhinestone t-straps with said frock.junketing for the l.a.times, captain ford resolves his foray out of fashion and into film down to a simple midlife crisis. "midlife is when you get to the top of the ladder, only to realize you've had the ladder against the wrong wall."  he sees this film as a "personal reaction to the prevalent culture of more, of almost always thinking life will improve with a new job, or a new pair of shoes."i'm on pins and needles to take that small sabbatical from improving my life shoe shopping, and escape into this visual candy land.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eafJ4jvf-sY]
