At this point, the Golden Globes probably won't go as smoothly as previous years. Many actors won't be crossing the picket lines on Sunday to get to the show, but just because there won't be any strutting on the red carpet that doesn't mean we're not ready for our close up. Learn The Art of Posing and create your own red carpet this year with fun tips and lessons.

Lesson One, Cuddling a Pet: Stop walking and get in position. Bend and lift pet with a slight squat. Stand, cuddle, and pose!
Lesson Three, Celebrity Friend: Walk up separate and pose alone. Meet up with your friend. Link up and laugh out loud.
Lesson Five, Head to Shoulder: In position. Slightly turn head. Lower chin and give a sexy look!
Lesson Seven, Leg Cross: Stand in position. Slightly raise hands and lift leg. Gracefully turn your front ankle and pose.

Award show season may be over, but you can still get the red carpet bods of your favorite celebrities. Valerie Waters, trainer and food coach to the stars, has given FabSugar some insider tips.

Embrace the 90/10 Philosophy
Ninety percent of the time fill up on lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, veggies and lower fat dairy, and 10 percent award yourself with healthy treats like dark chocolate or frozen yogurt.

Commit to a Red Carpet Lifestyle
Establish goals on paper to get yourself ready for a big event.

Strategy Trumps Will Power
Always plan ahead to keep yourself on track so when temptations to indulge, like a late-night snack, arrive you’ll be prepared with healthy options.
Put Your Best Food Forward
Starting the day out with a healthy breakfast will give you more energy and keep your metabolism consistent. Try an 8-ounce glass of 100 percent grapefruit juice and ½ cup of low-fat yogurt topped with low-fat granola.

Always Think Positively
After all, you’re FABULOUS! Make it a point to compliment yourself once a day.

The Golden Globes Red Carpet: Bold Lips

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 10:51:49 -0800

I love that at this year's Golden Globes ladies weren't afraid to take a risk! It seems as though there were two different makeup looks last night. There were those who dazzled the red carpet with bold and deep red and burgundy lips, and then there were those who opted for a more natural, yet polished and refined look.

Of course the more fun beauty trend to write about are the risk takers such as Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Winslet and Sara Ramirez. I've loved reading your comments about all of these featured ladies and hearing what you think of their makeup and fashion faux pas and bravados.

Here's how to pull off the bold lip look so that you too can steal the beauty spotlight, read more

If you are going to wear a bright lip, then you must downplay the rest of your face. Don't mix a bold lip with a bold eye. First thing's first, figure out if you look best in a cool color like a true red or a pink red if you have pale, pink skin that burns easily or a warm color like a brick or rusty red if you have olive or yellow toned skin.
Next, prep your skin for a flawless looking face. Skip the highlighters for this look though and try and keep your skin matte. Go light on your blush and wear very little eye makeup or else you'll wind up looking like a clown.
Also, just as a tip, don't let your nails or toes clash with your lip color. When in doubt, wear a neutral skin colored or light pink polish.

Fab Read: Style A to Zoe by Rachel Zoe

When she's not working on rejuvenating the Halston brand or figuring out what Cameron's going to wear to her next red carpet event, Rachel Zoe's been hitting the books. Er, book.

Her first style guide, Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, & Everything Glamour, $17, comes out in October. Inside, Zoe aims to divulge some of her fashion insider tips on "the must-have accessories and wardrobe staples for all occasions, when to splurge and save on handbags and heels, how to decorate, entertain, and travel in style." Sounds good to me!
