well having an art opening in the lower east side of manhattan
is certainly a way to show the best and worst of humanity
the best
well the fabulous, eclectic, spicey, sexy, arty crowd that viewed the art, sipped wine
and made intelligent comments or better yet, wrote about the show
worst
thats easy
the fat drunken Russian woman with the bad bleach job who claimed to write some obscure newsletter and propped herself against a wall then hit anyone who bumped into her and yelled "watch it"
later on after we finally got her to leave i discovered she'd taken my gorgeous hand carved wooden bowls that id put out filled with roasted, salted peas...theyd somehow been devoured by her large bag much as she had devoured half the hors d'oeuvres
then there was the drunken loser who
took out a crayon and graffitied (i kid you not) the inside of my window
during the opening
how can anyone go to a high end champagne art opening
and then steal things or draw on the window?!
sigh
well the moral is
next time i not only have a bouncer at the door but i have one inside too
who knew art openings could bring in such creatures
i thought these kind of people stayed away from class
but i shall dwell on the good
the huge crowd
the great compliments
and the interested in buying paintings folks...
im just an arty ass little mama
what can i say
