I hope my absence from the blogging world did not alarm you. Believe me, I wasn't slacking, nor was getting reconstructive surgery on my bunions (at least not for the whole time). What was I doing, you ask? Well, I was getting ready for Award Season, one of my fave times to glue myself to the boob tube (a retro vintage term for the T.V). I'm hoping Urban Woman will be your go-to blog to check out the fashion of the stars, Oscar hopefuls, and my personal bets on who is going to go home a hero with a shiny new medal around his/her neck. Being a member of the Academy allows me to get some inside information that few others are privy to...let's just say Ryan Seacrest can't get close to my status even when he's wearing his most discrete platforms.
Let's begin by reviewing some of the shiniest moments on the Golden Globes red carpet!
Here you can see America's Sweetheart Reese Weatherspoon sporting Urban Woman's favourite trend: The plunging V. Reese's choice red for her second gown was extra slimming because when she stepped onto the red carpet she virtually disappeared, taking at least 6 sizes directly off the waistline-the paparazzi couldn't get enough of this Illegally Blonde Bombshell.
In this pic you can see Eva Mendes, J-Lo's red haired cousin, sporting a tooth enamel-white ultra sensual floor length gown. It became fairly obvious to me that the embellishment on the front of the dress is to camouflage Eva's never been waxed Disco Bush. These clever tactics are what has kept this starlet around long enough to date Hollywood hunk Ryan Gosling.
These trends will obviously continue to the Oscars-you will likely notice higher than high heels, man-perms and celebrities with fragrances. My trend intuition is saying that merkin fascinators are going to be the biggest buzz around town. Keep your eyes peeled-men, women, children-no one will be left behind!

Here are my predilictions for the Oscars
Kristen Stewart-Best Actress: Breaking Dawn Part 4
Kristen really does it all in this hot teen flic. Her ability to display a wide range of emotion from melancholy all the way to sad is inspiring.
Oprah Winfrey-The Oprah Winfrey Lifetime Achievement Award brought to you by Oprah Winfrey
If anyone deserves an award for lifetime achievement is our beloved Oprah-if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have a vision board in my room filled with inspirational quotations.
Osama Bin Laden-Best Actor, in a Supporting Role: Zero Dark Thirty
Osama plays himself, only dead. My mind was blown at how still he stayed while he was dead, even when I looked close he didn't flinch.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter-Best Picture
The buzz surrounding Daniel Day Lewis' performance is sure to get a nod at the Oscar's this year. This film is a mesmerising tale of an American President who travels to transylvania for an epic battle. It'll keep you on the edge of your fiscal cliff!
Happy viewing!
Until next time,
Urban Woman
