Spent my lunch time at the MoMA Staff Caff and enjoyed a healthy brussel sprouts #bowtie while everyone in my office started #Day1 of the [quite silly + expensive] Blue Print Cleanse.
Stay active & forget the gimmicks folks! However, I'm all for being fit. Whatever gets you to eat right is fine by me (but seriously, save your $$$).

Road the elevator twice today with Tilda Swinton at MoMA. Needless to say, her recreated performance piece The Maybe required me to recreate her sleeping box since the guards wouldn't let me draw a bow tie on it.
#Bowtie from Sharpie ink on a box made of electrical tape, wooden skewers, ziplock bags (for the glass) & paper towels for the mattress & pillow.

Gearing up for tonight's opening night celebration of New Directors/New Films! #Bowtie from some spun out VHS tape on wild animals appropriately placed on top of the MoMA ticketing desk.

p.s. Extra #bowtielove to anyone that is reminded of my Pedro Almodóvar Film Benefit-inspired bow tie!
After an incredibly successful David Rockeller Award Luncheon ($3 million raised for MoMA educational initiatives) we're all burnt out but moving on. Wrapping up paperwork at my desk but had to make a #bowtie out of the purple blue anemones that made our tables POP!

#Bowtie from the invitation while I sit at my desk doing voucher entry & other super fun accounting things. Oh, & prepping for Solange 's soundcheck (she's headlining The Armory Show Party at MoMA tomorrow!).

Working late at MoMA for a corporate event. #Bowtie from baby pencils at the audio desk.
Fresh fruit breakfast #bowtie at the MoMA Staff Caff. However, I'll stick to my usual/daily banana and peanut butter.
Today's shot was made from leftover MoMA/MoMA PS1 2012 admission passes that I found while cleaning n' freshening up my desk for the new year.

My first Bow Tie Collection is complete!
It's only fitting to recap my year of bow ties while on my commute to MoMA this morning. Forest Hills is a mixed bag of cultures with rich history and forgotten treasures. The Beatles have played here. The US Open was originally hosted here. Tudor architecture and manicured lawns create an oasis of extravagance in a suburban setting just minutes from Manhattan. I love #FoHi.
The marvelous curatorial departments at The Museum of Modern Art made the creative process somewhat easy. Their immaculate attention to detail and non-biased ability to display the art allowed me to construct 11 individual pieces that reflect my personality and their hard work. The bow ties inspired by MoMA benefits, which my department tirelessly plans and executes, gave me creative license to explore and design while being constantly inspired by the Museum around me.
Yes, there are many incredible perks working in an institution filled with billions of dollars of superb design and fascinating art. I only hope that one day, through trial and error, extreme thought, reflection, and determination, I too can produce something the world would want to see.
Thank you for your unwavering support and criticism. Onward and upward in 2012!
Please take my poll below and tell me which bow tie from my first Bow Tie Collection you like best.
