It's Oscar Night!

It's Oscar night and you know what that means... the red carpet and fabulous dresses. Here is a slide show of the all time best 50 Oscar dresses.

Iconic Bathing Suits

I'm not quite ready to be thinking of bathing suit shopping. (Actually I am never ready to think of bathing suit shopping.) However, InStyle Magazine has a slide show of some of the best iconic bathing suits of years past.

Marilyn Monroe's Iconic Hairstyle

Since I was a little girl there was a party of me that wanted to be blond with wavy soft girls. (Instead I was brunette with a thick straight pony tail.)

I guess I wasn't alone as so many women from Madonna to Gwen Stefani have worn the same style. I wonder... is it too late to go blond?

Wish I had the shoulders and arms (and waist and hips and neck) to wear this Dior outfit. I love the 50s retro feel. I'm not totally sure I like the pops of red...what do you think?

For more "best dressed" celebrities from this week go to Harper's Bazaar.

Ellen Burstyn Stars on Political Animal

In “Political Animals,” the USA Network series event, Ellen Burstyn stars as Margaret Barrish, part of a Clinton-esque political clan. A straight-shooting, one-time Vegas showgirl, Margaret is the mother of Elaine Barrish Hammond (Sigourney Weaver), a former First Lady who subsequently divorces her philandering husband and is named Secretary of State. The six-part series premieres July 15. More.

I have my tivo set. Are you going to watch Political Animals?

10 Iconic Pony Tails

I have been wearing pony tails since I was about three. I think I am probably getting too old for a pony tail but the moment it gets warm, or I am working in the garden or dancing around the kitchen, out comes my little brown stretchy band and up goes the hair into a sloppy ponytail.

Harpers has a slide show of pony tails from Sandra Dee to Lady Gaga.
