BLAZER with JEANS

In HOLLYWOOD, and by extension, at the Sarasota Film Festival, the dress code is a simple one. If the invitation says Casual, you wear jeans and a t-shirt. Cocktail... you wear Blazer, jeans, and t-shirt. There may be a formal event at the end and if there is, the proper attire is A tuxedo jacket, jeans, and a t-shirt. The whole thing reminds me of driving in Europe where everybody has the same size car... the rich just drive more expensive ones with logos on them like BMW or Mercedes. You can spot the A-listers at the after party because they have the 200 dollar plus Valentino jeans and the Affliction or Ed Hardy t-shirts while the staff wears the free t-shirt from last year's festival and Levis.

The above rules only apply to the men. The women trotted out some amazing frocks for last night's event. The Kitty was positively ravishing in her tiger colored but not animal print dress. There was more than one damsel "busting out" of her gownless evening strap. Just like last year, watching the people was better than watching the movie. I can't wait for "The Night Under 1000 Stars" when the beautiful people emerge once again to strut their stuff.
