Oscar night is finally here! I'm jazzed and bummed at the same time. Jazzed to see all the fashion -- in fact I'm missing the E! channel's Countdown to the Red Carpet right now -- and find out who wins the Oscars. Bummed that this is the last red carpet event of the season. What the hell can I look forward to now to get me through the rest of this never-ending winter?! I'm also bummed that it's the first red carpet since my bestie moved to Virginia. We love watching the red carpet together, having a cocktail (or three), dishing on who looks fabulous as well as hideous, and maybe even watching a bit of the awards show itself. But not tonight. Tonight I'll be watching solo. Rather than letting a bummed mood spoil my red carpet fun, I am going to make it an event just for me, dress up in something other than sweats, and instead of a cocktail I'll have a big glass of wine. Cheers, Bestie, I know you'll be here with me in spirit!
I am hooked on "Royals" by Lorde, the tune that won the Grammy for 2014 song of the year. In a time when every pop song on the radio has the same artificial techno sound, the lyrics have no heart, and the chick singers all whine like they are 15-year olds from New Jersey, this song made me turn it up and listen instead of change the channel. I was mesmerized, like when I first heard Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" (and still love it!), and I've wanted to hear "Royals" over and over. For being only sixteen years old, this Lorde gal has a unique, soulful voice that actually brings heart and deeper meaning to the song. I hope the music industry that wants everyone to be the same doesn't ruin her good thing.

I'm tickled that today's big storm wasn't as bad (so far at least!) as predicted, but I am damn sick of this winter. Enough already. Please Mother Nature, bring on spring and give us a break!
Time to get red carpet ready and fire up the E! channel. If you want to dish about the Oscar fashions or "Royals," chat me up!!
