A lot happened, and I saw it all. Or at least most of it.
So unless you live under a rock you know that last night the MTV VMAs went down in Los Angeles. I might not be famous BUT I did get to go to the show. Here's what happened.

Getting ready for an awards show is kind of like prepping for a zombie apocalypse: You never can really be too prepared.
You know how doomsday preppers have underground rooms filled with flashlights and canned food in case of the Apocalypse? If you're smart, you will prepare the same way for awards shows. Here's what was in my survival kit AKA the tote bag I lugged into the show:
— A protein bar, a Kind bar, and a Clif bar. I got really hungry.
— A Gatorade and a water. I'm always dehydrated.
— Chewable Gatorade (yes that's a thing) in case security confiscated my liquids.
— Sunscreen. I'm really pale, and we thought the carpet was going to be outside.
— Deodorant. You cannot have B.O. around celebrities. It's a rule.
— A toothbrush, toothpaste, and gum. Champagne breath is REAL, y'all.
— A towel. I get really shiny, and I needed to wipe myself down during the red carpet interviews. #GLAM
— An iPhone charger and charge pack. Because let's be real, if I wasn't prepared Karma was going to be a bitch and my phone would have died well before Kanye declared he was running for president.
— My glasses, contacts case, and contact solution. OK, those might have been unnecessary.

You should dress for comfort, like if you wanted to stay in and watch Netflix but look good at the same time.
The thing is, the VMAs dress code seems to best be described as "dress really crazy." Everyone has insane and/or chic outfits on — there are tuxes, pasties, so much neon, you name it, someone is wearing it (or not wearing it!). Therefore, the way to actually stand out is to dress for comfort and not to be noticed. After all, you'll be spending several hours standing in a hot room, waiting in line forever, getting up and down from your seat to pee, and drinking, drinking, drinking. So I opted for something cozy — a short-sleeve button down shirt my friend accidentally left at my house, shorts I found on my bedroom floor, and nice-ish boots. And I felt pretty good about my outfit choice.
