Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Six)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. Saturday was great fun.

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Six)

Saturday was another fairly chill day. we went to the New York Public Library first thing, to see the original Winnie the Pooh toys, which were so cute and amazing to see.
If you didn’t know, I adore Winnie the Pooh. It was a big, pretty building, in which the A.A. Milne box was the highlight. This was in the children’s library though, and I don’t think children are going to appreciate these as much as adults are. Although, they are trying to keep the stories alive over the generations so maybe they do care.
Anyway, that was super cool and I would 10/10 recommend, and the building itself was also pretty impressive :


After a nice walk through Central Park, exploring

and dealing with the heat,
Why did I wear jeans in 29c
we went to the Guggenheim museum in the afternoon. While it was all kind of weird modern art, the building itself was very impressive and cool to look at, and the decor was nice :
I took some pictures of some fun art that I enjoyed:






I also had a lot of fun spying on Connor from different heights :
I'm pretty sure the people on the level below him were creeped out by me

We had dinner at Taco Bell
and then headed home. Well, we tried to head home, but Saturday was the day of the big power outage, which happened while we were trying to get home.

We managed to get off at a station where the entrance we needed was closed, so we decided to walk to the next one, where they told us that the power outage was affecting the subway system. It was weird since we had no idea it was happening, but looking it up on the taxi ride home, it was huge and affected Times Square, as well as Broadway, more than anything else. Lots of shows were cancelled that night and the outage in general seemed to cause calamity in the city. we got home in the midst of the outage and saw all that happened on the news in the morning.

Saturday was a great day, even if you don’t spend lots of time in Central Park it’s a nice walk since it’s so big, and the Guggenheim was fun. We went after 5pm on a weekend which meant it was pay what you want rather than however expensive it normally is, so it only cost us $5 each for entry. 
Would recommend, although the queue for the museum was insane so either get there to queue for like an hour or get there much later. A fun day all in all.
My post for Sunday will be up next week, so make sure to follow my socials to keep updated!

Curly Hair, What's in There? Queer Eye

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. Queer Eye Right, so if you are in any way aware of current popular culture, you'll have heard of Queer Eye, the Netflix reboot of the classic show where five gay men (the so-called "Fab Five") makeover people. Season three landed on Netflix yesterday (March 15) and I am living, I've already watched it all. If you've not already seen this show, lemme tell you why you should. First off, it's not your typical makeover show. Like yeah, I get it, you're thinking "it's a bunch of fashion conscious gay guys so it is" but it's really not. I mean, they do have aspects of that, they makeover their wardrobe, their look, their living space, but they do so much more. In just a week, they seem to makeover peoples' lives. As well as the three aforementioned aspects, ther...

Curly Hair, Been There: The Louvre

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there.  Paris: The Louvre    So I went to the Louvre last week and I have some thoughts.  It was a nice day and outside, with the famous pyramids and the impressive building, it was a really nice welcome to the landmark. I mean, the whole thing of the Louvre is that it's all nice to look at and it definitely was. I mean, the armed police and street sellers trying to flog their tickets were not so enjoyable, but the rest of it was a lovely introduction to the spectacle.  It's very impressive inside as well, the entrance is like a cave and then there are different passages going to different places and it's really cool.  I will say that it's a little confusing. I had a map, but if you think I can find my way around with or without guidance you are sorely mistaken. I got lost pretty much instantly. I was wandering around statue...
