The Week in Review

In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week.

I’m doing a big Jewels of the Month series: a 14-day Valentine’s Day/anti-Valentine’s Day countdown. I’ve got something for everyone, alternating between Valentine’s Day gift ideas for the lovebirds and anti-Valentine’s Day designs suitable for self-gifting.

• Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #1 of 14. Good things come in little heart pendants packed with diamonds.
• Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #2 of 14. “You hear this finger? Oh it’s upside down. Here, let me turn this motherfucker up right now.“
• Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #3 of 14. I want to wear red sequins and ruby-eyed skulls.
• Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #4 of 14. When you have zero fucks to give about Cupid.
• Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #5 of 14. Rubies for National Wear Red Day.
• Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #6 of 14. Inspired by Beyonce’s “Formation.”

Also, last Sunday, I handed out my Best Dressed and Wear What You Want honors for attendees of the Screen Actors Guild Awards.  Before I chose Alicia Vikander and Carol Burnett, respectively, I did linger over Susan Sarandon, seen here with her daughter Eva Amurri.

I do appreciate a white pantsuit and good cleavage at any age. Plus, my hair guru Keith Carpenter sometimes works with Susan, so I always keep an eye out for her just in case she has a Keith ‘do. I thought it was cute that Susan and Eva were a little matchy in the way they bared some skin at the waist. Basically, I thought she looked great, but, for me, she wasn’t particularly daring. For other people, she was too daring: There was a big outcry over the fact that Susan’s décolletage was on display while she introduced the In Memoriam tribute. Obnoxious television personality Piers Morgan just had to tweet about it.

Would Susan Sarandon wear this to a funeral? No.

Um, what? She wasn’t at a funeral. She was at an awards show. I suspect that an actress who was younger than Susan’s 69 years could get up there showing side-boob and not get called out for it. SMH. I’m so bored with people policing women’s bodies.
