New York Fails to Host Awesome Freakshow
We're going to veer ever-so-slightly off our usual beat here, just for the sake of absurdity: Tuesday night was the Women's World Awards, held at the Media City in Leipzig, Germany. We're fascinated by the thought that Germany has a "media city" (why can't New York be so simply named?), and the event itself would put any local awards gala to shame. Mikhail freaking Gorbachev presented the honorees with their awards, including the World Fashion Award, which went to none other than Donatella Versace.
What we don't understand is why such awesomeness would be reserved for Germany. New York is THE media city, dammit — shouldn't we be able to bring together midgets and Donatella and Gorbachev? Hell, that's whole idea behind the United Nations.
