The wryly reported dispatch from the waiting-to-see Tut line became a staple of late-70s newspapers and magazines, as did jaded commentary from the hype-averse; in Doonesbury, Garry Trudeau portrayed a museum guard boasting, “The Boy King Necrobilia Collection is the hottest ticket since Elvis!” But Tut-mania also begat an exuberant return of 1920s-style Egyptophilia, though of a more glammy strain. Bloomingdale’s, then at the height of its taste-making pomp, unveiled lines of Tut-inspired jewelry and housewares, including linens and a tote bag bearing the I ♥ NEW YORK slogan spelled out in hieroglyphics. Candy Pratts Price, who at the time designed the store’s window and floor displays (and is now a contributing editor at Vogue), ordered a life-size knockoff of the masked Tut in his tomb, surrounded it with sand, and put her faux pharaoh on display in the home-furnishings section. The heiress turned bank robber Patty Hearst, before she was packed off to jail, caught the Tut show with her parents at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where she ran into Cher. Linda Ronstadt, admiring the statue of Selket at the New Orleans Museum of Art, remarked, “Just look at her—that pose just tells men to stay away. I could use that with my drummer.”www.vanityfair.com/culture/2013/04/king-tut-exhibit-new-york
