SAG Awards Party

On Saturday night, we had a SAG Awards viewing party sponsored by Degree Ultra Clear Red Satin. We had manicures, prizes, cosmos and plenty of wine. That's our friend Jamie, above, with Hope, who's showing off her manicure.

Degree partnered with Christina Hendricks, actor from Mad Men, for ClothesOffOurBack.com which supports women's empowerment. Christina (pictured below) looked beautiful.  We love that she doesn't fit the Hollywood mold and is proud to show off her curves. She also pulls off wearing a red dress and being a red-head, which doesn't always work.  You can bid on her Carolina Herrera dress (a size 8), proceeds benefit Clothes Off Our Back. The auction ends on February 8th.

As for the SAG awards, the red-carpet was less exciting to watch than the Golden Globes; but we did see some improvement with the dresses. Lea Michelle shook off the too-old-for-her gown for a (too-sexy-for-Lea) low cut green Catherine Malandrino gown; our favorite from Glee, Jane Lynch, had a better colored dress than the one she wore to the Globes;  and Tina Fey went a little more mainstream in a purple Ferragamo dress-even though we know that's not her style.   On the bright side, Penelope Cruz scored high points with us again (in a black L'Wren Scott gown with long flowy hair) as did Christina Applegate and Nicole Kidman who both wore subdued colors and soft up-do's.

Back home, we realize it's been so long that we've had a big group of our girlfriends over.  Here's Shelly getting a manicure from Jeannie from Five Star Hair and Day Spa.  Five Star sent two manicurists to the party, they were talented, fun and blended right in to the party.  It may have been the first time we had that kind of service at home; but we're hoping it's not the last.
