Who Am I Wearing?

I know this seems improbable but next Thursday it seems I will be seen walking down a red carpet at the Museum of Modern Art. Yes, that Museum of Modern Art.

My friend Alex LeMay will be premiering his documentary film, Desert Bayou, and since I own a tiny slice of his company, Taproot Productions, and since I'm his un-compensated, un-credited writer-of-last-resort, I'm commanded to appear.

I know what you're thinking. "Reynolds at a film premiere? At MoMA? Why does the phrase 'baboon in church' come to mind?"

We get the full guest list tomorrow. It's possible that there will be celebrities. Don't know who, but of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a drunken Britney.

“Who Am I Wearing?”

    So do we get to watch the red carpet pre-show and hear some sycophant interview you?

    (Sorry not to have come up with names. I hardly know anybody any more, plus . . . wait: I have the e-mail address of Katrina van den Heuvel of The Nation. Too late for me to send her an invite? I was thinking of the ed-in-chief of Oprah's magazine, but I'm not sure if the one I know is still there, and I couldn't remember to look at the masthead when I was in the supermarket buying ice cream as editing rocket fuel.)

    We'd love to have Katrine VDH. For one thing she's got that whole sexy/smart thing going on . . . not that that should be a consideration.

    The invites are all going out late. As usual with docs there's not enough money to get organized early. But we'd love to have her and her date. There's food! Booze! Al Sharpton! Someone from Rainbow/PUSH! The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and various other media! Oh, and a movie. Then more booze! Yay!
