…And the Oscar Goes To

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards are so close that I can almost feel the softness of the red carpet under my feet.  Soon James Franco and Anne Hathaway will be famously standing on stage announcing this year’s much-anticipated winners.  I know they say it every year, but this has truly been a great year in film.  With The Social Network and Black Swan as my frontrunners, I predict that a select few will be walking away with numerous awards.  Since I have been too busy following the engagement of William and Kate religiously, I have yet to see The King’s Speech, but I believe that film will also take away its share of awards.

As every socialite knows, no awards show is ever about who wins, but about who Joan Rivers and the rest of her Fashion Police posse deem the best and worst dressed.  Ever since I was a little girl, the designs of Oscar de la Renta have always been my favorite on the red carpet.  So it is going to be a very close race between Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang as to who will win the Oscar for designing my wedding gown.  Truth is always stranger than fiction.  Since I’m a little bit dramatic when it comes to just about everything, I think that maybe I should get an Oscar for playing myself in real life.  I have done an excellent job and it’s not my fault that there weren’t any cameras there for my most tragically beautiful moments.  So this year as I watch the biggest movie stars of the moment walk the red carpet at the Academy Awards while tweeting simultaneously, I will not cease to remember that I aspire to be myself only in a far more iconic way.

Facebook Frenzy!

On the evening of September 30, 2010 while the rest of the world was anticipating the release of The Social Network starring Jesse Eisenberg, I was partying with NYC’s social media stars at the Facebook GeneratioNext Wrap Party having drinks on the tab of the real Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook crew put on a huge soiree in celebration of Advertising Week and of course I was on the guest list. The event featured food, an open bar, and a breathtaking Cirque du Soleil performance. In order to impress the people I usually only interact with on Twitter, I spent big bucks on an amazing BCBG dress. It was totally worth the investment because I like to be seen in a stylish light by my friends and followers. There is a quote from The Social Network that I think totally encompasses the theme of this party, which goes, “We don’t know what it will be. We don’t know what it could be. All we know is that it is cool.”  Well, I have experienced for myself many times over what Facebook has become and I could not be more blown away. The website is truly an example of what aspiring to greatness and succeeding truly means. Can’t wait to see the movie!
