Emmy Fashion 2009

Cupcake Chowder presents:
Best Dressed at the Emmy's 2009

Our vote for best dressed goes to Project Runway star Heidi Klum, who proves that you can still look amazing at any size...even pregnant! She simply glows in this gorgeous black gown by Marchesa.1st runner-up goes to Holly Hunter, who totally rocked this George Hobeika silver dress. Ms. Hunter is a little too skinny for my taste, but she still looks amazing. The woman is 51 people!2nd runner-up goes to the lovely Dana Delaney. She wore the best color on the red carpet, when she stepped out in this purple Basil Soda number.3rd runner-up goes to Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh, who wore gold Marchesa. This dress is simple yet elegant, and fits her body perfectly.The Miss Congeniality award goes to the fabulous Toni Collette who is wearing Monique Lhuillier. The dress is beautifully made, and the hot pink color gives it a fun and flirty edge.
Most improved goes to actress Jenna Fisher. This is the first red carpet event that I have been wowed by The Office star. (The dress is by designer Reem Acra). Eat your heart out Pam!

Who was your favorite red carpet diva?

belly dancing

This month I decided to branch out and try something different, so my friends and I signed up for a belly dancing class. It's a great core workout, but more than that it feels like a small glimpse into another culture. If any Middle Eastern dance classes are being held in your community, I highly recommend taking one. I have had so much fun!

P.S. I love this photo of a young Jane Seymour from the Harryhausen cult flick Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. Maybe I can look like her when my class is done? Happy dancing!
