In honor of my recent visit to see the works of Salvador Dali in Atlanta at the High Museum of Art, I have compiled a few of my favorite quirky things.
So as Julie Andrews says in The Sound of Music, "Here are a few of my favorite [quirky] things:"
Fav Quirky Artist - Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali, a Surrealist painter during the Atomic Age, is best known for his moustache and his painting of melting clocks. His use of unique paintbrushes (including such things as french bread and an octopus) for his series of Don Quixote paintings earn him a spot on my list.
Fav Quirky Movie - Amelie
Life wouldn't be complete without watching this fabulous tale of Amelie Poulain, a young woman living in Paris. I won't spoil the story except to say the story involves gnomes, photo booths and love (all of which are quirky in their own right). If that isn't enough convincing, Rotten Tomatoes gives the movie a 90% on the tomatometer.
Fav Quirky Website - Is it Christmas?
Fav Quirky Holiday - Shark Week
Who came up with this idea? It's brillant. There's something just so fascinating about sharks. Especially when they adorn buildings, pedicabs and cupcakes (all items that can and should be used to celebrate the Week). For extra reading (fun reading, I promise), check out this post I wrote during the 2010 Shark Week holiday extravaganza.
