I rarely post anything about movies or movie stars but the ugly email correspondence that was leaked to the public from Sony Studios has been hard to miss.
RuPaul Drag Queen wannabees look closely at Jolie’s greeting of Sony Executive, Pascal, earlier this morning. It was their first meeting since the scandal broke.

James Asal Jr. has just released volume two of ADAM & ANDY, which chronicles the adventures of Adam (neurotic office worker) and Andy (cheerful slob) and their friends in the fictional New England town of Woodfield, CT. Volume two includes the digital comics that were originally published 2006 – 20014.
I bet you had no idea that I had such an extensive collection of this lady. I like to refer to this first one as “the Mona selfie”.

A South End artist and friend named Fernando DeOliveira wants to make his beautiful abstract art wearable by making limited edition silk scarves of some of his favorite creations.
He has created a kickstarter campaign to help him get the money necessary to manufacture four scarf designs. I believe in Fernando’s work and think he is an exceptionally talented artist. Sergio and I actually have one of his paintings in our home – I wrote about it back in 2010 in my post, Hanging The Painting.
Check out Fernando’s kickstarter page and help him spread the word. One of the things I most love about my neighborhood is the influence of our vibrant, local art scene so let’s support them and in this case, Fernando, if you believe in his work and like what you see.

Come down to the South End (450 Harrison Ave. to be exact) to meet local artists and view their work from 5-9PM tonight. The First Friday of each month more than 60 artists open their studios in the 450 Harrison building making it easy to walk around, socialize and see artists in their studios no matter what the weather is like outside.
Local galleries in the South End also support First Fridays by remaining open like, Boston Sculptor’s Gallery at 486 Harrison Avenue. After chatting with local artists and viewing some of their work head over to one of your favorite South End restaurants to grab a cocktail and dinner. If you need any suggestions, give me a shout and I’m happy to play the role of concierge.
You can get more information about this monthly event by visiting the SoWa First Fridays Facebook Page.

Six years and $350 million dollars later, the Harvard art museums – the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler – have now been combined under one roof. The Harvard Art Museums as they are being called open to the public later this month, starting Sunday, November 16th.
The expansion gives the combined museums 40% more gallery space to house their 250,000-piece art collection. Not surprising, Harvard spared no expense with this thoughtful redesign, hiring Pritzker Prize winning architect, Renzo Piano, to create an impressive new home for Harvard’s most prized artwork. The new Calderwood Courtyard is a great example of Piano’s work, which brings plenty of natural light through the glass-and-steel roofing and upper-level glass walls. I’m looking forward to seeing this space open to the public and encourage you to check out the Harvard Art Museums.
Last week I wrote about today’s Boston Athenaeum open house which is today from Noon to 4PM. With the weekend weather in Boston a bust, finding cool things to do indoors is a must so check out the open house.
Did you know the Boston Athenaeum is one of the oldest independent libraries in the US? It is also one of only sixteen extant membership libraries; meaning that patrons pay a yearly subscription fee to use the Athenæum’s service.
Boston Athenaeum Open House Noon – 4pm at 10 1/2 Beacon Street

Goya Portrait: Antonia Zarate y Aguirre
The Goya exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston is a large and impressive collection that includes: portraiture, sport and allegory themed paintings, sketchings, print and tapestries. The exhibit starts very light and almost joyful showcasing some of Goya’s most prominent portraits of Spanish nobility. The portrait above of Antonia Zarate y Aguirre dates back to approximately 1805 and was one of my favorites in the exhibit.
However, as you walk through the eight room exhibit the family portraits give way to some darker subject matter. I’ve highlighted some of my favorites; the violence of sport (Bulls of Bordeaux), madness (Yard with Madmen), war (Attack on a Military Camp) and finally death (Garroted Man). The exhibit officially concludes with The Giant (also known as The Colossus) a smaller piece depicting a pensive giant looking over his shoulder.
Never too heavy handed, the exhibit really drew me in and gave me a greater
appreciation for Goya’s talent, the mediums he used and the external
influences that inevitably shaped his subject matter.
With colder weather on its way, this exhibit provides you with the perfect excuse to head to the MFA and check out this 170 piece collection.
IlluminusBoston Festival tonight in the South End is a free and really cool. Filled with interactive and eye-catching displays that are really pretty awesome.
Food trucks are on hand for you to grab a bite or drink if you like so come down to 540 Harrison Avenue in SoWa and check out this one night only festival.
