New Yorker Festival 2017
What could possibly ever top a talk with the rather marvelous and surprisingly funny Mr. Jon Hamm aka the Dapper Mr. Draper? Only another talk with the rather brilliant designer and accomplished gardener, the quietly elegant Mr. Dries Van Noten himself.
Stimulating as always, The New Yorker Festival, 2017 series.

But I will generously spare you of yet another Valentine’s post and heart-shaped pink boxes and roses and such. Here is, instead, a message from a random guy, on a random wall, somewhere in Lower Manhattan, back in 2017.
I hope it helped him find joy – notice a piece missing?
Peace x Love,
Lia 💙

Crazy electric hair
Of all the glass sculptures in this exhibition, Neon 206 stands out as the craziest. Installed specifically to reflect on the Conservatory windows and the pool outside, it must be seen in the dark or else it would look just like a bundle of bent tubes (which is what it is). But at night it transforms into an explosion of light, the perfect backdrop for those playful shadowy portraits; snapshots of electric dreams.
With this neon light craziness, we bid farewell to the Botanical Garden and the magical world of Dale Chihuly. Next stop, Philadelphia…

A walk down memory lane
When lemonade was served in lace crystal glasses and sipped through grandma’s drinking glass straws. Those lean, sleek pastel coloured things of beauty that were kept locked only to come out when there were visitors – on Sundays mostly. Despite handling with care, they succumbed to their fragile nature, one by one, drink after drink. They were never replaced. It was the dawn of the 1970s and Tupperware had already taken Europe by storm since the 1960s. The plastic age had arrived.
