The AGO opens tonight...I will definitely be in attendance tomorrow night because everyone clearly knows that tonight I'm seeing James Bond, him and I have a date actually, its very hush hush. LOL Im SUCH a nerd. The AGO is opening to midnight every night this weekend AND its free admission. SO PLEASE everyone should go and appreciate art!!!! They just brought in an unreal 17th century dutch and flemish group of paintings, which showcase Boroque, also there will be a lot of French impressionist and 20th century surealist works that have been super popularized in our modern culture. I dont know anyone who cannot say that they havent heard of any one of the main french impressionist painters or someone like Goya. Rubens "Massacre of the Innocents" will also be on display which has literally been in storage for years up until now, a travesty. Also Frank Gehry's design is super inspiring and will be a pretty monumental exterior in terms of architecture in the modern world SO GO GO GO! I should be on their PR board. I just love art so much.
In other news, here's a tip for you kiddies, do NOT go mtn biking in the rain. Thats all im going to say about THAT. So tomorrow is shaping up to be fantastique...Blowfish and the AGO and perhaps a cocktail in a nice jazz bar. anyways, My broja and his troublemaking compatriote already ransacked the AGO's new restaurant Frank, before it even opened! Regardless I'm excited to see the real thing in full swing. Things are definitly looking up today, just have to remember to smile smile smile and think positive thoughts! Today I'm going to have my first eggnog latte of the season, hopefully I wont get violently ill. lol jks jks. But really its great to see that Christmas has come so quickly, its a nice time of the year when I get to see my family, who I rarely see as we are all such busy bees! Also, who doesnt like wandering the city with all the lights and decor, its very commercial but at night time can be beautiful. The MOST beautiful place in the world at Christmas, however, is Budapest, well Budapest and Vienna. Walking along the streets (vaci utca in particular) with some hot glu wine and seeing real Christmas decor that has not been manufactured in a plastics plant is so nice. They really make everything so beautiful and quaint, I hope I get to see it this year but we'll see where the holidays take me. I am dying for some Sacher Torte in Vienna, if you havent had it, please go have some the next time you are in Vienna, you will thank me! Well I am off to sweat it out at the gym and the steam room, I hope to see everyone at the AGO saturday night, the new collections are going to be fabulous and in a few years maybe I will be curating there! ohhhh lets cross our fingers, cheers to the future and all the good things its going to bring ;)
