Victoria Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 And to think I actually lived through all that [censored] in NYC - Only to live through even more [censored] on RWG... LOL! P.S.: I hate the late 60s. Thank God my parents didn't hook up until the sixties were a distant memory, and disco was upon the world. Go BeeGees!

Watchmeister Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Even if you are not into modern art they do a fabulous brunch on the weekends on the lower floor. It is very kid friendly. And if contemporary is not your thing walk up 10 blocks and go to the Met. Or down 20 blocks and go see the new MOMA. It is phenomenal. Even if you don't like the art the facility and the installations are unbelievable. I am going to keep a certain RWG dignitary busy looking at all these things.

slay Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks for the heads-up! The whitney is an awesome museum, and that summer of love stuff is right up my alley Its REALLY god. The bad thing was that I had to donate before I got in... and I actually just went because some fellas that I met in NYC (including 2 girls ) wanted to go and saids its almost free. So I only have them my change. But afterwards I'd say its worth 10-15$, and I'm tight when it comes to museums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 actually disco was a product of the mid-70's not the 60's. Hence what I wrote, "a distant memory". By the way, disco was really the brain-child of the nightclub scene in the mid 1950s, later famous courtesy of Monaco's Jimmy'z by Regine -- as people can tell by the French term, discoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Regine rules! Thank God she never allowed hippies in her clubs. She did, but somewhat before you hit the scene. When her place was on the Boulevard de Montparnasse in Paris, it was more a question of who you were than what you were worth that determined your entry into Regine's - known as New Jimmy's at that time. Which is not to say that she was running a Salvation Army Mission either: there was great wealth, but not just. An experience and an atmosphere the Yups who came of age in the eighties would never know. Which is just as well, since the majority would never would have made it past the doorman: it was that select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 She did, but somewhat before you hit the scene. I hit it going fast, age 12.

Which is not to say that she was running a Salvation Army Mission either: there was great wealth, but not just. You know the French. If you have some talent, any talent -- you can juggle, declaim Homer in Erasmian-accented Greek, show them how to make dreadlocks, or simply have an Audrey Hepburn pout drinking absinthe in a corner -- you're in. If she liked Allen Ginzberg, and his ilk, so much the better. But I personally saw her turn away Coconut Grove marina hippies when they came a-callin', and I'm sure their yachts were worth a fortune.

ryyannon Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Coconut Grove 'hippies' (huh?) with expensive yachts sounds totally grotesque: I probably wouldn't have let them in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The French do not understand "dress down". They had to be begged by Frank LeBoeuf to come to the Stade de France in WC 1998, to come dressed in t-shirts, not Dior jackets and Herm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I understand dress-down. I lounge around my home in a white or black t-shirt and black Nike work-out shorts most times I post on RWG (now you know). But pseudo-hippies, with long hair, tattoos, BO, and clothes best described as "middle-aged German lady wearing a pup tent" should be stood up against a wall, given a cigarette, and shot -- yachts and all.

Victoria Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 P.S.: I bet you my right udder the one with the flowing pup tent is a hypocritical Merc-owning, Halliburton shares-having, Pacific Heights-dwelling freakazoid.
