CAT AT THE MET

May 6, 2023 | FASHION, MUSIC

Cat at the Met is the description that came to mind when I saw these images

on the instant I smiled but then I wondered what prompted Jared Leto to dress up as a cat.

This is the Met Gala: an event created to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute that over the years has become such a prestigious and coveted event not only in the fashion world that tickets, for those not included on the invitation list, are astronomically priced.

Nevertheless, the Met Gala has a strict rule: no cell phones and consequently no sharing on social media.

This perhaps contributes to the idea of exclusivity that Anna Wintour has built over the years making it an event that some refer to as “the Oscars of fashion.”

As a Meryl fan I inevitably associate Miranda Priestly, by the way did you see that Andy was actually appearing in the video? 🙂

So back to the cat: Jared Leto was not the only one who wanted to follow the dress code of this edition by paying homage to Choupette, aka Karl Lagerfeld’s cat.

In fact, the Met Gala 2023 was also dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld as a preview of the Costume Institute’s exhibition A line of beauty: at the Metropolitan Museum from May 5 to July 16.

Undoubtedly dressing up as a cat has made even we in our own small way are talking about it, but beyond that, do you find it a brilliant or irreverent idea?

Do you think this participation added a valuable contribution, or the risk of slipping into style fall?

Can we see it as a touch of irony or can it be a missed opportunity to give a message?

In general I think we all have a great need for levity, certainly we also have to learn from cats.

In the meantime we should maybe convince Jared Leto to be less tea guy 🙂 what do you think?

And maybe even less Cat at the Met.

Joking aside, now that he has felinely got our attention, we expect great things from the new Thirty seconds to Mars album due out on May 8, especially after the statements he made in an interview: listening to Italian 80s music during the filming of the movie House of Gucci in which Jared played Paolo Gucci, left an important imprint of inspiration because it was able to reach the heart.

How can you blame him?

THOUGHTS AT THE WINDOW

Dec 17, 2021 | THE X-MAS CAROLS

Today the window of the Advent calendar gives us thoughts … or rather: the story is from the blog Thoughts at the window.

The author is Martina, who tells of herself having worked for a few years in the press office in “The devil wears Prada” conditions … and the thought goes straight away a Is there some reason that my coffee isn’t here? Did she die or something?

Martina, like Andy, leave her “Miranda” and becomes a primary school teacher, a job that I envy her very much, of course with all the understanding of what it is certainly not a fairy tale.

My primary school teacher is called Virginia and I respect her infinitely. She was a teacher, but also a mother and a great example of Woman.

I still remember the chores for Christmas, the decorations in the classroom and the magical atmosphere of childhood.

And I advise you to go and read the atmosphere that Martina literally painted with the words in her contribution:
Today I was walking through the decorated streets of the neighborhood. Roads that in this season I travel little, too busy by car, not useful if you don’t live there, outside of the daily journey. I went there with the dog, remembering when I wanted her, the dog… go on here.

MY FIRST PRODUCT TO TEST

Apr 23, 2021 | WHO CARES, WHO CARES

My first product to try is a muesli with chocolate, a GOOD start I can say.

Generally associated with breakfast, a bit like coffee after all.

In the morning, are you the type of coffee on the go or do you rather take the time for a healthy sitting breakfast? I talk about “sitting” because considering some levels of lethargic sleep in the morning, knowing how to get up on time is not for everyone …

We could therefore divide into different types:

Fantozzi category: mentholated toothpaste on coffee flavor

or, on the contrary, all focused on extemporization

off course it also depends on the amount of hunger

or … on the rule “no carbohydrates” Miranda‘s style

alternatively: keep fit but doing sport

however it depends on the time available

So let’s go back a bit to the starting point: how long before do you get up? How many times do you postpone the alarm clock? Can you sit down to have breakfast before rushing to meet your day, or is it your day catching up with you while you are still in the r.e.m. phase?

In your opinion is it just a matter of organization or is it more a matter of attitude?

In any case, I suppose you will agree that, beyond all, the classic is timeless … at Tiffany‘s
