We have a boy's name pretty much figured out but we're struggling to agree on a girl's name. We already have one child, a girl named Rose. We LOVE her name By Duana • Sep 27, 2013 11:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Divergent: More Of The Same There's a new Divergent featurette. I mean, watch it, by all means – but it’s the same damn thing as we’ve seen before. Tris is Divergent! Lots of cutting between industrial street scenes and fight scenes! You really don’t know what’s going on, what a By Duana • Sep 26, 2013 01:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews On Set, Into The Woods And now, a diversion into a particular pocket of nerd… “Into The Woods It’s Time To Go I Hate To Leave I Have To Though…” If you know – if you have that particular brand of musical nerd in you – you got a bit hyper and out of breath as By Duana • Sep 26, 2013 11:31 am

Emmy Awards 2013 Best Emmys Save: Tina and Amy Okay, let’s get the sartorial stuff out of the way first. Tina’s dress fit her impeccably. But it was, yes, kind of a boring blue. But her hair was a whole new colour! And she looked more comfortable than she often does on these carpets. Amy Poehler looks By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 01:49 pm
Thinnification Emmys Worst: Claire Danes It’s partly her own doing, I think. Had she showed up just on her own as Claire Danes, then she would have just been Claire Danes and the hair and the tan and that dress, which is not getting enough criticism, would have been judged on their own. But By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 01:38 pm
Emmy Awards 2013 Emmys Most Overlooked: Lena Dunham Did not enjoy Lena Dunham’s haircut, but I get it. Did not enjoy her eyeliner, either, but it reminded me of a Halloween costume a couple of years ago when I went out as Taylor Momsen, so that got me thinking about what I’m going to do this By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 01:09 pm
Emmy Awards 2013 Emmys Best Game: Julia Louis-Dreyfus Do you see what I’m saying about the strapless dresses? Not only does this one fit tightly under her armpits, but it also rises up and curves OVER her cleavage. There is no danger that it’s going anywhere. I am more relaxed just by looking at her. This By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 12:56 pm
Style Best Young Dressed: Kiernan Shipka It has to be daunting by this point. By now, Shipka knows she’s not just having fun with clothes. That is, she may well be, but now she knows very well that it’s becoming a thing, the way she looks and what she chooses to wear and stuff, By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 12:26 pm
Gorgessity Emmys Most Significant Fabric: Connie Britton It looks like Nashville. Right? Am I right? My girl Connie Britton dressed in Lions red when it was time to celebrate FNL, and now that it’s about Nashville, it’s about the kind of velvet and brocade that might as easily upholster a chaise lounge to celebrate Rayna By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 12:19 pm
Emmy Awards 2013 Emmys Most Insufferable: Allison Williams Big blue dress – check. Stacked weird black chunky heels – check. Weird sense of overblown entitlement because you’ve been singled out as the “conventionally pretty one” from Girls? Ohhhh, check. Allison Williams appears to think she is a fashion girl now. I’m not saying she’s not – she may By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 11:35 am
Gorgessity Emmys Most Improved: Elisabeth Moss WOW, this girl. I’ve been on kind of a renewed crush cycle with her since that video from last spring where she and the other maybe-nominees (sorry, Monica Potter) discussed their lives as actresses, and she had fun and was lively and excited. When I saw her tonight I By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 11:00 am
Emmy Awards 2013 Worst Emmys Styling Overall: Vera Farmiga Sasha and I don’t see each other daily anymore workwise. We did, but it was years ago. However, last fall it so happened that we started to run into each other on the daily again, and the first or second day, she surveyed my outfit and said “Oh right. By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 10:37 am
Bad Hair Worst Emmy Tendrils: Malin Akerman Okay, so we know there’s a hierarchy to these things, right? All the dresses are chosen in sequence of who gets to wear them, with the best going first, and the last ones going to the guest stars or wives or ladies Of A Certain Age. Malin Akerman isn’ By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 09:58 am
Thinnification Emmys Worst Thinnification: Julianna Margulies I think I’ve been clear here, before, that I really like the Marg. I spell her name wrong with regularity, of course, but I like her. She’s always kind of got some quiet sass about her, rocking the latter part of her career, and she knows exactly what’ By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 09:46 am
