Swell Style: Emmy Dresses & An Old Spice Emmy

Did you hear the news? "Swell Guy," Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice Man, won an Emmy last night. WooHoo! Congratulations!!

Did you have a favorite look from the Emmys? I liked the softer, more natural hair styles. Claire Danes looked gorgeous....... which reminds me, have you seen her lash enhancer commercial? That woman's lashes are nuts.

I read that some people didn't like January Jones dress, but I loved her hair. It was shiny and non-helmet-y and had these sort of long piece-y pieces that really contrasted with all the roundness of the dress.

Kyra Sedgwick's purple dress was pretty and it appeared to have sort of texture to it - either velvety or crinkly. I wish I could see a close-up of the fabric.

Toni Collete's dress had an interesting pattern at the bottom. It was drama at the bottom and sweet at the top.

A lady picks a dress - she wants to feel pretty for a special night, powerful, beautiful, etc. In the morning she gets up and there she is, star of a Worst Dressed At the Emmys list. Sheesh, if she was so inclined, she actually could have used her phone to surf the web to learn that news while still wearing the dress.

Last night, before it was even dark here on the West Coast, I saw one of the GLEE ladies on just such a list. Oh, what do the list-makers know?  She felt pretty, she's AT THE EMMYS, (while you are stuck behind your keyboard)  let her enjoy her night.

What do you think? Would you listen to the listmakers or would you let your heart help you decide what to wear?

Swell Guys: Isaiah Mustafa Thinks I'm Swell

Remember when I wrote about Isaiah Mustafa,  aka "The Guy On the Horse", star of the Old Spice commercials, the other day? Well, this morning I found a comment from him on the post and he made me a video! My daughter, Sarah, and I just watched it about 10 times.

Swell Men: Isaiah Mustafa & Old Spice

Do you remember that Old Spice commercial from earlier this year, "Look at me... now look at your man..." with the handsome actor, Isaiah Mustafa? I read recently that he signed a talent deal with NBC. He's not tied to any specific project at this point - NBC wants to be sure that they get him before anyone else.

Old Spice is featuring Isaiah Mustafa in a new commercial that you can view here. It won't be available on national TV until the 7th of July, after it appears in theatres. So, that makes this an official *Sneak Peek*, I do believe.

Old Spice has certainly come a long way since my Grandpa started using it. Do you want to know a secret? I've been using their Cyprus deodorant/anti-perspirant ever since I reviewed. I love it.
