NEW YORK AGENDA: Cultivate Your Passion
Nowadays in books and plays, it's just a theatrical fashion but I haven't a moment to cultivate a
passion. Well, look at my Mondays---an average day--the glee club, the Met, the Y.M.C.A. The
Goldscheider ceramics, my dear I near panic. I frequently lecture, with slides and I'm
Colonel-in-Chief of the guides. So with this and the that, and my poodle, you see, my life is as full
as a woman's can be. Here's the scoop!!!
Whoever heard of Goldscheider in the first place? Well, indulge your passion for culture,
here's your chance to see the beautiful ceramic statues of l920's Art Deco women lent for display
by Kathryn Hausman, president of ADSNY New York's Art Deco Society. Rendered in exquisite
colors and costumes the statues reflect the history of an age when the Goldscheider Manufactory
was the leading international ceramics producer in Paris, Vienna and Florence. Till April 7th. Mon.
to Thur: 9:30-5pm, Sun: ll-5pm. Information or to join ADSNY: kathyhausman@artdeco.org.
Just when I was trying to keep it mum Barbie has the nerve to reveal her age. Yes, she's a hot
50 and still wearing miniskirts and driving a corvette and let me "dish the dirt," she just had her lst
ever FASHION WEEK SHOW under the white tents in Bryant Park. All the Barbie cognoscenti
were there, but where were You? Bloomingdale's has it all: the 10 windows dressed in her honor,
the second floor Barbie boutique with "Collectible Dolls" accessories and apparel, and the third
floor with the largest display of vintage Barbie dolls ever. Bloomies is blooming with Barbies till
Feb. 22. At the 59th Street and Lexington Avenue store. www.bloomingdales.org. or 212.705.2000.
Feel your passion; stamp your feet the annual Flamenco Festival has stampeded into town
with artists from Andalusia, Spain including the famous Isabel Bayon Company. A celebrated
Flamenco dancer Bayon was accompanied by the voices of soulfully wailing, the most profound
expression in the "cante jondo" deep song, clapping hands and pounding feet to the Spanish
rhythms of the onstage musicians. The Antonio Gades Company performs "Carmen" at City
Center on Thurs. Feb. 19th at 7:30pm and Friday Feb. 20th at 8pm. OLE!!! At West 55th St.,
between 6th and 7th Avenue. www.flemencofestival.org or www.worldmusicinstitute.org.
Light up your imagination and visit the Cooper-Hewitt where the exhibit "Lighting New York,
1895-1946" sheds some illumination on the Edward F. Caldwell Company, the premiere designer
and manufacturer of electric light fixtures and decorative metalwork from the late l9th to the
mid-20th centuries. On Sat. Feb. 28th Margaret Caldwell, the great granddaughter of Caldwell will
talk about he firm's craftsmanship and the importance of the decorative arts world. It's so artsy
let's take a spin over to 2 East 91st St. www.cooperhewittmuseum.org.
Well, TA Ta my darlings, while the upper-class spend the day in their pyjamas, I'm busy as a
bee, as you can see. Tune in next week and remember you heard all about it in PollyTalk on the
Big Apple News Network. Only in New York my friends, Only in New York. I'd love to hear from you.
