The Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a> held its 2009 Corporate Benefit on Wednesday night. The honorees were Michael J. Kowalksi, chairman and chief executive of some non-WendyB jewelry place<\/a>, and my dear friend, Ambassador Carl Spielvogel<\/a>. (Carl is married to the gorgeous Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, previously mentioned here<\/a>.) I wore the beautiful Zang Toi gown that I wore in February to the Vanity Fair Oscar party<\/a>. I figured that the East Coast needed to see the ass-flower gown<\/a>; the West Coast can’t have all the fun!<\/p>\n

We got to view the new American Wing, which was recently reopened with Michelle Obama there to cut the ribbon<\/a>. At dinner, I had a lovely time talking to my tablemate, Ralph Appelbaum<\/a>, who designs (non-art) museums, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/a> in Washington and the Planetarium<\/a> here in New York.<\/p>\n

I loved that the charming security guard we met on the way out was named Aramis, after one of the three Musketeers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Aramis kindly posed for a picture<\/p>\n

Congratulations again to Ambassador Spielvogel!<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: For those who were wondering, I was wearing the gold Louis Vuitton shoes that Jennine<\/a> modeled in this post<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
