What does the Daytona 500 and The Oscars have in common . . NOTHING . . except they are both on TV today . . . at the moment it's raining so no checkered flag has even dropped, the commentators have "stalled" (excuse the pun) trying to think of 3 hours of filler. . . so I have switched over The Countdown to the Red Carpet.
I am a fan of both - so I will be channel changing ('cause a DVR, is something we have never gotten around to getting, go figure) Anyway. . . why you ask - the attraction . . well the NASCAR thing comes from my resent design work with two of the men that will be circling the track, and I want them to do well ! Shawna Robinson is also a friend of mine - former driver turned designer - who, until recently, held the title of "Only Woman to Win the Pole in a Nationwide, Formerly Busch Series Race" and that was back in '94 and a "really big deal!" - my husband keeps reminding me !! Danica Patrick has now joined Shawna as a woman making history in NASCAR . . So, needless to say . . I know more about NASCAR than I ever did. The Oscars . . . well, what girl doesn't like to watch a little red carpet walk of amazing fashion, shoes, jewels and hot men?!
So back and forth I go . . waiting and watching back stories . . might as well pull out the lap top . . .

I am still pondering a common thread. . . and it's hard to find one. .
hum . . . checkered flag - black and white - the little black dress?
I think I'll go Black and White . . . no rhyme or reason here . . just pretty images I love and came across today that I though I would share while waiting for the rain to stop at Daytona . . . and Billy Crystal to come on . . .
loving b/w tweed, and a good gingham . . the boutique hotel "the club" in Singapore
The next time I'm in Singapore, it's a must . .
a dress I wish I could pull off
my favorites of red carpet past
i have no idea where I found this . . but I love it,
graham and brown wall paper, used it in past . . love it.
love the floor, love the dog, love the natural light
love the headboard
love the mix of pieces, love the bike in the room, makes it real
it appeals to my "I could have lived in the 50's" side
want in my powder room
