Karl Lagerfeld at the MET-Try This Game on for a Prize

Karl Lagerfeld (b. Germany 1933-2019) was a famous fashion designer whose illustrious career begin  in the 1950s at Fashion Houses Balmain, Patou and Chloe before joining and residing with Channel in 1983.  Lagerfeld and Chanel became synonymous with each other and haute couture.  Lagerfeld, known for his haughty look donning dark sunglasses, pony tail, gloves and his ubiquitous fan, was also known for his detest for the mundane and the ways minions dress.  The jet setters, royalty and fashion connoisseurs crave his creations.  Lagerfeld deigns have garnered numerous prestigious awards.  Prior to his death in 2015, Lagerfeld was honored with the Outstanding Achievement Award at the British Fashion Awards  presented by the snobbish, fashion elitist, Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of American Vogue.  Wintour's look, like Lagerfeld, hasn't wavered over the years.  Wintour is known for wearing omnipresent sunglasses and the same coif; a chin length bob with bangs.  The MET gala, a major money maker for the museum has been lorded over by Wintour since 1995.  The biggest annual fashion event is always held on the first Tuesday in May; the only day the museum is closed to the public so it can prepare to host a cadre of celebrities showing off their finery.  These cosseted beautiful people are the first to view the Fashion Institute's Show for the year.  After the opening, the general public gets their chance to peruse the showcases of clothes.  Most outfits cost more than the monthly paychecks of the proletarians.  However, Lagerfeld's show is so popular to the masses, timed admittance to the exhibit is enforced to make the viewing more assessable.  I concede I bypassed the general que as I was with my girlfriend who is a docent at the MET.  This enabled us to whisk straight into the exhibit after my estimable companion flashed her badge of honor.  Still, the throngs made a leisurely ramble through the show impossible.  The rooms were smaller, the entire exhibit smaller and the crowd more contemptuous than previous shows.  In each room a loud recording could be heard admonishing the bumptious louts to step back.  This was only a temporary solution for the looky-looes who kept getting too close to the clothes.  I designed a game to allow for interactive fun.  First, attend with a good friend.  Then, in each room select the outfit you would pick for yourself and the outfit you think you friend would choose for themselves.  My erudite friend found this to be quite amusing.  She also excelled in choosing what I would select for myself.  The winner gets to pick one item from the exhibit they would most like to take home.  The loser (me) has to snare the selected prize ensemble after hours.  This must played at another time after hours which may result in time spent wearing pin-stripes or orange jumpsuits.  Enjoy!
