Bryan, buried in his bunker beneath a mountain of work, is deaf to all but the most urgent of interruptions. The long-anticipated new missive from Gwyneth is of course top of the list, and he has urged me in no uncertain terms to pass it on to you.
Here are some suggestions for several interesting exhibitions to go see, possibly in a city near you. Some of them I have been to and loved. And some of them came from friends who I trust in all matters of culture.
I've also included some of my favorite websites that everyone can take a look at no matter where they live. The only one that is not free is Zagat, which I have an obsession with. I literally do not go out to eat until I reference it (it’s a thing I may need to get over). I love Epicurious andChow for other foodie-related things. For off-the-beaten-track home and kitchen things, I like the Handpicked Collection and CB2, as well asWilliams-Sonoma and Divertimenti. Sometimes I window shop on Net-a-Porter or Matches when my kids are asleep.
I am also loving Jamie Oliver’s new show on Channel 4 in the U.K.,Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food. You can watch the full episodes on the website.
The absolute best thing to see at the moment is the changing leaves. I’ve just come back from a week in New York where the trees looked ablaze. If you live in a place where the seasons change, enjoy this time of year!
If I were to make one criticism, it would be that perhaps Gwyneth struggles to bridge the gap between the personal nature of recommendations ("Here are some suggestions for several interesting exhibitions to go see") and the more general, anonymous nature of mass email newsletters ("possibly in a city near you").
But I quibble over trifles. She's shooting for the moon...
A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Sorry, I should also explain that in the latest edition of 'GOOP - Nourish the Inner Aspect', Gwyneth goes on to list a number of recommended art exhibitions in London, NY, LA, Chicago, New Orleans and Madrid, including Rothko at Tate Modern and Rembrandt at the Prado.
ReplyDeleteIt is, alas, too long a list to reproduce here.
It's nice to know she has friends she can trust 'in all matters of culture'. We should all have such friends, just as we should all have the number of a good plumber or car mechanic.

ReplyDeleteNo comment.
My (formerly high) opinion of Gwyneth Paltrow is dropping by the sentence.
ReplyDeleteGee, what a head full of sand she seems to have. I will stay on until her next posting of 'the little black dress', but if things don't pick up then, I'm out of here.
ReplyDeleteYes Gwyn, I live in a place where the seasons change - as it happens we get about seven seasons in one day at this time of year, and I'm just now wondering which item of clothing is going to be the right one to choose, to get me through the day. Can I cope without going online?
Oh leave her alone, she's lovely.
