Staying Light Longer

We even have enough time for a casual ride/bike date after work.
Hurray for bikes!

Red Carpet Transformation: Marisa Tomei

RED CARPET GLORY

I still stand by this dress

Beyond Fabulous!

RED CARPET HOT MESS!

What the hell was this about?

Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei has come a long way from her nondescript wardrobe. Remember her from "Different World" with Lisa Bonet? It took a while for the actress to find herself but eventually she did. It should be a law in Hollywood to have a fashion stylist and make-up artist at all times. Thank God Marisa decided to hire both.

I adore Marisa because she has her own individual style. Everybody hated her mustard Elie Saab rosette dress she wore to the 2009 SAG awards but I appreciated that she took a risk. Her style is much like mine edgy but yet chic!

Fabulous Events

2009 Signature Theatre Company Gala

YaYa DaCosta is such a natural beauty. She looks fabulous in this silver satin strapless dress. I am not too crazy about her grand-ma shoes though.

1st Annual Streamy Awards

Really? Another boring black dress? Rosario Dawson is such a beautiful girl so I guess she feels she doesn't have to make an effort.

"In A Perfect World" Album Release Party

Keri Hilson looks hot in this black haltered jumpsuit and I am loving her gold accessories!

Which Diva Wore It Better? Demi Moore or Bijou Phillips

Demi Moore

Bijou Phillips

Demi Moore first wore this amazing electric blue Zac Posen ruffled dress to the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai. Demi looked sensational in this dress and I loved her bronze peek-a-boo heels.

Actress Bijou Phillips wore her fabulous chartreuse version to the "60th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards". I was blown away when I laid eyes on her in this dress. She looked flawless.

This is a difficult decision because both women were letting me have it! I have to choose Bijou because that chartreuse color is just captivating!

Superbe!

There have been a confluence of references to Raleigh Superbes in my life recently. It started with Bikes Not Bombs, and their Superbe which was gone by the time my friend went out there to buy it. Commenting on his eventual Sport, Chiara mentioned the Superbe. Intrigued I found one on Craigslist in Providence for $350 (deleted now, must be sold). Finally, when reading about putting an internally geared hub on my city bike I came across Sheldon's Superbe.

I was delighted when I found one at the bike shop in the basement of the Cambridge Antique Market (201 Monsigneur O'Brien Highway). The nice folks there even let me try it out, even though I told them I was just looking. It is a 1966 and it doesn't have the chaincase that the others do. (edit: while the above had chaincases, some originally didn't) Yet you can see in the photo that it is a Superbe, and the rest of the bits are there (locking fork, dynohub, Brooks saddle). My first thought was "smooth". The bike glides. My next impression was a bit of the "joliness" of my Raleigh Sport. My current townie is fun, but he takes himself a little bit seriously. These old Raleighs seem a bit more relaxed. I wish I could justify a new bike. This Superbe is listed at a suberbe value and I'd really like to bring him home with me. I need an excuse - at 5 bikes I'm running out of excuses to buy yet another. Anyone???

Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night XV

Keisha and Forest Whitaker

Stunning, Stunning and beyond Stunning! Keisha Whitaker looks outstanding in this coral embellished Jenny Packham dress.

Jordin Sparks looks splendid in this black embellished dress.

Queen Latifah Birthday Celebration

As much as I love Queen Latifah, I can't co-sign with this ensemble. I am not sure what is going on with this get-up. Since she can't do no wrong in my book, I will let her pass this time.

LisaRaye and Lil Kim

Lil Kim

LisaRaye looks great in her white draped strapless dress. Lil Kim must be looking in a fun-house circus mirror if she thinks she looks natural. It's like looking at a cartoon character. I am loving her Fendi Belt and Louis Vuitton clutch though.

Fitness trainer Jeanette Jenkins and guest

Jeanette Jenkins(allegedly Queen Latifah girlfriend) is working that LBD. Even though her friend's cream ruffled dress is a little tight around the derriere, I am loving it!

I have not been feeling Kim Kardashian lately. Her black jumpsuit is cute but she is showing way too much cleavage and her studded belt is entirely too wide. I hope she is not resorting back to her over expose ways.

Vivica Fox is rocking a chic black pantsuit and a little a sexy bustier paired with a pop of color red pointy heels.

Omar and Keisha Epps look wonderful together.
