This time some serious arty-filmic action with a glimpse of the Hollywood Costume show (free ticket from immensely kind passer-by) at the VMFA. J and I favoured the green slinky dress from Atonement and M - Dorothy's dress from Wizard of Oz. Moulin Rouge caught our eye too. However Cleopatra stole the show with her 1930s and 60s variations... this was slick production c/o the V&A no less.
Upstairs we sketched Egyptian shabti dolls and hieroglyphics with some more quality control stress with the eldest offspring and then it was out into the snow, layered for survival and Dale Chihuly's red glass reeds glinting against the sparkling white - my new shades c/o Colin Leslie got their first official outing.
