Rosa VIP

Rosa sneaks into exclusive events and rates them on her top secret blog. She could tell ya the address, but then she'd have to kill ya. Actually, readers can't even get in without a password, because of the little red velvet cyber ropes. The password, should you ever find Rosa's blog is Lookwholettheriffraffin. You'll figure that out in a minute.

Dropped Rosa at the Museum of Art members' opening reception for 13 artists that each won a South Florida Cultural Consortium grant of either $7,500 or $15,000. That's a lot of money. My personal favorite of the show was Robert Nathans big colorful paintings full of scissors and mice and flowers and a bizarre mix of other delightful things. There was wine flowing, piano playing and one very fascinating-looking small man in a suit and patterned pants that all the wine-swilling ladies seemed to be checking out. I've seen the crowds thicker here for such events in the past, but it was a pretty rainy, wet night and I think that kept a lot of people in, but not me. I was ready to get out in the rain tonight.

Rosa's in the rest room, just outside the most amazing little bluely lit foyer with a bunch of very fascinating little artworks to look at at, in a bluish stained glass sorta way. Don't forget to look up at the ceiling ... It's a work of art too, with lots of blue. I really like blue lights ... love them.
