WarHOL Me!
I had this pic taken during a trip to Chicago in April for a conference. I attended a reception at the Contemporary Museum of Art where an Andy Warhol collection was on display titled, "Celebrities, Deaths and Disasters." The art was amazing, especially his paintings of Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. However, I was mesmerized by his car crash works - a collection of paintings he did from pictures ithat appeared in newspapers in the 60s of car crashes; some with dead bodies still inside or lying on the ground. So very morbid and gruesome, but no one could take their eyes off of them. Wolfgang Puck catered the event and the food was just amazing. On the way out the door they gave us our "Warholized" pictures as a momento of the evening along with a cute frame. And just when I thought that the night could not get any better, while walking to our next reception, who do I see but NATE BERKUS talking to two beautiful girls while standing outside a swanky Chicago restaurant waiting to get in a cab. I was going to scream but thought the better of it at the last moment. I may have a new hate on for Oprah but Nate should not suffer for that! It was a night to remember, no doubt about it!
