Heh. Mistress of ceremonies. Heh.



edited to clarifiy - I try not to use gendered titles, so when 'mistress' comes up I'm generally amused. Especially when it's Amber.

Is anyone else reminded of the dear Mr. Rogers song "Won't you be my Neighbor?"





"Won't you please? Oh won't you be my Mistress?"







Glad she's keeping busy.

This could be fun... think about it



Amber says, "Could someone please get me some water?"



Reply, "Yes Mistress" Repeat as needed to anything that she says...



Like I said, could be fun... I may have to get out to Cali for this...

Hee... That was funny, LC!



If I could afford to, I would go in a heartbeat.



Did anyone else get a mental pic of Amber in a bunch of leather because of the word, 'mistress?'







I must go cool off now!

Amber wearing Vamp Willow's leather get-up from "Dopplegangland", now it is getting really hot in here.

Definitely time for a cold shower.

But first, I must look at those photos of her again from the wrap party.

A shout-out to any other "Doctor Who" fans out there as I can picture K-9 following behind Amber saying "satisfactory, mistress" each time he has performed a task for her.

Perhaps Amber would even say "yes K-9, what do you want, a biscuit?"

[mscheckmate]

Very tempted, but very working that night.



Now I officially hate my job.

It'll be the train, Walter, just the way you want it. Straight down the line.

[Jennpurr]

Taralicious,



I was picturing Vamp Willow's get-up and scene in, "The Wish." Where she says, "Willow's gonna make you bark!" Just switch the actors.



Good god, it's hot in here. Okay, I'm leaving now and am going to go and get my thoughts back in the right place and just sit in total awe of all that is, Amber.



I truely am happy for her and blown away at all the things she is doing lately. This should be interesting. I sooo wish I could go.

(Burbank, CA ­ April 3, 2003) Fashion and design in Los Angeles will come together when Woodbury presents its 2003 fashion show, Metropolo: a mid-century night's dream.

Coty Award-winning designer Gustave Tassell, whose contributions to Jacqueline JFK's wardrobe are now on exhibit in Paris at the Louvre in Jacqueline JFK: the White House Years, will receive the Woodbury Design Award. Woodbury will honor the creative collaboration of Hutton Wilkinson and the late Tony Duquette in interior design, jewelry, sculpture and painting with the Style Award. Architectural photographer Julius Shulman also will lend his famous image of Pierre Koenig's Case Study House No. 22 for the Woodbury show. Amber Benson, who plays Tara in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will emcee.

In the new climate of a media savvy Camelot at the dawn of the 1960s, Los Angeles would emerge unchallenged as the nation's media capital and the embodiment of mid-century values and Modernist style.

Imagining AB in full "Vamp Willow" attire, smacking one of the designers with a riding crop, causing the designer to say...



"Thank you, Mistress, may I have another...."

Metropolo



The theme of the 2003 Theater of Fashion offering, Metropolo: a mid-century night's dream, showcased the outstanding work of Woodbury's fashion design students against an evolving background of urban landscape.



More than 500 guests attended the 39th annual gala fashion show at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.



Coty Award-winning designer Gustave Tassell, whose contributions to Jacqueline JFK's wardrobe are currently being exhibited in Paris at the Louvre in Jacqueline JFK: the White House Years, received the Woodbury Design Award. Woodbury also honored the creative collaboration of Hutton Wilkinson and the late Tony Duquette with the Style Award. Architectural photographer Julius Shulman loaned his famous image of Case Study House No. 22 for the Woodbury show.



Amber Benson, who plays Tara in the UPN series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," was mistress of ceremonies.



Metropolo is the story of the City of Angels coming into its own as America's other great city. In the new climate of a media savvy Camelot at the dawn of the 1960s, Los Angeles would emerge unchallenged as the nation's media capital and the embodiment of mid-century values and Modernist style. Gucci creative director Tom Ford has referred to the style of mid-century modern Los Angeles as "the style of today."



The annual event represents the interdisciplinary resources of Woodbury's School of Architecture and Design. Proceeds fund scholarships for deserving fashion design students and benefit Woodbury's vintage fashion collection.



Wells Fargo was a distinguished benefactor of the 2003 show.
