Chicago’s Millennium Park has this huge stainless steel sculpture by Anish Kapoor named Cloud Gate.
But everyone calls it “The Bean,” as well they should. I have a cousin who went by “Booger” his first 12 years. Because, you know…
I love “The Bean.”
I couldn’t get enough of it.
You can use it for checking your teeth, taking family portraits, and examining the front or back of the potentially attractive person you’re standing behind.
For a chance at a sick day, touch the smudgier parts of the surface. Then lick your fingers. Then pick your nose. Then rub your eyes. (You can do this in whatever order you’d like. Repeat as desired).
A bajillion tourists couldn’t be wrong.
I was one of them.
Yes, I know I need my hair did. My roots are blonde-brown, and I’m hanging out in dark places until my next appointment.
YAY! You went to the Bean! I looooooooove the Bean. Did you see the fountain @ Millenium Park too?
