On Monday night Vogue did a live broadcast of the Met Gala and the entire concept was pure genius. It was immediately ranked #2 as a WORLDWIDE Twitter trending topic, which is an incredible amount of online buzz for this type of event. It’s not surprising though; when you combine celebrities and high end couture, its fashion porn at its best. The online chatter and responses generated by the event alone were incredible.

The combination of the interactive experience of watching the Gala on Vogue while catching commentary on live Twitter feeds was so fun. It was such a spectacle seeing everyone’s ridiculous fashion choices and the wave of twitter trends that followed, from Marc Jacobs lingerie outfit to Anja Rubik’s naked dress and Beyonce’s barely legal sheer Givenchy number.

I’m also miraculously linked to Ivanka Trump’s Instagram and got to see sneak pics of her getting ready for the event. It got me thinking about the future of entertainment and how the lines are so blurred; with online culture there’s almost no defining point when an event begins and ends.

There’s such a voyeuristic feel where we can peep into everyone’s lives and create these stories. From the celebrity tweets before they’ve arrived, to the post-show wrap-ups of the fashion bloggers commenting on everyone’s outfit. I’m thrilled to see more and more interactive cultural experiences as every minute detail unfolds online.

On Saturday September 10^th I had the pleasure to speak at a DIY Business Association Conference in Brooklyn, NY. Take a look at the DIY Business Association website and some pictures from the conference below. The room was filled with wide eyed entrepreneurs brimming with optimism and dreams. I was so excited to have been a part of it. They’re even planning on creating incubator groups to help entrepreneurs navigate through the trials & tribulations of starting their own business. It’s a great organization that really has some helpful hints and insights on how to become a successful entrepreneur.
