QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Best of the Worst

Whenever the Best and Worst Dressed lists come out, usually the dresses I like best make it on the Worst lists. Cause I like the ones that take chances, or do something we haven't seen a hundred times before. 

Here are some Golden Globers who made the Worst lists, but I liked:

I love this in part because you don't usually get this sort of romantic look on the red carpet--everyone goes for "Hollywood Glam" (aka they all look alike.) But also...

it reminded me of Marion Ravenwood's dress in Raiders of the Lost Ark!

 This one made some Worst and some Best lists. That scrollwork is so unusual, but the overall effect is pretty too. Must be stunning in real life.

Something about the combo of high ruched neckline, and the seam down the middle, and the color and material, and the understated train, makes this really eye-catching. And a backdrop to her beauty.

This was on some Best, some Worst lists.

This is the standout--it was on tons of Worst Dressed lists. Oh my days. We've seen lots of dresses with this sort of cut and bunching up, but that ink-in-water effect... it's so beautiful!


 And these are just some other outfits I liked:

 Look at the crepe-ee folds of that train.

Of course, one doesn't approve of feathers. But the mix of scales and feathers, in peacock green, is striking.

You don't see a lot of necklaces like this. Great pairing with the white-person-nude dress.

Tilda usually makes all the Worst lists, but this year she made some Bests. I think the color is what makes this so unusual.
 

And the boys...

I'm not in lurv with this, but I enjoy seeing something other than black.

Almost what Doctor Who would wear to the Golden Globes.

He's got sparkly sneakers!
