Alice

for christmas, chris got a fancy-shmancy ipad.  an on this ipad was a fancy-shmancy app call flipboard.  and on flipboard was this art website called my modern met.  have you heard about it?  i hadn't.  and on this website are blogs.  i am obsessed with one blogger in particular,  alice.

i love alice.  i want to be friends with alice.  i want alice's job.  she posts the most incredible finds from the art world daily. how does she find out about all this amazing stuff? warning, if you subscribe to her blog, your reader will be instantly full because she posts.  a lot.  not a day goes by that i don't look at what she has found and say "wow".  audibly.  this stuff is incredible.  here is a small taste of my recent favorites.  please, please, please check it out if you have a minute or two or two-hundred.
