Throwback Thursday: Pearl Choker at 2006 Oscars

March 13, 2014 by WendyB

I wore a pearl choker to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party this year.

I wore the choker to the same event in 2006. I was wearing an emerald-green Zang Toi gown which I further accessorized with a beaded, peacock-feather fan and a tux-clad MrB.

We also went to the Oscar ceremony that year, and I managed to lurk seductively behind George Clooney on the red carpet. Going through some photos recently, I realized that I also lurked behind Maggie Gyllenhaal, though not as spectacularly as I did with George. You can just make out a sliver of my dress here.

I’m the headless green dress on the far left.

More recently, I wore the choker on New Year’s Eve.

I really like the pearls layered with other necklaces, the way I wore it this month. I wonder why it took me so long to do that? But I think cats should avoid layering.

My cat is fancier than your cat.

FitzRoy looks purrfect with just the pearls and his fur coat!

    Your cat is indeed fancier, and much more sophisticated too. New Yorkers, they has it.

      Sometimes I wonder what Fitz thinks of it all 😀

    Lol, Vizzini would rip my face off if I put any jewelry on him! You look gorgeous in that green dress!

      I can’t say FitzRoy was very impressed. Which is too bad, I really want to get him a little harness so he can experience the great outdoors!

    ha ha! Your cat and you look brilliant! That green dress is gorgeous! The colour is stunning on you.

    I don’t know what I would have done being so close to George Clooney. Probably pee my pants. Not cool on the red carpet.

      They’d be paging maintenance: “Clean-up on the red carpet!”
