To celebrate tonight’s Academy Awards — and console myself for not being there this year — I’m reminiscing about my personal Oscar fashion archive. Picking up where I left off in Part I,<\/a> Part II begins in 2006. Beauty-wise, I skipped the faux-ny tail again and, thankfully, opted for straight hair.<\/p>\n

I had enough going on with my beaded, peacock feather fan!<\/p>\n

I had admired an emerald-green gown by designer Zang Toi that was created for the runway with a extravagant train adorned with peacock feathers and a beaded peacock pattern. I knew I couldn’t manage that in real life, so Zang made me the green gown without the wild train, and transferred the train’s theme to the fan.<\/p>\n

This was one of my favorite Oscar looks …<\/p>\n

… even before the bright green helped me spot myself in the background of George Clooney’s red-carpet photos! You can see I was trying to hide my roving eyes behind that fan, but not succeeding too well.<\/p>\n

Hey, at least I didn’t act like this guy to the right of George.<\/p>\n
