Immigrant Song Flash Mob at Stella McCartney Dinner

In the fashion world, designers throw dinners where top chefs ply writers, designers, models and other fashion VIPs with the best food. Add in a musical performance, often by a new up and coming act or guest who is not in performance mode, and you have a memorable night.

On Saturday Stella McCartney threw her dinner, and guests were treated to a flash mob by members of the Royal Ballet and 16 models, dancing to Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. The performers all wore Stella McCartney, natch, and models Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow, and Yasmin Le Bon were lifted in their chairs and carried to another table - they were presumably in on the fun.

The stunt was choreographed by Spanish choreographer Blanca Li.

The Girl With The Immigrant Song Tattoo

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series of books and movies has been some of the best of the past number of years. The first Dragon Tattoo movie was outstanding, even if in Swedish. Now they are remaking it for American audiences starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.

I dislike Daniel Craig. I think his little man-boy version of James Bond is atrocious, pouty in lieu of tough. I consider the Bond franchise rather spoiled by him, and expect him to have similar effect on the "Girl With..." franchise.

The trailer for the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo movie was released last week, featuring Trent Reznor and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs performing Led Zeppelin's The Immigrant Song.



Lets just say, I'm no more optimistic about The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo today than I was yesterday.
