One of my favorite things of the day! These are little inlet statues in a much much larger statue and they depict, along the base, the story of Adam and Eve. I really enjoyed this.
My main man William Shakespeare's "alleged" original manuscripts.
All the world's a stage & I'm its biggest player!!
I also have a new found fascination with keys. . .
Giant naked statue.
German carved oak interpretation of the Crucifixion.
Giant tomb.
French Madonna Interpretations
Cool Writing Stuff. I started getting tired here and stopped remembering the actual names of these things. . . :-\
Jesus & the Disciples.
Marky Mark's infamous Calvin Kleins. Love him. Love how overstuffed they are.
Princess Diana Hong Kong Dress.
John the Baptist in the buff.
Apparently the most famous and philanthropic doctor in London history. Also described as a "quack doctor" in his inscription.
Busts. ha.
Origional pieces recovered from the Qu'ran. V&A holds 1/11 of what is considered the original artifacts of the Qu'ran.
Islamic pulpit.
Giant Glass Chandelier in the Entry Way to Victoria & Albert
Shopping!!!
Infamous Evil Pigeons
Harrods!
I don't know why these came up twice but I cannot figure out how to get rid of them.
Serious Palace Security
Statue. I really love Statues after being in this city. You get a huge appreciation for them!
Yeah no changing of the guard cause this was the only guy guarding Buckingham Palace. Big deal. Boo.
Hanging out outside of the Queen's residence.
Well today we had a minor flub in plans. Intentions were to see the Changing of the Guard yet being a bank holiday it was closed. Instead we re-routed to Harrods which was fabulous.
I felt a little like I was in the middle of the Fergie song "Labels or Love" or in an episode of Sex and the City. Jimmy Choo, Dior, Chanel, D&B, Vivienne Westwood, YSL, Cartier, Rolex, DeBeers, Prada and I could go on. . . Gorgeous.
After that fun we headed to the Victoria & Albert Museum. Not something for just a half a day but we still managed to trudge through it all. They had a lot of very interesting and wonderful collections. I really enjoyed their theater and fashion exhibits which featured some really unique things. Their world collections had some of the most beautiful religious artifacts I've ever seen. Having studied so much religious literature and history it was really overwhelming to be in the presence of some of the very things I've been studying. Their collection of Christian artifacts from Europe, Islamic artifacts and Hindu god alters was just divine. It was a really massive but unique museum that I would love to try to go back to while I'm here because I could really look at some of those things for hours on their own.
Came home to find a roommate today! Finally! Living on my own was fun but its nice to have someone to talk to at night etc. She is from NYC but goes to a small college in Tennessee and is just a doll. She works in the music field and was really excited I'm working in film so we will have a lot to chat about over the next few weeks together! Now we are just settling in to get to bed because of our big days tomorrow! I start my internship with Films of Record. I'm a little more nervous mixed in with my excited this time!!!! I've been doing the project they had me working on all week so I'm pretty ready to go but I'm just not sure what to expect. But I'm really excited to jump right in. So much so I did something I never do, I put out my perfect first day outfit out the night before! The cheesy things we do when we are excited!!!!
