The title was irresistible – This Just In!!! Read All About It!!! That was yesterday, on one of my favorite sites, written by the incredible Tish Jett, A Femme d’Un Certain Age. And the hot item?

Give me more Meryl. Give us all more Meryl.  Oh, I don’t mean it literally, though I’m enthralled watching Meryl Streep cast in any role. And thanks to cable television, I spent much of my wet weekend catching up on films I’d never seen in the theater. I thoroughly enjoyed the Oscar winning actress in […]

Women of style as well as accomplishment

March 9, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

I loved the color palettes, and I loved Mo’Nique’s nod to Hattie McDaniel in her blue dress and white flower in the hair. And speaking of nods, pop over to […]
