Très chic!

Now that the Metropolitan Opera Shop, located in the Lincoln Center Campus' Metropolitan Opera House, has closed for renovations on April 30, we are left wondering where we will go to satisfy that disposable income merchandising itch until they re-open in September (I mean, yeah, you can order online, but still...)

Aside from uncountable receipts deducted from the box office alone for those must-have performances, OC is guilty of spending way too much money on the Metropolitan brand throughout the years. Below is a fond reminiscence of one of the unique purchases from the shoppe.

It's bracelet with a printed strip of leather bearing the MET Opera House facade sewn to a piece of denim. So ugly, it becomes a beautiful butterfly! So c'mon, admit it...who else bought one?

The totally Metropolitan Opera denim leather cuff VVVVVVV

Who has disposable income when I'm through paying my Amazon bill? You temptress, OC--I now have a wish list a mile long, and it's
all your fault.

P.S. Very cool cuff--nice mix of high and low chic.

P.P.S. Speaking of bankruptcy, when are you going to give us the comprehensive, annotated list of recordings with the OC seal of approval?

OMG! I want one!

My purchases at the met shop are limited to stationery showing those dogs dressed as opera characters and an item that encompasses all my favorite nerdy things: a coffee mug of a scrabble board with all opera words! See a photo here: http://luindriel.blogspot.com/2008/04/convergence.html
