The Miracle &The Wonder of MJ

Yesterday, David, Joel, Evan & I paid our $20 each on spectacle like I've never seen. Adjacent to the Beverly Hills Hilton, a museum like display of personal belongings from the life and career of Michael Jackson is open to the public until next Tuesday. This was supposed to be an auction of his belongings, but he changed his mind and isn't selling it anymore, luckily we still got to go in and have our look-see. There was so much to take in, I went into overload, and tried to snap some shots of my favorites, but there was far too much insanity in there to begin to understand unless you go in person to take it in. Most of my favorites include commissioned paintings of himself in mythic themes, or with fantasy cartoon characters. I was also impressed by the fact that he owns the real sissor-hands from Edward Sissorhands, and also, Han Solo, incased in carbonite. What adds to the experience, is a dvd of a live concert being projected on the wall in the center display room, so as you wanded you have the sound of a screaming crowd all around you, and MJ making all his little signature "hee-hee" sounds at every turn. It was downright surreal, and I love living in LA when I get to see things like this.
















Cold-chillen' on MJ's tour bus with the guys. Who knew we'd ever get to experience the wonder.
The end of the display concludes with an outdoor walk through a collection of sculptures of children and mythical beasts that used to populate Neverland Ranch. Down right creepy.
