Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí // Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después // Bésame, bésame mucho

Looking at myself in your eyes, next to me // I'm afraid of losing you, losing you later // kiss me, kiss me more

out of curiosity, which outfits did you find interesting (despite the theme) this year?

Everyone who dressed up like Lagerfeld's cat was doing their damndest to infuse some artistic interest back into what's meant to be an over-the-top art museum costume gala, and bless them for it

Apparently this is Doja Cat. Good job, Doja Cat. You will be spared the Snake Pit For Low-Effort Millionaires.

And the folks who in other ways tried to do something eccentric and elaborate despite the theme basically being Here Is An Excuse To Dress Boring For The Met Gala

I do not know enough about Lagerfeld's work to know what this has to do with the most recent Sketchy Yet Famous honoree, but Janelle Monae at least looks Artistic And Weird. Good for her!

Thank the gods for Lil Nas X.

Google says this is Met Gala co-chair Michaela Coel. The placement of the "pasties" and fringe-looking "skirt" beading remind me of Josephine Baker, but that's probably just my very specific frame of reference. Either way, love it!

I need to catch up on What We Do In The Shadows. Anyway, Harvey Guillien is fast cementing himself as one of the few Men Who Understand The Assignment every year.

As is tradition, my sister sent me JChas' look, and as seems to be tradition, it was a lovely and very Safe dress that I'm sure had something or other to do with the theme. That being said, I do think that shade of blonde makes her look like a mom who exclusively dresses little Brynleigh-Aynn in taupe:

Solid! Possibly going to yell at a Whole Foods employee for not having the organic vegan gluten-free water brand she wants, but only after she's acquitted of her rich husband's murder.

De-gorgeous Debbie Harry checking out Deee-Lite's Lady Miss Kier's bosom to find out whether groove is in the heart during the 6th Annual New York Music Awards held at the Beacon Theater on November 1, 1991 as captured by Al Pereira.

Ooh, la-la, la-la-la-la-la.
