Marketing through internet memes, smart choice McNay Art Museum
Dear Photograph,Could she have known as she stood there, smiling in her doorway, one day she would create such a wonderful legacy? At her death in 1950, Mrs. McNay left her collection of more than 700 works of art, her home, and an endowment to establish the first museum of modern art in Texas. Today, we celebrate her generous spirit and wish our beloved founder,Marion Koogler McNay, a happy 129th birthday!

A SOLUTION: Years ago I attended a vogue-ing competition in Harlem. This was way back before Madonna popularized this mysterious subculture. As those of you who have seen the ’80s documentary Paris is Burning will be aware, these hilariously competitive events were structured around very specific categories: Executive Realness, First Time in Drag, Looking Like a Banshee Girl, etc.
