While Lena Dunham, Psy, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim and Kanye, and other people who are rich and famous will be at the annual Met Gala tonight, you will just be at home eating cold leftovers and staring at your laptop in hopes of making some connection with the outside world from your lonely bed. But maybe tonight can be different? As the famous people enter the gala there will be a livestream so you can watch them, just laughing it up in their jewels and couture with not a care in the world! This year's theme is PUNK: Chaos and Couture, so to help you get into the mindset and to really feel like you're a part of it, take some heroin (not too much!) and pair your "vintage" Urban Outfitters tee with an upscale, overpriced version of something punk.
