The American Folk Art Museum is maybe my favorite museum. I used to spend hours and hours there.

Charles Ray! One of my favorites!

He scaled this sculpture by averaging the subjects' heights. The really fantastic thing about scale is how strange things look when their proportions do not meet our expectations. A sculptor once made a human sized Barbie doll dress. He scaled it proportionately so that it would fit a real woman, and everything on the garment remained as it would be if it were designed for the doll. So, the waist was ridiculously tiny, the bust ridiculously huge and the snaps were ENORMOUS.

Charles Ray also sculpted a couple (maybe more) of tall business women. They were giantesses. It was so much fun watching people stand in front of it. Some men would get visibly uncomfortable. It was neat.

I love this one, too.

Hehe. I still need to visit Magnolia Bakery. I also read about Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven that's down in the Village as well. Got to get there sometime.

I finally made to Serendipity 3, and after an hour+ wait, we enjoyed the magnificent Frozen Hot Chocolate. mmmm :coffee:

If we can find a decent hotel, I'm pushing for a trip.

The impitus for the trip is a major Pixar Exhibition at MOMA. We always seem to travel for the silliest reasons then end up doing a bunch of other stuff.

Hey, we saw the comet
