Are rich, darker colors making a comeback? We all know that fashion trends are propelled by those who wear them, right? There's nothing more powerful for a designer than having their designs showcased on the red carpet. So, we have to ask, what will the color trend be this year? While it seemed from the Golden Globes that red would be the color of choice, many were surprised to see the recent shift at the SAG awards to deeper color tones of purple, blue and black. Was this a one-time thing or will we see the trend continue? Next month's Oscars will give us another peek...stay tuned!

This is not just any car show...where else do you get the opportunity to watch classic hot rods race an eighth mile drag strip at full speed? The Mooneyes X-Mas Show also features pin up contests, rockabilly bands, pinstripe artists, hundreds of vendors and a variety of car clubs, including a recent addition...the van class!
