I have now had two meals by 1pm. Probably two more than most people going to the Met Ball tonight.

Hair, makeup, mani/pedi and stylist arrive at my hotel. Full blown girly moment for me. Can't say I hate it.

Okay, now it's three meals more than most people today. Or most people any day?

Red carpet. Holy madness. Glad I had wine.
