Not so fast. Even if you have $75,000, put it back in your signature logo-covered Louis Vuitton wallet. Tonight's Brooklyn Ball event -- featuring an exclusive performance by Kanye West -- at the Brooklyn Museum (in, um, Brooklyn), is way sold out. Not that we could afford the ticket price (bargain basement tickets started at $1,000 and went up to $75,000 -- hope that included dessert!), which could double as a down payment on a nice home in many parts of the world.
The event is the kickoff for an exhibit by Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami, whose work is on display at the museum through July, and whose jock Kanye totally rides -- Murakami did the artwork on Kanye's Graduation album.
Also on the agends: a Louis Vuitton pop-up store with limited-edition Murakami goods, and on the VIP list: even co-chairs Marc Jacobs and Jay-Z (with wifey-to-be Beyonce, perhaps?), plus lots of other rich people.
Uh, not that we have $75,000, (or even a $7.50 to spare) but still, we'll save our pennies for Kanye's Glow In the Dark Tour; we told you it'd be hype, and, true to his larger-than-life ambitions, he's about to outdo himself -- check out the set.
And have your own ghetto version of the Brooklyn Ball: watch Kanye's Murakami-esque "Good Life" video. Bonus: it's free!
