But the whole purpose of a pannier is to extra feet to your physical presence... almost 1-2ft on either side if you’re wearing a modest one.

Right - but I don’t think anyone is denying her right to wear her outfit in public or other events, but the MET is a weird, old building with priceless art and huge crowds.

No, absolutely not. Many of us travel in plainclothes, and get dressed when we arrive. The hassle of travelling in kit, especially in a gown three zip codes wide, isn’t as bad as just getting there half an hour early and getting dressed in a classroom or bathroom.

I will also add that the museum has numerous lecture halls, classrooms, and meeting rooms available to rent to any outside groups for very reasonable rates and availability. It would have been much more of an appropriate setting for her to appear, and it would have been much easier for her to bring in all the other…

The issue seems to be that the Met has to approve someone showing up in what is essentially historical cosplay and either being mistaken for an actual employee, damaging something, or generally being in the way. Especially since this was on a day when the Met is packed. The three ladies mentioned aren’t in costume -…

While I’d love to expand on my distaste for her, I don’t want it to devolve into an all out mud-slinging showdown. I’d also like to attempt to keep some anonymity, since the last thing I need is her attempting to slander me in the historical reenacting community. While nobody worth their salt really takes her…

This I cannot confirm, but it’s been alleged she’s created burner accounts to not only hype her own posts, but also harass and cyber-stalk people she believes have wronged her after they’ve blocked her main account.

I think she is on here posing as her‘friend’ — unfortunately I already dismissed the comments but they were full of ‘Oh so this is the white privilege I have heard so much about? Where is my fancy car if white people are so privileged hmmmmmmmm? Really this SJW nonsense has to stop, you sound jealous...’ she sounds…

I need details. Major details.

Yes it actually was. It was more common for the upper class to wear pastel colors instead of the deep rich colors seen before the start of the 1700s. Everyone however had access to various colored fabrics. It was around this time that synthetic dyes came out so fashions were widely available for all classes. The gown…

Eliza Vincz, 26, told the Daily News she showed up at the Fifth Ave. museum Saturday afternoon wearing a handcrafted 18th century-style robe à la française made from blue silk taffeta with vintage details and lace dating to the 1850s.

But does she feel just like she’s walking on broken glass?

I work at a museum and our visitors aren’t even allowed to bring backpacks or large purses into the galleries. This is completely inappropriate. Not only that, but unauthorized tours are generally not allowed. Not to mention the fact that her appearance would absolutely be a distraction from curatorial vision and…

All that was code for “we kicked you out for being insufferable”.

I worked as a docent at the Met for over 5 years. Here’s a few points:
- she showed up on a Saturday afternoon, one of the busiest times of the week. If she was there on a Monday at 10am there may not have been an issue.
- panniers and big big dresses aren’t a great choice as they could hit art or some other patron…

I truly, truly, truly try to be tolerant of all people and just try to let people be happy, but come the fuck ON. I’m glad she got kicked out. I hope it happens again. Throw a fucking party if you want to put that shit on, or go to some kind of costume ball.
Anyone who’s cool with this, you cool with people dressing up…

There’s nothing more American than making money off of other people’s pain.

59$.... nope, if 100% of it went to a cause then I would gladly shell out the money but this just seems like a way to profit off victims so NOPE.

Putting it on a shirt is not justice, it’s a money maker. Justice is seeing even one of these men go to jail.
