I’m participating in the A-Z Blog Challenge. You can find the big list of participants by Googling. Each blog has a different theme. I’m doing a favorite movie of mine that starts with the days letter each day, but taking off on Sundays with a regular Kerry nonsense post.
The First Monday in May, 2016
The IMDB summary: A behind-the-scenes look at the preparations for the 2015 art exhibit, China: Through the Looking Glass held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, commonly referred to as the Met Gala, which has become one of the hottest tickets in town.
I decided to go with this wonderful documentary because most people don’t know what the Met Gala actually is. It’s not a fancy party or a costume ball. Every year, Vogue and the Costume Institute work to put together the biggest night in fashion and art, focusing on a new exhibition for that year. There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Gala and this doc touches on all areas.
Each year there is a theme. Guests are supposed to dress according to the theme; some do it better than others. Rhianna hit it out of the park for the year in the film.
The Gala is chaired or co-chaired by a couple of celebrities. You have to be invited — you can’t just buy a ticket. 500-700 people are invited, but they must pay for their tickets — at what is said to be $30,000 or $270,000 for a table. Oh, and just because you buy a table, don’t think you can choose who your table mates are. Anna Wintour has final say in that.
The event is the Met’s Costume Institute’s mainfundraiser each year and it’s expensive to put on. Every year, I look forward to seeing the celebrities arriving and I put my favorite looks of the night on this blog, so check back in May.
Starting today, should I have more than one pick, I’ll list runners-up. My F runners-up are Friday, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and The Fox and the Hound.
