The Envelope, Please
For the most part, once you’ve left fifth grade in the dust, you’re done with fill-in-the-blank questions, but — thanks in part to Sandra Reed, the winner of Wear What When’s first ever ticket giveaway — I’m now of the mind that it wouldn’t hurt to pull a few out every now and again.
You’ll recall that I prompted this
Steve McQueen may be _________________________ but Alexander McQueen is _______________________.
in last week’s post about the FACE on Thursday (there’s still time to buy your tickets!).
Well, Ms. Reed’s reply was
Steve McQueen may be a vision but Alexander McQueen is a visionary.
True, true, very true.
Sandra’s replies to the objective questions were all correct, too. She’s not the only one who aced the test, she’s just the only one who keyed into my crush on the first Mr. McQueen. (Oh would that I was born twenty-five years earlier…I might have been Ali MacGraw…)
Thanks to everyone for playing, and thanks to FACE for giving us two tickets to giveaway. We’ll have to do something like this again real soon.
So — Sandra, you’re there. For free. The rest of you will have to pony up.
To get you primed and ready, I’ve prepared a short slideshow (courtesy style.com) of famous fashion show audience members from recent shows. If anyone outdoes Ms. Piagi on Thursday night—no wait, no one can outdo Ms. Piagi. Never mind.
