Ashley Longshore Gallery

I heard about a fun gallery in Soho that is a must see and headed downtown to check it out! Ashley Longshore is a NYC based artist known for her big, colorful, over-the-top pieces that mix pop culture, humor, and a little bit (okay, a lot) of attitude. It's like Any Warhol meets high fashion with a lot of sass and a side of glitter. 

The gallery is a neon-splashed, pop-art fever dream where subtlety does not exist. It is packed with her signature style—portraits of iconic women dripping in luxury, playful (and sometimes cheeky) texts, and enough sparkle to make a magpie jealous.
Some highlights for me:
✨ A massive painting of Ruth Bader Ginsburg decked out in jewels like the queen she was.
✨ Paintings of the queen, with a hearty side of sass.
✨ A giant orchid arm chair because, why not?
✨ The rainbow stairs. Think Judah will mind if I redo our staircase...?

The space is more like an experience than a gallery. It is bright, in-your-face, and very “take a selfie and make it your personality for a week.” The kind of place that makes you want to buy something impractical (not that I could afford any of these pieces, ever). Although, I really feel like I need a bejeweled RBG painting for my living room.

Shipping Up To Boston

We went up to Boston over the weekend for a bar mitzvah and it was fun to be back in The Bean and get to show Judah all my old haunts. It's always fun to see what has changed and what is still the same!
We enjoyed time in Brookline (with their colorful turkey statues!) and went downtown to see the Boston Public Library, the Make Way For Duckling ducks, and walk around Back Bay. I showed Judah the start and finish lines of the marathon (of course!). 

It was so good to be back with my friends and introduce more of them to Judah. It is insane to me that it's almost been 5 years since I moved out of Boston, time surely does fly!
