Banksy exhibit in LA
I attended Banksy's Barely Legal exhibit in LA. Banksy is an underground graffit artist and prankster, based in the UK. He is so stealth that he didn't even attend his exhibit and nobody knows what he looks like.
The highlight was clearly the painted elephant in the living room. In addition to looking quite fashionable (though blending in with the wallpaper), the elephant seemed happy, eating gummy bears and hay through the afternoon.
(Animal protesters were unhappy about this, so the security around the elephant was high).
Another highlight was Banksy's practical joke where he replaced his own mock copies of Paris Hilton's new album in the stores.
The exhibit was well attended by people in the know in Hollywood. We saw McCauley Caulken and Christina Aguilerra at the event. Apparently Angelina Jolie was there the night before.
Sean Bonner wrote a blog entry about the Banksy event, revealing the location which up until then was a secret.
