Sweater up

It's that time of year again when people break out the sweaters and celebrate.

And Austin is doing just that in a Nordic snowflake knit number with some of the Donovan boyz at Showtime's Holiday Party.

But can it even compare to this stunner he wore to one of the OTH holiday parties?

 Total sweater-iffic!

And kudos to the Ray Donovan crew who scored a Writers Guild Award nomination!

 Happy Austin Friday!

Santa Baby

With just days before Christmas

You've gotta get the tree


Get vested


and leave some things to the professionals.

Happy Austin Friday!

It's Christmas time in the city

Hung by the Fire

(Like PG posted this morning, the Hallmark unveiled their Christmas ornaments for 2010. It's a big day for ornament collectors and while Hallmark had preview pictures, the ornaments are officially released for sale in stores for today. Do have to give big Thank You! to PG who gave me the heads up that PoP ornaments were coming last weekend.)

With pictures from LA in sweaters and shabby professional blazers (hint Austin spring for the patches on the elbows) it could be Christmas time in LA comparatively to the rest of the heat in the U.S. And sure that somewhere on some set there is snow and a Christmas special is being made.

So why not a little Christmas in July?

Of course it will be a green Christmas in a certain household, and whether they use a tree/Hanukkah bush that can be replanted, or one that can be recycled into organic gardening materials, you have to decorate it. But what with?

Homemade treats, popcorn and cranberries,, and those handmade kind from little hands that only get more precious as the years go by? Special family ornaments? Organic Candy Canes made without refined white sugar? Paper chains from recycled paper? A Longhorn ornament that some how finds its way to the backside of the tree, when it started out on the front?

Well here are some new options. Knowing a little more about a taller one recently there are a few more options like


or maybe this
...we know he's a big 'Pan fan.

Of course we know this one will be one there. Think it will be the tree topper?
One more question....does Papa Noel bring more presents when your papa's on the tree?

And Mr. Nichols now is the time to start looking for that ugly "very special" Christmas sweater before the rush.

What not to wear?

Christmas can bring all kinds of dilemna's like what to wear?

Fancy dress, dress up, dress down, sequin magic, kicky pair of black t-straps?
or
Mistletoe head, reindeer antlers, Christmas light earrings, jingle bell necklace?

Some people can just throw on a hat and go.


Others go traditional, really traditional.


And then there's always have one who pulls out the Christmas sweater to spread the cheer.

Decisions, Decisions.

Remember less than two days to get off the naughty list, or even better for some get on it.

Sorry for the delay, I was caught in a glittering incident that created a time warp.
