You might be an art snob if...
July 30, 2004
- The colors of your concert-going wardrobe are so dark that you need a flashlight to approach your closet.
- You use diminutive forms of an artist's name—"Misha" for Mikhail Baryshnikov, for instance—even if you've never met them.
- The words "deconstruction," "jejune" or "post-modern" have ever come out of your mouth.
- You've ever groused about the quality of the Brie or Chardonnay at an opening-night gala.
- Any sort of conversation of popular art gives you an instant nasal infection that causes you to sniff with incessant self-importance
- You bemoan the fact that "no one dresses for the theater anymore."
- A friendly discussion about the relative merits of the first quarto of "Hamlet" versus the second has erupted into a fistfight.
- You spend more time scoping out the audience than paying attention to what's going on on the stage.
- You go to a "bistro" before an opening night instead of a restaurant.
- You've ever used the expression "Pearls before swine" to describe anything except actual pearls before actual swine.
