More Right Stuff --- Day 5/327

1.
 
Metalia

2.

Reeeeeeeally Deep Vee's

3.

Combination of the two

No matter what their look, Ciwt enjoyed Felicity Huffman's description of what it likely took to achieve it: 

"It takes a village, I'm not kidding. Of course it starts with a shower -- yoga and then a shower and then you've got your stylist and your hair person and your makeup person and Spanx and I don't know… fake hair," Huffman said, before adding that her husband brings her glam squad total to five people. "He makes drinks for everyone!"

Got Junk (Food)? --- Day 5/321

Walk: No (again), Rain (again)
Distance: 0, small yoga


Between the shut in weather, practicing French online and the loooong Golden Globes, Ciwt is beginning to hop Paris has a huuge supply of junk food.  Back tomorrow with her Golden Globe comments and awards....
