Costume Gala
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 5:30pm press call
Ok..Ok..I don't know if this truly the best 90 min. ever... but it comes really close!
Like in years past, the arrival area is a huge tent over the main stairs that lead to the museum entrance. Still are set up on either side of the stairs up to the third landing.
About 6:30pm some of the talent begin to arrive. Sparse, even paced... non chaotic.
Then...something strange happens.
At about 7 pm, Eastern Standard Time, on this day, the seventh day, of the fifth month, of the year 2007, it seems as if all the planets align in a cosmic dance. Man, nature and space all join together in one harmonious song...
and every A-List celebrity that matters arrives to this event in amazing fashion, without stop for 90 minutes of pure adrenaline driven chaos.
Whenever you find yourself in a position that you're shooting Cameron Diaz, Gisele Bundchen, JLo and Marc Anthony, Mary Kate Olsen, Rosario Dawson and Rihanna within a five minute period... followed by Misha Barton, Scarlett Johanson, Mick Jagger, Jennifer Garner, Renee Zellweger, Kate Moss, Naomi Watts, and Jessica Simpson IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES... you're in a good place.
It becomes so loud and frantic in that tent for 90 minutes, it is a spectacle to behold.
I've said it before... this event is the OSCARS OF NEW YORK!
