#i come at this with no agenda no not at all i definitely haven't written countless letters to MPs trying to save a similar museum no.... #there's no reason i am tagging this #powerhouse museum #i could be thinking about any #museum #like #questacon #or the #Museum of Science and Industry #or maybe im thinking of #London Science Museum #it could be any #technology museum #or #science museum #It's going to be the Tumblr #Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences #and we will never let a CEO earn half a million a year while she denies funds for essential maintenance and strips out educational content #if i had more spots i would have added in one for the history of communications exhibit and #the Emergence of AI exhibit the old founding director proposed but as you can tell #i am very much grinding an axe right now

“The duality between being a woman and a warrior.”

This is how Thierry Mugler described the emphasis given to his collaboration with Beyoncé on the “I Am… “ World Tour, which began #OnThisDay March 26, 2009 with a performance in Edmonton, Canada. As a creative adviser for the tour, Mugler worked on several visual aspects including lighting, sets, choreography, and costumes, including the gold, jewel-encrusted bodysuit, shown here, which was based on a look originally in white, shown at his Spring/Summer 1998 haute couture collection, titled “Jeu de Paume”.

Between the performance sets, video interludes, and promotional materials, over 71 Mugler pieces were worn; of those, Beyoncé wore 10 “very elaborate” Mugler ensembles. In total, this tour consisted of 110 concerts performed across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.  

Do you think we can expect to see the most Grammy-decorated artist in Mugler (designed by current creative director Casey Cadwallader) during the Renaissance World Tour that kicks off in just a few weeks?

Museum AU (snippet)

Lucy Chen was angry. At HIM. Again.

“Is this really necessary?” she crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Tim Bradford, Head of Security.

He gave her an annoyed look in response.

“Listen, Chen. I do an important job here. Not all of us can make a living out of painting pictures of naked men.”

Lucy rolled her eyes. He knew damn well that wasn’t what her job was (she was actually an art teacher who worked in museum education). But ever since he had confiscated her flyers, looking for nude models for an art class, he made fun of her. Her co-worker Rachel had commented that it was a shame Tim Bradford didn’t volunteer because he was quote “fine as hell”. Lucy did absolutely not think about him naked after that, ever.

“What’s going on?” that was Angela Lopez who worked with Tim in security and from Lucy’s experience so far she was actually nice. Although, she looked pretty intimidating right now.

“I couldn’t get into the museum because my access card doesn’t work. Mr. super cop over there”, Lucy made an annoyed pointing gesture with her head in Tim’s direction, “pretends he doesn’t know who I am and sticks to protocol.”

Angela looked between them for a second. And Lucy could swear there was a gleam in her eye. “He called the cops on you?”

“I did not call the cops!”, Tim sounded exasperated. “I simply have to manually check her ID to make sure she actually works here”.

“You KNOW I work here”, Lucy said through gritted teeth.

Angela definitely had a gleam in her eye.

“Bradford”, Nyla Harper’s voice, laced with authority, came from accross the entrance hall. “You had your fun, now let her through”. Nyla was the co-head of security and Lucy loved her because she usually treated Tim like an annoying little brother.

Tim ignored Nyla. But after making a show out of looking closely at Lucy’s face and afterwards at her ID photo, he gave it back to her and let her pass. Angela promised she would be in touch as soon as they found out what was going on with her card.

“Ugh, he is the WORST”, Lucy was still angry when she entered the office which she shared with Rachel and Tamara, her roommate and intern.

“Tim again?”, Rachel asked and exchanged a meaningful glance with Tamara which Lucy choose to ignore.

“Why does he have to annoy me all of the time?”

“Are you sure that is what he does?” Tamara sounded amused.

“What are you implying?”

“I don’t know... I always thought he is kinda flirting with you?”

Lucy tried not to blush but failed. “He is not!”

She heard Tamara whisper “sure” under her breath and choose to ignore that, too.

The truth was Lucy had no idea what exactly she and Tim had going on. Sometimes she thought there might be something flirty there - especially after Nyla’s wedding last year when he had asked her to dance with him and actually smiled at her.

From the start she had not been intimidated by his tough exterior but seen it as a challenge. Sometimes she was extra cheerful whenever she intercated with him and in return he pretended to be annoyed by that. They had played pranks on each other, starting with Lucy stealing his money from him after he had lectured her about keeping her backpack in an “unsecure place” while she led a group of kindergartners through the museum (she had left her backpack in the break room like everyone else).

Sometimes they do share intimate stuff with each other, too. For example when Lucy had found out about Tim’s wife, Isabel, a former employee at the service desk who had been fired when she, repeatedly, came to work high. After not seeing her for over a year, Tim caught her stealing money from the museum. He had tried to cover up for her. But Lucy had seen him and decided to talk him out of it. She told him that he would regret helping Isabel. He had been angry with her at the time. But the next day she saw him entering Grey’s office. The museum director was generally a kind employer but he had reported Isabel to the police after that.

In the almost two years that had passed since then, Lucy had absolutely not asked Angela about Isabel at one point and had totally not felt a fluttery feeling in her chest when Angela had told her that after Isabel’s return from rehab, she and Tim had decided to get divorced.

Last May, when Lucy’s abusive ex-boyfriend Caleb had tried to contact her again and Lucy had been scared, Tim had noticed and walked her home from work for a month after that.

When her best friend Jackson, a fashion model, had been in a car accident and Lucy couldn’t find out what was going on, it was Tim who called one of his cop friends for information and later drove her to the hospital.

So, Lucy knew that Tim was actually a good peson. He was generally liked among his co-workers, too. Angela and him seemed to be best friends even.

But still there were a lot of times when Lucy and Tim were at each others throats. Like when she had tried to recruit naked models for her adult art class: Tim had taken all of her flyers away and said they were against museum policy. Lucy knew he had made that up.

Or the time when Lucy was so angry at him because he thought about marrying his then girlfriend Ashley, although, she didn’t like his dog, Kojo? What was he thinking?

------

Tim Bradford watched as Lucy Chen finally walked towards the elevators. Maybe he had been a bit over the top this morning, of course he knew who she was and there actually wasn’t any protocol which forced him to double check her ID. But he always enjoyed ruffling her feathers a bit.

“Timothy, you do know that you are beeing pretty obvious, right?”

Tim spun around, giving Angela what he hoped was an outraged look.

Angela couldn’t stop a teasing smile from appearing on her lips. “Ohhh... you really do like her then.”

Tim closed his eyes and shook his head gathering all of his patience.

“Ang... please not this again, he started walking back towards their office next to the Museum’s gigantic wooden entrance doors.

Angela followed him. “Tim is in looove”

“Angela! Stop it.” He opened the door to the small room full of monitors showing surveillance footage.

Entering behind him Angela was about to say something when Tim let out a frustrated groan. ��I don’t want to talk about her, ok? Besides, she would never consider dating me.”

“Why are you so sure about that?”

“She knows about Isabel, ok? About what I almost did for her? How I couldn’t stop my wife from becoming a drug addict. How I was so bad at marriage that she choose to live on the street...”.

Angela stared at him for a moment. “So that is why you don’t ask her out? because you are ashamed of your divorce?”

Tim ignored her and sat down to go through his paperwork.

“Tim, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard”, Angela announced. “I am pretty sure Lucy is into you..”.

That caught Tim’s interest “Why would you say that?”

Angela rolled her eyes at him “I have told you this before you idiot: she asks me stuff about you sometimes.” Laughing quietly she added “she probbaly thinks she is low-key about it but she is really not.”

Tim thought about that for a minute. “Doesn’t matter she is dating that Chris guy from PR”. Tim said “Chris” with obvious distaste.

“No, they actually broke up a month ago”, none of them had realized that Smitty, the janitor, had stepped into the office.

“Smitty, do I wanna know how you found that out?” Angela asked carefully.

“I overheard her talking to Rachel”, Smitty revealed innocently.

“He still hasn’t ask her out, then?” Nyla appeared behind Smitty and Tim covered his face with his hands. Why was everyone involved in this?

“Oh, Timmy, don’t be sad”, Nyla gave him a playful clap on the shoulder.

“When you don’t ask her, I will...” Smitty couldn’t even finish his sentence before Angela and Nyla said in unison “No! Not again”.

Tim had enough. He walked past them, out of the building and took a deep breath on the sidewalk in front of Thorsen Art Museum.

I had the idea for this AU in my head for a while but I don’t have the patience or the time to write full fics (sorry ;)). But I wanted to bring it to life somehow. So here is a fraction of a Chenford Museum AU. I hope you enjoy this. Also I am sorry for any language mistakes.

Btw this is what I envision AU Lucy’s apartement to look like.

#chenford au #chenford #ok listen #nyla is gay in this AU #and she and her wife michaela have three kids #one boy and two girls #angela is married to wesley and he is a lawyer here too #jackson is a fashion model (bc he is so pretty) #and also lucys best friend #thorsen is a fancy artist #grey is the museum director #nolan? who is nolan? he doesn't exist (sorry) #maybe the museum is robbed at one point an dlucy and tim go undercover #as fancy art collectors and try to solve the case #but actually they are just idiots in love #anyways... none of this is completely thought through yet :D #lucy is an art teacher #but also an artist herself #and obviously tim is jealous and doesn't want her to draw naked guys :D #also i didn't know how to translate museumspädagogik #and hope museum education exists ;)

Me looking in terror at the amount of admin meetings on my calendar for tomorrow: I make less than 40,000 a year in this full time position

#I am an assistant manager #but also the living history coordinator #but also group sales coordinator #and also responsible for hiring and training my direct staff #but I don’t have a manager title for that I only get coordinator #so I don’t get any additional pay even though my position is 4 rolled into one #because we’re a nonprofit that is barely keeping its head above water in an absolutely buckwild period of executive transition #I’m trying to learn more about the financial side of my department so that in a year or so I can argue for a title change #from assistant manager of interpretation AND living history coordinator #to associate director for living history #because listen I might not have a lot of experience yet but I am a fast learner and the number one thing I know #about working for an organization in transition #is that that is the PRIME time to learn how everything works and plan your upward trajectory #especially with the trial by fire I’ve gone through #I’m very confident in this plan #anyway #it’s a nonprofit kinda day #museum musings

//hiiii dash thinking abt larry hours again :) my absolute favorite thing about most normal type gym leaders ( sorry cheren ) is that if you aren't like. Actually Prepared for them they Will beat your ass and I think it's SUCH a funny trend. no one crushes dreams like a normal type gym leader <3

#//they all really commit to the “normal” type as well and honestly good for them #//like the roster is as follows: a thirteen year old girl. Your Dad. a preschool teacher. a museum director. and an office worker. #//but like. if youre more or less prepared its usually fine. not that much of a challenge. #//but if youre NOT #out of character.

Fun info to look back on in light of the new Lagerfeld exhibition 👀😬

“...the director of the Metropolitan Museum canceled or indefinitely postponed its scheduled 1999 Chanel exhibition, apparently because of Karl Lagerfeld's persistent curatorial interference....Chanel then promptly canceled its planned US$1.5 million donation.

“Women's Wear Daily published an interview with Lagerfeld in which he complained that the museum was interested only in "an exhibit of a bunch of old clothes." According to The New York Times, the Metropolitan's director, Philippe de Montebello, found this "sadly ironic" in light of Lagerfeld's role in creating fashion for Chanel.”

Steele, Valerie. “Museum Quality: The Rise of the Fashion Exhibition.” Fashion Theory 12:1 (2008), 7-30, DOI: 10.2752/175174108X268127

#costume institute #valerie steele #chanel #karl lagerfeld #a line of beauty #fyi val steele is the director of the museum at FIT and basically the most famous fashion history curator internationally so it's hilarious #to see that she wrote this

|| @avaloniamagus liked for a starter

"I'm not in the mood to prepare coffee or anything for anyone right now, so don't even ask."

Short and to the point, with Elouan not even having to look up from the sketch he was working on to know who had entered. The scent of fresh flowers was far too telling.

Oh, well.

Sighing, he set the pencil down after finally finishing the details on the armor and turned his chair around to face Merlin. Restoring tapestries was a task he enjoyed, but recreating an approximation of the original on paper before touching the artifact was tedious. But necessary to avoid mistakes or damage.

"What brings you to my office? Usually something has to be wrong for anyone to come bother me."

#avaloniamagus #to you who will crown a king; elouan #the verse is up to your choice fjknhbdfsjs #elouan kind of can fit wherever since he's a museum director on top of being a mage #he's also grumpy even when working i'm sorry merlin
