kimonos as art

went to culture and cocktails last night at the art museum in balboa park. kinda the same concept as TNT, but this one you have to pay... boo! j/k i have no prob supporting the arts.

so the crowd was a bit older, a bit more done up, and i think a bit more there to be seen instead of see. at one point i couldnt help but say: so where is the art in this art museum?

well once we found it it was incredible! the exhibit is called kimonos as art by Itchiku Kubota.


the kimonos are simply gorgeous. extremely detailed and def something to be admired.

on display are also traditional kimono making tools and a video and display on the process.

each one can take about a year to complete.

which just makes the second room you come into even more spectacular.

this is about 1/3 of the symphony of light collection (i didnt get a chance to photo the other parts cause apparently photography is not allowed and a little old lady wagged her finger at me :)

quite breathtaking.

so enough with the art loving. lets do some people watching!

the upstairs section of the museum overlooks a lounge area packed with people drinking, mingeling, and getting pointed at by me and christina. i was dying for someone to catch me but didnt make it happen!

we played a little "yes, no, or for my country"

and then found the best thing of the night: CRAFTS

the teacher was hilarious... i dont think she knew we kick butt at all things crafty cause she kept saying 'ok watch me now, this step is very complicated' and then we would just bust it out!

so those are cranes in our hair.

and we made foxs for our foxs!

so overall another amazing night in san diego.

whats that you ask? who would win in a brawl between c&c vs TNT?

i think i'd call it a tie
