Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume

Published by

I love the ROM and I’m so lucky to be on the receiving end of their hospitality. The Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume presents highlights from the ROM’s renowned collection of over 50,000 textile and costume artifacts, in a display of approximately 200 pieces dating from the 1st millennium BC to the 21st century AD. Outstanding examples include Chinese imperial costume, late Antique and early Islamic textiles from Egypt, western fashion from the Baroque period to the present day and early Canadian coverlets. These illustrate the extensive transformations in the design and technology of textiles and clothing throughout the past three millennia. Due to conservation considerations, the artifacts are to be changed on a regular basis. The Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume is located on the 4th floor of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal and it is the final gallery to be added to the space. The gallery will feature highlights from their massive collection of over 50,000 artifacts. The current exhibit features 200 artifacts dating from 200 BC. Patricia was a …

Las Vegas 2008 – Friday! I should be rocking it. I should be rolling it. I should be taking it, taking it to you!

The best day in Vegas was Friday by far. The weather was to die for and we walked to the strip so I could see what this whole Vegas thing is about. Outside of the strip, Vegas is like a giant strip mall with cacti and palm trees. All the roads are 6 or 8 lanes across. The people drive like maniacs. Men in cars honk at you constantly when you walk down the street, it was very strange. Not if you are with a guy though. I had 5 people actually whistle at me out of their cars and on the street. The ridiculous size of Las Vegas struck me as we walked past the Convention Centre. It’s was massive. We then took the monorail to the Mandalay Bay/Luxor side of the strip. I kept on singing the Monorail song from The Simpsons. We decided to hit up Luxor for some free drinks. The drinks were cheap and not really free. You had to be gambling, so Marija and I sat ourselves down at …

Stella McCartney Beaded strappy sandals Perfect for summer and much more manageable than these ones. I’ve seen them in person at Holt’s in a different colour combo. I don’t know how you are suppose to deal with the heel, they are built like fetish shoes. I tried them on, way to damn high.

Las Vegas 2008 – Hoover Dam

Published by

Sunday was an interesting day trip to Hoover Dam. We found a new friend along the way and we made the ill fated mistake of trying to walk to the dam from Boulder City. Some great people picked us up though and it made the trip a success. I loved the dam it’s so Art Deco. In some of the pictures you can see the results of Lack Mead receding rapidly. At some point the damn won’t be able to function. Click to see larger images.
