Trying to find a blog about fashion events including the Met Gala
May 8, 2019 4:00 AM   Subscribe

I read this blog months, possibly years ago, and now I want to see what it's take on this year's Met Gala was. Generic and more specific details I remember inside.

1. It didn't just cover the Met Gala, it would also cover other events, but the Met posts were particularly funny
2. Snarky tone, written kind of casually, no particular effort made to sound "objective", not like reporting, not much context/background given, it really felt "blog"y
3. The met posts were divided into winners and losers (I think? May have been something different) with the criteria mostly but not solely being actually embracing the theme vs being a coward playing it safe
4. I remember it commenting almost every year that someone (Anna wintour???) always did the previous year's theme
5. As far as I can remember it was just one blog, possibly a blogspot blog, run by seemingly just one person

It is very possible I first encountered it linked here on metafilter.

Response by poster: As best as I can remember, the site only had one post per event. Ie, there was a single post for met gala 2018, a single post for met gala 2017, etc. If it did have more than one, it would maybe have been, say, 2 (one for winners, one for losers?). It definitely did not have many, many posts about each event.

I don’t think this is the one, but Tom and Lorenzo—formerly Project Rungay—cover this topic, and many more, in an intellectual yet light-hearted (and many times laugh out loud funny and subtly snarky) fashion. Worth a look if you haven’t encountered them yet!

Response by poster: Tom and lorenzo seems to profile each participant separately. The blog definitely did a bunch of participants in a single post, often transitioning from one to the other, like, "here X did this, whereas Y tried the same thing but worse". For example for the Christian themed met it had a row of like five men in suits with crosses on them, and a row of women doing angels, I think. (other than that all I remember from that year's coverage was how enthused it was about Janelle monae(?) 's rainbow cape?)
