PLP at the Oscars

Ms. Kathy Bates, wearing two outfits designed for her by Peggy Lutz, has been nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress in "About Schmidt". When not nude in a hot tub with Jack Nicholson, Ms. Bates wears a Tile Zebra Drape Lapel Coat with purple slither separates and a Mandala Paisley Short Kimono with burgundy slither separates by Peggy Lutz. Watch for her first two appearances in the movie— we had nothing to do with the red horror she wears in the wedding scene! See full coverage and links in our feature story.
