Dress Down

 While everyone around him was dressing up, Jake dressed down so much at the Met Ball that leave some asking - was that a tux or a casual combo pulled out of his closet.

A little different than the last time he attended the Met Ball

 A silk tux jacket,  relaxed trousers, open collar with a  cashmere scarf, is this Jake's interpretation of Punk, the theme of the event.

No pictures of his kicks.  The boots from Sunday night might have appropriate for punk rebellion meets fashion night.

And Austin is no stranger to the Met Ball.  He attended in 2006 in Ralph Lauren but Monday night he was  dressed down and way west of New York,  this time it looks like at the movies, from the large Gatsby promo behind him.

Bet he's seen the new movie. Then again he may just a big fan of the book. .... The audio book.  No doubt he's heard it or heard it even before everyone else did.

 Speaking of Jake reading:

Jake's reading again on Wednesday for a good cause.

 He is participating Words of War in support of comprehensive mental healthcare for military veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan on Wednesday at IAC HQ, 555 W. 18th St. New York.

This presentation of wartime poetry, literature, theater and letters articulate the exuberance and ideals that drive men to war, the thrill and horror of combat, the difficulties of returning home, and the experience of family members worried about their loved one at war. Iconic wartime images will be projected during the presentation.

Among those who are expected to take part at the event are Executive Director, Chairman of Headstrong Project, Zach Iscol, Jake, Adam Driver, Anthony Edwards, Anna Chlumsky (Veep), Jamie Hector (The Wire), Joanne Tucker (Theatre of War), Jonathan Alpeyrie (photographer) and more.

So Sad ....Too Bad

I really don't know what to tell you. It's not a big deal.
(Yeah right every A-lister gets invited)


Everyone knew that you were going to be on the East Coast this weekend.
(How could they not I got like hourly emails) I don't how Anna Wintour would think you wouldn't want to go to the the Met Costume Gala. (Oh hell yes I do! Burn!)


It's really not a big deal. Just another Red Carpet thing, you're not missing much.(Just the biggest fashion event of the year) It's been couple of years since I've gone but I think it pretty much the same deal. Red carpet, smile smile, go in and mingle, look at the costumes for the theme, yada yada yada. (Starting to crack)



Maggie? Yeah she's going this year. Well it makes sense, the theme is Superheroes and you know with Dark Knight it makes sense. ( Zing! Pow!)


Who's she wearing? I don't know. I don't think it Ralph Lauren, funny if she did though since I did when I went and Austin did (KaPow!) when he went. Who know what Kirsten was thinking last year with that thing on her head.


You know I got invited to the Governor's for dinner, maybe I can ask if they could squeeze you in. I can't make any promises, but if not, I will make sure I bring you back something official from the governor's office. (What was in that Welcome to SC gift basket that I got that would work - got it!)


Something to make this all worthwhile.
