gearing up for the globes

Yep, this is the big weekend!

In just two days, we will all sit glued in front of the TV and see who wore the best dress has won the coveted awards and who was too drunk to make a proper speech made us catch our breathe in our throat and choke back a sob, with their thoughtful and heartfelt acceptance speeches.

Even more then celebrity appearances, I wish for a parade of vintage dresses on the red carpet (OK I would settle for even just three great vintage dresses, or honestly, even one - one really, really fab one - to remind the world just how fabulous vintage is).

Other girls watch just to ohhh and aww at the glitz and glam and the entire fashion world is as I type and as you read - in a frenzy of last minute preperations getting the lucky ones who will attend ready to go!

I won't be there this year but the National Post has asked me to participate in their Golden Globes live blog which will run my twitter feed (@shrimptoncoutur on twitter) during the red carpet and during the event itself. I will be tweeting about the fashion part of the event along with Nathalie Atkinson (@NathAt on twitter), journalist extraordinaire and ET Canada's Cheryl Hickey will chip in for the paper edition out Tuesday!

Expect tons of dyslexic spelling mistakes commentary from me, and astute,witty &much more intelligent observations from Nathalie!

Tweet you Sunday as the red carpet begins! !
