MoPoP: Contact High Closing Party

I have been a MoPoP member for the last two years. I signed up to be get invites like this.. and yet Jan 5th, 2024 was actually the very first event that I have been able to attend.

I met the gorgeous MoPoP staff who facilitated the entire thing AND I GOT TO MEET THE LIVING LEGENDS THAT Created... this exhibit 📸

Exhibition Curator Vikki Tobak, Exhibition Creative Director Fab 5 Freddy, and photographer Janette Beckman.

I got to meet them all and express my deep appreciation. The most inspiring thing about the whole event???

THEIR HUMILITY

So inspiring and I was so so grateful
