Versailles



This was definately the highlight of my trip to paris, Jeff Koons at Versaille. I really like that the lobster is hung where another chandelier used to be. I like them hanging next to eachother like equals, it's just so ridiculous. Alot of people were really mad that all this ridiculous stuff was at Versailles, but I dont know if I would've gone if Jeff Koons' pieces weren't there.

Harold's Cubicle



My mom sent me this photo of one of her co-workers cubicles. Some people did this for hs birthday. I never had sudden urges to be an accountant until I saw this (I guess the office has been tempting me for awhile).

Milan


Some really awesome gaffiti in Milan. I dont really have anything else to say about it, besides that this was the highlight of my trip.

Guiness Book of Records Day


One day a year, for the full day, Austrians gather together at the Prater (The permanent carnival) and break world records. It was pretty awesome. This is photo of the Guiness Book of records representative giving a guy the plaque for most people beat boxing at one time. There was also the longest schnitzel and A guy held the line for someone bungee jumping.

interesting

So Lately I've been looking up artists that work in wax and I found this. I dont really know who it is, but they have a ton of photos of sculptures made out of the wax that covers gouda cheese. I thought it was very resourceful, this one is my favorite because you can really tell it's from the gouda wax. Though there are many other really great ones (including a dinosaur one), http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.geology.ucdavis.edu/~burkett/WaxArt_files/image002.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.geology.ucdavis.edu/~burkett/WaxArt.htm&h=323&w=431&sz=10&hl=en&start=5&um=1&usg=__bSi_QonkJxJsbERnVkPA94iTPRk=&tbnid=07NS4cWW82C2pM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwax%2Bart%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
