Picking up from last time –
So, we hopped into a black car Uber and made our way to the ceremony. Our driver said he’d driven to tons of events like this before, even once having driven Meryl Streep.
I never noticed before we were in that car, that on special event days in my area, there are signs pointing the limos in the right direction.
(And, yes, we had to keep a “limo parking” sign in our dashboard so we were allowed in the limo line. So, no, you can’t grab a black car and ride around following the limo signs hoping to get in… Or maybe you can. who knows how much they pay attention to the dashboard sign – which I’d never noticed before, before red carpets… However, when am I really seeing the front of the car?)
So, we get there and even though I’d heard we were going to the “baby Emmys” or things like that since we were weren’t at the main ceremony, the greeter still opened the door and said, “Welcome to the Emmys,” which made me feel oh so special.
Did you know that your driver isn’t even allowed to get out and open your door at the event? There are tons of people out there in red jackets and white gloves whose job it is to open the door of the cars coming in.
Ah, the little details I learned getting to be a little Emmy princess for a night.
After we get out of the car, we get to walk the red carpet – which feels soft and lovely under my feet, even in my tall shoes.
Another little detail I found funny was that there was a special red carpet for celebrities. And then there was the wah wah red carpet, to which we were relegated. However, I still found it super fun and cool. Everyone I saw (including my group) was being a little nerdy, handing off phones and taking red carpet photos – but who wouldn’t?
As we were on our way inside, I realized I was in line with Laverne Cox and asked for a selfie because why not?
