Emily Blunt wears ‘pot dress’; unintentional 420 moment on red carpet

While Emily Blunt was being serious on Thursday night walking the red carpet at the five Year Engagement premiere during 2012 Tribeca Film Festival at the Ziegfeld Theatre the rest of America looked at her gown and giggling. Fans were wondering what type of leaves are on her dress? the dress, from Jason Wu’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection, was playful gown that had quite a bit attention and everyone what thinking about weed.

Now it’s safe to say that Emily Blunt probably has seen her share of pot references, thanks to her last name. However this pot reference could be because Earth Day is only a day away or maybe the idea of having gigantic leafy looking design on the front of the gown. whatever the reason, it’s safe to say that the leaves on the dress made everyone think of pot. hence her gown is being referenced as the pot dress.

While most fashion definitely isn’t put into the context of 420 or not 420, the dress choice Emily Blunt brought to the red carpet could have been a little less leafy and a lot more formal. either way the actress was walking down the carpet to celebrate the five Year Engagement premiere.

Digging deep to drill Highway 99 tunnel

Below the Alaskan way Viaduct, workers are preparing to dig a 420-foot-long pit where a giant boring machine will be launched in June 2013 to drill the Highway 99 tunnel through downtown Seattle.

At the moment when the accompanying photograph was taken Wednesday afternoon, a crane crew was spinning an auger (foreground) to remove dirt and water, while another crew was inserting a temporary steel tube (background).

Steel rebar is to be inserted into each of 226 shafts, and then cement poured down the hole to form a buried pillar. each is about 5 feet in diameter and about 90 feet deep.

Two rows of these pillars will form the walls of the pit after the dirt between them is scooped away. so far, one-fourth of the 226 pit pillars have been poured.

The 57 ½-foot tunnel-boring machine will travel under the viaduct near Yesler way. at that site, scores of steel-and-concrete rods are being inserted to reduce risks of soil settlement that might damage the old highway or Pioneer Square buildings.

The new four-lane, $2 billion tunnel to South Lake Union is scheduled to open at the end of 2015.
