thank you for styling.

now i may be a geek, to that i will testify but i am also a fashion icon in the making. (i will be the hottest musicology professor you will ever see) and since i've had my geeky posts on here, i figure i better balance out the scales. and what better way to do it than with the fashion from the golden globes.

let's get something straight here. i don't watch awards shows. why? because there are no awards for what i do. and i want shiny things. and to get dressed up. and it does nothing for my ego to see other people look all fancy, get things for free and get wasted on television.

but i do watch preshows because i have to see what everyone is wearing, see if i'm up with the times (or ahead as i sometimes am, living in new york city) and to see giant fashion disasters. so the golden globes...


helen mirren. my god, i have the biggest girl crush on her EVER. and she looked so amazing. i mean definitely not looking like anyone's grandma that i know. she was looking hot. and good for her on both of her wins (hbo's elizabeth I is captivating, i have watched it like a billion times, she is amazing and jeremy irons is so fine)



reese witherspoon, singleness becomes you (i understand that, girl). she lit up the red carpet with her straightened, breezy hair and yellow nina ricci gown. outstanding.

penelope cruz. i have nothing to say. if i could be salma hayek, i would and would propogate all sorts of rumors about us being lovers. this dress is beautiful and she never fails to astound. (that's right, chanel couture)

now all i'm hoping for is that someone, i don't know, like my boyfriend, will give me an opportunity to dress up and feel pretty. i mean, i act like a nerd all the time.
