You caught me: I had my nose pressed against the window. Again. January 25, 2009 16:57
It's Sunday night. An awards show was on. Can
you guess where I was? Can you guess what I was doing? You can. I know it.
There are no flies on you. You can put 2 and 2 together and come up with the
proper sum.
So. You've been waiting for this, haven't you? Holding your breath, right? Tell me you were. Tell me you watched, too. Promise you'll share your opinions. Please. Even if you — sigh — disagree. Even if you think I'm full of it.
But. Enough meandering. Give me a drum roll, please. Something worthy of Gene Krupa. There you go. I like that.
Now. My favorites at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, in no particular order:
Kate Winslet's cobalt Narciso Rodriguez gown is aces with me. He's redeemed himself for that dreadful explosion that Michelle Obama wore on election night with this curve worshipper. Love it. Truly.
And Laura Linney can toss this coral Michael Kors my way when she's done with it. Love it. Absolutely. From the luscious color to the one-shouldered bodice. This is the dress from which dream evenings are made. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Ditto for Eva Longoria's peachy froth of a
gown. Adore the color. Adore its Ginger Rogers-ness. All Eva needs is Fred
Astaire. This cupcake of a dress was designed by Jenny Packham. I know there are those who will quibble at this choice, who will find fault with the peplum, who will insist this dress is so darn sweet it could frost a cake. But. I have a weakness for frosting. Just don't skimp on the butter.
And. Speaking of food. I did take time off from glamour gazing to be a domestic goddess. (Yes, I know Martha would be appalled by the clutter on my countertops and the newspapers stacked on one end of the kitchen table. But, really, there's no need for her to know. Is there? Lips zipped and all that.) I baked pizza. I made the dough from scratch. Piled it high with grape tomatoes, yellow peppers, red onions. So tasty. So pretty. So healthy. And. For extra points on the DG test, I served the pizza with a salad of Arizona lettuces and lemon zest vinaigrette. Yum bunnies.
