Another weekend of culture

Hey, all.

After working yet another Saturday night (I can't wait until Pedro's ready to fly solo on Saturday nights), I was ready for a nice Sunday of rest and relaxation. Instead, Brandy and I went to see the Vivienne Westwood exhibition at the de Young Museum on Sunday.

Yes, we went to a museum. Yes, she's a fashion designer. Yes, I'm straight.

For those of you unfamiliar with her body of work, Westwood was essentially the costumer of the punk revolution. Together with her then-boyfriend, Malcolm McLaren (who managed the Sex Pistols), she dressed an entire generation of groundbreakers, establishment-shakers, and malcontents.

The audio tour was nice, but probably unnecessary. I did enjoy hearing some of the interview clips, however.

The exhibition ends on June 10, so if you want to go, go soon.

After our trip through the punk looking glass, we had lunch at the museum cafe, which was surprisingly good, then we walked through the Deborah Oropallo exhibition as well. Trippy.

But Brandy and I have this fascination with glass and glass sculpture, and some of the pieces at the de Young are very cool.

The Chihuly stuff, of course, but there were some cast glass pieces that utterly entranced us. I'm not sure how cast glass sculptures are created, but I'm sure I'll be even more impressed when I find out.
