We went to a flower show at an art museum this morning, and it was amazing and delightful, despite the crowds. Some floral arrangements were echoing the color of the art work, some the composition, some the figures, some all aspects, and others were a response to the artwork, without specific connections. The creativity of the florists was extraordinary. And fun. Really fun. We were forced to look at the artwork differently, and closely examine the floral arrangement and bounce our eyes back and forth to compare.
Not only were the arrangements dazzling, but the volunteers for the museum had fascinator hats on the identify them, as they were selling raffle tickets to benefit the museum. And then there were the ladies, ladies who lunch, with their big diamonds, their six thousand dollar purses, their fabulous sheath dresses and amazingly coifed hair. I don't go places like Rodeo Drive to see this segment of the public, so it was a bit of a kick. Some had children, usually girls, dressed in sister organdy dresses and shoes, who posed against the backdrop of the bouquets.
It was all a little bit crazy, but like entering through the looking glass, to a world of artifice and glamour. Fun!
