happy belated new year
Blah blah blah, 2010, etc,… etc,… all I really want to point out at this very moment, as I watch my DVR’d Golden Globes from last Sunday night, is how ridiculous deep tans look. Extra-specially if you’re someone who doesn’t have much melanin in your skin to begin with.
Like me, frinstanz. I’d look frickin’ ridiculous with a lot of color in my skin. When I was in Italy last June I did a real number on my face by wearing a face lotion sans SPF and ferrying myself all over Lake Como on the sunniest day of my trip. The sun damage still shows, but thanks to my friend Lissa - a sun-worshiper, but I love her anyway, hee hee - who recommended a product that diminished those ugly freckles. Thank you, Lissa!
But I digress. It was Jeremy Piven who sparked this tan outburst from me. They panned to him in the audience at the GGs and my mouth fell open. Not only does his dark skin look unnatural and gross, but gauche. Oh sure, let’s advertise to everyone how much money you have and how you can vacation in expensive places closer to the equator than the rest of us average people.
Am I being too harsh? Is Chris right that I’m a bad drunk and have maybe just had too much wine tonight as I sit here alone (ok, not ALONE, Lucy is curled up next to me) watching my DVR’d programs from the previous week? Hrmph.
Ok, that was a teensy itty-bitty mini rant. Done. Now I’m almost weeping because I just watched Meryl “T-Bone” Streep give her acceptance speech for Julie & Julia. Meryl is the shit.
