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!!!!!
