Ringlets and roses are a few of my favorite things, but since not all curls are made alike, one has to be trenchant by wrapping their hair in opposite directions, which will give them that much sought after withershins look. This is the latest craze and it created a brouhaha on the red carpet this year with many starlets adopting this vogue statement. It takes practice to get this right and no novice can do it, but the importance of being in style is the only way to reach the ceiling, especially in an industry that is known to cause so much grief. Sure, you also need the right shoes that match your outfit, as that is the only way to achieve harmony, so you can remain composed.
Having the right jewelry will become the feather in your cap, as the competition never ends and it is better to have this done yesterday than having to scurry out like the engine that could, at the last minute to find something. Everyone who is nominated should put some thought into what they will say at their acceptance speech. Always remember that the term red carpet is not a thingamajig, as this dates back to Ancient Greece, where it was immortalized in the play Agamemnon, that was written by Aeschylus the Father of Greek Tragedy, when Clytemnestra, Agamemnon’s wife, speaks of a floor of crimson broideries to spread for the King’s path. Clytemnestra is not a happy camper when her husband finally arrives home from the Trojan War, bringing his concubine Cassandra with him. She rolls out the crimson carpet to convince King Agamemnon to walk into his death, feeling that he was evil and deserved to die. She used heavy robes to trap him in his bath which held him like the tentacle of an octopus and then she hacked him up with an axe. She also kills Cassandra and then she sits down to enjoy some tea.

Thank you Eugenia, that is very kind of you to say that. I am pretty safe here in my house and on the rare occasions when I do go out, I am staying safe. I hope that you do the same.
