PEPPER with my TEA
How is it that watercress became girly food? I don’t know either. Maybe it is all those images of little girls having tea paries with white gloves and pearls. The truth is watercress is tangy and peppery and worth of topping any burger you can imagine. Step across this estrogen / testosterone myth with this Call from a typically all female space. Take a chance…
Check out this Call for Entries from SOHO20 Gallery Chelsea for their 16th Annual Juried Exhibition in New York. This show gives you 5 entries for $35 instead of the standard 3, and this is a rare opportunity for men to exhibit in a space dedicated to female artists. Did I mention only 20% commission?
