I'm a little sniffly. I feel like this happens to me every time I go to a big event.

I'm not even sick, but my body is just broken down in a way that vaguely resembles an illness.

Okay, so I'm not like fully ill.

I don't have a fever, none of that, but I have a slight headache,

a sniffly nose, a sore throat.

I'm half sick.

I just got back from New York, last night at one in the morning.

I was in New York for the Met Gala and now I'm back and it was a fucking phenomenal experience.

It was my fourth Met Gala. It was truly incredible. It was just kind of a dream come true.

I loved my outfit. I have the most phenomenal team. I got to spend a lot of time with them and it was just a beautiful, beautiful weekend.

And that's the way that it looks online too.

Like you look at the Met Gala

through the lens of the internet

and it looks like this dreamy experience.

You know, all these people dress up in beautiful outfits

walking the carpet and going in to the event

that is somewhat unknown, but assumed to be delightful,

which it is.

The event as a whole is truly a special experience.

However, as with all things,

there's also a chaotic side to it,

and that's what I want to talk about today.
