It’s Friday! Also, National Chocolate Cake Day and International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Birthdays: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Lewis Carroll, Jerome Kern, Bobby Blue Bland, Narciso Rodriguez and Alan Cumming. Our community project: wear a fragrance by Narciso Rodriguez, if you have one.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I suspect I will not be the only one in Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez aka White Cube. (Also, I’m still catching up after spending most of yesterday in bed recovering from my shingles shot. I’ll read the Thursday comments by the end of the day.)
Reminder: on 2/3 we’re doing Picture Challenge, edition 8: Yayoi Kusama, detail from Women of Shangri-La, 2002. You can see the entire installation if you scroll down here (I cannot post it for copyright reasons). Extra reading: Yayoi Kusama at Wikipedia, Dot on: The rise and rise of Yayoi Kusama at Thames and Hudson, ‘Determined to have her story told’: Retrospective casts new light on Yayoi Kusama’s seven-decade career at CNN, Yayoi Kusama: the world’s favourite artist? at The Guardian.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I’ll try (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
