Tonight is Oscars! And if you’re like me, then you’re more interested in the Red Carpet show than the actual awards show. Don’t get me wrong… I love film and entertainment and the whole aspect of film-making, but I love watching all of the actresses and actors walking the red carpet, showing off their designer frocks and their personal style. I love to see the glitz and glam that some of these entertainers put on display. The 89th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will honor the best films of 2016 and will take […]
Man of Style: Outlander’s Sam Heughan
“You do have to learn how to wear a kilt, and it’s certainly very liberating and very freeing, but surprisingly very comfortable to wear, to ride a horse in a kilt. I was surprised by that.” – Sam Heughan, actor in Outlander I have always been a sucker for accents. British, Irish, Scottish, Australian, French, Italian, or even a good ol’ Southern accent {like my husband}. My cousin, Dallas, got me hooked on the Starz series, Outlander, and this series introduced me to Sam Heughan. He portrays the rugged Highlander, Jamie Fraser. His accent had me hooked! Those eyes and that […]

Remembering Mary Tyler Moore
Mary Tyler Moore passed away earlier this week on January 25th, at the age of 80. She was a thoroughly modern woman in her time and she will be missed. “There are certain things about me that I will never tell to anyone because I am a very private person. But basically what you see is who I am. I’m independent, I do like to be liked, I do look for the good side of life and people. I’m positive, I’m disciplined, I like my life in order, and I’m neat as a pin. I love order and discipline. God, […]
Just Put on Your Red Shoes and Dance the Blues
If there were ever one famous rocker from my childhood whose music drew me in like a moth to a flame, it was David Bowie. He made me want to put on my red shoes {even though I didn’t have any red shoes} and “dance the blues.” A year ago yesterday, this iconic singer, songwriter, and actor passed away. It was a shock to millions of people, myself included, but his music will live on in the hearts of all of us. “Let’s Dance” and “Little China Girl” were so memorable for me. His androgynous look, his unique voice, his […]
