McNamara" Subject: RE: Re: I loved her hair curly at the Clive Davis' party. I thought that was her best hairdo over the past year. I'm not a big fan of the up-do. It makes her look a bit dowdy. She also wore her hair traditionally straight at a museum opening a while back. I think she is gorgeous, but she has showed her age a bit more over the past 5 years. She was so vibrant at Luminato ... I wish she would go out and perform more. Maybe that would be good for her!
