They did it again! and from the research this is the 4th year of it ( guess I missed the first ones)
Welcome to Expand your Reality!
Refinery 29 best known as “ the modern woman's destination for how to live a stylish, well-rounded life.” took over a raw space over in Brooklyn and got us all to get on the subway with a fully charged phones ready to strike a pose ( or 29 plus to get the right shot).
I am being silly but for me it is way more interesting to see the social impact that this one GENIUS idea has created. You realize as a result of what they did last year we now have Canndytopia, the ice cream museum back at the start of summer and who knows what’s next.
First off it is competitive to even get the tickets. My friend set a timer on her phone and was texting me cause she was at work and could not get in so it was my friend duty to get them. That was stressful! My point is there is no sign of this slowing down soon. And there is no lack of interest to go somewhere PAY for tickets and entertain yourself and others actually taking endless selfies. I am impresses and somewhat like, “ really now “ am I missing something? I guess for the introverted extrovert I need maybe some liquid courage or to have a purpose.
Enough of the blah blah blah.
This is cute, and even if you are jaded it is great people watching and worth the ticket to watch people litterly drive who ever accompanied them crazy to get “the SHOT”. Like God help us funny.
What to know …. there will be lines, they will go fairly quickly, plan out what pose you want to do, or antics you want to boomerang. They actually have a map and website so you can do some advanced planning ( I have not over thought something this much since we went to Disney when I was 12) NO joke!
The rooms are immersive and interactive of culture, art, and creativity, inspiring reflection and activism. They are the envisions of collaborators:
Logan Browning, Yara Shahidi, Kali Uchis, Nicole Ritchie, Rupi Kaur, ACLU, Unity in color, The hoodwitch, Egle Zvirblyte, jose A Roda, Aaron Taylor Kuffner, Shawna X, Cocovan, Magenta Field, Whispering Lodge. I added a link to all the artist so you can do your own investigation, they are all cool in their own respect.
Let loose for 3 hours my super fashionable friend came armed with props and her own outfit changes. I Love her for that ( you know who you are wink ). This was a brilliant idea because after say 8 rooms of poses you start to feel like Tyra Banks when she judges Top model you start to say hummm I really only see 3 looks from you can you give me more, tell me a story with those eyes. LOL really you start to see what your best side is.
The rooms are entertaining better summed up with well pictures. So bear with me but they will explain more. And thank you Refinery 29 for giving us this social trend! I look forward to what will be unlocked next year!
