Good series of pictures, if anyone wants a gander.

Too much white, ivory, blush, & other pale dresses and too little color. I didn't absolutely love anyone's dress.

The real style disasters seemed to be in the hair category. Sienna Miller looked like a milkmaid. Hugh Grant badly needed a comb. Vanessa Williams should have gone with her usual elegant smooth updo -- the curls were too much, especially with the dress. Jennifer Love Hewitt also had too much draggy hair.

Patricia Arquette had the combination of worst hair with worst dress.

Concur with BRC on the sexiness of Hugh Laurie. But he isn't the only sexy man. Josh Holloway is definiately a reason to watch Lost:

I don't have any desire to see gay porn, but that's just another difference between you and me that makes the world interesting.

Interesting that I have no desire and no downloaded gay porn and yet you have "no desire" and a 250GB hard drive full?

did one of you two start as a tribute sock to the other, or are you independant?

maybe he's asserting that the "bend over-you like it" line constitutes evidence of discrimination against gays and Canadians.

Strikes me as evidence of discrimination against BIGFLAW associates generally.

He's OK, so long as he keeps his shirt on. He's got really sloped shoulders that make him look like Yogi Bear.

Daniel Dae Kim is the reason to watch Lost:



And why has no one yet made a tits and muff joke about my re: line? You people have slacked off in my absence.

Sorry, RT--we ARE having a snow day here. It started snowing just after six am and didn't slow down at all until almost 11. We've had several days of below-freezing high temps, so it's all stuck around and the world is gloriously white. They're not expecting it to start warming up until at least tomorrow, so we may be home tomorrow as well.

Note to ncs: The big blizzard(s) in DC that shut everything down were in 1996, not 1995. I know because I was supposed to be in DC for two short weekends totalling 4 days visiting with my then boyfriend. Because of weather shutdowns, it ended up being 9 days together that really cemented our relationship. We got engaged when I proposed on Leap Day, and we've lived happily ever after.

Watched the GGs last night, and I totally concur with DS/BRC in re Helen Mirren's dress. I also liked Hilary Swank's dress, and concur with Fugee that there was not enough color. I had to rewind and rewatch Martin Scorsese's eyebrows, and I think it would have been hard to improve upon Meryl Streep's acceptance speech.

Finally, please forgive me for this small amount of fam spam. Please go here and give my little brother a five-star rating (please ignore completely cheesy video which was pretty bad even before it got de-synched some time in the upload process).

I am listening to the Smithereens " A girl like you" and I think it's my pick for the best 80's song never appears on 80's compilations.

The Go Fug Yourself girls had a great description:

Wilhelmina Slater would be furious. She would look this up and down with an eyebrow cocked, scoff silently at the disco-silver tulle that's draped over this dress in unflattering folds, and then hiss to her assistant Marc that she's surprised to learn that Chaka Khan is designing hairpieces for Wal-Mart.

Ooooh, DC weather timmy!

If we're giving away stars, how about a few for My box in a box?

Exactly. I frequently exhort my associates to billable action by saying things along those lines.

Male, Female, gay., straight, trannie, when I say "bend over and get ready to take it like the little beeyothc you are", it has nothing to do with gender discrimination and everything to do with the billable blizzrd that the little grunt is going to hit with.

If they can't it, let em go B-School like Spanky and become a consultant or some such shite!

Ah, yes. I was thinking it was at the end of winter break during my first year of law school, but on further reflection, it was my second year (I was living in the condo I bought after first year). I was up in northern NJ visiting some high school friends the weekend that it hit and I foolishly drove home during the blizzard because I didn't want to be stuck in NJ for a week (well, the not wanting to be stuck in NJ for a week wasn't foolish, but the driving in a blizzard was). That trip was quite an adventure. Not one of my brighter moves.

I'm glad it worked out so well for you. Hopefully you weren't anywhere near Metro Center during rush hour that Thursday morning. (Have I mentioned before that crowds aren't really my thing?)

Now that is interesting (to me, and probably only to me). Back in the day, when I was thinking of joining a New York law firm, it was pointed out to me by many that S&C hired a whole bunch of Canadians and was generally very Canadian-friendly. I wonder when things took a turn for the worse. I would like to read this complaint.

Oh, just read it -- we are irrelevant. Hmmph. I guess no one at S&C has ever used an irrelevant thing called a "telephone." Or watched a game of "basketball." Or watched a movie in IMAX. Or written in green ink.*

Bastards.

*apparently we invented green ink. Way to go, Canada.

• Buddy: Scott: Show business is full . . . of actors, singers, dancers, models... And then there's me. Actor. Singer. Dancer. Model. . . Canadian.
  
  I can make the word Canadian sound sexy. Most people think that I'm from the States. . . And even worse, they think that I'm from New York, because I'm so sexy. But New York isn't sexy, it's sleazy. Americans know as much about Canada as straight people do about gays. Americans arrive at the border with skis in July, and straight people think that being gay is just a phase. A very long phase. When I'm overseas, and people mistake me for an American, I'm outraged as when I'm mistaken for straight.
  
  No one wants to know I'm gay. And even less people want to know that I'm Canadian. On my resume, my agent replaced the word gay with blond , and Canadian with outdoorsy . So I replaced outdoorsy with blousy . Which makes me a blousy blond.
  
  I get all the best friend roles. I'm in this new American picture called Millenium. It's a big budget science fiction starring Cherryl Ladd. You know, one day someone thought, "Hey. I want to make a terrible movie in Canada. Everybody else has..." I play the best friend of the timegate operator. He has one line. But he says it directly to me. The movie is full of Canadian actors with one line. It's great. It won't make a dime.
  
  It's a big hoopla down South about some wag burning the flag, oh Jesus. I don't know what all the fuss is about. We burn our flag all the time to keep warm. . . Is it cold in here or is it just me? I seem to be catching a chill.
  
  [whips out a Canadian flag -handkerchief- and sneezes into it]
  
  Oh, Jesus. Oh, that's better. Lucky I didn't blow my Pope's nose.
  
  It all reminds me of the time that Anne Murray and James Baldwin were sharing a smart cocktail at her cottage in Parry Sound. Anne said to James, It must be hard enough being black and gay... Imagine if you were also Canadian, eh?

I went to summer camp in Parry Sound.
