Um. I'm going to say something fashion-related here:
White people need to stop wearing colors like beige and oatmeal. It looks really crappy on just about every white person ever. (There are exceptions but...) It seems to be really popular lately with persons of pallor who attend awards shows and it needs to stop. Plus it's boring. Why not try wearing an actual color like peacock blue or teal or wine red? (I actually don't like pastels because I think pastels are meh, but I do realize that there are white people who can make them work.) Beige tends to wash pale folks out like crazy and washed out is not a good look on anyone, no matter how aesthetically appealing they may be. Also: black is equally boring but tends to look decent so...meh.
All this and I didn't even watch the Golden Globes last night.
(I actually find it sort of baffling the number of people who apparently have no sense of what colors look good on them. It's not that hard. I mean, I have been told I have a really good color sense, but there are colors I love that would look really crappy on me so...what the everloving hell? Can't you just look in a mirror and go "Oh, yuck!"? Or, barring that, don't you have trustworthy friends who will stop you from wearing colors that make you look like you just died of the space plague? Because if not you need to go friend shopping and then take that new friend clothes shopping.)

I like lime green and fuschia and purple and the occasional blue.
Most reds, oranges and yellows make me look jaundiced. Yuck.

See, those are fun colors. Yay. I love almost all colors of green, most purples (the richer the better) and deep blues.
(That's because most white folks look really bad in those colors.) Personally, I can do rusts (which I love), some burnt oranges (which I like), and very dark reds (which I don't usually bother with). I know there are some shades of pink I look good in but I don't really like pink so...*shrug*.
