„Usually I don’t go to exhibitions and if I go I don’t enjoy it. I prefer a good bar or even a club, where its about moves and looks and charms but yesterday I experienced something truly magical. My dog rusty, he just wouldn’t stop pulling on the leach, I ran in my heels and enjoyed it pretty much, I must admit. The liberty, I think in heels you are faster because you are already tip toeing. Laughing I arrived at a venue where the most beautifully dressed creatures awaited me. It was like a Sofia Coppola movie. People ate a cake inspired by the Chloe 2003 Campaign with the pineapples and the horses in it.
It was classy and loud, a hot DJ girl played raggaton and people danced with primarily there asses. I was offered champagne which was accompanied by a miniature version of Dita van tees made out of espresso martini foam. I went inside and the artworks were windows showing an alternative reality in which Adam was the one being seduced by the snake to have sex with his girlfriend Eva, not the other way around which seemed more realistic to me. I called my girlfriends immediately and we got fucked up!“
