MaryAnn tonight is wearing…

…boxers by Hanes and a t-shirt by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Consider this your Oscars red carpet open thread. 7:30PM: It just occurred to me that until women’s eveningwear is as subdued as a man’s tuxedo, women will never be allowed to talk about just their work on the red carpet. Conversely, until men start … more…

rabbit ears in 2010

It’s back to the future, I guess: I’m picking up ABC over the air now — not a sentence I would ever have expected to utter in the second decade of the 21st century — so I’ll be able to watch the Oscars tonight (no thanks to the whiny ass babies at ABC and Cablevision). … more…

still gonna be snowed in tomorrow, I suspect…

…so I let the publicist know that I’m not gonna get to Thursday’s screening of Bong Joon-ho’s Mother, which I’d previously RSVPed for.
