Museum!!!! yyyyyeeeeee!!!!

As I said London welcomed me with open arms, with its high heeled women, beautiful men riding the tube and with intermittent weather. It almost incredible that I almost have a week here, it feels so familiar.

At the U the things are going great including that from today until the 12th everything there is closed and I cannot work, ha! Too bad, being precautious I brought work home and I am going to be busy.

The fairy godmother is with me, yesterday afternoon, we have to go to Amsterdam, hey you! Attending- exhibition- in- Amsterdam- wannabes take me with you! and guess what? I’m going, to visit museums; of course what else a poor Mexican bee can do in Amsterdam?

Today the weather is amazing so I dusted my wings and flew…flew away.

Speaking of Museums, I have been very well behaved; today I visit my first museum in London since I arrived. I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum, this is the Design Museum of London, so you can imagine in the state I left the building. First the Building is gorgeous just the building then they have the Sculpture Gallery at the very entrance. I got dizzy with the amount of gold the Norfolk Room has and of course the crown, 1756 not even close the French Revolution.



I am not doing any justice to the experience, seriously, but I cannot find the right words that is why I am going to put picture here…

I saw the fashion room, I felt like electricity going through my spine, small steps and I asked if picture were allowed, I was so affected that something like is there pictures allowed? Anyway the woman understood and said yes…

Fashion from the very early days, today I realized that from 17 hundreds or so there are a few pieces of women and men wardrobe, these pieces evolved but not to the point of becoming a complete different piece: for man there is the trousers, the shirt, the jacket and that’s all, interesting enough is that in the entire exhibition I was no one pair of jeans or anything made out of denim. Such a fault! Denim is the fabric that has changed the destiny of Humankind. Another observation is that there is no one t shirt, I feel the same about t shirts, they are part of the fashion scene since early this century, why not include them?

Anyhow, I saw La Croix's, Versace's, Channel's my life is sooo gooooooddddd!!!!!

I am back!!!

I cannot believe that I am back and guess what? London is still beautiful, rich and crazy (in the good way). I have been sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating and watching crap TV, from ugly betty (a really bad bad version of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA) to American Idol. Go Sanjaya!! you are the best.

I paid 4 pound to get into the city from my dear friend K place where I am staying. She is seven months pregnant and is a delight to there with her almost 2 year old A. We baked the other day and we have been taking it easy.



London, London I still not wearing my high heels but I will I just know it...
