yamamanamaThe woman in the patterned shirt said she’s not an artist, just observant. The woman with two tattoos: 143 on one arm and infinity cubed on the other said she’s not an artist but she’d like to be. A woman had a camera and it wasn’t for class and she wasn’t a tourist, she just likes taking photographs.
A kid said the MFA looks like the white house, only gray.
If you can't read the circle just right of the center one, and you probably can't, it says "Avocado Man saves potatoes." Get equipped with guacamole blast. Another one says Exit Bad Thoughts. I found a picture and even saved the link but I can't remember what I did with it.
These mindful mandalas were made by kids named Relande, Sabianca, Taraji, Thalia, Lisandra, Bintou, Amaris, Sedelia, Jalexsa, Naraya, Riomilsa, Kyrah, Jeruska, Mahn, Ananmaya, Aiofe, Kalmen, Reezahnny, Nashia, Hicelia, Dairis, and Ahnaya, among others.
Hironari was the last Emperor of Japan to not have a name ending in -hito and he died in 1392.
There were two Empresses (So, I think they picked the word Emperor as the English word for Tennō because it sounds more powerful than King. In truth, I think they’re closer to a Pharaoh) in between (out of eight total). I looked this up and someone on Wikipedia asked about it and someone else was like “nah, 仁 is just a really common character in Japanese names.” Also, I thought Meiji was the guy's actual name, but no, it's Mutsuhito. Meiji is his posthumous regnal name.
One of the prints depicted Crown Prince Nikolai II meeting Emperor Meiji, which never happened because he met with an assassination attempt in Kyoto. I can't find out why it happened. Later on, they replaced him with Ferdinand of Spain.
Yayoi Kusama says that our Earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos.
There are iceberg photographs and mobiles of icebergs broken off from Antarctica.
Zaira Meneses, a classical guitarist, played with a band Son Jarocho. Is that the band name? I looked it up and it says it's a style of music played in Veracruz. I'm pretty sure she was dressed as Frida Kahlo.
For her first song, I could really hear the Sephardic melodies. I think I mentioned this before: Voice of the Turtle has a really nice collection of Sephardic music from across the Ottoman Empire and its vassal Morocco.
The second half was meant for dancing. It's hard to dance on stairs, I'll say.
They finished with their take on La Bamba, which was only made famous by Richie Valens. it’s a Veracruz folk song. Zaira is from Xalapa, which is the capital of Veracruz State, which makes Veracruz the New York of Latin America in the way that Ecuador isn't.
Henri de Tolouse-Lautrec liked painting and drawing horses and prostitutes and actors. He was somewhere between 4’8” and 4’11” due to an accident in his youth and a genetic disorder that kept his bones from healing properly, and died at the age of 36 from alcohol and syphilis.
Most of these were either from the MFA’s collection or borrowed from the Boston Public Library.
Paris in 1900
I thought and still think the sounds were added later but apparently sound films existed in 1900, they just weren’t at all practical or easy or cheap to create. Hell, I even assumed that one could simply play a recording as the film plays, in fact, Wikipedia tells me that is exactly what they did. They also had to stand really really close to the recording equipment, so maybe the sounds of Paris is something they'd have to add later.
Elsewhere in the gallery played the galop infernal from Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers, the sixth movement from Chabrier's Dix pieces pittoresques, and Satie's La diva de l'empire.
They just got this.
Hey, so, you know what would be nice? If there was a way to go directly to an image via Google Image Search.
There's a seven-pointed star.
It must be intentional because six-pointed stars are easy as piss to draw. Just draw an equilateral triangle. Then an inverted equilateral triangle on top of it. Then color it in with silver to hide the inside lines.
The play influenced Verdi's La traviata.
there’s a wheel behind them that you turn and it gives the illusion of swishing fabric.
We couldn’t see them in action or play with them but you can probably make your own.
I like how the clown is wearing the Union Jack because that’s pretty much the UK at this point. It's not so much about Pērkonkrusty as I have dubbed the clown frog as it is about the fiasco that is Brexit.
They showed photographs of the Japanese woodblock prints that inspired him.
There was a sticker with Abolish ICE on it.
Someone on Pajiba says: Meghan McCain is a golem someone animated with an HOA instead of scripture.
Someone I ran into at the MFA and then at Amelia’s said that she thinks she knows me from somewhere but not typewriting one of Frederick Douglass' speeches.
I thought to ask her what school she went to but it was too late. I don't know how good at missed connections Livejournal is but she was wearing a shirt with an eyeball on it.
I wanted a roti but Ali’s is closed Mondays apparently so I just got a fajita.
A woman had a tattoo of a fox staring at a bumblebee along with some writing that looked like 𝒩მელა because I couldn’t make it out. I would have showed her the fox pictures but the glare from the sun made that kind of hard and the train car was packt like sardines because we were waiting for some time, and she had the thought to try the other train car because maybe it would be less packt. I had that same thought but I already paid to get on. Whatever, I’m sure it was just as packt. The red line was the opposite.
burning question: do you think Nina Gordon and Louise Post need to do a cover of I Want It Now?
