Flooded egos on the Red Carpet
Hollywood is drenched.
For months, the nation watched California whither and dry during an extreme drought.
And now today, as Ellen gets set to open the Academy Awards, a huge storm is hitting the red carpet..And Hollywood, ever the spiritually vacant town would do, is worried about fashion.. How will the drenching rain and wind affect fashion!?
Perhaps with moist dresses.. frazzled hair.. and soaked tuxedos.
While mudslides may flow, champagne will too.
Cocktails.
Caviar..
Drenching rain.
And fame.Waterproofing the red carpet has never been harder..
