Fabulous Sunday ...

Zoe in Givenchy, and Vera in Marchesa.

Here are my two favorite "perfectly over the top" Oscar gowns worn by Zoe Saldana and Vera Farmiga last night. They both looked beautiful, elegant and fun–it was a nice burst of energy for the Oscars. I've never seen such a cascade of color and texture like Zoe's gown and Vera's looks like such a pretty flower. Usually I'm drawn to the more elegant neutral colored Oscar gown, but these two were an unavoidable excitement of color. And I thought both Steve and Alec did a great job hosting. I thought it was so funny when they panned on them backstage sitting on a couch in a Snuggie. Oh yeah, did I really see John Travolta in jeans?!

Hope you all had a great weekend. My birthday was awesome. It started out with a Dutch Baby (German pancake) for breakfast, a Starbucks hot chocolate w/extra whipped cream later on, an air bass performance by Eric (gets me everytime), Sprinkles red velvet cupcakes, Shepherd's Pie for dinner and the Oscars. 'Twas a great day!
