Liberace Costume Exhibition at The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas


Liberace has had somewhat of a homecoming to Las Vegas, through his costumes, which are being shown at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas in an exhibition entitled:  Too Much of a Good Thing is Wonderful - Liberace and the Art of Costume. 



His rhinestone encrusted piano, featured at the top of this post, is there, along with many costumes from different periods in Liberace's career: 


Enjoy the glitter!



You soon get the impression that Liberace hit the nail on the head with this quote:












The exhibition is open 3-10pm each day (you won't miss it because it is at street level), and it is free.

Hi Gaye!
It's just as I remembered it except I saw the Piano and the Costumes at the Liberace Museum in Vega. He was quite a character that's for sure. I once had a Liberace cookbook but someone borrowed it and I never got it back...I should look for another.

Thanks for sharing these GREAT shots, Gaye. Have a wonderful time in the US and take lots of pictures, lol...

Wasn't Liberace just the most over the top person ever?? All these costumes and his routines, etc. I think maybe the next closest person would be Freddy Mercury, the ultimate performer as well! Oh, how I miss Freddy!

Blue Mountains NSW, Australia - Part 1

Image
If you watch the news at all, wherever you may be in the world, you will know that Australia is in the middle of  devastating bushfire season.  Australia suffers bushfires at least somewhere every year, but this year is different because of the number of locations  and sheer size of the areas affected.  It will take years (if ever) for the affected areas to fully recover.  Many people and animals have lost their lives, many more have been severely injured or lost everything they owned. There are also knock-on effects beyond the affected regions, including economic impact and the effects of smoke pollution.  New South Wales is one of the states badly hit by bushfires, from the north to the south.  In the first week of November 2019, I spent a lovely week travelling through various regions of New South Wales, at least some of which will now have been burnt out. I think it is a fitting time to celebrate the beauty of these regions by po...

Holiday in the South Island of New Zealand - Dec 07/Jan 08

Image
Aahhh, holidays! Cakelaw set off for Christmas holidays in the South Island of New Zealand with her mother and brother in late December. However, it was a very bumpy start. Our flight to Christchurch as delayed for 6 hours, and until the 11th hour, we were not given any promises that the plane would be leaving at all that night. The general malaise and despair among my fellow passengers can be clearly seen in the following photograph: However, our 5.30pm flight finally left Brisbane Airport at 11.30pm, and we arrived in Christchurch the next morning at around 6am (NZ time). Below is a photo of the welcome sign in the international terminal of Christchurch airport, listing Christchurch's sister cities around the world: Our "home" in Christchurch was the Holiday Inn on Avon in Oxford Terrace. It is situated about 10 minutes walk from the centre of town, but is in a lovely setting by the Avon River, and as Christchurch and the province of Canterbury, in which it is situated,...

Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum, Faulconbridge, NSW

Image
We recently visited the Normal Lindsay Gallery and Museum in Faulconbridge, New South Wales.  It is quite easy to get there during the week (Monday to Friday) without a car by taking the train from Central Station in Sydney to Springwood (on the Blue Mountains Line), then catching the 960C bus at 10.50am from The Hippy Shop across the road from the railway station.  You can get back the same way by catching the 2.50pm bus back to Springwood from the gallery. Norman Lindsay and his second wife, Rose, lived in the house, which is now the cornerstone of the gallery.  It is filled with Norman Lindsay's watercolours, model ships, oil paintings, vases and currently, a Magic Pudding Exhibition to mark the 100th anniversary of publication of Norman's children's book, The Magic Pudding .  The exhibition features sketches, movie and theatre posters, marionettes and versions of The Magic Pudding published in different languages. You can also peek at the kitchen largely ...
