The first weekend every month, the Bank of America gives all
of their customers the chance to go to their local museums for free admissions,
so of course we were keen to visit the Museum of Fine Arts (FOR FREE).((I also
should maybe mention at this point that all Huskies from Northeastern University
already get free admission to the MFA, being an NU student just gets better and
better!!!)) It’s ludicrous to think that
I walk past this marvelous collection box every day to go to work, and have yet
to even step up its stairs inside.
Molly, Safaa and myself woke up early birds and headed to the doors
opening for 10am, conveniently this weekend was also the weekend that Mario
Testinos collection of Royals and Celebrities left the exhibition. Killing two
birds with one stone, I guess. We enjoyed marveling at the massive colorful
cheaky snaps that had been put out for the public viewing. Some of the pictures
just inspired you to be a celebrity just for the sheer bragging rights of
having an amazing picture taken by the man himself, Mario Testino. Testinos pictures capture not only the scene
but character but also the personal space with the camera and the model, I really
like the in-depth view he gave from most of his work.
Afterwards, to shake of the drizzly snow that was softly
hazing over our clothes we headed to a small café called Pavement, which
ironically is what we Brits say as the sidewalk. How lovely. Over bagels and
mochas we caught up with Safaa who has just returned from a month of torturous
(more sun sea and friends) travels in Brazil. Her pictures were almost MFA
worthy of the beautiful coast lines with a dreamy sunset, the heat definitely
sounded a lot more pleasing than the -16 degrees C we have been experiencing
here.
