Every year during the aftermath of the holiday's when the now starts to fall and the chill sets in, we gather around to watch the shiny celebrities of music, movies, and television come together for a achievements they've made over the past year, yes everyone its award season. I love everything about this "season" I love watching the movies that are nominated, watching the interviews, but most of all I love the fashion. Last night the Oscar's awards were presented and as I watched the red carpet and listened to the actors/actresses interviews I noticed something different, women were not be asked about who they were wearing. Usually this is the first question that comes from the reporters mouth but not last night, what happened? That's when I noticed that instead of being asked about their dress they were being asked about their careers and their futures. I was so excited when I saw that they were being asked the same questions as their husbands. The only thing that caught on was that a lot of the women didn't know how to answer, maybe it was nerves or maybe it was because they had become so use to being asked their dresses that this was uncharted territory for most of them. As the interviews continued they finally came to one of my favorites Reese Witherspoon, she cleared up my confusion. Witherspoon mentioned a simple phrase #AskHerMore, as soon as I heard this hash tag I jumped on twitter and saw that it was trending! I was so excited to see that just these three words had started a movement that had not only taken over the award season but was being supported by viewers everywhere! The hash tag means that actresses are more then just their fashion choices, they are smart, funny, and goal oriented. Witherspoon explains that even though it is important to give the designers credit for their amazing dresses and designs, the nominees are pretty amazing too. I can't wait for future award seasons and to see where #AskHerMore turns up next.

Nice work, Jenna. A great topic. Nice use of photo -- but try putting it at the top of your post (stead of at the bottom). Also, if you move it to the left or right, the words will wrap around the photo. I didn't see any links in your post -- be sure to ALWAYS use links. You should've had plenty to choose from -- maybe link to a video of one of the actresses asking questions.
ReplyDeleteNice job of including the photo credit, too. (But be sure to tell us that's Reese Witherspoon).
Finally, just as in your stories, use shorter paragraphs!
Thank you for commenting! I went online to write my post last night and realized that the two links I had placed in this post were not being highlighted, they were clickable but you had to place the cursor over them. I was able to fix the problem this morning!
