I forget the name of the book, but I do remember reading
years ago about what the Oscars preparations are like for
the chosen who have been invited. Chez les femmes, no one has one dress,
all picked out, but many. It is an ongoing negotiation, with the weather, one's bloat,
what other people are considering or have decided to wear, how the hair turns out
at the very last moment, and finally intutition. And, in this feverish context,
designers do send dresses to people, certainly to attractive young
actresses, who might do them the honour of wearing their creations,
because reputations are made for aspiring designers as well.
The Oscars is a collective show, for television. But there are before parties, and
after parties, photographers everywhere. Some women have been known to
actually eat something, but no one is going there on a full stomach. Yesterday's L.A.
Times did a piece on Wolfgang Puck who feeds the army of participants at the event.
So in the midst of all this joyful chaos, I am surprised at the StreepChanel
controversy. Surely the House of C has someone sur le terrain.
