2012 met ball gala

The Costume Institute Gala, known as the Met Ball is an annual event that celebrates the opening of the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art's fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. This year's theme was "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations," most likely because everyone who attends is a celebrity and we know that none of them can carry on a conversation unless it's about them.


...well, that was harsh...(reservations for one at the bitter table).

Anyway...I thought I would give out awards because...uh...well...because...okay, just because I want to and it's my blog. 

For best impersonation of a Cambodian refugee, the award goes to:

Vera Wang! If you're going to live in this country Vera, where 30% of the population is overweight...you need to do your part to try and fit in. A couple of Krispy Creme's every once in a while never hurt anyone.

For most likely to not sit or wave the entire evening, the award goes to:

Gwyneth Paltrow! Hopefully she won't make any sudden moves and zig when her boobs sag...I mean zag.

For best fashion adaptation of a Victor Hugo novel, the award goes to:

Emma Stone and Alber Ebaz (Lanvin)! Oh what I wouldn't have paid to see him carrying a hand bell. 

For best impersonation of a dominatrix school marm, the award goes to:

Alexa Chung! Who appears to have been in the janitor's closet sniffing the Elmer's glue prior to getting dressed.


For best impression of death warmed over, the winner is: 
Mary Kate Olsen! If I didn't know any better, I'd think she'd been bitten by Barnabas Collins. (smirk)

And finally, for most likely to write a book about napkin folding, the award goes to:
Christina Ricci! Those night classes at Madame Lu Tang's House of Origami and Scherenschnitte really paid off.

And now a word from our sponsor. 
The folks at Pantone would like to personally thank Donald and Melania Trump for paying homage to their color of the year. 



I've got you under my skin... Miss Bea
