I went to Vegas for a second time recently and fell in love with the architecture of the Excalibur hotel. We NEED more modern castles. Seeing this everyday for a week gave me hope that magic is real. I felt like a princess standing outside of it who was going to witness a wizard and a dragon battling in the streets.
I even bought a pin from a vintage shop in the arts district that showcased the colorful castle tops so I could take the magic back home with me.
Feels like a freaking castle but it’s actually nyc??? I’ve been here more times than the real met. Love walking around thinking about the devotion that motivated these people to make such beautiful art. Also the most lovely gardens.
Because it’s mysterious, imposing, pagan, and ancient. You can see it from the highway when you drive by but I recommend getting a ticket and walking around it to get all the angles.
so you can hear the mail lady crash out on a speakerphone call. “You dumb motherfucker, that’s NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!!!” Pulled off the mail truck mad as hell too.
