“One person's crazyness is another person's reality" - Tim Burton

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have to be my all time favourite celebrity couple.
I think its mainly because in my head they seem to be the coolest and wackiest parents in the world. On top of having awesome parents Billy Ray and Nell (their kids) are also lucky to have Johnny Depp as their Godfather. And not many people can boast about that.
Anyway here is the photos of the lovely Helena, Tim and Johnny last night at the opening of Tim's exhibition (which starts today) at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. They are showing a retrospective of Tim Burton's fantastic work which looks absolutely brilliant. I wish I could visit!
But for now here are some photos, enjoy-I am off to have some Sunday Dinner ;)


And here are all of the photos that Tim Burton did in a collaboration with Harpers Bazaar last month in anticipation of his exhibition. The photographs just show how much art, fashion and film can merge into one. Photographs by Tim Walker:

"People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish...but that's only if it's done properly" -Banksy

Sorry I have only just got around to blogging about my trip to Bristol to see the Banksy exhibition...
It was brilliant and its not often that you go to a gallery and every single piece in the exhibit is at such a high standard. Seriously it was genius; witty, tongue in cheek pictures often with a political message behind it.
Needless to say it was extremely popular and some people ended up queuing for 7 hours to get in!!! Hehe we got lucky though because my friends Mum got up at like 6.30am to be at the front of the queue and save our places.
AND as a bonus, instead of being snooty and not letting you take photos like lots of other galleries I know (ahem...the BALTIC...) you could take as many photos as you liked so obviously I went snapper happy:
(Haha and excuse the very dorky photo of me above, I think I was just super excited!)
The reception of the museam was inside the icecream van! Haha it would be so fun to work in there...
Man 1: Who are all these people?
Man 2: Oh they're not people, hes just crap at drawing flowers
