Night at the Museum!

In between nights of debauchery we decided we needed to do some more-wholesome, enriching activities.

Like visiting museums.

And eating.

...................eating first.



(The french toast at Le French Diner across the street from me is HEAVENLY.)



As is everything else on the menu.



On our way up to the MoMa, we passed by Radio City Music Hall where Lady Gaga was performing.

Originally the impetus for Smileyjohn and Jesse's trip out, our hopes of attending Gaga's New York concerts were quickly dashed when we saw that the tickets for her concert (for 3 seats all-together) were going to be more than $500 each. (On the day of the show they rose to about $800.)

Supersad poorpersonface.



We saw her tour bus though! Woohoo!



The MoMa is currently featuring a Tim Burton exhibit. (Also sold out, though we did manage to sneak in. No photos allowed. Really cool exhibit.)



Lots of interesting arts were seen.





And of course there were the classics...

Like Monet...



And Rothko...



And Warhol...




And Picasso...



And then....there was random suit-on-a-wall and stuffed-donkey-with-a-javelin-through-its-head.



And "chair"...




And Jesse's doppelganger statue.



We loves the MoMa!



Oh!!! And THEN we saw this DUMBASS ASIAN literally lean AGAINST "A Starry Night" to have her picture taken.

Her back was PRESSED against the canvas!

Girl got YELLLLLLED at, but still had the nerve to try to take a picture with it. So I took one of her stupid asian face.



(This all happened the day before some bitch who tripped and ripped a hole in a $100 million Picasso at the Met. Methinks I know who did it!)

WE LOOOOVES THE MOMA.

MoMa Day

Went to the Moma this weekend. Probably one of my favorite places in the city.

Things we saw:

Picasso Sculptures




Jackson Pollocks.



More Picassos.



Warhols.



A lint masterpiece...



Weird awesome fun pop art made of stick figures.






And the Dali exhibition which was sick.





Did you know Dali did a collaboration with Walt Disney where he made an 8-minute short film that was Fantasia-esque? It was a project that kind of fell apart, but in recent years it's been finalized and fully-animated and it was pretty freakin' awesome.

Imagine a moving Dali painting with a hot hottie supermodel princess...that turns into a dandelion. Worth the trip if the only thing you see is the film.

Mo' MA

I love the MoMA.

They always have the most interesting exhibits.

I also think it's neat how everyone and their mom has jobs that get them into the MoMA for free. It is nice that corporations support stuff like culture and art and shit.




There was a Richard Serra exhibition of these giant metal sculptures that you could walk through.





And then there's your standard Jackson Pollocky, quirky, cool stuff.





MoMA!!!!!

If peeing on other people's clothes is cool...

consider me Miles Davis.

Yeah.

I peed on Felix's clothes.

Again.

Last time it was Eugene's in South Beach. Last night, Felix. Apparently.

I hope he wasn't just trying to trick me into doing his laundry before I leave.

So the day was fun. Went to the MoMa with Anne, who by the way is quite possibly the most beautiful person I have ever met. Inside AND out!



The MoMa, is awesome. Didn't have to pay admission since Vanity Fair rulessss.

Saw some really interesting exhibits, this one that really blew my mind was this series of portraits of four sisters. They were annual photographs, one for each year, for a period of like forty years from when they were in their twenties to their sixties. It was so cool to just look and observe how they aged and changed and it makes you wonder what went on in their lives. One sister looked like she might have had an eating disorder. And another looked like she had had chemo or something and her hairstyle kept changing. Anyway. Really mesmerizing.

The naked parents/babies thing was cool too.



Bumped into Meachin just walking on the street on 6th Ave. The cool thing about a walking city.

Ate the best meal ever at a little french restaurant. I had the Coq Au Vin. We had a psychotic waitress.

And then came the shitshow. The total and complete shitshow.

Splash Bar. Beer Bash. $6 for 10 beers.

Oh. My. God.

I went out with Christopher. We spent $12. I drank about 15 beers.

There was dancing. There was flirting. There was tag-team flirting. Probably one of the most fun gay-themed night of my life. ChrisYee, best wingman ever. AND he didn't vomit last night (see NYC night one).

And then I peed on Felix's clothes.
