Wednesday February 9th, 2011 16:54 (apparently) I rule at Twitter

A very quick one to say thank you to Peerindex and The Telegraph, for listing me at number three (THREE!!) in a list of the Top 50 Fashion Insiders on Twitter.

Fashion ‘insider’ is probably pushing it now I’m more into the beauty scene, but it’s absolutely lovely to be recognised amongst so many amazing people (even if I think something went awry somewhere down the line with the calculations).

See the full list of fashionista tweeters here. There are some amazing people on the list, including my old Catwalk Queen partner in crime, Iso, but also a few notable omissions. These lists are never perfect though, so for now I’ll enjoy my 20 seconds of twitter fame.

Monday January 18th, 2010 15:09 Gemma’s highly predictable Golden Globes fave

Christina Hendricks appears backstage at the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards

I am convinced that Christina Hendricks is not human. She is a fembot, based on Jessica Rabbit and made specifically to appeal to men and fat women who wish they looked like her (*cough*). Look at that waist! Waists like that just don’t exist any more! I also love her hair slightly longer and straighter. It’s enough to make me reach for the Nice ‘n’ Easy. I have the same pale skin…maybe I could pull it off*?

Speaking of pale skin, I actually don’t think much of the colour of this Christian Siriano gown (what is it with celebs wearing nothing but black or washed-out nudes and peaches?) but I love the shape, I love the ruching and I love Christina for wearing something so dramatic and not just going for slimming black jersey or something. Unsurprisingly, she wins the Golden Globes fight for me.

Anna Paquin came a close second in Stella McCartney, but her shoes were all kinds of wrong.

11th Annual Warner Brothers And InStyle Golden Globe After-Party

Highly commended awards go to Drew Barrymore, Sigourney Weaver and Diane Kruger. I spent all morning putting lots more pics on The Nod if you’re interested.

*I couldn’t.
