The red carpet

In private jets they cruise, on recliners over the weather

On low and high riders, they ride low and hidden, on leather

On touch down, along bouncers, they walk under umbrellas

From motown to coast town, they bring a show no matter the weather

~

A fuss’ of polish and makeup, down, opens, flats and heels

A hand in another, another a hand on feels

His in squares, stripes, labels, another in jeans and white

Shis in anything, everything and mostly nothing

~

One flirts with the media, another poses for the paparazzi

One talks of their jitters, another of their success in the bizz

One has a ring, she talks of a fling, and shows off a bling

They say they’ve a thing, but mostly, they are a thing

~

One in shades, shows off his latest bit of fluff

One cannot tell if he is the gigolo or she is the bimbo

anyway, today, no one cares, who cares

She thins like a vagrant and looks like a million bucks

~

Another is lithe and blithe, adorning haute couture

This one is amiable, she adores the fame culture

She drawls at the boom, fans love this feature

She flaunts at the paparazzi, cameras love the picture

~

In LA, anywhere and nowhere, the same stars, I guess

Journals look for a killer line, its a game of chess

Without a blink cameras witness to later confess

Of malfunctions, anything, mostly of nothing more or less

The ’09 Oscars red carpet gallery

The Oscar award ceremony is not only one of the most prominent film award ceremony but also one if not the greatest fashion show of any fashion season. It features a red carpet representing a runway where fashion designers showcase their work.
The glitterati, dressed in lavish and deluxe styles pose for the paparazzi who then later publicize their content, sometimes in an unprecedented manner, completing a fashion show’s cycle.
And as we await both events this day, more people are looking forward to the sidekick fashion show than to the award ceremony itself. Perhaps we also need to award Hollywood for its fashion achievements.

French actress Marion Cotillard (in black) and Marisa Tomei (in white), best supporting actress nominee for The Wrestler, have their dresses adjusted at the 81st Academy Awards in Hollywood, 2009
