The Good:
Who are you, gorgeous Anita Briem? And where can I get your flawless Grecian goddess gown?
Did you really think that Charlize Theron and Stuart Townshend were going to look bad? Seriously.
Easy, breezy, beautiful dress on Emmanuelle Chirqui.
Mika. Stripes. It's a good thing.
I really wish that Rashida Jones's dress either had both its straps or was strapless, but her looks is still a great balance between lovely and casual.
Normally, I would find it disconcerting to see a woman like Rosanna Arquette in a dress that looks made for a little girl...but damn, she looks great. Even if she's doing the pee-pee stance.

The Bad:
Amber Valetta fails to shine in awkwardly cut gold...lame?

I really don't know how I feel about [a woman in the White House]. I see the positive parts of it. But, you know, I think there's something incredible about a First Lady. That, to me, is a woman in the White House. It's sort of like being parents to the United States, and she takes on the role of mother and confidante and care-giver. Standing behind every powerful man, there's a powerful woman...I don't want to say no, because that doesn't sound very open-mined. But do I want it to be Hillary? No, I don't think so.

Also, we learn Angie is married to a former football player with whom she likes to vacation in Las Vegas, was discovered by David Hasselhoff — "please don't make it sound cheesy, because that's not what it was" — wears silk pajamas that are lined in cashmere, took the stage during the Republican National Convention, loves to shop, would like to have another child but is "waiting on God," has a four-year-old daughter with a pet gecko that totally grosses her out although she is "confident that at any point she will be into Christian Louboutin instead of the lizard," and credits her high school cheerleading coach with instilling in her the confidence to realize she was "not a complete idiot."

Just because I'm friendly, and I like to guffaw when I laugh, and have a cold beer and hang out with my husband and my girlfriends, doesn't mean that I'm not just as intelligent as someone from, let's say, Manhattan.

Anyway, the writer, Amy Spencer, mysteriously fails to mention Fred Thompson, which could be because she, too, is just as intelligent as someone "from Manhattan," or more likely, because she asked Angie about the election and Angie was like, "huh? Oh no I was planning on endorsing Pat Tillman..."
