Are you a good wingwoman? (or man)

I've always considered myself to be an excellent wingwoman—up for anything (especially the unnecessary ONE more drink at 4am), and I always follow girl code. If a friend calls "dibs" on a guy, not only will I back off, but I will think of a clever way to get the two of them talking. (Well, that was more pertinent to my single days.) But, over Memorial Day weekend, I was the worst wingwoman EVER. Most of the girls in our group were single, so I wanted to prove that I could hang with 'em and be the life of the party just as I typically am—er—used to be. 

Saturday night we went to a fun seafood restaurant, The Boathouse, in East Hampton. And even though I was feeling quite boozy before I ate, I was stone cold sober after dinner was over. (I blame it on the bread basket and two huge pieces of cheesecake our waiter gave us for FREE.) Even so, I was bound and determined to snap with it and get my party on! Or not. Ten minutes into our car ride home, I fell asleep. Once we got back to our house, I pepped up just enough to eat a s'mores (or three) and went to bed. LAME. I'll save you the long, boring story, but Sunday night was much of the same. I feel asleep AT.THE.BAR. in the middle of a drinking game. Yeah, I can't wait to see those pics! (Girls, don't think I'm naive enough not to know that you pounced on that photo op!)

Friends, this is my formal apology. I swear never to be such a lame wingwoman ever again. Next time I'm out, I'm totally going to be Cameron Diaz in The Sweetest Thing. (Love that movie—I also referenced it here.) Well, she ends up falling in love with the dude she tries to hook Selma Blair up with, but that's besides the point. She's super-fun and her intentions were good. 

And even though Dumb and Dumber is one of my all-time favorite movies, I don't know if I'd want Harry or Lloyd to be my wingman if I was a dude. They are hilarious as hell, but both screw each other over royally for a girl. (How funny is it when Lloyd does this to Harry?) Hey, not that I really blame them though—Lauren Holly is way hottt. 

So tell me: Are you a good wingwoman/man? What are the Do's and Don'ts when you're out with friends? And what celeb would you want as a your wing-person?

Golden Globes: Fashion Recap

Who watched the Golden Globes last night? I tuned in, but periodically flipped to Keeping Up With The Kardashians—the dramz sucks me in every time. Anyway, there were lots of fashion hits, and a few misses. Here's a quick red carpet recap:

January Jones looked a bit overdone at first glance, but she ended up being one of my favorites of the night. I loved her dramatic ruffle sleeve and bold red lips. She's just so darn gorgeous, and you know that's saying something coming from me 'cause I don't give props to blondes often.

Sandra Bullock gets my vote for best hair—those side waves are beau-TEE-ful! 

It would be impossible for Marion Cotillard to look bad (and her makeup did look gorge), but I was just so-so about her dress. I like the roman shoulder style, but the high slit and lace slip look underneath isn't really working for me. It's like make a decision: Do you want a short dress or a long one?

Cameron Diaz rocked in red! This is the work of Rachel Zoe I do believe. The sleeves and draping in front is cool and classic. Two thumbs up, Cam.

Christina Hendricks has killller curves and she wasn't afraid to show them off in this Christian Siriano gown. I wanted to love it, but I just don't. Strapless is hard to pull off on most people, and with cha chas like hers, it's even harder. Bonus points for wearing her hair down though!

Mariah Carey never gets it right. Ever. It should be illegal for people with millions in the bank to look so shiteous all the time. Ick.

I've loved Emily Blunt ever since The Devil Wears Prada. I'm digging this blush colored gown—it's not amaaazing, but the fit is good and it looks pretty against her porcelain skin.

I can't say Penelope's Spanish-inspired gown was a favorite, but she's just so beautiful. It's like, kind of ridiculous. And she's married to Javier Bardem. Some bitches have it all, don't they?

So tell me: What were your fashion hits and misses of the night?
