...Whitney Museum: Your wife says she wants a Monet print from the Met, but don't you think she might actually be much happier with a Lichtenstein or a Warhol? We think so, too. Even after your visit to the gift shop, there's plenty to see at the Whitney, from avant-garde lawn sculptures to totally incomprehensible oil paintings. Note to party leaders: Please alert Museum staff well ahead of time in the event that John Ashcroft wishes to pay a visit. Staff will require at least a week for ordering and positioning special opaque draping materials...

"Warhol is a universal language," Treacy says. "We've gone for the most obvious choices first." Picture a hat with Marilyn Monroe's face hanging above the wearer's; a Campbell's soup...
...Maria Luisa in Paris, 10 Corso Como in Milan and Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Harrods in London. Expect prices to run from j70 for a visor to j310 for a bag, and there are only 2,000 of each color. If that sounds pricey, consider how much a real Warhol would run you. Sotheby's is expecting between $4 million and $6 million for Lavender Marilyn (1) at its contemporary art auction in New York on Nov. 12.
