Welcome to the news.
So what has been happening this week, we are literally in recording as all the Met Gala stuff is breaking. So we're seeing all the, basically we're in District 12 now.
We are.
We're watching what's going on in the capital. That's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is. That's definitely what it was based on. In fact, was it? I mean, it pretty much was.
It's a clever idea.

Chapter 2: What are the highlights from this week's Met Gala?
Met Gala has been going for years. They are loosely basing it on the Met Gala.
But that's exactly what it feels like. The Met Gala, over the years, it has progressed into more Hunger Games-esque books. Before it just used to be very, very glam, whereas now people are trying to shock and outdo their previous year.
Yeah, they're steaming it out. The notable mention for me would have to be, obviously, let's go to the beginning, if anyone doesn't follow this, Met Gala, basically, their theme this year was fashion is art.
Yeah.
But this is what confuses me. There's the theme and then there's the dress code, which are two different things. Do you know that? Yeah. What did it say? The theme was art as a statement or something like that? What was it? The dress code is fashion as art, right? Which basically the interpretation of that was meant to be you wearing the art.
You can either get like a painting that you thought, oh, I really like that. I want to see if a designer's ever like made something inspired by that painting or that sculpture or whatever. And either way of design either looks exactly like that. Like maybe it's the print of it or something or like it sculpturally looks like something. I loved that Sabrina Carpenter did a dress. Did you see hers?
No, actually I haven't seen her one yet. Oh, please look it up. We'll put a wee picture on screen so you can see it. Sabrina Carpenter got the film, the actual spool film, you know, like the old fashioned film. She got the little one inch thick
strips of spool she didn't do it obviously it's not like a fucking getting her mum to make her a costume right yeah I actually it sticks in my throat a wee bit that these celebrities get all the credit and I'm like it's the designer fuck all right that's it there so she's basically got oh she's very flapper girl kind of style but do you notice look at that zoom in it's all the spool film that makes the dress and guess what the spool is from her video
I thought it was going to be her videos, like her music videos. It's not. It's from the actual Audrey Hepburn movie, Sabrina.

Chapter 3: What unique fashion statements were made at the Met Gala?
Can you imagine that? What is this like a... I don't understand this. Do not think as well.
Sorry, this is pure crude, right? But it must be really hard. For the guy not to get hard on.
Literally.
How... Like, it's fine for the girl.
The guy... The guy is hard to... It's hard to disguise. He's gonna... I'm just looking at the little rat on the table and it's really demonstrating exactly... I want to know actually, right?
Is that a standard thing if you're filming a sex scene that surely the guy would...
I mean you know in his head he's just going granny's at the dentist granny's at the dentist granny's at the dentist yeah that was that case case closed case closed What was the virus?
Oh my God, have you not seen this?
Yeah, what the fuck is this? I've not seen this. What is it?

Chapter 4: How did Blake Lively's court case unfold?
I know. Then you'd feel like an absolute dauber if you pulled out your mask. I know let's get real for a second anyway oh do you know what it's such a shame for us having to get our nails done eh it's such a you know what that is like it's a act of kindness to yourself a wee bit of self care getting the nails done I just think you instantly feel dressed when you've got your nails done
But have you seen that there's like a new trend now, right? And I feel like it's maybe a trend that they're trying to push on us.
And I don't think we're going to take it in. Shabby nails or something. That's exactly what it is. Go and take your fucking short shabby nails fresh out.
They've done the same thing that they do with everything else, which is when the celebrities do something, then normal people start, District 12 starts doing it. Then the capital then change so that they're different from us. Do you know what I mean? So what is that? It's the not having nails at all? It's the undone nails.
So apparently, I can't remember what designer it was, one catwalk that they did, all the nails had no, all the nails, all the models had no nails.
No, do you know what that is?
They've just forgotten to book the nail artist. No, no, it was a specific thing. It was, we are going out with naked nails because we are better than you.
Because they forgot to book it and then they're just taking control of that narrative and they're saying, actually, this was, this was meant to happen and actually they wanted them all to have like, 10-inch red nails.
Maybe. I mean, I couldn't do that. See, if I was to try and go naked nails, mine wouldn't look good. My nails are paper thin.
