ART: Art, fashion and blogs meet tonight at the Met. In an exhibition entitled blog.mode: addressing fashion, viewers will be able to comment on what they see. It's "the first in a series of shows designed to promote critical and creative dialogues about fashion. The exhibition presents some forty costumes and accessories dating from the eighteenth century to the present." Visitors are then encouraged to share their reactions online or from a "blogbar" of computer terminals in the exhibition galleries. Pictured is one of the dresses -- you know you have comment about it.

Michael Showalter has joined the faculty of the Peoples Improv Theater. The PIT is home of the most prestigious professional comedy writing program in the country and has added him as one of the four new teachers to their faculty.

Gothamist loves regional humor, but we also know that references to, say, the Naked Cowboy can get lost in translation...or transportation for that matter, if made anywhere else. Massholia, the theatrereflective's latest production which is showing now at the Flamboyan Theater at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural and Educational Center on the Lower East Side, is a clever musical that may rely a little too heavily on Bay State related humor for it to be widely accepted in New York. Fortunately Gothamist spent some of its formative years in Massachusetts and can totally appreciate jokes about field trips to Old Sturbridge Village and furniture purveyors Bernie and Phyl. For us, a show like Massholia exists to lovingly poke fun at that particular commonwealth (NOT a state, mind you, but a commonwealth) and its offbeat inhabitants. Unfortunately for the majority of New Yorkers a lot of the jokes might as well be a ground ball hit to Buckner, missed at the most crucial moment. This is not to say the show is not funny and entertaining, Massholia's cast is talented and each actor has great comic ability. Kimmy Gatewood stands out as a modern day revolutionary who happens to be obsessed with the magical turkey who lives in the woods, and Nathan Phillips' hip hop backup dance moves are hilarious.
