Tony and Eva in the car

I have been to the Met Ball Benefit for the Costume Institute for decades and 2009 was maybe one of the best ones!!!

Of course the dozens and dozens of gorgeous models did add to the beautiful atmosphere and the mood.  The Museum stairs and corridors were covered in zebra carpeting and the Temple of Dendur was turned into an Egyptian fantasy of the old El Morocco.

The exhibition curated by Harold Koda was really fun and daring, but I will have to go back another time to enjoy it… I was too busy taking photos until my camera flew on the marble floor and broke!!

Rosario Dawson in the Clara dress

Actress Rosario Dawson is our next wonder woman to answer our questions about the inspirations in her own life.  Read on to hear what makes her “PTBW” (Proud to be a Woman!)

What inspires you? Music, art, kindness, passion, travel, sunsets, flowers, wisdom, teaching, learning, rainbows in the clouds, beauty, love, community, stories, humor, honesty, imperfection, rainy days and so much more. I’ve a lust for life!

What makes you proud to be a woman? I love sisterhood, the feminine mystique, the idea of mother earth vs father time. Women possess a unique connection to life that exemplifies endurance, strength, ability, and creativity. I look forward to women supporting each other as leaders and claiming more of their power.

What are you celebrating this month? I support those women who are struggling, hurting, scared, abused, hungry and in need. I hope and pledge to help and advocate for you all as much as possible. You are not forgotten. I honor and celebrate my mother, my grandmother and all those women whose love, work and sacrifices make my life possible. I thank you Diane for being one of those women. Your openness and tenacity are such an inspiration to me. You are a true wonder woman.
