A Brie Grows in Brooklyn

Thanks to some insider knowledge, I happen to know that Beyonce was just in Marfa, Texas, a sleeper town turned art world destination.

I absolutely love that the Daily Mail has no idea that the photograph above shows B in front of the “Prada Marfa” installation by Elmgreen and Dragset, not an actual Prada store. Here’s their caption of the image:

“Jump for joy! How exciting to be able to afford everything inside that branch of Prada.”

If you’re not an avid follower of Beyonce’s Tumblr like me, you can check out the rest of the pictures from her trip with Solange in this hilariously misinformed Daily Mail post. My friend tells me that not only did she do the art shit, she also caused quite a ruckus by showing up at some field party a bunch of high school students were throwing. Yee-haw, Lady B!

Somehow, I missed Linda Evangelista’s photo while I was spewing out the nonsense below. But her dress, by Prada, was absolutely one of my favorites of the evening. If not THE favorite.

In the dictionary, under the word “classy,” there should be a picture of Linda Evangelista in this gown.

The 2012 Met Gala: The Good

Is it alright if I don’t write an intro? I have to fly through this commentary, because I’m fucking myself for the rest of the day wasting time on this shit. And there’s still about 100 dresses to go.

Without further ado, here’s the good from last night’s Gala.

It’s funny, when I interviewed Harold Koda (the head curator of the Costume Institute) for Departures, he said that his biggest secret pleasure was lobsters, and here Anna Wintour is, wearing one on her Prada dress. I love it!

Anna’s fur stole looks completely insane, and is not weather appropriate, but come on, she looks classy. And I like it when she goes out on a limb, rather than wearing a floral skirt, a cardigan, and kitten heels. This outfit is good.

Her daughter, Bee Shaffer (does anyone know what the fuck Bee Shaffer does?), dressed in Erdem, also looks good, although the neckline is, in my opinion, completely snooze.

The 2012 MET Gala: The Amazing

Last night, I was sitting watching Bethenny Ever After when I got a press release in my inbox. “For images of Emma Stone’s Lanvin dress at 2012 MET Gala earlier this evening, please contact me,” said the publicist who sent it.

“Are my eyes fooling me?” I asked myself. “Or was the gala really this evening?”

Because there I was, sitting in an old pair of velour sweatpants that sag in the ass, Caleb’s wife beater, and a Uniqlo cashmere sweater. If I had known that the Costume Institute Gala was taking place, I at least would have put on a pair of leggings and a bra.
