I sat on the actual Iron Throne from 'Game of Thrones' - here's what it was like
Meryl Gottlieb
I sat in the Iron Throne, looking down at all of my constituents - or rather, the other people waiting in line to take their turn to sit in the replica of the famous "Game of Thrones" prop.
Until June 28, the Iron Throne is housed in the Gilt concept shop in Saks Off Fifth in New York City and is ready to be your new profile picture. Gilt partnered with HBO Now to create "Game of Thrones"-inspired fashion and "Girls" and "Sex and the City" experiences. Gilt curated draped dresses, gladiator sandals, and more to resemble the Westeros style.
HBO loaned the shop a replica of the Iron Throne along with replicas of the Hound's Helm, Daenerys' three dragon eggs, and famed swords, such as Arya Stark's Needle and Brienne of Tarth's Oathkeeper.
Taejha Richardson, who is president of the "Game of Thrones" fan club among her colleagues at ExpandED Schools, was just as geeked out to be there as I was.
"I didn't know that I was a nerd, but now I do," she said. "Someone sent the article to me as a joke... and I was like, 'Oh I'm too cool to do that.' And then I'm here, so obviously I'm not that cool, but I'm still happy."
