Stars Dazzle in Green

Many a fashionista must have turned green with envy when three of Hollywood's leading ladies sashayed down the red carpet at this year's Golden Globes in varying shades of green.

Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mila Kunis and Elisabeth Moss broke away from the rest of the pack and opted to sheath themselves in emerald tones. Their savvy fashion choices won the kudos of fashion critics' and even that of Joan Rivers herself, who usually takes pleasure in ripping into the stars' fashion choices.

Their choice of colour was also a breath of fresh air among the sea of pastels and staple black that usually dominate most award shows.


Angelina Jolie glittered in a show-stopping sequined Versace gown. The outfit that was custom made for her deserves a place in the Smithsonian National Museum - where much of vintage American fashion resides.


Catherine Zeta-Jones opted for old world glamour in a Monique Lhuillier draped silk gown. The forest green creation was the perfect fit for Catherine's regal beauty.


Sassy Mila Kunis glided swan like down the red carpet in a Vera Wang creation. The one shouldered dress with a train that was neither too long or too short, earned her a place on many a Best Dressed list.


Elisabeth Moss shone in a dark green pleated Donna Karan gown for her walk down the red carpet.

Stylish After 50

There is no age limit to being stylish and fashionable. One's fashion sense does not melt away into the sunset after 50. Plus there's absolutely no rule that says a woman in her 60s or 70s who has grandchildren must stop wearing make-up, painting her nails and wearing lovely clothes. Way too often have I heard the common refrain: " So old already why must dress up, who is going to look at us?" or "Already a grandmother, why want to do all this some more...." Said in typical Malaysian lingo of course! First of all, I don't get the concept of dressing up for other people. When you look good, you feel good, it is as simple as that. It is not about the number of people who might stop by to lavish you with compliments. It is about making a statement about who you are - someone who believes in looking good by wearing clothes that compliment her. Forget the white streaks in your hair, those faint lines on your face. Clothes, shoes and accessories don...

A Humanitarian is.........

This monkey apparently went to the rescue of a puppy during a pipeline explosion in Nanjing, China. The image was posted on Twitter. However reports have surfaced that the photo above has been circulating on the net since 2006. True or not true, animals have been known to watch out for each other and even nurture a cub from another species. Recently a neighbour of ours moved out. The sad thing is that he left his two dogs behind. A pair of cross-breed German Shepherd dogs. For a couple of days they wandered about the neighbourhood, a woman who lives a few doors away and my mum would feed them. Three days after they were left to fend for themselves, people from the Veterinary Services Department came to take them away. We don't live in a dog friendly neighbourhood. The thing is, though the official story is that dogs who are taken away are put to sleep - via injection. The unofficial story is far different. Most of these dogs who are abandoned and the many strays usual...

Curly Haired Indian

 Last Friday I walked into a shop at Amcorp Mall that sells hair products and accessories. As I entered, I heard a customer whining to the sales staff at the counter about her hair. Said customer was a middle-aged Indian woman with long freezy hair down her back. When she noticed me, she gave me a look and told the staff at the counter: " You see lar, we Indians all have this kind of hair only." I was quite amused that she was putting me in the same category as her, considering that I don't have a huge lump of friz bobbing down my back. If only someone had given this woman some sage advice about managing her thick mane, maybe she wouldn't be whining and hankering after silky-smooth stresses - which she naturally cannot have unless she resorts to rebonding and rebonding till death, by which time she might no longer have any hair left. If only someone had told her that maybe she should not have her hair that long! And that perhaps she should trim it a little...
