Truth be told, the decisive factor in deciding on the North Carolina Museum of Art was learning that they had one of the largest collections of Rodin in the country. They did indeed, arrayed in a well-lighted central gallery. Perhaps its greatest feature is that is gathers numerous of the tiny studies that Rodin created for his colossal Gates of Hell sculpture intended to illustrate the Inferno of Dante. The Thinker was always intended to represent Dante himself, crouched over the gates of hell in deep contemplation of the horrors within. Others reflected the torture of the souls within: a study of Count Ugolino and his sons, starving to death after being imprisoned for his treachery to the state; the Three Shades was meant to crown the gates warning of the wraked souls within; and the Falling Man writhes in torment. After the Thinker and perhaps the Burghers of Calais (of which they also had a maquette), Rodin's The Kiss is perhaps is most famous work. It, like the Thinker, was intended for the Gates of Hell, as it depicted the passionate embrace of Francesca de Rimini and her brother-in-law Paolo Malatesta, soon to be discovered by her husband and his brother Giovanni in flagrante delicto and murdered.
NCMA was, overall, a thoroughly eclectic collection. Medieval and Renaissance European Art had as large a gallery as Judaica, and the entire north wing of the museum was given over to American and African art. They had some exquisite pieces from Jan Steen, Hans Bruegel, Tintoretto, and the usual wall of Monets, but this was not a museum whose eye was focused on the Continent. In like form, their modern and contemporary collections were global: they had an Anselm Kiefer, true, but far more from further-flung regions of the globe.
I didn't think I could fall in love with her even more but.. she's so cute xD!
I know I was thinking of it for my other Rheia but I really like Airy as her name. Hmmm, will have to think about it ~
I seriously need to restring her :(

What is it that you THINK of?
I had a bit of a different idea, but I like this better than my original plan. I don't know what it is I THINK about, I always have like five things on my mind at once.
I had the word THINK written in a different place on my hand, and you can still kind of see it :P
You can also see the lovely red dots on my hand, three have been there forever, and the other is from falling into a fence.
Think this was Kilverstone Zoo , i owned the blue 280ZX at the time. The 300ZX would only been a year or so old at the time
At Willow Grove Day Camp in Willow Grove PA we think it is important to allow children to express themselves in every way possible. By interacting with each other the children strengthen relationships and build self-confidence. Through out the summer our campers host several Theater shows. The children put on plays and talent shows that include singing, dancing, and a whole lot of fun. Our campers have the opportunity to dress up in costumes and show off their talents. Our most popular show of the summer is "So you think you can dance"
Willow Grove Day Camp is located at 3400 Davisville Road in Willow Grove, PA. Our camp has been serving the Willow Grove, Lower Bucks County, and Philadelphia areas for over 50 years. Our long standing relationship with the community and our reputation speaks for itself!

I spend some hours together with the two Berlin-based street artists Think and Prost while setting up our walls for the Bright Trad Show 2011...
Recently acquired these lovely new clones...but alas, I think they are not of right mind/body...
Doll number one is a Uneeda head (with a very serious forehead! Yikes, is that like 10 fingers?) but she's been crammed onto a very beat up vintage Barbie Body.
Doll number two may be all correct...her back reads " made in hong kong". Head firmly attached, body-to-head color still close. She looks like an American Girl clone. OOPS ALSO HAS "CAMAY" IN A DIAMOND ON HER BACK.
Doll #3 has absolutely no markings, but that has got to be a bild lilly clone--has the big hole like a Uneeda in the back of her head. I don't think this is her original body...Her head doesn't quite fit (the neck knob is too small) and the skin tones are off.
Think you can manage to scoop a goldfish on a piece of paper? Summer in Japan wouldn't be complete without the traditional game of Kingyosukui 金魚すくい.

The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, usually placed on a stone pedestal. The work shows a nude male figure of over life-size sitting on a rock with his chin resting on one hand as though deep in thought, and is often used as an image to represent philosophy. There are about 28 full size castings, in which the figure is about 186 centimetres (73 in) high, though not all were made during Rodin's lifetime and under his supervision, as well as various other versions, several in plaster, studies, and posthumous castings, in a range of sizes. Rodin first conceived the figure as part of another work in 1880, but the first of the familiar monumental bronze castings did not appear until 1904.

I think this is a Leyland Hippo but no doubt someone will put me right. Seemed to have been ear marked for spares.

When the Butterflies are made we will be auctioning on EBAY to raise money for Breast Awareness.
I will be doing an official 'Ta - Dah!'
There are things to learn in every activity if you do the activity in a way that you wouldn't normally do it. For instance, writing with your right hand wouldn't normally teach you very much but writing with your left hand, after a bit of practice, would yield ambidexterity!
In much the same way, I want this picture of me cooking naked to be about learning and thinking differently. At first I was very uncomfortable with the idea. I did not want to be seen naked in a more public area of the house. Compromise: wear an apron. Good. But what if somebody sees me?! Concentrate on cooking! In the end, this activity was more enjoyable for me because there was an added twist. Like dying your hair blond or like trying a new type of drink. But there is also something to be gained when pushing your limits beyond your comfort zone. Like skydiving, like going to school in a different country, or like taking an art course with sexually explicit material...or just by cooking naked. This is my idea of pushing my limits, and learning from it.
