Seems impossible to avoid the Oscar drama, it’s everywhere! Over my morning coffee, I scanned the usual yearly projections of winners and long shots in the New York Times.

Back at my laptop, I saw a blog post entitled “How David Rockwell’s Oscar Set Makes Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin Funnier” by Alissa Walker, that discusses the role of the set and focuses on the Swarovski curtain, appropriately named Crystal.  ” . . . the star of the show is still the 100,000-Swarovski crystal curtain, but 16 additional inches of topaz crystals were added to add a level of smokiness that matched this year’s color scheme.”

Then I read the SheFinds blog,”Oscar Nominees, Take Note: Our No-Fail Guide To Black Tie Dresses” that reviewed some of the past mistaken choices, contrasting them with the hit choices.  Seemed to me that few of the stars wearing the dresses wore much jewelry.

So with all this in mind, I entertained the fantasy of each of the stars wearing Swarovski jewelry — mine of course! — in what would become a blinding television extravaganza.

Earrings seemed to be the thing during the award season Oscar run-ups, so my fantasy features the long-shot, long-necked Emily Blunt, perhaps wearing my Peacock Earrings, woven with vintage Swarovski Atlas stones, contemporary CRYSTALLIZED — Swarovski Elements beads and gold-plated seed beads.

I can easily picture the always-tasteful and regal Helen Mirren in my elegant Queen’s Collar, trimmed with vintage Swarovski beads.

And if filling a neckline is out this year, a large, sparkly bracelet, such as my Double-Sided Cuff, replete with CRYSTALLIZED – Swarovski Elements, would not be amiss, gleaming on the wrist of Sandra Bullock, touted as winner in the best actress category, as she accepts the Oscar.

Not Harry Winston diamonds, but I think these Swarovski pieces are a lot more captivating — don’t you?

The new decade has begun, as have new resolutions, new diets and exercise programs.  But most of all, the beginning of each new year brings the awards season.  I checked the list of nominees for the Golden Globe, SAG, and Critics Choice awards, forming a fantasy wish list involving which of the nominees should wear my jewelry on the red carpets — especially the Oscars!

My hands down favorite actresses, Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren, are each not classically, celebrity-popular, drop-dead gorgeous.  As excellent actresses they have in common the talent, intelligence and craft to become whichever role they play — from gorgeous to school-marmish to hariden.

It would be such an honor, for instance, to have Ms. Streep wear my classic bib-style necklace of jet CRYSTALLIZEDtm — Swarovski Elements appliqued with vintage margarita crystals.

Having played a queen, Helen Mirren would look classic and elegant wearing a woven collar — the Queen’s Collar, again CRYSTALLIZED — Swarovski Elements, woven with vintage emerald cut stones.

One of the most popular actresses in the market is Sandra Bullock, who, like Meryl Streep, this year is nominated for two of her films. Here is a lovely, talented actress and savvy business woman we all can admire, who would look perfect on the red carpets wearing Diorissimo, very old Swarovski stones set off by 24-k gold plated seed beads.

Julianne Moore is also a terrific actress and a real beauty — I love the red hair!  She often wears purple to set off her mane, but in my fantasies I see her in a black dress paired with my Amethyst Conchita necklace.

I was  transfixed when I saw Marion Cotillard playing Edith Piaf and then saw how lovely and dramatic she really is when she appeared to collect her Oscar for it.  I can see her at this years’ awards wearing my Evening in Rio collar.

Carey Mulligan was charming in “An Education” and I can see her waif-like face set off by a pair of bold, dramatic earrings, such as my  vintage blown glass and gold-plated beads earrings .

Gabourey Sidibe is a big young woman and would look fabulous in many of my necklaces, but I particularly would like to see her wear my “Games People Played” necklace, a big necklace crocheted of vintage gaming pieces.

Who doesn’t look great in pearls, particularly fine ones in interesting shapes?  Even Queen Victoria did!  Emily Blunt in all her elegance and drama would look fabulous with my “Chicken Feet” necklace setting off her face.  

So, how about some feedback on fantasies?  Want to add to my Wish List with suggestions of your own?
