To change the subject, Robin Givhan on Golden Globe fashion. She ends with some helpful tips for men:
Ordinarily, the gentlemen at such events are given an aesthetic pass. After all, their job is not difficult. Wear a classic tuxedo. Comb your hair. This year, however, those basic requirements proved too cumbersome for some men. Naveen Andrews of "Lost" could not be bothered to comb his hair; it was a snarled rat's nest. Clint Eastwood paired a perfectly lovely Giorgio Armani tuxedo with a gray bow tie, a combination that made him look as if he should be dealing blackjack on a Mississippi riverboat. And Philip Seymour Hoffman, who wore a pale blue tie with his black formal wear, looked so rumpled, unkempt and unsightly, that one wanted to lead an intervention. Phillip, you were so splendid in "Capote," don't let yourself go this way. A red carpet extravaganza does not require insightful questioning, thoughtful commentary or even cohesive speechmaking. But at the very least, a man should look as if he took time to bathe.
