On October 28 the actors of "Milk" hit the red carpet and I was special enough to have my own little nook right there where all the action was happening! The celebs who played out the life of
Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official, were all at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco (well, most of them were):
Emile Hirsch,
James Franco,
Allison Pill,
Josh Brolin,
Diego Luna and of course
Sean Penn (who plays the title character). Everyone looked handsome and dapper, but the one piece of clothing that stood out to me was a dude who went casual chic with pair of slip-on
Vans by
Marc Jacobs from Spring/Summer 2007 (unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to interrogate him). Out of ALL the luxury clothing that stomped on this red carpet, this stood out to me. Shocking, huh? But I do have a legitimate reason- I saw these quirky wingtip Marc Jacobs Vans at the sneaker store,
Huf in San Francisco. I demonstrated shopping control and didn't buy them because I wasn't ready to add weight to my credit card. A couple weeks later, when I was ready to buy them, they were gone. I have been kicking myself ever since. Fortunately, since I saw a random person on the red carpet with these chic sneakers, it reinvigorated my obsession. The Vans were limited edition, but luckily, I found a site that had the sneakers with Marc Jacobs's personality written all over them. But if you do care to buy a pair, act fast. You don't want to make the same mistake I did. They don't call them limited edition for nothing.
