Honey, Dress up for an Awards Show

No wonder the Tony Awards get no respect. At least Fashion Police, the hilarious half hour hosted by Joan Rivers noticed and made mention of some of the fashion or lack of at this year's event. But when the nominees can't even bother to dress up it's no wonder the media ignores the most important night of the year.

I am speaking of Frances McDormand who picked up a Tony Award for best actress last Sunday in a denim jacket. It's June. It's New York. You don't need a jacket! If she was going to look that tacky she could have bedazzled the thing at least. You can get a kit for a few bucks at Walmart.


Oh yeah I get it, Frances you aren't the frilly type. You are earthy. So are my begonias but they are lying in dirt! And for heaven's sake do something with you hair! You are on national television. You don't have to look or sound as ridiculous as Christie Brinkley did in her beauty pageant get up or Whoopi Goldberg in he Ma Mabley get up. Let's not take things to the extreme but for heaven's sake find a tube of lip gloss and run a comb through your hair once a month or so.

The show was great this year but if someone was going to bother going on stage without dressing I would have preferred it to be Hugh instead of Frances. Still his dueling host segment with Neil Patrick Harris was priceless.
