London is the Bee's Knees

My London Journey Continues. The highlight of the trip so far was going to the Victorian and Albert Museum. The Victorian and Albert Museum is a museum of the decorative arts. As you can imagine, I was loving my life every second I was in there. 

 One of the Exhibits explored the work of idiosyncratic and groundbreaking designer Yohji Yamamoto. What an incredible man. He played with the ideas of gender and with fabric not normally used in fashion. There was actually a dress made out of felt. I wish pictures were allowed. Unfortunately this is all i could get. It is still pretty incredible! The exhibit was honestly... Life Changing. something Yohji said was- "Dont care what they write about you, just measure it in inches." Ha, I love that. What an inspiring man.

 This is a harpsichord at the museum. I thought it was cool 
 The History of Costume Design. This is from Lion King
 Mick Jagger actually wore this... Ba hahaha
 Elton John wore this... What a man...
 The best part was the costumes you could try on...
 This is Holly and I, just loving the costume room.

 St. Paul's Cathedral!
 Woo Hoo!

 We were just walking down the street, and came upon this building. I love that you can do that here. Just be walking down the street and come upon such ornate buildings.

 This is at the British Library. Such an incredible place! That book shelf is 4 stories high!

 A retractable Bike... umm Awesome?!
 Megan and I went to an incredible Italian restaurant last night. She ordered pasta.. and i went straight for Gelatto. This is the fine Water they gave us.. haha, it was great.
I saw All's Well that Ends well at the globe a couple of nights ago. It was an interesting production.. I am still trying to understand Shakespeare, but hey, I am getting much better, and his plays are becoming so much more interesting.. so that is an improvement! Well, its the first rainy day in London so far, and the plans are to see little eagles. That should be wonderful! Goodbye from this side of the 51st parallel.
