Hmm, that brings up another point. Is this high or low brow art? I'm going to go with high brow. What do you think? “you can’t say that it’s a bad thing for others to follow suit into bringing their ideas into their work, be it high or low brow.”

Obviously, if the clothes warrant it, and are made of expensive fabrics and such, they would be quite costly. It's nice that such high fashion recognizes the comic book art for inspiration. As long as the comic book medium does not die and people are getting paid for their work, you can't say that it's a bad thing for others to follow suit into bringing their ideas into their work, be it high or low brow.

I remember a conversation with someone who had just seen X3. They thought it was great, but kept calling Wolverine and Storm "Claw Man and Weather Girl." Mainstream doesn't always mean respected. Anyway, I don't think we should ever worry about being "mainstream" as long as we can make a living doing what we love, and there are people who love what we do. We know we rock, and that's what's important. I think it’s chipping away at them, but only little by little. I remember a conversation with someone who had just seen X3.

Bam! Pow! Superheros at the MET." Yep. They said it. We should make this redundant crime a crime of redundancy, to anyone in the media, who is a reporter, who reports using this overused catch line, in their headline, that goes at the top, bottom, or anywhere in between, in their article. It's redundant. It was redundant in the early 80's. It's redundant now, and I don't think it's going to stop being redundant. Someone send out an APB to these redundant reporter/media types. Don't be redundant with the POW's and the BLAM's and the like, in your redundant headlines. :) “Wam! Bam! Pow! Superheros at the MET.”

I believe they also design the fashion each personality wears. Perhaps designing fashion based on the theme is a bit gauche, since a designer could be seen as either trying to upstage the exhibition, or being compared unfavorably to something on exhibit. Is that Anna Wintour in the sparkly white dress? She looks deliciously EVIL. According to the Daily News, the designers invite the stars to the Costume Institute Gala.
