feel like a woman, wear a dress!


~ IT'S SPRING BREAK ~
Last saturday, my friends and I went to the museum, specifically to see The Journey of a Dress, but we also saw a bunch of other exhibits. 
We saw "Urban Lights" and "Metropolis II", an exhibit about football/soccer, an abstract art exhibit and an Agnès Varda exhibit.

Journey of a Dress

 

The Journey of a Dress was so colourful and well lit, you could tell they wanted you to take pictures.
 It started with a hot pink hallway that served as the wrap dress' timeline and, at the end of it, "Feel like a woman, wear a dress!" was written in pink neon lights.

 The hallway also led to another room in which art based on/inspired by the wrap dress and Diane von Furstenburg, the creator of the wrap dress. *angelic music*
We may or may not have dorkily analyzed the art to see what materials and techniques the artists used.

urban lights
Yes, these are the street lamps you always see in movies and yes they are super fun to take pictures of/next to and climb on. Being the mature young ladies we are, we did all three. 
Especially the climbing. 

metropolis II
So this was a sort of city with I'd say, a thousand hot wheels that actually whizz around every hour. There were so many little boys staring with their mouths wide open or running around trying to follow the cars. 
It was little boy paradise.

That night, my family and I went to see Alan Partridge, a hilarious british comedy that I definitely recommend. It was so quirky, full of politically incorrect jokes, comedic (and sometimes awkward) situations and so many puns. The movie is even funnier than the trailer! To quote my mom, "I haven't heard a whole theatre laugh non-stop in a long time!" 

Long story short I had a great day!

What are you doing this week? Have you been to any museums or seen any movies lately?
