i brought my mom to lacma to see the in wonderland.
the exhibition is a beautiful display of women surrealist art  from the early 1930s to the late 1960s.
it is so relevant and powerful that i fell deep, deep into the many worlds they created.
it sounds corny but i cried a little when i stood inches away from frida kahlo's paintings. 
and i couldn't claw my way into remedios varo's world fast enough.
i honestly cannot tell you how charged i felt there.  
if you live in southern california, you have to go.

  3. Love the Betsey jumpsuit, and interesting camera effect. Looks like the pics were taken through rain or glass.

    Also thanks so much for your recent lovely comments on my blog. I do appreciate the feedback.

  5. I would've cried too! Frida is one of my biggest inspirations. I was so sad that the exhibit opened just a little bit after I moved from SoCal to Portland :(
