Name Nerd For the Nth time… Hi Duana, I have two daughters, Neve and Neko, expecting my third daughter in a few weeks. Having two girls whose names begin with 'N' was not intentional, and it seems I am landing on 'N' names again. I will feel like a Duggar or cheeseball By Duana • Jan 17, 2020 04:06 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work – Oscars Fool Us Again Edition We always planned to talk about the 2020 Oscar nominations on this week’s episode, since an Oscar nod obviously has a huge impact on the careers of anyone nominated. Instead, we wound up talking about how obvious the Academy’s blind spot is: since once again white men vastly By Duana • Jan 15, 2020 05:13 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: Pragmatic, Practical – and Perfect? Hi- hoping a note from a dad might be a fun change of pace for you. My wife and I are expecting a girl in 2 wks and are at loggerheads on not just a name, but a process to even get to a shortlist to find something mutually acceptable By Duana • Jan 13, 2020 04:55 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: How Do You Rate Alliteration? Hi Duana, We are expecting a girl in January and need some name help! For the last several years (as we have been thinking about and trying to get pregnant) I was sure I was set on Eleanor, but now I'm less excited about it, especially because of By Duana • Jan 10, 2020 04:58 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: Name her like Greta Gerwig Did! Hi Duana, Hoping to follow-up on my e-mail from August as my husband and I are still having trouble and baby's arrival is a few short weeks away! We're essentially in the same spot - we know we'd like Jack Frances for our son By Duana • Jan 08, 2020 03:52 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: LIVE from the Golden Globes! We are back, and thrilled to bring you this special episode of the podcast LIVE (ish) from L.A., where Lainey was on the Golden Globes red carpet in the dress heard around the web! The red carpet is a strange beast, and fresh from what Lainey calls one of By Duana • Jan 08, 2020 03:18 pm
Gorgessity Charlize Theron: Golden Globes Best Dressed (Duana) All right… let’s do this. I even cracked my knuckles in anticipation. Webster’s Dictionary defines ‘best dressed’ as… Yeah, yeah, okay. Tired joke. But, knowing that I was gonna choose this look, and also knowing how many people already hate it, I wanted to actually try to do By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 03:27 pm
Assy Style Renee Zellweger: Globes Worst Dressed (Duana) Okay, let’s get this out of the way first. Nobody wants to be mean to Renee Zellweger. It’s unthinkable, like kicking a bunny rabbit. Moreover, I’m not using ‘worst dressed’ just to be a dick, it’s – you know what? Let’s call it ‘least favourite’ and By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 01:56 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Best Of The Globes: Michelle Williams’ Acceptance Speech Michelle Williams ruined my plans. I listened to a great podcast with Busy Philipps the other day, and knowing she’s always Michelle Williams’ date to awards shows, I really wanted to write about some of the ways Busy described her on the podcast (which were also in her book, By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 01:07 pm
Style I Finally See Gwyneth Paltrow I’m married to a wonderful person, but naturally, he has flaws. One of them is that he doesn’t like Succession. I know. We watched the whole first season, he said he was out, but I wheedled, ‘maybe you’ll like it this season, everyone says it’s so By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 11:17 am
Golden Globes 2020 Cate Blanchett is Underused at the Golden Globes By virtue of appearing here in the middle of the day (night? What time is it?), Cate Blanchett is neither mine nor Lainey’s Best Dressed of the night. Which is kind of bizarre, because this dress is utterly fantastic. It’s Mary Katranzou, one of my all-time favourites, but By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 10:46 am
Golden Globes 2020 Cynthia Erivo & Scarlett Johansson: Globes Piercing Pals I am a garden-variety internet addict who loves clothing and spectacle, so during or after an awards show, I obviously search obsessively to find out who designed the outfits I love (or despise). I used to be better at the ‘I can guess that designer just by looking at it’ By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 09:45 am
Golden Globes 2020 Phoebe Waller-Bridge: Globes Talent Sorceress I spent the last 10 minutes looking for a word to describe what Phoebe Waller-Bridge is to the entire entertainment industry. ‘Seductress’ is wrong, ‘enchantress’ is too froofy, ‘Jedi’ is embarrassing. I actually flirted with ‘Veela’ but I couldn’t live with myself if I used it. They’re totally By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 09:23 am
Golden Globes 2020 Globes’ Biggest Surprise: Ramy (and Rami, and Lucy) As Lainey says, this is what the Golden Globes does well – maybe even reliably: they pick up on small interesting shows and, by awarding them or their stars, bring them a much bigger audience. Just off the top of my head, The Affair, Jane The Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Donald Glover By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 07:35 am
Golden Globes 2020 Saoirse Ronan’s Globes Protest? Anyone who reads us knows I’m hopelessly biased about Saoirse Ronan. But with good reason - she’s charming, smart, and frequently makes amazing red carpet choices. In 2016 I called her Oscar dress ‘satisfying’, and I’m still really happy with that word choice. Then on top of By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 06:05 am
Golden Globes 2020 Hot Dads of Hollywood, Golden Globes Edition As you may have seen on Instagram, Lainey’s been going deep into the processes of both her TV life and lining up the site. And because we can’t physically write the 90 pieces we’d like to if we were addressing every last thing about the show, we By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 05:36 am
