Portrait of Gertrude Stein, by Picasso. Allegedly someone told Picasso that Gertrude did not like her portrait. Picasso replied, "She will." 334 of Picasso's works have been sold for over $1,000,000.
I love this stuff. Do you? Chocolate consuption caught my eye. We know how good it makes us feel. It's funny because today in Dallas, Texas it was very cold. My friend who works in a boutique convenience store told me that they sold a lot more chocolate stuff than usual. One man even came in and bought a Snickers and cup of hot chocolate, said "Terrible day. I'm going to sit out in my truck and chill."
