For me, this is a very sad story. We sent out a tweet about it on March 5th linking to an article in The Independent. This is how that piece starts out:
The photograph shows a starkly handsome Chinese man walking with a model’s measured gait, and wearing a rag-tag but well co-ordinated overcoat on top of a leather jacket. His eyes peer into the middle distance, in what one fan described as “a deep and penetrating way”, and he strides confidently forward.
But this is no catwalk model. This is a homeless man in the city of Ningbo. And now a band of web followers are calling him the coolest man in China.

The glam was back this year at the Oscars, and thank goodness for that!
Also, the range of great gowns was just rich! That much is obvious from all of the favorites I have listed here. I liked all of these dresses.
Here are a few of my favorite looks in no particular order:
Rachel McAdams in a great Elie Saab strapless gown from the Spring 2010 Haute Couture collection.
Demi Moore in a nude colored silk organza gown with tons of ruffles from Atelier Versace.

The following post is from Mark Shrem.
“I’ve predicted winners for this years Oscar nominees for the 82nd Academy Awards. I have intentionally not read or listened to any reviews or other opinions on these movies, in order to have a clean point of view of the films presented.”
Best Picture:
Despite what the “experts” and everyone else is saying (The Hurt Locker), I’m going to have to stick to my guns and give my pick to James Cameron for Avatar. The simple fact that his movie has changed the way we watch and make movies and speaks for itself. This movie broke barriers in film making. The Hurt Locker, an amazing film worthy of best picture, if it wasn’t going against Avatar. The Hurt Locker was by far a better directed movie however, the movie itself is no Avatar.
Best Actor:
Great job by Jeff Bridges, and he may take it since he’s due for an award, however Morgan Freeman’s flawless performance playing Nelson Mandela was outstanding and I think he deserves the Oscar. Solid performance by the other nominees, however I didn’t see Colin Firth’s performance.

If you hurry, you can own a piece of Oprah — her closet, anyway. From March 1 – 11, the talk show maven is auctioning off her previously used clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories.
Check out Oprah’s whole collection on eBay.
Each item has a starting bid of $100. Just three hours after bidding opened today, a red Carolina Herrera dress that Oprah has worn on the show was already up to $810, and there’s more than a week left in the auction!
All proceeds from the sales will go towards financing the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa.

Jennifer Lopez reprised the catsuit look — this time in leather — at the 60th anniversary of the San Remo music festival in Italy. The ensemble actually appeared to be high-waisted leather pants embellished with lace-up ties and crystals, and a tight leather blouse that ended above her bosom. Take a look…
