It's Art Basel time!! And last night's opening party, thrown by the NY Times T Magazine at The Penthouse at The Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach, brought out the die hard art fans. This year, many predict a dramatic decline in money spent both on the major Art Festival and at it. Art may be the last thing that many would think about buying right now, but that's not stopping art enthusiasts like the Schnabels, Calvin Klein, Takashi Murakami (who showed up in a festive flower power costume), Stefano Tonchi, Naomi Campbell, Rachel Zoe, and Pharrell Williams among others. Yours truly will be heading down Friday to check out the scene.

How does one entertain an avowed misopolitan in one of the citiest of cities? Normally, when our s.o. makes his way over from Delaware, OH, we take him to Soho, the West Village, Gramercy Park. "See," we say. "New York can be pretty." He will shrug, too distracted by a minked and Birkened denizen catwalking to the beat of a coffee cup of coins to notice the nice blue door, or the window box of geraniums. So this time, we decided to venture off-island, into uncharted Burgs and Slopes.
Just in case you didn’t get enough bronze-molded breastplates and magic laser belts growing up or, in my case, had an older brother more interested in playing dress up, there’s hope. The Met has announced the slated arrival of their new exhibit Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, which it describes in completely understated terms as an exploration of the “symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero…[that] will reveal how the superhero serves as the ultimate metaphor for fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body.” Funny, I thought only Fluidity had that kind of effect on the human thighs body. In any case, our favorite crazy-haired New Yorker contributor has given us a brief tour of his childhood superhero fetish that includes this choice passage:
