Pieces of work: Art Basel celeb roundup, chapter 3

Quote :: Pop (Chips) Art: For those expecting any of the so-called celebrities to drop $30 million for a Rothko, consider this. After refusing swag including a thousand dollar pair of jeans and a Corum watch, actor Gerard Butler had only one request: Pop Chips.

never heard of them either

They can't be that prestigious.
My mother and I had them with our sandwich at a deli located in the hospital when my dad had surgery a few months ago.

BTW, they are good, and somewhat healthy. We liked them. They sell them at Whole Foods, but also Safeway and Target.

Besides a showcase for museum quality (and questionable) art, Vernissage also doubled as one big gay pickup joint, with nattily dressed hipsters checking each other out, looking for the next human Statue of David.
