The Met

On Saturday, Jon and I decided to take a trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art since I had never been. Originally, I was ecstatic to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit, but the line for that was a year long. Instead, we used our time to browse in other areas.

I was enamored by the ancient jewelry that I passed by, simply because it is so similar to what we are rocking these days. The triple finger ring, stone rings, cuffs with animal heads, it blew my mind. Personally, it hit home that history never dies. Looking at the originals was a trip!

I was uplifted when we turned into the area of the museum with paintings. Standing and looking at the intricate details of peoples work blew my mind. I value the fact that people from the past were able to put such gifts to use, making it a luxury to go and stand in front of their work hundreds of years later, analyzing and appreciating. Seeing original artwork that I had studied and remembered from elementary school nearly made me emotional.

I took many pictures, but here are a few.

Remember to appreciate history.

The Material Girl blog let's you in on the latest and greatest trends in the fashion world.
Yesterday, I was wearing my new rose-petal pink Guess vintage shorts when I was pulled over by Ericay who said that the color of my shorts was the highlight for today's post.

As you can see, I'm also rocking the pink Zara leather vest that possesses the yummiest texture.

It's Spring 2011, get your pink on.

Side story...

Last night got exciting. Jon and I have been working on a song concept. I haven't had the huevos to sing for many people, but from what I am told, I have a talent. Lately, I have been working on getting over my fears because I truly do have a special place for music in my heart. We set up the music room with a mic in preparation to record.. I took a picture of the set up and uploaded it several times, also mentioning Fashionaunta (@darimarder) on my TwitPic application, but didn't see it show up, so I let it go.

It wasn't until this morning when the social media team here at the office was in a panic, thinking that we had a hacker, that I realized the TwitPic was set up on the @bongojeans account. I tweeted to my aunt on the bongo handle... multiple times, at that. Then it all made sense as to why nothing was showing up on Fashionieceta. Yikes, whoops.

Really, not a good admin move on my part! 

Shit happens.

Proud, Inspired, Infectious

Tonight is Azad's first performance at The Key Club on Sunset Blvd tonight, but certainly not his last. I wish more than anything that I could be there. I've seen this progress in the making for a few years now and I can't express how special it has been, and how much it has taught me personally along the way.

Azad, you have shown me persistence more than ever lately. I cherish having motivated, focused, and seriously talented surroundings, and you are a prime example of that.

This month I want to write a blog post every day.

I also want to recognize my amazingly talented boyfriend for working with Azad on his accomplishments. Without Model Jon's insane musical gift, the completed projects wouldn't even be close to what they are.

Jon, you're my best friend and this (my) world shines brighter with you in it. I love you.
