The Brooklyn Art Museum was holding a really cool Frida Kahlo exhibit back in February and I decided to get my arty friends Nikki and Ariane from college together to go check it out. We rented a cool Brooklyn AirB&B and spent two days exploring the city and eating cheap delicious food. Unfortunately there was no photography allowed at the Frida exhibit, but I was able to sketch some things from memory like some items from her paint-stained elaborate wardrobe. I bought a delicate piece of papel picado (cut paper art) from the gift shop with an embroidered bird on it. After staying up way too late in the living room of our rented apartment with pizza and wine, reminiscing about our college shenanigans, we finally went to bed and woke up feeling slightly groggy. We drove to a different side of town where we checked out an indoor flea market and some cool street art. We even participated in a quirky scavenger hunt at the City Reliquary. My favorite part of this trip was just getting together with my long lost friends again, which can be so difficult now that we all have to do this "adult" thing.
