About a month ago, I'm walking by the Met, outside the windows of the Temple of Dendur, and a friend of mine looks in and says, "That looks like Superman's house in there." The Met was setting up some swanky party, but I really doubted Superman had anything to do with it. And I was wrong. Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy was opening.I have to admit, I ran through the exhibit quickly. Nothing really caught my attention -- although I did enjoy seeing super-enlarged comic art, most by Alex Ross, used as backdrops. It wasn't until I saw the runway shots in the catalog that I realized what was missing for me was motion. Seeing the costumes and clothes in action, even if caught on film or in comic pages, made more sense to me than seeing them hung over stiff mannequins.
Still, no day at the Met is a bad one...
