I’M NOT A FAN OF AWARD CEREMONIES. TOO LOUD. TOO many peasants. Your face hurts from smiling – cameras flashing and people screaming at you, and you always end up looking like a lonely tampon against all those red backdrops. But it’s good for me to go out to these things occasionally, to make nice with people from the industry.
Gloria is excited because she rarely goes to parties where she doesn’t have to promote something.
Tonight, she’s wearing a powder-blue dress with a cinched waist and a full skirt, very 1950s. It’s unusual for Gloria, who prefers simple, straight-line clothing. She does her hair in a sort of layered bun; it looks very nice. I’m proud of her looking so glamorous.
I match her in my charcoal Tiger of Sweden suit, a purple-almost-black Paul Smith tie and white Thomas
