Modernism Week

CLEARLY , I AM NOT A VERY ‘ MODERN’ GIRL.   THE HOME DESIGNS WERE NOT MY THING … VERY MINIMALIST .  I PREFER MORE OF A MIX OF THIS AND COZY FURNITURE AND WARM COLLECTIONS OF ART AND OBJECTS.  THESE SAMPLE PLACES FELT COLD AND SPARE TO ME … BUT I’M SURE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY WERE WONDERFUL.

BUT , THAT SAID , I THOUGHT THE MODULAR HOME IDEA WOULD BE SO PERFECT TO HELP HOUSE THE PEOPLE IN OUR CITIES WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE HOMELESS.  WE WALKED THROUGH A 400 SQ. FT. HOME THAT HAD ALL THE EXPECTED ROOMS … BEDROOM, KITCHEN, BATHROOM, LIVING ROOM, ETC. … CLEAN DESIGN AND PERFECT FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST NEEDS A PLACE TO REST THEIR HEAD AND THEIR BODY AND MAKE IT THEIR OWN.

I DO REALLY LOVE THE RETRO DESIGNS FOR CARDS THOUGH.  I LOVE THE OLD HOLLYWOOD LOOK OF THE LETTERING AND COLOUR SCHEME.

I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED THIS (ALMOST) 2 WEEKS AT HOW PREVALENT THE LGBTQIA COMMUNITY IS HERE.  THE PRETTY RAINBOW FLAGS ARE EVERYWHERE …ON HOTELS, IN THE CROSSWALKS,  SHOP WINDOWS …   I AM NOT USED TO SEEING SO MANY SAME-SEX COUPLES OPENING WALKING AROUND HOLDING HANDS AND BEING AFFECTIONATE.  IT’S GOOD TO HAVE A PLACE TO BE YOURSELF.

WE FIT INTO THE ‘OTHER’ COMMUNITY… HA HA.. OLD, SEMI-RETIRED, COUPLES , GOLFERS (TERRY), SNOWBIRDS. 

AND THE CARS HERE !  I DON’T REMEMBER SEEING SO MANY MINT CONDITION CLASSIC CARS AND OF COURSE CONVERTIBLES .  IF THE OLD STYLE CARS WERE BEATEN UP I’D HAVE A CORNUCOPIA OF IDEAS FOR MY FUTURE PAINTINGS !

SECOND LAST DAY HERE. I GUESS I BETTER GET GOING AND ENJOY IT…..
