Well guys, the Met Gala was last night and wow I was blown away. I kind of thought the theme of the whole Catholic Imagination would be good but I had no idea until people started showing up just how good it would be. It was just such a rich tapestry for designers to express themselves on as so many people looked like they stepped out of an old bit of Byzantine Iconography or a renaissance painting about an obscure saint. It was pretty awesome. And I knew today would be tough because I could have easily posted over a dozen people today and been happy because so many people knocked the theme out of the park. Which is nice, some years it seems like people just ignore the theme and you know, nice dresses and all but when you can wear that gown to any event it feels like you wasted a real chance to get creative. Also, this really gave us some amazing headpieces which I didn’t even know I wanted but I did. Just beautiful things to look at. Priyanka Chopra and Nicki Minaj’s deserve a ton of credit. Their whole looks were good but they really just had amazing head pieces. There were a ton of tiaras which I guess some people might not like but I fear those people’s lives are devoid of joy and wonder. There were wild looks that really were pulled off well like Lana Del Rey, Katy Perry, and Zendaya. There were subtler ones that I think really looked great like Kate Upton or Alicia Vikander. There were a lot of in between that nailed the theme, were not too out there but definitely could only ever work here like Amber Heard, Olivia Munn, or Ariana Grande. There was Rihanna because there is always Rihanna and maybe for the first time ever had me going, “Hey, that Mitre is kind of hot”. No, I mean, definitely for the first time ever. And you know, on the guys side it’s usually more boring but one or two people always stand out and this year Chadwick Boseman won by basically looking like what if Lando Calrissian became the Pope. Which I guess to some sounds weird or like an insult but it isn’t. It was strongly on theme and not that odd an a pairing really since Lando and every Pope ever are pretty over the top glam and love flashy capes. My point is there was a lot going on last night and so many people I could praise. And I basically always knew I was posting Blake Lively. I saw her dress and I knew it would be hard to top. I knew today would be a hard decision but I always knew she’d win. Because she always knocks it out of the park at these things. She just does. And last night might have been her single best Met Gala look ever. Which is impressive because she has been 10 times and always does well. She looked like she stepped out of a painting though. Some cross between a Medici Princess and and Elizabethan noble woman. The pictures of her mounting the stairs could be framed and just labeled the Ascension of Saint Lively and I would believe it. The look was just perfect and it’s where my head keeps going back. So today I want to fuck Blake Lively.
