April Showers At Julia After-Party
May 1, 2009 11:53 am
The crowd at Allison Sarofim’s West Village town house got totally hosed last night—literally—when a disgruntled neighbor doused the backyard patio. It happened just as the after-party for Julia, a new drama starring Tilda Swinton, was getting into full swing. The hostess (who was also celebrating her birthday) muttered something unprintable, but then she and her guests went back to partying—it was barely 11, after all. As Elise Øverland noted, shaking out a moist sleeve: “It’s just water! Who cares?” Swinton managed to stay dry—in both senses. “If I drink, I go to sleep,” she shrugged. “The truth is that I’ve been pretending to be drunk for years.” It’s a skill that served her well in the film, in which she plays a raging alcoholic who abducts a nine-year-old boy. And although she’s back to her lithe self now, the ethereal Scottish beauty packed on a few pounds for the role. “And I had to chain-smoke, which makes me feel really sick all the time,” she added. Across the terrace, another bleached-blond Briton, Agyness Deyn, said that all those temporary vices had been worth it. “When Tilda Swinton switches it on, it’s as if she’s on a roller coaster for her art,” she enthused. “I’m still in shock from the film,” she added. Cue cold shower?

Agyness Deyn is still in shock from the film, I’m still in shock that she is still a model. A nowhere from the UK with a false name and birthday date. How could you expect that I would love this fake woman. Many people in the world does, but I’m just the opposite and about Mrs. Swinton, she has a bad taste of clothing herself. Maybe she needs a stylist, hahaha, arriverderci
