Gorgeous Dresses and Long Speeches

I love awards season. I do. Mostly because I love to see what people people wear and either mock them or envy them. This year started off with a bang. There were so amazing dresses that graced the red carpet at the Golden Globes and I want to honor some of my favorites

OMG! some of the speeches were so long. This is a three hour show people and there is a lot to get through. We know you're excited/emotional but get a grip. My God, Kate Winslet won 2 and while I love her, she's butta (Linda Richmond "Coffee Talk"), I'm not sure you need to thank your make-up artist for making you look like betta butta. When she pulled out her first thank you speech for The Reader I thought she was reading an address to congress (or Parliament). Then she won again for Revolutionary Road and while she didn't have one ready she seemed to talk just as long... and she was crying. I kind of wanted to throw a sock, because I think it would do less damage than a shoe to our tv. So I have come up with a template that I will send to help condense the speech for the Oscars... since the golden globes are usually a precursor to the Oscars-

(read emotionally in an English accent)
"Oh my gosh. I'm so excited to receive this award. I'd like to thank the director_____, and the producers for allowing me to be a part of this fantastic project. I'd like to thank my costars, (Leo D.), _______, it's been an honor to work with you and I'd like to thank the rest of the cast and crew, without you none of this would be possible. Finally I'd have to thank my husband, you are the love of my life (blah, blah, blah), and my kids, Mummy loves you. THANK YOU!

see that's all you really need to say. Obviously they don't know how to "cliff note" things across the pond. Anyway, that's going in the mail tomorrow, b/c otherwise the Oscars could be a long night. hahaha.

In conclusion... I love award shows and when I can add pics of my favorite dresses I will. Enjoy the last week and a half of break

In conclusion, I'm so jealous of all these gorgeous people and the fact that they get to wear these beautiful dresses and jewelry. The only one I think I would ever be able to pull-off is...Beyounce's...HAHAHA. just kidding. No really it would probably be Kate Winslet's. Hey man, I'm dropping the LBs, banquet is in 3 months I just need to work out and find a way to get my grubby (OK, I'll wash them) hands on it. and the Jewels, but I'd probably get arrested :X
