Peachy at The Met: Exclusive Interview with Mover and Shaker Anna Wintour in Honor of the New Exhibit American Woman! We love The Met, we love Fashion and we love Anna!!! And we asked her one impossible question...

Today, Peachy Deegan was at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the unveiling of American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity and she was lucky enough to capture a few moments of Anna Wintour's time to chat.

Peachy Deegan: How did you enjoy doing the exhibit this year?

Anna Wintour: Well I'm not personally in any way responsible for the exhibition, it's Andrew Bolton who's curator of The Costume Institute. I'm just here to help support him and work on the party.

Of the different decades in the different rooms that were featured, which did you enjoy the most?

Well I think they're all wonderful. I think what Shane and Nathan did with the screens and backdrops- is absolutely just extraordinary and each one reflects the archetype personally so I was just thrilled with the whole exhibition.

Of the whole exhibition, if you could pick one gown to wear tonight, which one would you pick and why?

Oh well that's an impossible question to answer they're all wonderful!

How about 5?

Well, one from each room! (And she smiled.)

Thank you Anna for your graciousness and the opportunity to speak with you! Thank you to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who always put on excellent exhibitions, the very best in Manhattan.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
