I received an email encouraging me to notify all who might be interested  
that the Metropolitan Museum of Art is having a blog party about their upcoming 
 
exhibit  Blog mode: Addressing Fashion at 
_http://blog.metmuseum.org/blogmode/_ (http://blog.metmuseum.org/blogmode/) 
The show includes forty costumes and accessories dating from the 18th  
century to the present. Each of the costumes is in a thumbnail. Of course, I 
was  
trying to blow up some of the later listed costumes, looking for our  favorite 
textile, lace, but I could only blow up the first three items. I think  that 
they are writing an introductory blog on one item each day,  thus initiating 
the 
blog on that item, since there are now, only three  items that seem to be 
fully functional in terms of enlarging them in size and  blogging on them. I 
may 
be wrong about this since my computer skills are  limited. In any case, the 
purpose of the blog party is to stimulate a  dialogue about fashion. Apparently 
there will even be terminals in the museum  where you can blog about your 
reactions to the costumes.
 
I can tell by squinting at the thumbnails that a couple of the dresses are  
18th century and may well have lace on them worthy of comment when they are  
finally rolled out for blogging.
