Kein Ort...

One might even dare to ask what the Met Costume red carpet/dinner had in common with The Hunger Games? (The costumes and cuostomers are neutral...) But that dialectic would be just a bridge too far? N'est ce pas? Did you put the jigsaw together Ms Mulligan;)? Many of us had swum with the dinosaurs and so we know the Ribonuclease! The internet doesn't welcome opinion rather coagulation. Do we venture too close to the black hole c'est fois? Still - we have our couture taste buds. Better off than most...
For the first time, the red carpet was streamed live over the net. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you're a pap ornithologist) we heard a fairly constant stream of complaints (about people and things getting in the way of his camera artistry) from the photographer closest to the web cam mic. Now where's Annie Liebowitz when you really need her;)? For a moment I had visions of celebs in their couture rolling around the red carpet like kids in a playground. Life, helas, is so much more grown up....if one can have a Catcam film why not a Zeta-cam or a Mulligan-cam? I guess that's catnip too far.....
