REESE WITHERSPOON |

TOILET ROLL HOLDER |
If truth be told, I found the Oscar frocks very disappointing this year.
Thought all the black was extraordinarily boring. These women can choose any dress in the world and have armies of stylists and yet all they can come up with is a Big Black Dress? (Only Rachel Weisz had any sort of an excuse).
There were no real drop-dead gorgeous frocks either this year. Controversially (since a lot of commentators seem to think it’s too busy) the mirror mirror 2006 frock Oscar goes to Naomi Watts’ pale frothy Givenchy confection. I am sure she will be thrilled.
Other random observations. Thought Reese Witherspoon looked like a loo-roll cover; liked Keira Knightley’s aubergine Vera Wang number, but not on her (anyway she is too unspeakably irritating for further comment, except to say, what’s with all the mascara love? Her eyelashes must be dreadfully tired by the end of an evening.). Does Helena Bonham Carter possess a hairbrush? Why does J-Lo persist with the Croydon facelift? Is Charlize Theron blind? Who told Michelle Wotsit that canary yellow was elegant and glamorous? When will someone tell Nicole Kidman that she looks absolutely dreadful in white?

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO |
lol!! We don’t have the Oscars here so I enjoyed your “mirror” recall of the evening gown parade!!Now I must go find photos to match! Except Reese’s dress, which did look similar to your loo paper holder thingy!
I thought that last dress looked like Hong Kong malled her in it.
I have a hideous confession to make, I have “sky +’d” Live from the red carpet. I’m going to watch it tonight when my husband goes to bed!! He’s up tres early. Oh I can’t wait and obviously as I look like a film star myself I can afford to make catty comments about their dresses!!
Oh I’m jealous! We don’t have Sky, so had to make this report from the snippets on breakfast TV and pictures on the Internet.
And yes, I’m 6 foot tall, slim with long golden hair tumbling to my waist,a porcelain complexion and impeccable dress sense. The person you saw blogging this morning in an (off) white towelling robe, subtly decorated with dried-on rusk and yellow baby snot WAS NOT ME.
Hi Rhiannon
Hehe. Maybe I’ll get King Kong to make me a dress. Bound to be cheaper than Givenchy…
Hmm. Where’s Halle Berry when you need her? Strange affair all round – bizarre dresses, no real surprises all night until Best Film. Have taped the highlights prog but am not particulary inclined to watch it.
Favourite barbed comment of the event was from the Guardian journalist who pointed out that Reese Witherspoon’s stated desire to do “work that matters” is somewhat at odds with her appearance in Legally Blonde 2.
And am now officially in love with Gorgeous George, for “Good Night and Good Luck”, which I loved, and for trying to raise some kind of political point in a benighted country that forbids gay marriage and looks like its going to overturn Roe v Wade.
oops – sorry – getting a bit serious there… I’ll get my coat…
Okay, I checked out the dresses, (I do not have anything beter to do?) Here is my little two bits: Nicole Kidman’s dress was lovely. All the others you mentioned I would have to agree whole heartily with you.
And yes yes yes to George Clooney’s movie!!!
Erm. Where exactly did the stylish proprietor of mirror mirror find the loo roll holder to photograph? I think us customers should be told.

Oh yes, Nicole Kidman’s dress WAS stunning. Just not on Nicole Kidman. I personally think she looks ill when she wears white. Would love to see her in something richer and warmer.
As for the loo-roll holder, I found it on Google Images. I’m sure the owner will be chasing me sharpish for abuse of copyright, or maybe I should chase him/her for abuse of loo-rolls?
