Girls Of Course Names Matter Girls Season 4 Episode 7 recap Obviously they matter. Of course people need to know what other’s names are, of course you want to know their reactions to them.

Lifestyle Duana Names: Is This Name A Curse? Hi Duana, I would love some feedback from you regarding naming our second daughter due early this Spring.

How To Get Away With Murder We’re Not Monsters Hot To Get Away With Murder Season 1 Episodes 14&15 season finale recap Well. Aren’t they?

Girls Those Who Can’t Do, Teach Girls Season 4 Episode 6 recap I thought that maybe last week was an anomaly, but now I know the truth – I want every episode of Girls to be about Adam and Mimi-Rose. I don’t know if this was the intent. I have no idea if Dunham & Co By Duana • Feb 25, 2015 11:53 am
Style Emma Stone: Best Dressed (Duana) You know, you never want to be boring. Predictable. Safe. And so it becomes a bit of a lame proposition to choose Emma Stone for Best Dressed, because of course she’s going to be Best Dressed. Even her misses are so much more interesting than everyone else’s wins. By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 04:03 pm
Oscars 2015 Jennifer Aniston: Oscars Worst Dressed (Duana) What are you doing? What are you thinking? Jennifer Aniston has a hot body. Let’s just accept that it’s true and always going to be true. We’re going to write think-pieces when she turns 50 (in 4 years!) and 54 and 58 talking about how beautiful she By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 03:20 pm
Oscars 2015 Common & John Legend: Oscar's Best Dudes (Duana) Or, as they were inexplicably referred to during the call-up, Lonnie Lynn and John Stephens. Maybe your real name has to be on your Oscar? I mean, what do you say? They had already won the night, and the award, with the performance of Glory which gets more intense and By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 01:21 pm
Oscars 2015 Michael Keaton, Sean Penn, and Alejandro González Iñárritu: Oscar boys being boys Everything about the Best Picture win for Birdman was a little odd. I’m not one of those people who hated the film – in fact I thought it was great. But the whole weird round-robin guyfest on the acceptance stage gave me a bit of a stomach ache. First of By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 12:47 pm
Oscars 2015 Julianne Moore: Oscars Most Beloved Winner A couple of friends individually told me this weekend that they thought the Oscars were lacking a certain excitement this year (they also told me collectively that it was too warm for the outfit I was wearing so what do they know). I wondered whether it was because there wasn’ By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 11:17 am
Oscars 2015 Oprah: Most Oprah Disapproval O had some big smiles on last night, and why not, at first? She was going to see her film recognized for its achievements, even if the academy considered them perhaps smaller than she did, and frankly, she was going to go be Oprah in public, which is something she By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 10:28 am
Oscars 2015 Patricia, Meryl, JLo, and Feminism on Oscar Night I did not see that coming from Patricia Arquette. I thought that, if she made a ‘statement’ in her speech, which we all knew she was going to get to do, that it would be about women, and how it’s hard to be a mother, and respecting the quiet By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 09:52 am
Oscars 2015 Dakota Johnson & Melanie Griffith at the Oscars OOOF. You know when a night does not go the way you planned? Like you never imagine that on the night of the prom you’ll break your ankle or get pinkeye or have a breakup on your birthday? That’s what happened to Dakota Johnson, who looked smoking hot By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 08:38 am
Oscars 2015 Lady Gaga & Julie Andrews Charm the Oscars If you’re going to be a culture vulture you’re going to get tired. It’s an occupational hazard. Seasons are long, the same people promote the same projects forever so you feel like they don’t give you a chance to miss them…and you get jaded. Or By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 07:48 am
Oscars 2015 Kerry Washington at the Oscars: A Red Carpet Stalwart It’s almost like you can write the script yourself by now, right? Kerry Washington will show up probably perfectly on time. Her dress will be in a shade of pink or purple or mauve. This time it was champagne blush that had her join ranks with Zoe Saldana and By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 06:48 am
