Lifestyle Duana Names: Don’t Panic Hi Duana, Do I have a job for you! My husband and I recently found out we are expecting our second child (our first was born 9 short months ago...surprise!) and are completely lost when it comes to naming number 2. Yes, the name is what I'm By Duana • Jan 20, 2017 04:54 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Getting Specific About Sibling Names I wrote to you two years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter, who we named Margo Naomi. My question was about spelling it Margo vs. Margot. I was so thrilled that you responded, even though we had already put the name on the birth certificate by the time By Duana • Jan 18, 2017 05:05 pm
The Affair The Fault In No-Fault Divorce The Affair Season 3, Episodes 306-308 recap The trick of The Affair, the thing that made it fascinating all this time, was the idea that of course, the small-a affair doesn’t just affect the people in it, but everyone around them. It’s one of those ideas that’s By Duana • Jan 17, 2017 02:42 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: To The Day…But Not The Letter We are expecting girl2 in mid January (actually have the same due date as with girl1, they will be 3 years apart) and we can't find a name we love as much as we love girl1's name. Girl1 is named Lilian Heather (goes by Lily 85% By Duana • Jan 16, 2017 03:57 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Why People Love Math We are expecting our second child, a daughter, in February. We lean toward traditional names and spent time finding ones that weren't too popular. Our son is named Peter, and we've chosen Jane as the first name for our daughter. We have a fairly common last By Duana • Jan 13, 2017 03:41 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: I Saw The Sign…Right? Help! We're having our first, a baby girl at the end of January and for a name we are stumped! I keep waiting for a sign or something to fall upon us which is just perfect, but obviously that hasn't happened yet. I can't By Duana • Jan 11, 2017 04:56 pm
Golden Globes 2017 Miss Golden Globe(s) and their Introducer So tell the truth. If the Miss Golden Globe(s) hadn’t been introduced, would you have known whose progeny they were? I wouldn’t at all, but apparently some of the internet thinks they’re very easily identifiable? It’s kind of a ridiculous job, but they did fine, By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 04:08 pm
Bad Style Natalie Portman: Globes Worst Dressed (Duana) Natalie Portman didn’t make an appearance last night. That is, sometimes nominees are involved in other projects or sketches so you see them in a different capacity than just sitting in their seats, waiting…but that didn’t happen tonight, and I wonder how she feels about it. Maybe, By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 03:37 pm
Style Emma Stone: Globes Best Dressed (Duana) Somewhere in between the mass sentiment ‘oh please, she’s wearing a dress with STARS on it, how on the nose, we get it’ and her apparently answering the question ‘what are you wearing’ with ‘a dress with stars on it’, I feel like we got the mistaken impression that By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 03:20 pm
Golden Globes 2017 Ryan Gosling: Golden Globe forever meme What do you think it will be? Which phrase will be emblazoned on the next round of Ryan Gosling memes, like the cheap valentines we used to pass out to one another in grade school? My vote is for “While I was singing and dancing…my lady was raising our By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 03:00 pm
Golden Globes 2017 Brie Larson: Golden Globes Integrity I don’t like Brie Larson’s snoozy column dress. I also didn’t like her makeup. I actually find she has kind of a funny face in that it’s a bit anonymous. She can disappear all of a sudden and almost be unrecognizable. Probably a great skill for By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 02:31 pm
Golden Globes 2017 Meryl Streep: Best Globes Speech Do you think she really did lose her voice? Or do you think she knew her speech would be that much more effective if the room was pin-drop silent so everyone could listen to her? Do you think that Meryl Streep had to look up which of her fellow nominees By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 01:58 pm
Golden Globes 2017 Viola Davis: Golden Globes MVP You know what I mean by MVP, right? There are others who will get the label ‘best dressed’ (though for me, this yellow column came very close. Davis always does colours but this was the best and it’s only January!) and there are others who were arguably ‘bigger’ winners, By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 01:32 pm
Golden Globes 2017 Sarah Jessica Parker: Worst Best Humility at the Globes No, Sarah Jessica Parker did not style her hair in honour of Carrie Fisher. Of course she didn’t. On a personal level, she thinks of herself as too creative to do a straight homage like that, is my personal opinion, and she wouldn’t want to be tied to By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 01:03 pm
Keith Urban Nicole Kidman: Best Literary Homage at the Globes Okay, you can yell at me. Scream all you want, but I do not hate this! I said early on, on our group text, that she was 60% of the way to becoming Miss Havisham, and I then heard it on Twitter, too. This look is McQueen and it’s By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 12:26 pm
Milo Ventimiglia Mandy Moore’s Golden Globes Family Affair Don’t call it a comeback. Arguably the very first article I ever wrote for LaineyGossip, on a train, no less, was about why people should love Mandy Moore (more). Then there were the dark years, and Ryan Adams, and now the promotional ads for This Is Us that ran By Duana • Jan 09, 2017 10:52 am
