If The Dress Fits, Wear It

There's some kind of award show coming up. I think I heard about somebody bringing us the up-to-the minute red carpet news. I think this show deals with television programs. There's the Tony Awards, the Oscar Awards and the Emmy Awards. I don't know which one of those is for television programs.

But you can be assured, once the big event starts, old (ancient) nasal voiced Joan Rivers and her otherwise unemployable daughter will pontificate on every outfit. Who ever said that the Rivers duo were fashionable themselves? I don't think they possess any special qualifications to make intelligent comments about multimillionaire fashion designers' gowns.

And who the heck even remembers last years gowns that caused such "oooh's and aaah's". As far as I'm concerned, if a gal looked good in it last year and still looks good in it then wear it again. That's what normal people do. Unless it's a wardrobe malfunction, most people couldn't tell you what even one drop dead gorgeous actress wore last year.

Now if the gal wore the dress last year and can't fit in it this year.....that's worth noticing. But I doubt many of the commentators will pick up on that because they probably can't fit into last year's outfit either.

By now you can probably tell that I'll be watching something else when those award shows come on. I think it's important to be recognized by your peers for a job well done. Newspapers give each other awards, radio and television stations have awards, local governments give each other awards, schools give awards and the list goes on and on. But none of those award presentations are televised in their entirety.

Gosh I wonder what suit and tie David Hartman wore when he got an award, or David Hampton, or Madison's "Queen Mary". Does it matter? Not hardly.

Awards within an industry are quite worthwhile. Some ought to be publicized and others should not.

Will an award make me change my viewing habits? Nope. There are lots of shows I don't like that other people think are wonderful. Good for the other people, if you like it watch it. And if the dress fits, get your money's worth.....wear it.
