Chapter 2: How are Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez changing the Met Gala?
I'm top of mind because Anika has very kindly given us a swap. Yeah, so we can start with Annika Swart now. I'm joined by, in spirit, Annika Joshi-Smith, but in person, Joanna Fleming, and my lovely bad gal, Riri, Rhiannon Joyce. Hello, hello. Hello. I am so excited for today's episode, and I know that we are all chomping at the bit to talk Met Gala.
But before we do, I would love to share a little What's In My Algorithm with you all. Go for it. John Summitt and the Rimowa. Now, there are a lot of people that I feel sorry for today, but I'm feeling a little bit sorry for the Rimowa PR team because John Summitt, if you don't know, is a DJ in the US. He was actually previously an accountant. He was, yeah.
LinkedIn have just done a great thing with him. But aside from that point, he is a staunch hater of his Rimowa suitcase, so much so that he's been beefing with this suitcase for like five years and actually took to setting it alight
after it basically collapsed midair and like it was coming around the turnstile turnstile what do we call them uh baggage carousel baggage carousel thank you and it was like all taped together like clearly someone it was kind of in a plastic bag like they had to put a plastic bag over it to stop the contents from spilling out and a tub it was in a tub it wasn't chic which is like also anyone who has a remover your intention is for your luggage to look chic like
Chapter 3: What does this year's Met Gala theme 'Fashion is Art' mean?
They are so expensive. They're bougie. I think they're really cool, but they get a lot of beef online.
They get a lot of beef. And he literally, there is footage of him like pouring oil over it. And to put this into perspective, I think that these suitcases of that size retail from somewhere of like 1800 AUD North, like just keep going up depending on materiality and what colors you're picking and whatnot. Like they're not cheap.
And he wrote like German engineering my ass, like ending my five-year beef with my Ramola. And set it in flames. Like, he kind of looked like an unhinged woman who'd been scorned, like, and, you know, when they're torching, like, ex-husband's undies.
I really want to see what luggage brand he goes for next.
Yeah.
I bet July's already in there. You'd have to be in his DMs, like, immediately. If you worked for another luggage brand, you'd be like, we have to.

Chapter 4: How much money does the Met Gala raise for charity?
We have to be the next ones and we have to impress.
Samsonite base, you know, July. Like it depends who it is. If I was Samsonite, I'd go, look, we're not the coolest kid on the blog. Mind you, they are probably one of the best luggage brands I know.
I've had my Samsonite for over, I'm going to say almost 18 years now. They're durable and notoriously light. I've got the little black American tourista one. My zip's broken on the inside, but that's fine. On the outside, it's all good. The other brand in the US that is similar to July is Away. Yes. I feel like they'll be all over this.
I would be like, we are going to do a campaign that shows like we're fireproof or something. Anyway, I just wanted to share it because like it just goes to show that
Chapter 5: What controversies are surrounding this year's Met Gala?
that it takes one, like, formative figure online to make your week, in this case, I think we're rolling onto the second or third week of this, a living hell.
Also, price point doesn't necessarily equal quality. I have heard rumours on the internet that ever since Bromoa was purchased by LVMH, the quality has dipped. Maddie's going down, down, down. I feel like the price is right.
You know, we're like down, down, down.
It's giving that Coles out. Down, down. Price is down. That doesn't happen anymore, though, because prices are up. Yes. All right, let's get into the swap. Who wants to go first? Jo, you go first. Oh, really?
Chapter 6: Who were the standout fashion looks from the Met Gala?
Yeah. Okay, great. Well, I was on TikTok the other day and I got stuck on, and this is where I realized that my attention span is not a problem because I sat, I think this video had to be the 10 minute. Is it still 10 minutes maximum on TikTok? I'm pretty sure it's 10 minutes. I think so. It was long, whatever it was, this video.
So this creator, Eugenia McQuarrie on TikTok, whose dad is actually a famous filmmaker, she filmed this piece of content in her family friend's bedroom. This family friend is 72 years old. Her name is Kathy. She has the most phenomenal collection of vintage designer clothes I have ever seen. And she was just giving them away to Eugenia. She was just like, oh, you've got to try this.
You've got to try that. And she would put these outfits on and it was like everything was made for her body.
Chapter 7: What unique fashion statements were made at this year's event?
It was like, honestly, the best piece of content. I was glued just waiting for the next accessory. And then Cathy would come along with a brooch or a belt or a hat and And she'd accessorize the whole look for her and then have her model it. It's honestly like it's so heartwarming to also see the bond between like a more mature woman and a younger woman and sharing this love for style.
So I highly recommend you go and look at Eugenia's TikTok. There's like a few different videos of her doing these try on hauls with Cathy, but I just I'm obsessed. Oh, 14-year-old Ray would love that. It's giving like movie montage. Oh, it is, 100%. Yeah, you have to see some of these outfits as well, like vintage 80s, 90s mostly, but things that you just would not be able to get now.
I want a Cathy. Yeah. I'd love a Cathy. Everyone in the comments is like, how did you strike gold here?
Chapter 8: What does the future hold for the Met Gala and its attendees?
Like this is literally better than winning the lottery. I don't know if I, what do I want more? Do I want to be Cathy or do I want a Cathy? Like if this was future Ray and people described me as Cathy, I'd be like, oh, I'm the coolest.
Yeah, I mean, in the wise words of the El De Paso ad, plus buenos los dos, please don't come for me for my mispronunciation. I thought you did quite well. Thank you so much. But I want to be both. I want to be Cathy and I want to be the lovely lady receiving. Beneficiary of Cathy. Yeah, exactly. Mads, your swap. Go for it. My swap.
My swap is actually a pair of underwear that were bought for me by my friend Inz after a few glasses of champagne. Don't ask how we got there, but the end result is a great pair of underwear. It is a U.S. brand called Hanky Panky. It's a little bit like the Hunza G of underwear. And if you don't know what Hunza G is, it's kind of this one size fits all.
So I think that they do underwear like in different sizing. And I think on the pack it was U.S. size 4 to size U.S. 16. So like they're like these little lazy Gs. Kind of stretches with you. Yeah, it moves with you. They are so comfy and they're kind of cute, like a bit sexy. Hanky Panky. And what a great name. Hanky Panky.
I feel like I need to look these up. Hanky Panky.
I've never heard of them. Well, they came in three shades. So Inns was very generous and bought me three pairs, a black, a nude, and a little white. Oh, yeah. I'm looking at them now. They're so comfy. And shipped to Australia.
Yes. Looks like you can get them on Amazon as well and Revolve. Fantastic. That's my swap.
I love hanky panky.
I love an underwear recommendation for you. So do I. Who's going to ask me? Oh yeah, sorry, Rhi, go on. I was too busy looking at these undies. Jo's trying to buy underwear in real time. Beauty products for me. Oh, I know. It's rare that I have a beauty rec. The Kosas Airbrow Clear Lifting Treatment Gel. I don't like to really mess around with a lot of
