Z.car
Architect Zaha Hadid is best known for futuristic designs. Zaha has designed the central building for BMW's Leipzig plant and the "Mind Zone" in the UK's Millennium Dome. Her Z.CAR project - which debuted at New York's Guggenheim Museum this summer - is a two-seater, powered by hydrogen fuel cell -that has a speed-adjusted wheelbase.
I've been to a modern art museum she designed that is in Ohio. I admire her and would like to see more of Zaha Hadid's work.

Lizard in a Dress
Last eve on David Letterman a 12 yr. old girl from Florida was a guest.
Lilly had a talent of hypnotizing lizards by rubbing their bellies. Then she would dress them up. I was so tickled by this, I had to post it.

Anish Kapoor
Years ago, I saw an installation at the Tate Modern in London by Anish Kapoor. It was so unexpected and fantastic that I will always remember being moved to tears. The Sky Mirror was in London and now it is in NYC.
