Sarah Jessica Who? Sarandon's Pearls Outshine the Rest at the Golden Globes
After last year's cancellation, The Golden Globes were back with a bang this year. As always, the hours before the awards caused as much hype as the event itself, with red carpet fashions scrutinised by a mob of fashion journalists. If you looked past the glitzy gowns and shining sapphires, you might have noticed, as I did, the timeless elegance of Susan Sarandon, who had donned with pride a Fred Leighton exclusive long pearl necklace.Susan clearly loved showing off her pricey pearls and even asked the designer if she could hold on to them.Well wouldn't you? Her 32" string looked both modern and elegant around her neck.
You might say that the fact that Sarandon, still stunning at 62, was the only A-list celebrity at the Globes to be wearing pearls, means that we're going back to the days of pearls being the jewels of choice for the "older" woman?Hell no! Pearl jewellery has a timeless elegance and charm if you know how to wear it. The trick is to do as the celebrities do and be picky! You can get pearls on the cheap, especially the abundance of fake and low grade stones on the internet these days, but they rarely have the style of the real deal. If you’re on a budget, go for natural freshwater pearls which can be beautiful. But for the true celeb treatment you should spend that little extra on saltwater pearls, the choice of Susan Sarandon on Sunday night.
Here is our list of the Top 5 celebrity pearl lovers over the years. One look at the names in the list tells you all you need to know about the universal class of pearls on celebrities young and old, classic and modern.These five names from the past and present tell you all you need to know about why pearls will never stop being one of the finest accessories of society's high flyers?
5. Jacqueline Kennedy – America’s most beloved First Lady wore her jewellery with classic grace and elegance, and her triple strand pearl necklaces became an icon for women’s sophistication.
4. Liz Taylor - the epitome of all things glamorous and elegant in her day, Elizabeth Taylor gained royal status in the pearl kingdom by owning the world's largest pearl necklace, La Peregrina, as worn by a whole range of European queens and princesses!
3. SJP - the Sex and the City superstar has become a fashion trendsetter by doing things like wearing an exquisite long pearl necklace in the 2008 blockbuster movie, not to mention all the red carpet pearl-assisted appearances.
2. Princess Di - the English Princess of the People was also Princess of the Pearls, and will be always remembered for her taste in elegant pearl strings and accessories.
1. Audrey Hepburn – the Audrey Hepburn look is one that will never go out of style – her simple black dress and pearl necklace in Breakfast at Tiffany’s will live long in the memory as one of the iconic fashion looks of the 20th Century.
Ultrasensitive particles offer new way to find cancer (MIT)
About 10 years ago, scientists discovered a new type of genetic material
called microRNA, which appears to turn genes on or off inside a cell. More
recently, they found that these genetic snippets often go haywire in cancer
cells, contributing to tumors’ uncontrollable growth.
A team of researchers at MIT has now engineered a way to detect abnormal
microRNA levels in the blood of cancer patients, raising the possibility of
developing a simple blood test to diagnose or monitor the disease.
The technology, described in two recent papers in the journals _Analytical
Chemistry_ and _Angewandte Chemie_, consists of an array of tiny particles,
each designed to latch onto a specific type of microRNA. By exposing blood
samples or purified RNA to these particles, the researchers can generate a
microRNA profile that reveals whether cancer is present. Each type of cancer —
lung, pancreas, and so forth — has its own microRNA signature.
MicroRNAs, which are usually only about 20 nucleotides long, have been
implicated in many other diseases, including HIV, Alzheimer’s disease,
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The human genome contains about 1,000
microRNAs, believed to fine-tune gene expression by blocking the messenger-RNA
molecules that carry DNA’s protein-building ...
