Margaret Thatcher: we disliked her and we loved it

I own that, in my politics-free childhood, I adored Margaret Thatcher, or the unknown feminist idea of her, but for the fact that she was a woman leader, and the Spice Girls iconized her Girl Power. 

As I grew up to foreign writers like Francis Wheen and Martin Amis, I was able to cut through popular notions and into the angry satire of her, which was not just for the enjoyment of enlightened Britons but for a less greedy world that found her ambitions absurd.

Second panoramic photo by Abram is actually at P.F. Chang, a new resto in global city that was open evening of Black Friday. We ordered the Great Wall of Chocolate and, I dunner, some dessert dumplings with chocolate dip, pictured lowest right (Photo: Abram Serrano)

"Urban" penitence

I see they call Seda an “urban lifestyle hotel.” I call it a “staycavation” (staycation + cave), where my family escaped from the arid cityscape of holy week. Shops and restaurants were closed; Claw Daddy and New Orleans at BGC were the last bastions of decadence, offering terrasse views of self-imposed suffering a la Jesus Christ. You can sip a cocktail while watching believers take up their polished black crosses. 

Seda planted a life-sized wire giraffe by the glass back entrance, and this earns the boutique hotel   urban lifestyle hotel eternal redemption for me. Also, props for opening doors to us sinners during Holy Week, and for letting us wash our feet in the swimming pool, which had a gorgeous layout. 

I’m not sure Seda wants to be known for its food. It keeps chasing gustatory dreams away by marketing its proximity to BGC. And unlike most hotels with bustling buffet labyrinths, it had no culinary presence. We ordered some desserts (I’m pretty sure it was by accident we came to know they had food): a blueberry cheesecake that’s only faintly like the blueberry cheesecakes we know, gelatinous and could-have-been panna cotta. And a tiramisu cradled in what seemed to me a soap dish lined with instant coffee. 

The rooms are not carpeted wall-to-wall so do be careful about tripping on carpet edges. 

The best way to enjoy Seda is to indulge in HBO’s spirituality: an LOTR marathon while buried in heavenly clouds of bed linen. Seda is where the sinners go when hell is an empty city.

Christian Guémy aka C215 (France) - K-Live festival, Sète, France (2012)

C215, real name Christian Guémy, is a French street artist hailing from Paris who has been described as “France’s answer to Banksy”. C215 primarily uses stencils to produce his art. His first stencil work was put up in 2006, but he has been a graffiti artist for (as of 2011) over 20 years. His work consists mainly of close up portraits of people. C215’s subjects are typically those such as beggars, homeless people, refugees, street kids and the elderly. The rationale behind this choice of subject is to draw attention to those that society has forgotten about. C215 is a prolific street artist and has practiced his art in cities all over the world. Guémy’s daughter Nina is a popular subject of his stencil art. She has also become a stencil artist in her own right. (cf. Wikipedia)
