VIMwatch: 2010 Emmy style

Ladies



Golden Globe winner (for Felicity) Keri Russell, looked absolutely stunning - as usual - in this bright pink summer-y gown. We don't know how she does it, but girlfriend is always looking the epitome of class. And we love her hair, too. Check out Russell's new series Running Wilde, also starring Arrested Development's Will Arnett as the title character, on FOX.



Once again, the lovely Claire Danes was the envy of many in her gorgeous glittery gown. I mean, honestly, who doesn't love something that sparkles? And when someone can pull it off as well as Danes here, there's really nothing to complain about. Not to mention Danes took the Emmy for Outstanding Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for Temple Grandin.

Gents



Peter Facinelli apparently has time away from the Twilight films to also star in the Showtime series Nurse Jackie - who knew?! - and made an appearance at this year's Emmys looking pretty awesome. Though the hair might be what really makes this outfit, we are loving the white on white look.



Personally, we think The Office's John Krasinski can't help but be absolutely adorable. He really took that to another level at this particular award show with his fabulous silver bowtie. Love it!

Today's show: Women working in male-dominated jobs, and the Calgary Dyke March!

Tonight we interview two women who work in male-dominated jobs: a machinist and a construction worker. We discuss sexism in the workplace and what these ladies love and loathe about their jobs.

Also, Calgary's first ever Dyke March is coming up this weekend, so we'll be spreading the good word about that!

Tune in from 8 - 9 p.m. on CJSW 90.9 fm in Calgary, or from anywhere in the world on cjsw.com. You can also download our podcast if you miss the live show.

VIM Pick: Best Read of the Summer

Summer is always a great time for relaxing on those lazy days and catching up on reading that you've meant to do but just can't find the time during the school year. Naturally, we VIM staffers did a lot of that this past summer and wanted to share our favorite read with you:

Chelsea Handler's collection of one-night stands, My Horizontal Life, is just plain hilarious. All of Handler's books are written effortlessly. One can tell she really has knack for storytelling and often comes off much like Judy Blume, a childhood fave of many. Beyond the writing, My Horizontal Life is really great in that you can pick it up at anytime or even read the chapters out of order as it is designed in a series of short stories of Handler's pre-comedian life. Trust us, it's colorful.

Study Finds 1/4 of Lap Dancers Have Degrees

The Independent UK reports:

A British study (and the first academic research project into lap dancing) has found that one in four lap dancers has a degree and has been attracted to that career because of the money.

Dancers took home an average of £232 ($378 Canadian) a shift after paying commission and fees to the club, with most working between two and four shifts a week – giving them annual incomes of between £24,000 and £48,000 a year ($39,000 -78,300 Canadian).
