Stella's Roar. Hedonism: A devotion to the pleasures of the senses.

I do love Klimt and the whole art nouveau-jugenstile aesthetic. Very sensuous and sexy.

may I please have one of those wonderful bars?

I must tell you a story. When I was in Brussels for the first time I decided to go to the Palais Stoclet..a grand palace where the most famous Klimt's works are kept (just remember than one of the last Klimt's works - and not one of the best - when to auction for 135 million dollars).

I went there and could not find the entrance so I decided to try to jump the fences (silly me). It is still a private house owned by the Stoclet family so they called the police.

The police arrived (in less than 5 minutes) and explained me that the house is open to public only once a year by the King's order. I explained that I was an Art historian and a gave my family name so everything went well...and I had the chance to see the house privately...

I still keep a photo of the moment the police got me in my library as a souvenir...
