This is to show where the idea may have bubbled up from, the idea that made it's way to MOCA's gala last week where tables of twenty had real live heads popping up through them, to be observed from both directions during dinner.
Here Cecil Beaton gives us a more genteel look at fashion, shall we say, while at the same time skewers it, well, fashionably.
Oh, Barge! Saw the Beaton show a couple of weeks ago. La crème de la glam! Mona Bismarck, Gertrude&Alice, Ruth Ford, the Sitwells and the sweller swells all sitting so well (sorry, Gertrude.) And that rose-strewn wallpaper! Must admit I find the whole Garbo fixation just a bit dicey. Somehow, the idea of Cecil and Greta doing anything in the dark is more ick-making than the idea of one's parents doing anything in the dark.
