I love me a good gander at award's show dresses!   Just the creations they are, whether they work or not, the colors, the talent involved.   I don't know, maybe it's the model in me (insert laughing til it cries emoji)!   (Actress Tatiana Maslany, is pictured above.)    Look through some Emmy pics from Sunday here and find your favorites.  I have mine!

Weren't Rachel McAdams and Jennifer Lawrence beautiful at the Golden Globes?  From hair to makeup to jewelry - you know, their whole 'look' was spot on?!   Kirsten Dunst's beautifully designed, Greeky' Goddessy smokin' dress, you gotta respect.  Jana Fonda's, Amy Schumur's, and Katy Perry's dresses; maybe not my favorites.   Cate Blanchett always owned.    story             . . . We like to look at pretty things.  And we judge them.   Best or Worst ...   Important to do?  Is there more to a woman than what's on the outside??     Duh.

Principle in the type:  ". . . contribution of women is often under-appreciated.  I wish to express gratitude for the influence of good women, identify some of the philosophies and trends that threaten women’s strength and standing, and voice a plea to women to cultivate the . . .  power within them.         D.

Andy Samberg hosted the Emmy's Sunday night, and started by poking fun at how very much television we seem to watch, or seem to be told to watch, or miss but wish we had watched.  Close behind he joked,  “The Emmys are all about celebrating the best of the year in television. So, sorry, books — not tonight! ..."    news        True whether in books or media, a fair amount of time should be spent enriching the mind versus zombifying it!         

Principle in the type:  "Sometimes it feels like we are drowning in frivolous foolishness, nonsensical noise, and continuous contention.  When we turn down the volume and examine the substance, there is very little that will assist us."   Quentin L. cook
