The Geffen Contemporary at Moca for the Art in the Streets Graffiti exhibit!

I have to say, I wasn't all that excited to take my latest week long work trip to LA... mainly, because as I've stated... it was a work trip. Not that I mind working at all, in fact Im one of the rare folks that actually do like it, yet being in such a beautiful state...palm trees everywhere... I wanted to bust out of each meeting with urgency! Not even continual bottles of water, coffee, and batches of baked oatmeal cookies could make me disinterested in the wonderful world of LA!  The Hollywood hills were calling me!

... But such changed when I and my team were given the opportunity to take a planned tour of one of the Geffen museum sites.  In a rugged almost dirty location sat a raw yet peaceful building, housing works from some of THEE most talented and amazing artists of our time. ...and huddled into a sweet little corner were the works of the great Lady Pink.  Now, if you were a former viewer of my personal blog (back in the day), "thatskinnybrowngirl2.blogspot.com" You'll remember when I was in my grafitti days.  I discovered Lady Pink and 5 minutes later I purchased my first pack of markers and simultaneously drove home while attempting to quickly develop a TAG.  Needless to say, Although I pride myself in being a pretty nifty graphic designer, I lack pretty much all skills in the art of grafitti.  That however doesn't stop me from indulging in the crazy pen strokes of others, and sokeing up each feeling and thought from marker to paper.  This exhibit was WILD.  Check out my photos below, and if you ever get a chance, check it out. xo-SBG

 
 

 

Funky Head Scarf Wrap

For the spring and summer, I'd love to have a few funky head wraps or scarves just like the one below.  I love how this little Tokyo sweetheart has hers tied in a Mini Mouse-like bow, just like the one Rosemary Ponzo wore to Charlotte Ronson's show last fall fashion week...funky and trendy....head scarfs for the season just make sense!

Today was an interesting one to say the least.  Clouds poured trickles (oxy-moron?) of rain onto my little South Philly street, followed by gushes of rain,mist, and back to trickles, which I am now listening to fall through a crack in the wall of my spareroom..sigh, gotta get thatfixed so I can get a roomate!  (I guess I'm trying to prolong this amazing experience called, "living alone") (cont. below)

My bright mac and cheese living room walls create a faux sun...  

Either way, with all this rain, I'd usually be in a not-so-good mood, but for some reason, today was a great day.  I sit here in my little old house and wonder....what makes people automatically consider bad weather to be thunderstorms and rain? Sure you may get a tad wet, but you'll eventually dry off...some even like to splash through puddles for fun.  Some folks love the rain...and for the first time, I, interestingly enough am one of those folks.  :)   -SBG 

Amani loves any weather, as long as she has enough peace to nap.
