QUICK LINKS
















For the Oscars, I prefer something classical, timeless and comfortable so that those photos on the red carpet look just as great ten years from now as they do today.

This year, i thankfully had a stop in Paris on my way back from a meeting with the Porsche executives (Dr. Blume has just so much he needs my advice on!) so I could do a final fitting on a simple black Chanel gown with ruffled collar and skirts. The bill was trivial compared to renting Laguna Seca for my birthday, so I immediately hushed my human when he started to protest.

It was a wonderful evening, though rats in the theatre were regrettably scarce. You'd think the cast of Cats had been in the house!

Hope you also had an Oscar-winning evening!
