Deal Divas live Oscar red carpet coverage Sunday!
Hey, awards show lovers!
Your resident red carpet correspondent (that would be me) will be out of town for the Academy Awards this Sunday, on a South Korea vacation spectacular I may have mentioned 6,000 or so times. I am thrilled to be going somewhere cool, but I was dismayed to realized I'd planned this trip on the biggest celebrity fashion night of the year. A part of me is dying inside.
But fear not! We have recruited help. Janet Keeler, the Times food and travel maven who covered Oscar fashion before the Deal Divas came screeching into your life with our shooties, will fill in on the snark beat. She'll be live-tweeting from our Twitter account, @dealdivas, during the red carpet arrivals, and her full recap will be in the Tampa Bay Times the next morning. Chatters, welcome Janet with open arms, would you? She's a gem.
Me? I'll be trying to get reception on my iPhone from Seoul, hoping to find out what you guys thought of Clooney's latest blond Amazonian date. Sigh. Sad. So sad to miss.

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan, she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
From camo pants and construction boots to sundresses, sweaters and sling backs, Keyonna Summers knows how to make all of it rock -- at rock bottom prices. A Detroit native, Keyonna delves into her urban roots to find fashion pairings that give a nod to street fashion while maintaining the class of the modern, professional woman. She believes in searching for affordable clothes that look expensive and can easily be dressed up or down. You won't find plaid shirts or fleece jackets in her closet; the only hiking Keyonna does is to the bargain basement. She can be reached at (727) 445-4153 or
