These are photos of Christina Hendricks from a few days ago – she was at the LA Outfest premiere of her new film, Struck By Lightning, then she attended the closing night ceremony of the film festival. I don’t know who designed her outfit, but I don’t hate it. You know I feel for Christina – she’s so pretty, and she’s got that crazy body. Speaking as a fellow big-busted girl, I can say that personally, I am loathe to wear boob ruffles. They make me feel even more top-heavy. I understand that Christina is a lot more girly and frilly, so maybe she just felt like wearing ruffles and she didn’t care. Anyway, the film – it’s the high school dramedy that was written by and stars Chris Colfer, who plays a boy who blackmails his classmates into contributing to the school’s literary magazine. Christina plays Colfer’s character’s step-mother (I think). It actually looks like a somewhat cute movie.

Anyway, getting back to Christina. She’s up for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, and personally, I think she’s the frontrunner. After the Emmy noms came out last week, Christina issued a statement: “I’m so honored to be nominated in this category of truly awe inspiring actresses . And thrilled Mad Men is recognized for the fifth time.” Christina is up against The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi and Christine Baranski, Downton Abbey’s Joanna Froggatt and Maggie Smith, and Breaking Bad’s Anna Gunn. Now, I love Maggie Smith, Archie and Christine Baranski, but I really, really, REALLY want Hendricks to win. She did amazing work this year on Mad Men, and I would love to see the Emmys single out her performance.

The Hollywood Reporter is also on Hendricks-Emmy Watch – they had a nice story about how far Christina has come from the first time she came to the Emmys, in which no major designer would send her a dress because she wasn’t a size 0, to now where she’s already being wooed by major houses like Vivienne Westwood (she has a contract with Westwood’s jewelry line) and Versace – Versace even invited Christina to the Spring show in Paris and put her up in a hotel (all expenses paid), and Christina got a front-row seat at the show too. I think that’s great – it’s past time for major designers to really WANT to dress a celebrity who is bigger than a size 0.
