A pottery bowl with human feet. I love this silly thing. The Met says it resembles the hieroglyph meaning “to bring”, though (amateur theory warning) I’ve always wondered if it was meant to spell wab, “to wash”.

Met Gala 2023.

Fashions change, but there is one look that never goes out of style.

And you bet your a*s it's an itty-bitty-kitty wearing a French Net. But this is not just any kitty-cat: this is Choupette, of the late, great fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld for #met gala 2023. 

This year, the great, good, and outrageously sexy gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the one and only, nEwWĕ yörKę citæyyyyy for the event known as "The Super Bowl of Fashion." Here, a sheer mass of the glitziest, most glam celebz sported pearls, starched collars, and black and white to honor the legendary German designer, who passed away in 2019. For this year's theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty", invite-only attendees were asked to wear clothes "in honor of Karl". And honor, they did, with an array of designs, dresses, and costumes to astonish, illuminate, and bedazzle. And dashboard beloveds Pedro Pascal, Lizzo, K.Stew, and Harvey Guillén turned heads and served, quite frankly.

Yashima Gakutei (Japan, 1786?–1868)

Crabs Near the Water's Edge, c.1830

Woodblock print (surimono); ink & color on paper

8 x 7 5/16 in. (20.3 x 18.6 cm)

Metropolitan Museum of Art New York JP1138

“As the poem at the left is by the leader of the Katsushika poetry group, Bunbunsha Kanikomaru (Little Crab), it is not surprising that the subject of this surimono is the tiny benkei crab, drawn, as customary, to appear somewhat comical. The second poem, on the right, is by the important actor and figure in Edo, Ichikawa Danjuro VII, signed Sansho the seventh, his pen name.”
