Emmys, you guys
So, I totally went to the Emmys. This is what I looked like:
It was a silver Badgley Mischka gown with a kind of pewter-colored filigree around the neck. I fucking love it. The Emmys are fun for celeb-watching but in all honesty, compared to SAG or the Golden Globes, the star wattage is kinda non-existent. I mean, this is a world where Kelsey Grammar is the reigning king, you know? At least at the WGA awards, you can be like, "oh my god, there's Terrence Winter! or Wes Anderson!" or some cool writer you've always wanted to see in person.
I know it's kind of lame to be posting glammy photos of me. So to offset how sizzling I look in my Emmy gown, I will also post a picture of me taken several days earlier looking like a total dork.
I was getting a free manicure at an HBO event, and the photographer wanted me to show off the "goods". See? Glamour off-set. (For the record, I look especially dorky because I was nervous - a few feet off camera is writer Matt Weiner, who wrote some of my favorite episodes of "The Sopranos" and is the creator of the fucking awesome new drama "Mad Men", whom I had just met and wasn't sure if he thought if I was lame or cool or what.)
But basically, the Emmys were a boring starvation fest. Boring because, from where we sat, we saw nothing, except the back of Tony Bennett's crooning head. It was okay though, because Ben Silverman and his hot girlfriend were sitting near me looking glamorous and thin and he was like the handsome mayor of the auditorium, shaking hands and wheeling and dealing and stuff.
Highlights of Emmys weekend included running into Kristen Bell several times, who is delightful and funny and should be cast as Cool Tinkerbell in some new movie.
I don't remember how the food at the Governor's Ball tasted, because I ate it so fast. Honestly, the Emmys this year was like "Rescue Dawn". One great thing at the dinner is that Dove chocolates gives you each a commemorative "book" filled with little milk chocolates. Ben and I ate about half of them and now I have one for breakfast each morning.
