So that’s why they call it the Golden Globes!

Ok- I can’t resist making a comment about the attire at the Golden Globe awards last night. I admit to being somewhat of an awards ceremony addict (any night I can curl up on the couch with a Bloomacious Belini is a night to look forward to). This year the fashion was a bit strange for me-it was as if the AFPA issued a memo saying “We suggest you wear a strapless, belted frock-but if that doesn’t suit you, wear something devoid of color.” Yuck!

There were of course a few notable exceptions. For me, Drew Barrymore was the belle of the ball (despite Christina Applegate’s nod to Beauty and the Beast, with her butter yellow frock). I think that Drew should be awarded the Most Improved Overall Look award-given last years appearance. While I loved the green color she wore in 2007 (2008 awards were cancelled due to the writer's strike), the fit was atrocious-and I am glad she has returned to the land of the blonde!
