Four hours on line at the Metropolitan Museum to see the genius designer, Alexander McQueen, gave us time to people watch. A posse of zahftig wanna-be models made us think they were hookers, in their tight dresses and sky-scraper high heels. They ate ice cream, hot dogs, and frosted cupcakes. Models, not.
The couple in front of us looked Scandinavian, and were from Barcelona, Spain.
The family behind us waited four hours, with two young children, (they went home the day before), taking turns to sit with them on the steps to the museum.
Vendors became millionaires, it was a terrible hair day, and bad color abounded. I felt like passing out cards for the Geo Palette, revolutionary color that can only be gotten at certified salons. The flagship salon, Bewitched Salon, at 956 Broadway, Woodmere, NY is only a ride away on the F train!
But it was hot and airless, and we were herded like cattle to a waiting arena inside, where we shuffled along for another two hours.
The exhibit was wonderful… gorgeous, dramatic, with a mysterious soundtrack accompanying sado-masochistic images that were pure beauty. The little boy watched videos in his father’s arms, and ignored the collection.
The little girl asked her mother, “Was all of this done by a dead man?”
“Yes,” said the mother simply, and hand in hand, they wandered through the exhibit, drinking in the glory that was Alexander McQueen.
My feet still hurt. -JC
