THE ENEVELOPE PLEASE...NOUVEAU'S VERSION OF THE OSCARS!

THE ENVELOPE PLEASE... The Oscar season is in full swing and not to be outdone, we present our own stylin' awards which we call "The Starcky" after famous furniture fashion auteur, Phillipe Starck. AND THE WINNER FOR BEST NEWCOMER IS... The Blanca Coffee Table The competition was tight this year, but the Blanca coffee- and side tables win hands down. This homage to the classic mid-century design by Isamu Noguchi, about whose work one critic crowed "(it) blends into and complements its surroundings." Time will tell if the Blancas have legs to stand the test of time. Will the Blancas go the way of child-star-turned-adult-superstar, two-time Academy Award Winner, Jodie Foster? Or will they burn out young, turning into a Hollywood has-been by the ripe old age of 24, like that other Disney child star, Lindsey Lohan? You know what we think here at Nouveau-we think Starcky winner Blanca has Jodie written all over it. Plus, the best part of this years winner for best newcomer is the price! You won't have to steal jewelry to stay fashion forward with The Blanca. The coffee table is $215.00 and the coordinating side tables are $170.00 each! BEST UPHOLSTERY THE BERKLEY SOFA The Berkley, with its classic lines and crisp tailoring can transform from traditional to transitional to a contemporary setting with the change of the fabric and toss pillows. Like multiple Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, she can transform herself with each film role with costumes, makeup and dialect. The Berkley fast became not only our best seller for the year, but the manufacturer's too and just as Streep is as of late the go-to actress to guarantee a film's blockbuster status even during the summer when mindless flicks vile for the top spot, this classic sofa whips blockbuster's butt. BEST RUG THE CORAL SHAG The Coral Shag rug combines the hip textured of the 70's with today's trendiest colors including apple green, pumpkin and teal. Maybe John Travolta, a two time Oscar award nominee should let his true colors show and go au naturel for his next film role. Instead of covering his mullet with bad rugs, Travolta might finally win the golden statue with this updated look. I guess "Grease" is no longer the word. Maybe, Rogaine should be the new slogan for this Hollywood favorite. If you love movies like we love movies here at Nouveau checkout the latest fundraiser for the Maryland Film Festival. It's a going to be a great event and a worthy cause that helps raise funds to get more films made here in Baltimore!

Or has the cast and show slowly become installed in the conscious of America. Perhaps the 8 million viewers of the premiere were just tuning into see what the hype was all about and after viewing this train wreck of a series will tune out in coming weeks? I guess, one way we will see is with the release of a book penned by the breakout star of the reality series: the vertically challenged Guido juice head hunter, Snookie. Well, at least she can write? Or can she? Do you think she was sober while spewing out details of shore advice while sitting at a desk and pondering her life's unanswered questions? To fake bake of not to fake bake.
