My favorite Oscar dress...

This Brazilian beauty is Camila Alves, actor Matthew McConaughey's significant other.

I LOVE this look - simple, elegant, fabulous.

The dress is by Kaufman Franco.

The Weight by The Band

One of my favorite songs...some of the cinematography in Easy Rider
was beautiful, but overall, I hated the movie...don't know why Peter Fonda
never made it as a movie star...

Grey Gardens on HBO

There has been lots of buzz about HBO's production of Grey Gardens starring Drew Barrymore as Little Edie & Jessica Lange as Big Edie . I fired up the DVR recently and watched it. Afterwards, I immediately put flea meds on the cat and went on a mini cleaning spree!! This proves everyone should know how to wash, sanitize, take out the trash, dust, etc.

There are a few TN. connections to this sad story. Phelan Beale (husband of Big Edie, father of Little Edie) was born in Chattanooga and was graduated from The University of the South in Sewanee, TN. He was a partner in a New York law firm with Jackie O's grandfather. Julius Krug, portrayed in the film as Little Edie's love interest, worked for TVA and later founded Volunteer Asphalt Company in Knoxville.
