The Advanced Guide to 009BET

The internet was just born and already it has 6 billion websites, one for every person on Earth today. Human beings are obsessed with writing and even more obsessed with Paris Hilton, the number one search on the internet. Lets get to know a little about our modern day Aphrodite aka Venus, the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sex worshipped by the Greek and Roman people 4 thousand years ago. Paris Hilton proves once again that sex sells both hamburgers and religion.

The Greek Goddess Aphrodite Festival is called the Aphrodisiac, which was celebrated all over Greece especially in Athens and Corinth. Christina Onassis was the heiress of Aristotle Onassis the Greek shipping billionaire. We are talking real money here. Christina was Aristotles only living child, a real heiress, like Jennifer Gates, 9, and Phoebe Gates, 3, the two daughters of the worlds richest man, 009BET send me the Bill Gates, at $51 billion dollars and counting. Bill and Melinda French of Dallas Texas have given so much money to charity that they have completely eradicated poverty in Africa. Paris Hilton, if she is lucky enough to make it into her grandfathers will will be lucky to inherit one million dollars. The One with the money, Paris great grandfather Conrad Hilton, (whose son Nicky was the first husband of Elizabeth Taylor), left the grand total of nothing to his 4 children. He married his third wife at 87 and then left his entire fortune to the Catholic Church. Paris grandfather Barron Hilton went to court to contest the will and he won, becoming the first person ever to defeat the Vatican in court, walking away with a few hundred million. He has 8 kids. They have kids. Paris slice of the pie could be $200,000, walking around money for the Sultan of Brunei, whose oil fields America is now spending its blood to protect. That is hot not.

Being an heiress is normally a mirage, as Christina Onassis can testify to. Have you ever noticed how many pop icons cash in on Jesus story right in their names? Its like peoples minds are like search engines responding either positively or negatively to certain keywords like Paris Hilton. Madonna, the Virgin Mary, Christ Ina Aguilera, Britney Spears, I have a pain in my side, said Jesus. Is that a spear in my ribcage or are you just happy to see me? Jesus Christ was a Jewish Rabbi painted by the Greek New Testament writers with the Godlike qualities of the Greek Goddess Eurynome and Bellerophon and his flying horse Pegasus and several other Greek deities. You can read all about it at The Temple of Love. 20 million Christian and Jewish children lost their lives in WW2 aka The War Against the Jews because according to stories which God of Mount Sinai aka Jesus aka Allah aka Elohim Himself endlessly calls man made legends and fairy tales right in the Holy Bibles, the Jewish people killed this half real half fictitious character 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Humans have a problem separating fact from fiction. At least Paris Hilton is a real person. Ive seen her. Ive touched her. Ive kissed her. Her lips are as candy. Her legs are as ladders.

Sex sells. Paris Hilton was a nobody, an extra in a series of B movies until the videotape of her coiting Rick Salomon in 1 Night in Paris showed up on the internet last year at the same time that The Simple Life debuted. People are fascinated by infamy. Did you know that the male cats penis has spines which point backwards? Upon withdrawal of the penis the spikes rake the walls of the females vagina. The female needs this stimulation for ovulation to begin. Paris Hilton, outraged over the release of the video, raked in $400,000 plus a percentage of the profits of the film which shot her to super stardom. Without that video Paris Hilton is serving cocktails at Studio 54 today instead of dancing on the bar topless with the worlds media murdering each other for a snapshot of Paris Hilton half nude.

Paris Whitney Hilton was named after Whitney Houston because her name wasnt famous enough. During the Aphrodite Festival, the Aphrodisiac, in Corinth Greece, the men had intercourse with the Priestesses of Aphrodite. This was considered a method of worshipping Aphrodite. What did you get for Christmas? In the Holy Temple in Jerusalem the Priests lured the people in with The Temple Prostitutes who lived in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. King Solomon who built the Holy Temple had 900 wives, concubines and mistresses. Compared to him Jesus was a mere piker with his Mary Magdalene and a few of her girlfriends. Do you hear what Im saying girlfriend? At least Paris Hilton is a real person.

Aphrodite was born as an 18 year old Paris Hilton in the Sea off of Cyprus after Cronus cut off Uranus genitals and the elder Gods blood and semen dropped on the Sea where they began to foam. Aphrodite rose out of the foam in her 18 year old birthday suit. When did people become so prudish? Going wild over 1 Night in Paris? 4,000 years ago mating with hookers in the Temple was normal. In 1879 William-Adolphe Bouguereau painted the Birth of Venus, (Venus was Aphrodites Roman name), which showed the full face on nude 18 year old Aphrodite being born rising from the sea foam. How did Hugh Hefner get to be called risqu? And where did all the paintings and likenesses of Jesus come from? There isnt one single word of description of Jesus in the Holy Bible or anywhere else.

Sex sold religion then and it still sells it today. The Las Vegas Hilton boasts the worlds largest free standing sign, Welcome Idiots. The hijackers on 911 fully expected to hit the twin towers then immediately wake up in eternal paradise with 72 virgins and wine with no side effects, because they read it in their Bible. Lot, the only righteous man in sin city, (Tony the Ant came in second) Sodom and Gomorrah was saved by God and rewarded with wine and sex with his two virgin daughters. Oscar Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas with 85% of the vote was the mobs lawyer who represented Meyer Lansky, Ace Rosenthal, Tony the Ant and corrupt San Diego mayor Roger Hedgecock to get the job. He recently said on Television, Those who deface freeways with graffiti should have their thumbs cut off on Television. Violence sells too. At least Paris Hilton is real.

MBTI & Celebs Paris Hilton: ISFJ

“Paris Whitney Hilton (born February 17, 1981) is an American media personality, socialite, businesswoman, model, singer, actress, and DJ.

She is a great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels. (…)

In 2003, a leaked 2001 sex tape with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, later released as 1 Night in Paris, catapulted her into global fame,

and the reality television series The Simple Life, in which she starred with her friend and socialite counterpart Nicole Richie, started its five-year run with 13 million viewers, on Fox. (…)

Credited with influencing the revival of the famous for being famous phenomenon throughout the 2000s, Hilton was, for a number of years, one of the world's most ubiquitous public figures.

She appeared in the 2007 Guinness World Records as the Most Overrated Celebrity, while Forbes included her in its Celebrity 100 in 2004, 2005 and 2006, and ranked her as one of the Most Overexposed Celebrities in 2012.

Critics indeed suggest that she exemplifies the celebutante—a celebrity not through talent or work, but through inherited wealth and lavish lifestyle.

Hilton has parlayed her media fame into an eponymous brand, which includes 19 product lines, 50 boutiques worldwide, and a club resort in Manila, Philippines.

Her perfume line alone has brought in over US$2.5 billion in revenue to date. Variety named her its "Billion Dollar Entrepreneur" in 2011.”

Deborah Iurato: è la volta di "Live Set - Groove Factory"

Da venerdì 10 giugno sarà disponibile sulle piattaforme digitali "Live Set – Groove Factory", il nuovo ep di Deborah Iurato.

Prima di tornare sul palco in giro per l'Italia, Deborah Iurato si cimenta in una veste inedita nella quale interpreta le più belle canzoni Soul e R&B di icone internazionali come Whitney Houston, Aretha Franlin, Tina Turner, Annie Lennox, Etta James, ecc.

Per l'occasione, è stato creato un contest sulla pagina Instagram di Deborah Iurato dove sono stati scelti 10 fan che hanno avuto l'opportunità di assistere alle registrazioni del live in studio che si è svolto lo scorso 10 aprile al Groove Factory di Bologna, all'interno del quale è stata allestita un'ambientazione intima che ricorda il salotto di un appartamento con luci, lampade, tappeti, piante, cuscini... Durante l'evento sono state fatte delle riprese video speciali che usciranno sempre dal 10 giugno sui canali ufficiali di Deborah.

Spiega l'artista a proposito del suo nuovo progetto: «La musica Soul - R&B ha sempre fatto parte del mio percorso artistico e ho sempre desiderato un mio live cantando i brani che ascoltavo da bambina. Non vedo l'ora di trasmettere la mia energia e condividere le mie emozioni insieme al pubblico».

Biografia

Deborah Iurato ha esordito nel 2014 nel talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi, vincendo la tredicesima edizione. Nello stesso periodo ha debuttato con il suo primo EP, intitolato anch'esso Deborah Iurato e che ha raggiunto la seconda posizione della classifica italiana degli album, oltre ad essere stato certificato disco di platino dalla FIMI per le oltre 50.000 copie vendute. Questa pubblicazione è stata accompagnata dal singolo Danzeremo a luci spente, uscito in radio il 2 maggio 2014 e che ha ottenuto la certificazione disco d'oro dalla FIMI per aver venduto oltre 25.000 copie, dal singolo Anche se fuori è inverno, scritto da Fiorella Mannoia e che ha ottenuto un buon successo in Italia, raggiungendo la vetta della classifica dei singoli italiana e venendo certificato anch'esso disco d'oro dalla FIMI, una candidatura da parte di RTL 102.5 come brano dell'estate 2014 al Summer Festival, e da Piccole cose, estratto in radio il 25 luglio.

Durante l'estate 2014 la cantante è stata ospite dei concerti di Fiorella Mannoia tenuti a Taormina, Palermo e Gela e di quello di Alessandra Amoroso svoltosi a Catanzaro. Nel 2014 la cantante ha pubblicato il singolo L'amore vero, che ha anticipato il suo album di debutto Libere, prodotto da Mario Lavezzi e che ha raggiunto l'undicesima posizione nella classifica italiana degli album. L'album è stato promosso dai singoli Dimmi dov'è il cielo e l'omonimo Libere, rispettivamente usciti il 5 dicembre 2014 e il 13 marzo 2015, nonché da un tour promozionale svoltosi tra il 2014 e il 2015. Nel 2015 la cantante ha aperto il concerto di Lionel Richie tenutosi al Mediolanum Forum di Assago, mentre nel concerto tenuto al Teatro Dal Verme di Milano il mese seguente hanno partecipato in qualità di ospiti d'eccezione Giovanni Caccamo, Loredana Bertè e Rocco Hunt rispettivamente nei brani L'amore vero, E la luna bussò e Sono molto buona. Nella data del 22 marzo invece è stata ospite Fiorella Mannoia, con la quale ha cantato Treni a vapore.

Il 5 giugno 2015 è uscito il singolo inedito Da sola, scritto da Giovanni Caccamo, musicato da Placido Salomone e presentato il giorno precedente ai Wind Music Awards 2015 e il 26 dello stesso mese alla seconda serata del Summer Festival, manifestazione alla quale la cantante si è classificata seconda.

Nell'agosto 2015 è stata rivelata la collaborazione della Iurato con il cantautore milanese Marco Rotelli alla realizzazione del brano Fermeremo il tempo, pubblicato come singolo nel settembre 2015. Nel febbraio 2016 ha esordito al Festival di Sanremo insieme a Giovanni Caccamo nella categoria "Campioni" con il singolo Via da qui, classificatosi terzo alla manifestazione. Il singolo è stato successivamente inserito nel secondo album in studio Sono ancora io, uscito il 12 febbraio 2016. Il 20 maggio è uscito il terzo singolo estratto dall'album, l'omonimo Sono ancora io.

A fine luglio 2016 è stata rivelata la collaborazione con il rapper Moreno per la realizzazione del brano Lasciami andare, contenuto nel album di quest'ultimo, Slogan. Dal 16 settembre al 4 novembre è stata concorrente della sesta edizione del programma televisivo Tale e quale show, trionfando nella puntata finale. Il 3 dicembre è stata ospite nella semifinale della 59ª edizione dello Zecchino d'Oro. Il 7 Giugno 2019 pubblica il singolo Stammi Bene (On My Mind) feat SoulSystem. Nel 2020 pubblica i singoli "Supereroi", "Ma cosa vuoi?", "Voglia di Gridare" per l'etichetta Ora Label. "Live Set – Groove Factory" è il nuovo ep live in studio in uscita sulle piattaforme di streaming digitale il 10 giugno 2022.

11 Ways to Completely Sabotage Your Bắn Cá Liên Minh

The Greek Goddess Aphrodite Festival is called the Aphrodisiac, which was celebrated all over Greece especially in Athens and Corinth. Christina Onassis was the heiress of Aristotle Onassis the Greek shipping billionaire. We are talking real money here. Christina was Aristotles only living child, a real heiress, like Jennifer Gates, 9, and Phoebe Gates, 3, the two daughters of the worlds richest man, send me the Bill Gates, at $51 billion dollars and counting. Bill and Melinda French of Dallas Texas have given so much money to charity that they have completely eradicated poverty in Africa. Paris Hilton, if she is lucky enough to make it into her grandfathers will will be lucky to inherit one million dollars. The One with the money, Paris great grandfather Conrad Hilton, (whose son Nicky was the first husband of Elizabeth Taylor), left the grand total of nothing to his 4 children. He married his third wife at 87 and then left his entire fortune to the Catholic Church. Paris grandfather Barron Hilton went to court to contest the will and Ae88 Vin he won, becoming the first person ever to defeat the Vatican in court, walking away with a few hundred million. He has 8 kids. They have kids. Paris slice of the pie could be $200,000, walking around money for the Sultan of Brunei, whose oil fields America is now spending its blood to protect. That is hot not.

Paris Whitney Hilton was named after Whitney Houston because her name wasnt famous enough. During the Aphrodite Festival, the Aphrodisiac, in Corinth Greece, the men had intercourse with the Priestesses of Aphrodite. This was considered a method of worshipping Aphrodite. What did you get for Christmas? In the Holy Eu9/EuBet Temple in Jerusalem the Priests lured the people in with The Temple Prostitutes who lived in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Mt. Whitney, May 2021

Sometimes a sufferfest is exactly what the doctor ordered, and, thankfully, permits to hike Mt. Whitney (14,508′) are online. It takes a little searching on recreation.gov for the permits to come available, but they can be booked immediately. On Monday, May 24th, a day hike permit for Wednesday, May 26th became available, so I grabbed it.

OK, I had scored a permit the week before, but I’d strained my right calf during a 3 mile run and wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to hike 21+ miles in the backcountry with a bad calf. In the meantime, I had strained my calf more on a 5 mile run, but I really wanted to get back onto Whitney.

I left town about 11:30am on Tuesday. Unlike previous trips to the Eastern Sierras, I was in no hurry. This time I decided to set cruise control at 70 MPH (the speed limit), and see what gas mileage I could get up to. It also took the edge completely off of driving. A few podcasts later and mileage was showing a solid 44 miles per gallon. Considering it’s an SUV (a compact SUV, but an SUV all the same), I was pretty happy to see 44 MPG.

Around Bakersfield, I cut east and crossed over the mountains to Tehachapi. Hitting the 14 North, I let the hypermileage goal go and bumped cruise up to 75. Fuel mileage dropped, but that was OK. Cruising along without much traffic I rolled into Lone Pine around 5:30 or 6:00pm.

Also unlike previous trips, I had no need to stop in Lone Pine, so I turned left on Whitney Portal Road and proceeded up the hill to the Portal.

It’s somewhat early in the season, so I wasn’t sure if the parking areas would be filled with hikers’ cars or if there would be spaces available. I had decided to literally car camp for the night and just needed a parking spot and not a campsite. Thankfully, hiker parking was only about 50% full, and I backed into a nice spot really close to the trailhead.

Camping - a Honda CR-V is the definition of “compact SUV” which may make a few folks wonder how my 6′1″ frame can fit to car camp. If you slide both front seats all the way forward and put down the back seats there’s enough room for a twin mattress in the back which is just long enough for me to sleep on.

I spent some time organizing my pack for the hike, laying out my sleeping bag, and boiling water for some freeze dried beef stew.

I was so close to the trailhead that I had to check pack weight and was OK with my pack coming in at 15 pounds.

(that’s 8.81# of water (4l), 1# first aid kit (I could reduce that), 0.83# H2O filter, and about 1 1/2#’s for my pack (1.62# to be precise). That means there was 2 3/4# of food, sunscreen, trail meds and such. I’m not in shape to hike 20+ miles at altitude, so cutting down on pack weight helps a LOT!

Freeze dried beef stew? 10/10, perfection. Maybe one of the best freeze dried meals I’ve ever had even though it had been in my camping box for probably 5 years (or more).

After cleaning up a bit and popping up the sunroof for ventilation it was time to crawl in and try to get some rest.

Suprise, surprise, it was super comfy. I read for a bit and finally got tired enough to try and sleep. I was planning on a 2:30am wakeup and 3:00am start on the trail. Usually sleep is elusive and sounds from other campers and cars inhibits good rest but not this time. I was quite comfy and drifted off easily.

At about 1:45am I woke up feeling quite rested. Sure, I tried to go back to sleep for my 2:30am alarm, but I felt perfectly rested and decided after a few minutes to get on with the day.

The previous night I had setup my morning caffeine (mandatory) in the form of a mountain mocha. 2 starbucks Via instant coffees and a packet of hot chocolate (that had probably been in the camping box for 5+ years). After drinking that and consuming a banana it was time to hit the trail. At about 2:15am or 2:20am, under the light of a full moon, I hit the trail.

Even with the full moon I still needed my headlamp due to treecover and cliffs blocking the moonlight. At this point I kicked on the high beam for my headlamp and realized I’d made a mistake... When the high beam starts flashing it means batteries are low. Ooops. Looks like this hike will be under the weak light of low beam. Oh well. I usually carry extra batteries and never use them, so this was OK in my book. I just needed to be sure to be off the mountain before darkness fell at the end of the day.

Passing a few folks with fuller packs and trekking poles I was glad of two things - low pack weight and being able to focus solely on my pace. I was just cruising along knowing that I wasn’t in shape or trained for distance. I’m just stoopid enough to know how to suffer well.

I totally missed when I passed Lone Pine lake, just focusing on the trail ahead and taking frequent small sips of water from my Camelbak. For water I had my 3 liter reservoir and an additional 1 liter water bottle for a little more than a gallon on board. I like the additional 1 liter because I can use it if my reservoir hits empty between water stops.

The trail started dropping down which was a bit disconcerting. I know that the trail drops a couple hundred feet right before Outpost Camp, but I couldn’t be there yet. Turns out I was there! 2 easy hours on trail and the sign “Outpost Camp” was right in front of me. 3 1/2 miles in 2 hours is pretty pedestrian, but for me, at altitude, it’s a good pace.

I had the option to refill my water at Outpost Camp but did not need to and cruised straight through. Note to anyone thinking of doing an overnight trip on Whitney - don’t stay at Outpost Camp. It’s too low down the mountain and leaves way too much for day 2. Shoot for Trail Camp instead which is at 12,000′ and 2 1/2 miles further up the trail meaning 2 1/2 miles less to cover on summit day.

Leaving Outpost Camp I did my usual and got lost trying to find the trail. The moon was well past the mountain, providing no light, and my headlamp was pretty pathetic by then. I inadvertently looped in a big circle before stopping and using available clues - water sounds. Being color blind does not help when the trail is just a different shade of grey than surrounding dirt. No worries, after homing in on the waterfall sounds I picked up the trail again and started my relentless progress toward Trail Camp.

A word about the trail - it is a trail, but it’s also pretty difficult. Lots of rocks to step up on or over, all of different sizes and at random distances, so you have to really pay attention to foot placement and balance. You can’t get into a rhythm and just cruise along. It also saps a lot of energy.

At this point I realized that my balance was really bad. Normally above 10,000′ the altitude really hits me hard. This trip I didn’t have any problems with altitude sickness, but my equilibrium was TOAST! It was not fun stumbling around at points, and my right shin took the hit on an unforgiving granite rock. My right calf was also aching pretty steadily.

Before Trail Camp I passed a party of 3 guys, one of whom asked “are these the 99 switchbacks?” No, man. We need to get to Trail Camp first and THEN we get to do the switchbacks.

I think it took about an hour to get from Outpost Camp to Trail Camp at 12,039′. My water reservoir felt good plus I still had the 1 liter backup bottle, so instead of stopping to refill I cruised through Trail Camp and on to the 99 switchbacks.

The switchbacks run up the face of a cliff and are pretty tough. Lots of granite steps requiring good foot placement and working the legs with their random sizes from only a few inches tall to big steps at 2+’ tall. Plus they are above 12,000′ and the air definitely feels much less dense. It was about 1/3 of the way up the switchbacks that I took my first break just to catch my breath. I think it may have been the first time I ate. Stroopwafels are amazing...

Oh yeah, I never count the switchbacks. You’re either done with them or have more to go, so just keep moving.

About 2/3 of the way up I had been trudging along, head down, eyes on my feet placement for each step, with my boony hat blocking any view of the trail ahead. I stopped to get a Gu Chew out of my left hip belt pocket, which is much less accessible than my right hip belt pocket. It took some contortion, but I finally got them out and popped one into my mouth.

Sure, there are better packs for endurance activities that make it easy to access pockets, but I’ve had my Salomon pack for 23 years now, and it still works.

After chewing for a bit I looked up and jumped back in surprise! About 2 feet in front of me, sitting on a boulder just off the trail was and extremely pretty, very blonde, woman in her early 20′s. Where the hell had she come from????

She apologized for scaring me.

I apologized for stopping in her personal space.

I’ll be honest, it took me a few moments to decide she was real. It was really weird.

Oh well, onward and upward.

The water in my reservoir ran out just before Trail Crest (13,777′, 8.5 miles), so I stopped to put the water from my 1l bottle into the reservoir. I also looked down the trail to see if the mountain sprite was real, and she seemed to be.

After downing another stroopwafel and some Gu Chews (expensive gummi bears), I shouldered my pack and headed towards the summit. Thankfully I was still not feeling any signs of altitude sickness.

After Trail Crest there is some exposure to potentially long falls off of a cliff face, but the danger is pretty minimal. Well, except when a corner is exposed and still packed with snow. THAT got the pulse to spike a little, but soon the summit house was visible in the distance. Still a long way off but visible. Just keep moving.

At this point I was really feeling the effort and it’s about 14,000 feet in elevation making for slow hiking. I was able to catch a couple and then turn right up the summit dome. There’s not really much else to say other than - just keep walking, and then there’s the summit. 14,508′ (10.7 miles)

I think it took about 6 hours and 15 minutes to get to the summit which is a pretty good time for me, and maybe one of my fastest. Add in I’m doing no endurance training and feeling no altitude sickness and I was super stoked.

As usual. Take summit picture, eat, drink, relax, shoulder pack and start going back down. Yup, that’s about as exciting as it gets. I left the summit at 9:00am

The trip back down was uneventful. Saw a bunch of people heading up, so I stepped to the side and let them pass which gave me a few breaks. I do not appreciate the elevation lost just after Trail Crest on the way up because it’s elevation that needs to be gained on the way back and on a difficult section of trail, but it is what it is.

I cruised down the switchbacks and stopped in Trail Camp to filter water and refill my reservoir. It was nice to take a solid 15 minute break. Of course I ate another stroopwafel. Damn, those things are AMAZING!

My hands were so swollen with edema that it was a bit challening to pump the filter, but that’s why I don’t use trekking poles. My hands always puff up like cooked sausages and make it impossible to handle trekking polls. Plus, it’s one less thing to worry about. - the trekking poles, not my hands.

Back down the trail. Now I was tired, my legs were feeling the effort from the trail and constantly changing terrain. Just keep moving.

Down through Outpost Camp, by now it was 1pm, but it felt like it was 6 or 7pm due to my early start. Somehow, along the way, I got completely off trail and wound up on the shores of Lone Pine Lake which I had not even seen on my way up. I’m pretty sure this was another case of missing the trail due to blending colors and sunglasses, but I wasn’t worried. I could retrace steps or do a little bushwhacking which is what I did. After crossing a couple of creeks and doing some minimal bouldering I was back on trail and heading down.

After loosening up my watch a few times due to swelling, I saw that I had an outside chance of being done in 12 hours or so. Normally the trip down is a breeze compared to the trip up, but the trail conditions always limit my ability to make time on the descent.

About 1/2 mile from the end I saw a family, with young kids, having a picnic by the side of the trail. I took my eyes off the trail in order to say something nice to them about getting their kids out. Unfortunately, right then the trail dropped off by several feet which meant I landed solidly on my right foot and sent a serious jolt directly up my calf that hurt like HELL!

I limped the last 1/2 mile to the trailhead being very happy that it had occured so close to the end of the trail.

Something like 12 1/2 hours had elapsed, and a lot of those hours were exactly what I needed, time utterly devoid of anything other than focussing on the trail directly in front of me and where I needed to place my feet. Suffering has a way of distilling life down to its essence, and I’m very happy that I get to experience this when I choose to.

After that it was a 7 hour drive home. After a quick stop in Lone Pine for a full tank of gas, a coke, and a package of Oreo’s, I was on the road back to San Jose, arriving home at about 10:30pm.

The reopening of the Frick Collection as Frick Madison at the Breuer Building

The last time I was at the Frick was over a year and another era ago. A members-only strings-serenaded champagne soiree held in the mansion's befountained Romanesque Garden Court.

Little could I have known then that this would be my last visit to this stalwart sumptuous sanctuary for in-the-know New Yorkers for years to come, both because of the soon-to-drop COVID pandemic and the museum's two-year closure for renovations.

The art starvation that began with lockdowns and closures of innumerable galleries throughout the city, was partially alleviated by the Frick's genius weekly Friday night YouTube series, “Cocktails With A Curator” , where we got to not only get up close and personal with Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Fragonard, but also, thanks to Zoom, the stellar world-class collection's curators: granularly informative Deputy Director Xavier F. Salomon with his wardrobe of elegant dressing gowns, and the vivacious and historically contextualizing Associate Curator Aimee Ng and an endless variety of creative cocktails, many of which necessitated liquor store treasure hunts to gather all the components.

When it was announced late last year that the collection was being moved to the recently vacated Breuer Madison building (former home of the Whitney Museum, and briefly, as an annex for the Metropolitan), I was, like nearly everyone of the museum's stans, both delighted and trepidatious. Along with the Morgan Library, the Frick is one of my escapist fantasy homes-away-from-home. Those familiar with the stark, minimalist, almost industrial look and feel of the Breuer questioned the appropriateness of moving works that we were so accustomed to viewing in actual living wallpapered, carpeted, and chandeliered living quarters, amidst French Renaissance furnishings to what unkindly could be termed a warehouse.

Rather than the idiosyncratic arrangement of works in the late Gilded Age steel baron's manse, Frick Madison has placed them in galleries focused on specific regions and eras. The new dialog between the paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts places them in a more logical and informative manner. This new light also forces one to question their prior perceptions and even appreciations of certain works. Freed from busy backgrounds, the colors and textures really pop now.

Some beloved paintings now seem humbler in comparison with their new neighbors, who were perhaps slighted previously. Details emerge, like the weirdly elongated head, misaligned eyes and ears in El Greco's portrait of St. Jerome. The influence of the artist on Francis Bacon is now immediately apparent.

A religious painting that either I never saw before or passed by - forgive me father for I hate medieval Christian themes - struck me as amazing. In 'The Coronation of the Virgin' there is so much going on inside: a diadem of helter-skelter musicians, esoteric symbolism, obsessively intricate patterns.

One of the Frick's most recent acquisitions, a full-length life-size portrait by Gérard totally blew me away. Riffing on the title of one of the museum's recent publications, 'The Sleeve Should Be Illegal' - this painting should be illegal! The outrageously over-the-top attire of the subject, Prince Camillo Borghese, outdoes even Holbein's Cromwell for hyper-realistic fabric textures and jewelry iridescence.

The old context is more natural, if you like, as most of these were commissioned works, destined for the wall of a home or church, and this placement was very much in the artist's mind. We can think of this extended relocation as an airing out, like a visit to a spa. Being refreshed and renewed, how will the guests feel about their eventual re-acclimation? Will they experience the mixed feelings we all do on that last day of vacation, both missing the familiarity of home but feeling slightly depressed at having to give up the freedoms and delights experienced while away?
