Last weekend I was up in Los Angeles visiting a few girlfriends. On Sunday I went to the Getty Center--a seriously impressive museum that has an art collection reminiscent of the best museums in Europe, coupled with million dollar views of downtown LA's skyline to the Pacific shores of Santa Monica.
As I was walking through and looking at 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th century art, I was in awe of the muses. The female subjects of these paintings would largely be considered fat or unattractive by modern society's standards of beauty, but I was fascinated by the curves, femininity, and expressiveness of these Rubenesque girls who had major back (and front)!
The art was inspiring in so many ways, and it made me look at myself in a much different light. Who knows, maybe I was just born in the wrong century?! I most definitely would be in vogue back then...
