Dr. Metablog

Dr. Metablog is the nom de blague of Vivian de St. Vrain, the pen name of a resident of the mountain west who writes about language, books, politics, or whatever else comes to mind. Under the name Otto Onions (Oh NIGH uns), Vivian de St. Vrain is the author of “The Big Book of False Etymologies” (Oxford, 1978) and, writing as Amber Feldhammer, is editor of the classic anthology of confessional poetry, “My Underwear” (Virago, 1997).

What I Wore to the Oscars, 2022

Friends and relations have been clamoring to know what I wore to the Oscar ceremony this year.  So here goes:

My ensemble: plaid wool shirt by Woolrich; trousers by Lee ("Extreme Comfort" cut — smoky quartz color); white cotton "Gold Toe" socks by Costco; shoes by Hoka (orthopedic inserts by Dr. Scholl); leather belt by SlideBelts; foundational undergarments by Fruit of the Loom and Carhartt. Denim jacket by American Apparel. Accessories: eyeglasses by Kirkland Signature; hearing aids by Phonak. Traditional baseball cap by Otto ("one size fits most.")
 
Hair by SuperCuts.
 
Once again, I'd like to thank all the little people — my fashion consultants, suppliers, and supporters — for their imagination and hard work. I couldn't have done it without the entire team.
 
Note.  Full disclosure: in fact, I didn't attend the actual awards ceremony. This ensemble is what I wore to watch the Oscars on TV. Well, that's not entirely true either. I forgot to watch the Oscars. But I did wear the outfit.
