Sweet + chic + subversive: the exciting #céline x #facetsmultimedia event at #neimanmarcus featured the fashion house's beautiful new line for the season, plus remarks about the free "teach-in" screenings at Facets Cinémathèque of classic films exploring totalitarianism and manipulation v freedom and transparency, such as #1984 and #afaceinthecrowd, which is a film I've been thinking about lately. It was also a pleasure to chat both lightly and seriously with new friends, while enjoying lovely sips and snacks including well-made macarons. ** Fun behind-the-scenes composition note: as I was selecting and arranging items to create this instagram (the color of the purse is Bubble!), the event's charming professional photographer came over, watched, and then waited to take the same shot after I did; open-source is the way! ** Here's to art, beauty, and deliciousness, motivating social connection, reflection, and change! #upliftthroughchocolate #resistancethroughchocolate (at Neiman Marcus)
