I was there at the opening...saw gypsy and pm (they both looked quite stunning!)...The music was incredible, the fireworks were astounding and set TO the music...such a lovely evening to celebrate the opening of the museum.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Waiting fer a bus around that time and everyone in the area was looking at the Soffitel building thinking there maybe an explosion or something nearby. Well it gets louder each minute and all the people thought the 'explosions' gets near and near. A lil panic for the people around there. I too was curious what the hell was that but then I saw a reflection of the fireworks display on a window of a hotel besides Soffitel and thought 'Oh! It was the MOIA opening.'
I liked the people's 'behaviour' at that time in that place. :-P

Awesome. Gypsy is there too! She must be having a ball!
