(This was dated 1/28/08 - prior to last year's Academy Awards)...Julie Christie has slammed Hollywood's leading ladies for gracing the Academy Awards red carpet wearing borrowed clothes and jewelry. The Oscar winner (Darling, 1966), who is nominated in the Best Actress category for next month's awards (she lost), claims true glamour is about creating your own look. Christie says, "It's product placement now. 'Who are you wearing, from where have you borrowed your jewels? "I don't know where the glamour is in admitting you've borrowed your jewelry, or you've been put together by a stylist." And Christie reveals she won't be wearing an expensive frock and gems when she attends the Hollywood bash: "How about not wearing jewels? Would that be so terrible? And what's wrong with fakes? They glitter, that's the point isn't it?". This - coming from one of the top pop fashion icons of all time. Here, here! Take notice, Hollywood actors! No wonder Christie's my favorite actress of all-time; I completely concur with her. Think - if fashion wasn't such a big to-do, Joan Rivers and her daughter wouldn't have jobs interviewing people on the red carpet. And really...would that be such a loss?
