"I love second-hand shops. Or I make my own clothes because I’ve never found the kinds of things I liked."

-- Helen Mirren

I know so many people that have great luck in second hand stores. Have you ever purchased a great find?

Here's a random group of celebrities for you.  Helen Mirren, Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige all arrived at the Letterman show last night.  Helen looks pretty funny trying to pose for a picture while talking on her cell phone...and they say women are good at multi-tasking :)

Boy! Today is a great day for celebrity pictures. All of my favorites were busy over the last few days including Kate Winslet,Famke Janssen and Helen Mirren attending the 6th Annual BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards. Stunning!!! Accompanying these ladies on the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza red carpet were:

• Denzel Washington
• Jennifer Connelly
• Jodie Foster
• Thandie Newton

Helen Mirren was offered a treatment of Botox to help her look her best for the Oscars. She turned it down because she is afraid of needles (and because she DOESN'T NEED IT).

'I'm very vain, which initially made playing Elizabeth Windsor in all those tweeds pretty daunting,' she said. 'But I'm not fond of all those needles and scalpels. I'll try to get away with make-up, jewelery and a nice frock.' (source)

The most interesting part of this story is she admitted that those that attended the award show got a goodie bag filled with vouchers for cosmetic surgery procedures.  WOW! That is some gift bag! I wonder who took them up on their offer...
