The Battle Over Murakami's Versailles Exhibit {Luxist}

Oct 28th 2010 11:00AM I just returned from Europe and Versailles was one of our stops.
We saw the Murakami exhibit,but felt it really didn't belong there,it is not about being with the "times",as I most certainly are,and my daughter is a contemporary abstract artist.
We visit Art Basel yearly and she has actually been represented by three galleries in the past.Modern abstract art is my passion and something I collect.
Murakami's anime style,is an eyesore in this beautiful place,and in my opinion NOT the place for it.
Although the proceeds from this sale at the end of the exhibit will benefit Versailles restoration and further acquisition of their lost treasures (they have only 3% of the original works) and are in the process of trying to obtain more,in a way,it ruined our visit,in spite of the good intentions.
Please note,that Jeff Koons has already been exhibited at Versailles in a similar manner,this is not the first.

Gosselin Kids Aren't Being Exploited, Labor Dept. Says {PopEater}

Jul 21st 2010 9:34PM Go and support a family of eight with a deadbeat husband.

Boycott the hallucinogenic thing! GROSS...

Man forgets ammo in carry-on bag -- turns himself in {Gadling}

Jan 13th 2010 1:24PM And idiots they are!
I just came back from Playa Del Carmen.
On my way out of Newark,the screening guy was having a nice talk with a friend who also was supposed to be checking the bags.
Upon my arrival to the Hotel I found out I had my large hair scissors in my toiletry bag! I was shocked they didn't see them...
or maybe sharp long scissors are now allowed?

Laser Labeling Coming Soon to Fruits, Vegetables {Slashfood}

Sep 11th 2009 7:26PM Even more tampered food item to deal with...
Here I come Whole Foods Market.!
I guess I'll have no other choice but to buy only organic foods,the idea of having my veggies tattooed gives me the creeps!
I wonder about autism and all these emissions we have created with cell phones,pc's and lasers,all spewing more electronic emission garbage into the air,totally unnecessary.SOMETHING is wrong with this world!

Health Care Reform and the Big Lie: Your Doctors Want to Kill You for Money {Politics Daily}

Aug 11th 2009 9:25AM These are scary times we live in.Being an independent voter I saw through Obama's socialist agenda BEFORE I voted,so that said,I didn't do it!
To all of those naive souls out there,do a little research,and you will see how Obama's policies mirror the beginning of the end for current Communist regimes,like Cuba,where I can actually confirm the similarities.
While dictatorships of ANY kind are self serving,and only benefit those in cahoots with the ruling party, I rather have the choices I make with MY life and My money to be mine and not dictated to me by anyone.
That's why we came to America,to work hard and EARN our rewards which are so gingerly being given to other non deserving people,and yes,I believe in democracy AND in capitalism,both things that make this country what is is.
Don't allow anyone to take it away.

Should Health Officials Have to Be Healthy and Trim? {Lemondrop}

Jul 20th 2009 4:10PM And obviously,she is making those poor choices,the same ones she will be telling us all not to make.
I'm a woman,what happened to teach by example?
Isn't that what we have always been told to do? And isn't that how our children learn good habits?
Maybe now,she will realize that being a genius ,is not the issue,as she is probably a very intelligent and qualified woman,one that should care what her eating habits are doing to her health in the long term,unless,of course,she has a medical reason for her obesity.

Antiques Roadshow To Feature First Million-Dollar Appraisal {Luxist}

Jul 2nd 2009 9:01PM Yes,If your if it's been in the family for years before it was legally made unlawful to transport these items,or buy them.
I own very old ivory pieces as well as "Carey" tortoise shell items from way before they were illegal,and am an antiques dealer specializing in vintage jewelry and handbags.many of my tortoise shell pieces date to the 30's and up to the 50's .
Not everything is obtained illegally,I would not but anything endangered ,stole, or illegal.therefore provenance is very important to the price of an object.
I own some very old jade pieces,they are very valuable.

President Obama Attacks FOX News {Politics Daily}

Jun 19th 2009 9:44AM Well,aren't we supposed to have both sides represented?
Every single Tv station,Radio station,and broadcast in American TV is PRO Obama,Fox is the ONLY one that shows the OTHER view.
I can't believe he expects EVERYONE to agree with what he's doing and HOW he's doing it!
Grow up cry baby! Not everyone thinks the sun sets and rises on you!

Michelle Obama, Daughters in London; Can't Keep Visit Secret {Politics Daily}

Jun 10th 2009 1:32PM The Obama's have become a FREAK show!
What is wrong with us Americans? Do we feel so guilty about our past that you must glorify someone because of their color??
These are NOT Rock Stars,these are just people.Who cares what color they are????
I only have a problem with them taking a European VACATION with our hard earned tax dollars.What a terrible example and poor public relations image they are creating for themselves.
Is this what Americans want to see? This family is taking a world vacation on the excuse of being on a peace mission.
While we go hungry in America...
Give me a break! The world is LAUGHING at us,REALLY!
SHAME ON YOU OBAMA !
