Wednesday afternoon at the Met!

Had a nice day with my friends yesterday visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art where we took in two shows: the Rei Kawakubo exhibit which showcased designs from Comme De Garcon and the Irving Penn retrospective, which--among other gems featured his original Rolleiflex camera!

Both shows were inspiring. After our art fix, we headed to the roof where we had a lovely cocktail with sweeping views of the city all around us. I love these girls! Never a dull moment and always lots of laughter! Who doesn't need laughter!?!

YAKA our lovely group of writers and illustrators!!!!!

We finished off the night with a dinner at Caneletto-a small but cozy Italian restaurant that we started to frequent back in the days of PS 182, where our CBIG meetings were once held. Always delicious, albeit a tad pricy at times (at least for an artist) but the staff is lovely!!! A nod to Vito, our patient waiter last night. Right out of Italy!!!
