2007 Emmy Awards Best Dressed List and a Few Extras….
September 17, 2007 By 1 Comment
I only watched a few seconds of the 2007 Emmys, but I caught a glimpse of Vanessa Williams' dress and knew that she would be on my best dressed list. This woman, even through some scandalous pictures and even more scandalous husbands, always manages to look completely fab! She is soooo my beauty role model.....

Jill Scott, "Hate on Me" This is DEFINITELY my new theme song.... I am a member of the little hippy chick club. Not too big, not too small--just in between. Before I became a bonified member of the the club, I can freely admit that I was indeed mesmerized by all of the thin runway models and their hanger/rack-like ability for clothes to hang on them perfectly (adults fall into peer pressure, too). But, when I tried to join the waif club, my husband said to me, "Um, baby, what happened … [Read more...]
