Golden Globes: more frocks than shocks
The Golden Globes took place last night, though I couldn’t find any way to watch them from the UK so I just critiqued the dresses online instead, and as it’s now 2020 I’m simply going to assume that every single one had pockets. It was therefore vaguely exciting waking up this morning to find out who… Golden Globes: more frocks than shocks Read More
I’m voting! (Not for you, Boris)
*** UPDATE: THE WFCC WINNERS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED – CHECK THEM OUT BELOW *** Is it better to give than to receive at this time of year? Well I’m certainly enjoying it.

Overall I’m very happy with the Oscars results, though I’d have preferred Margot Robbie for Best Actress, Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor, Willem Dafoe for Best Supporting Actor, Get Out for Best Film, & Nolan for Best Director. So I guess what I’m saying is, Well done Allison Janney! But don’t worry about me, I’m still… Dressing Up & Dressing Downs – The 2018 Oscars Read More
Pushing The Envelope At The Oscars 2017
