Night At The Museum

On Saturday night Marc and I got to go to black tie event at the Dallas Museum of Art, Affair of the Art 2009. A friend of ours invited us and it was a blast. The purpose of the night was to vote on one of two pieces of art the museum was trying to acquire.One was a banquet chair made out of stuffed pandas and the other was a pair of 18TH century Jali Screens. The Jali Screens won and in my opinion, thank goodness. I am not into modern art and as describe the chair was suppose to give you the feel of a pile of stuffed animals on a kid's bed. I can see that type of art every time I walk in to Andrew's room. One of the perks of the evening was a private viewing of the King Tut exhibit. It was pretty cool. I was surprised that a lot of the items were of his family members and not his. It was still neat none the less. Most of the pictures below are really for my out of town family to see what everything I wore looked like, so if it seems repetitive sorry. I will mention one thing with my hair. I had initially wanted to wear more of it down, but the stylist said with all the wind that day that it would be better to put more of it up. We stayed in downtown that night at the historic Adolphus Hotel. We didn't want to drive all the way home so late or have to worry about a dd.

Here is my dress. It wasn't easy to find non black dress in my size.

I was happy with the color and several strangers complimented me on the blue.

Here I am showing off my shoes.

I will do a post on Wednesday showing them better.


This is right outside of the Tut exhibit.

Here we are at dinner and the dance.

There was an after party at the museums restaurant Seventeen Seventeen.

They had a camera set up and you could take pictures wearing Egyptian headdresses.



Another silly picture.

I guess they were trying to be the new "Rat Pack".
