Did you watch the Oscars last night? Although I have to admit I only saw less than half of the movies nominated this year, I am a sucker for the stunning gowns that are worn. I recently went to my brother's wedding and for the very first time bought a Douglas Hannat designer gown that made me feel like a celebrity! However I must admit, the expense of such a gown leaves me wondering when I will be able to wear it again!

Over the years I have gotten used to realizing that EVERYONE in Hollywood is either using Botox or Restalin or some type of collagen filler though I am surprised at how candid the celebrities are now about talking about it. Where once it was like a special secret now it's blatant that they all have some type of work done. And of course no where but Hollywood will you see so many very, very thin women with pencil thin arms and slim physiques. I am sure they all work very hard to look that way by doing the most cutting edge exercise programs on the market. But I wonder, is it me or is anyone else noticing all the rounded shoulders and slumped postures many of them have when up on stage? Although in pictures you may not notice it as much, my goodness some of them are really showing that as "fit" as they look from the front, from a side pose, their head must weight about 40lbs to their brain!

The thing that sort of struck me also this year was that the young celebrities actually had the worst posture compared to many in my age range (Like Sandra Bullock who looked amazing and unbotoxed). I don't want to pick on anyone but I have to just say, Miley Cyrus needs some serious MELTing to get her body back in order.

We all know as we age our posture can fade and become less upright or aligned but what's up with the young teen and mid-20ish actors? Why all the slouching? Even many of the guys were a little forward with the head carriage and curved in the upper back.

Maybe it's time to do a MELT on the Red Carpet Map for those of us who will adorn our body with a beautiful gown at some point, or just want to look good when the tank tops and strappy tees come out of the closets for spring and summer! Upper body map sounds like it is in order now that I can see, it doesn't matter how much you spend on a killer outfit, if your body doesn't look upright in it, it doesn't matter how lean or fit your body is, your posture says otherwise.

MELT Map requests will be answered shortly. I am on it!
