Holy famous People!!

I'm terribly sorry about my Kentucy Derby picks. Who would have thought I couldn't pick horses?

I'm even more sorry that I forgot to bring my camera to work today. Why? Well, it's the annual Costume Institute Party of the Year. Hooray for gala events on Mondays.

I saw Naomi Campbell and some other Victoria's Secret model, whose name I don't know and google hasn't figured out how to search for faces yet so, I'm still at a loss. I would describe her as tall and also pretty.

I heard Jennifer Hudson was doing a sound test in The American Wing court which is decked out in all these crazy, motley colors and the Great Hall is covered in roses and has a giant birdcage with four live peacocks in it. The plates for the dinner are going for $5000, although that might just be the entrance fee. It's all for a good cause and it's probably tax deductible, but drinks are extra.

It makes the Greek and Roman opening look like a dinner at Denny's. Man, why aren't there Denny's in the city? Also, while I'm talking about old posts, I went to the Cooper Hewitt yesterday with my friend Peyton and you know what? They had that cool Labbit stool on view.

A small afterthought

I almost forgot about this-

The attention to detail in this torso fragment is astounding. Stylized happy trail?

Also, I love my new camera. You'll love it too, as I will be posting lots of pictures on the blog.

G&R Reunion Tour!!

So, last night was one of the many opening receptions for the new and improved Greek and Roman wing at the Metropolitan Museum. It was a fancy gala event to start off what looks to be a season filled with over crowded museums and small children putting gum on old things, besides their grandparents.

If you get a chance to go and see the new wing, you should. It's beautiful. Who am I talking to here? Mom? Dad? Does anyone read this thing? Anyways, here are some pictures from the event.

There were all sorts of or-dervs. There was roast beef that I later found out was veal, then someone told me was lamb. There were veal meatballs that were ACTUALLY veal, shrimp, some sort of carrpachio in a martini glass, lots of cheese and then a full bar. My girlfriend was happy with that. She likes the champagne.

The wing officially opens to the public this Friday, but chances are you (or even YOU) know me and could stop by earlier this week if you wanted. Just drop me a line, come meet me for lunch. Or don't. You can always wait to see it with the rest of the masses. Chances are it will be REAL crowded in the coming months. And something about that space makes me think there's going to be more than a few people touching, bumping and possibly knocking over some herculeses.

this is hercules/herackles/me after a bath and lion slaughtering.
