Get your fav snack … it’s Oscar weekend


oscarwithlighting

The Oscars, 2024, known for being one of a few Award Shows that people actually schedule their day and or lives around, is finally here. Quick get your fav snacks and, drinks and ooh girl look on.  It offers up winners and losers in film, costume, writers, music, actors, and directors, but most of us seem to tune in for the fashion, makeup, or latest cutie pie.  The night is about the best of all things good-looking, ugly, and maybe a malfunction of some kind. There might be some dancing possibly people you won’t see in person …unless you live in NYC go to Aspen a lot or live in Cali, and reports are some look different … well, fantasy is just better than reality isn’t!

This year the Oscars offer us more than just family fun or fantasy but films about slavery, politics, autism, or being bipolar and what impact each has on lives and legacies … tune in on March 10, 2014

Oscar enthusiasts watch to find out the latest info on who might be pregnant, divorced, who is wearing what, why, and in the end, all of us have an opinion on all the fashions worn during the event, as a star or model walks down the Red Carpet, and the big question?  … honestly, did your family, your agent, or your date let you leave out the house with that on?  I said it.

It seems like very few Oscars have been amusing due to the state of our economy  …entertainers were telling us … money doesn’t buy you happiness etc. blah blah blah; I agree, but it doesn’t buy taste either, SO …let the judging begin. lol

There are a lot of us couch potatoes stylists wondering about the credentials needed and being claimed by some of these so-called pros … don’t get me started

My observation is that dressing in labels is great – love labels, but maybe it’s time to switch it up People …the economy is making brand names have two lines …the upscale and what you can get at a “Regular” store or off the rack.  Yes, we all know that it is important not to be seen wearing something, us civilians would wear and most try to avoid being caught with the same dress on at any given event. We can also forge-’bout actors slash designers wearing their own clothing lines to a high-end event, or seeing anyone who makes a living in front of the camera wearing a Vera done for Kohl’s clothing store. I could be wrong. However, it seems like a great idea, a change of pace and given the times would probably bring more interest and sales to the clothes at the “Regular” store.  We all know a FLOTUS who wore both Designer and Average Girl Fashion

Anyway,  … no one sits at home without voicing an opinion on what these folks are wearing on Oscar night … let’s help change fashion don’t into fashion do … by tweeting some lol advice, and enjoy!

Toys R Us: Does Your Cotton Come From Child Laborers?


care2 petitionsite actionAlert

Hi Carmen,Toys ‘R’ Us is a kid’s playground. But sadly, it could be enabling the government of Uzbekistan to strip the childhoods of its kids by making them pick the cottonthat makes it into toys and clothes.Tell Toys ‘R’ Us to only use responsibly sourced cotton »

Uzbekistan is the third largest cotton exporter in the world. But instead of using machinery to harvest the cotton, the government forces tens of thousands of children to leave school for the cotton fields every year. For their back-breaking labor they get a pittance of pay while the government pockets most of the profits.

More than 70 of the world’s largest retail and apparel brands have taken a stand against child and slave labor by enacting policies to prohibit the use of Uzbekistan cotton in their products. But Toys ‘R’ Us not only has no such policy, it hasn’t even addressed the issue.

One child shouldn’t have to suffer factory work so another can get a teddy bear or a new outfit. Urge Toys ‘R’ Us to ban suppliers from sourcing Uzbek cotton to help end child labor »

Thanks for taking action!Emily V.
