Okay, technically this is Cock-Flavour (sp) Noodle Soup, but still. Couldn’t they just call it Chicken flavored soup mix? Talk about being desperate for attention.

Beauties Sculpture Installation By John Monti in The Grace Building Lobby
All Photos By Gail
I love a happy accident, which is what I have to call my discovery of this fun new exhibit by artist John Monti, which I spotted in the 42nd Street Lobby of The Grace Building as I walked past on the way to the F Train.
The installation, which is made up of seven amorphous-shaped bright Red and Lime Green sculptures, is called Beauties and it actually opens with a reception on Thursday, September 15th from 6 – 8 PM, which means there will probably be free wine!
Up close, you can see that the sculptures’ surfaces are covered with fine, sparkly glitter!
I enjoyed looking at them.
I know that if Geoffrey sees this photo he will say that they look like Sex Toys. Because they do.
Beauties will be on Exhibit through November 11th, 2016, at The Grace Building Lobby, Located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas (AKA Sixth Avenue), But the Main Entrance is on 42nd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues, just across the street from Bryant Park and New York Public Library. This exhibit is sponsored by Arts Brookfield.
Herb Alpert’s Spirit Totem Monuments at Dante Park, Lincoln Center
Hey, remember back in January when I met music industry legend Herb Alpert? That was cool. In addition to his exhibit at ACA Galleries, Herb also has this public installation of three of his monumental, 16-foot Bronze Spirit Totem Statues installed at Dante Park, a triangular lot at the intersection of Broadway, Amsterdam and 65th Street, just in front of Lincoln Center.
Hers a close up on one of the sculptures which I managed to crop most of the foot traffic out of.
Many passersby stopped to admire, pose with and photograph the sculptures, but I’d bet that most of them had no idea that Alpert is the talented artist behind this work, because the above identifying sign is mounted very high up on a pole, not really in the sight lines of a person just walking by on the street. Geoffrey and I just happened to recognize them as we walked to the 1 Train after checking out the Beatles Exhibit, because they looked just like the sculptures that we saw at his ACA Galleries exhibit earlier in the year.
The sculptures will be on display until April 15th, 2014.
Man Named Ben Stops Correcting People Who Call Him Dan
It must be a slow news day, because I just read a very fun story about a guy named Ben who people are ALWAYS calling Dan. There are worse problems to have, I know, but still. In other breaking news: names I am often called that are not my own include:
Grace
Claire
Carol
Jill
