I know this has been posted elsewhere today—I’ve seen it all over Facebook. But I wanted to congratulate the winners on a job well done! And also to offer my personal thank you to all those behind-the-scenes people who make the Whitney Awards and Gala possible.
Also, my candy dress was a hit with my table mates! (But it’s a good thing I wore a jumpsuit under it. They were hungry!)
