Art, design and architecture are a fascinating visual for me. An unforgettable faire of hors d'oeuvres and savory entrees. The beauty and sensuality of the female body, luring the eye of all to gaze in fantasy. Her taste in wear is something to ponder, and all she accentuates with trinkets, baubles, the scent of perfume. Who is she. What is the everchanging world of the well-dressed man or the laid-back casually dressed guy[hey dude]. There is the world of politics and everychanging status of power throughout the world. I seek the truth, and I know there are many. Questionable character masters of thought...icons of an era, now and then. And not to be over heard the music of all variables, classic composition of Bach, Mozart, Handel, Bernstein, Beethoven, to name a few masters, to rock/indie/electronic/eccentric/experimental alternatives.
Who would I like to meet? I'm not really sure how to answer this. The interest would be mutual. Who I've met through my life experiences would be part of the answer. Art, music, architecture, movie and television beings, political and radical habitats, fit the profile. Names? There are people I admire, not merely as popular or political figures, and not 100%. Individuals can be recognized for one particular accomplishment, a time in their life, despite an awkward being, as human. It is a reflection of how you see, and what you want to see. Is this what the "15 minutes" is all about?...Yes? No? Maybe?
