It’s why they think human aging and the planets unpredictable weather are terrible things that need to have something done about them.

It’s very sad when women have to fit into that image. Let’s see real women with curves!!

I saw a brief interview with Renee Zellweger and it struck me that she has had so much “work done” that I barely recognized her.

I had the same reaction to michelle’s appearance to present best picture. Didn’t really surprise me, but did they have to parade the military behind her? Why? my husband’s theory was that she might have been tapped to participate because Lincoln was expected to win. If that played a role, I have to chuckle that she had to announce Argo as the winner instead. Heh.

Finally, with the film Amour getting so much fawning attention (considering its revolting subject matter) I thought the following article was interesting. Apparently the plot (husband murders very ill elderly wife) is nearly identical to a Nazi film:

Jennifer Garner’s 2.5 million platinum and diamond set comes immediately to mind: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/fashion/lat-la-ig-jewelry-garner-wre0008399412-20130224,0,3695481.photo?track=rss

I guess if you can’t manage to score that kind of bling, then why bother with jewelry on the red carpet at all?

It’s a race to see how much can be flaunted. Nothing new there, really, but it does get a little more brazen over time.

We usually avoid Hollywood stuff, but we wanted to see how Argo did. It was a good way to waste a few hours on a Sunday night. But when Mrs. “Proud of my country for the first time” made a surprise appearance, I had to hit the mute button.

Regarding the dresses, there seemed an overabundance of strapless gowns. In some cases, I was wondering how the dresses managed to defy gravity and stay up. Some of the strapless affairs seems just a bit too big on top, creating an air pocket between the dress and the occupant. My wife commented that women in strapless gowns are always tugging them up. The woman who won best actress tugged at hers just before tripping up the stairs.

I’m not usually interested fashion, as a quick peek in my closet will prove, but there’s something very beautiful about a woman in a formal gown.

I recall reading that Jennifer Anniston maintains her figure by spending most of her day doing yoga. Great job if you can get it, but a sad commentary on what it takes to be an “ideal beauty” in Hollywood.
