Shirley Seated in Grandstand



We finished inventory a little bit earlier today than I expected. . .so I decided to treat myself to an outing at the Museum of Art. For months I've been wanting to see the Rodney Smith http://www.rodneysmith.com/ exhibit and since today is the last day it's showing, it appeared to be my last chance. Smith's photography was really beautiful. I especially loved that it spans a wide range of genres. . .including landscape, portraiture, fashion, and photojournalism. The only drawback. . ."too many ballerinas"--ML.

This is my favorite--Shirley Seated in Grandstand. She is beautiful. . .timeless, really. What is exactly is Shirley thinking? Did she think the race started at 4. . .when it actually started at 1? Maybe her scarf is tied too tight. Perhaps she is dismayed because she forgot to pack her tutu and the photographer is upset with her (though Mark is grateful). Maybe her wicked step-sister signed her up for LDS Singles. I bet she's is waiting for Robert Redford. Afterall, he promised to show her his stables and buy her a Spiced Apple Cider from the Starbuck's down the road. Mmmm, Robert always smells so good. I bet he's wearing a hat and I'm sure his hands are warm.

This is what I think Shirley is: She really is a jockey for the Kentucky Derby and came in first and has come up after everyone has left to contemplate her win. Did you notice her hat - everyone wears hat at the Kentucky Derby - she got a new one and couldn't wear it during the ride and decided to come up and give it a try. Also, she is hungry after her victory and is waiting to get the last hot dog, Fresca and popcorn and they just haven't brought it to her yet - remember she is the BIG WINNER.
