Visuals Archives - Cherry and the Hoot

Located in Downtown Los Angeles, you can visit this uniquely designed museum and all of the creative art displayed by talented artists. The Broad is a beautiful place for those who love contemporary art like me and quite impressive. When my sister and I visited, we almost could not enter due to the museum hosting an exclusive exhibition that required tickets. Fortunately, we knew nothing about the reservation list giving us access to explore the “Free Admission” floor of art. I’m assuming the difference between the two areas; the exclusive exhibitions are specifically theme-based and last for a seasonal period. While the top floor is distinctively randomized and free of a theme. Either way, if you’re ever in the area and love dope pieces of art- check it out.

Museum of Selfies- Los Angeles, CA

August 21, 2020August 21, 2020 Cherry and the Hoot

Today we live in a “selfie queen” era. When you see a large variety of your followers’ photos on social media, nine times out of ten, they were taken in selfie-mode. For sure, most of my portraits are because I’m a camera freak and I love capturing memorable moments. When taking selfies you can see exactly what you’re capturing- the lighting, those “popping” angles, if anything is between your teeth, your hair sticking up, and much more. Pretty sure that’s why most prefer selfie-mode.

The Museum of Selfies can be found in the Hollywood tourist area of Los Angeles, California. It is also where the Hollywood Walk of Fame is located. I knew immediately I was going to love this place before I could visit. My sister and I went on a great day because there wasn’t much traffic inside of the museum. Minimum traffic equals extra time to capture the perfect selfie. Haha! We were able to freely explore the museum without other visitors rushing us. Overall, the entire museum is a fun-filled, creative, and cool place, plus it is suitable for all ages to enjoy. My favorite part was the pool filled with emoji balls. It reminded me that I’m still a big kid at heart, and I’m not ashamed to admit that.

Long story short, if you’re ever in Los Angeles and you love taking selfies, add this museum to your itinerary. Be sure to go selfie crazy!

White Sands National Park- Alamogordo, NM

July 5, 2020August 4, 2022 Cherry and the Hoot

Visiting and exploring New Mexico was pretty interesting. My aunt took me all over the whole city of Alamogordo and it had a lot of nice places to see. White Sands National Monument (before they switched it to Park) was probably one my favorite places to visit. I referred to it as, “The Beach With No Water” because that is literally what it reminded me of. There was nothing but cool waves of sand dunes throughout the entire park. Entering the park I was not sure what to expect but the deeper we drove, the less vegetation and I felt like we were somewhere in the Middle East- just no camels or the excessive heat. No, I’ve never been but I assume that’s how it would be based on pictures and movies.

Overall the park is a, “must-see” so add it to your bucket-lists because my description, pictures, and videos, give no justice!

*A small fact, the sand isn’t our ordinary “sand”, it is actually a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate called gypsum. You could always research elsewhere to find out more information- I stick to the basics.

Venice Beach- Los Angeles, CA

June 28, 2020September 17, 2026 Cherry and the Hoot

Venice Beach can be a “hit or miss.” I’ve visited a couple of times, and each time I’ve fallen in love with the atmosphere in general. Although, there is a crap ton of homelessness- the best part about the beach is seeing all of the crafty artists selling their creations and artwork along the strip. The random graffiti and murals are also super dope, so I tried to get as many pictures as possible. Plus, I can not forget to mention the beautiful palm trees! Minus all of the homelessness and tagging, Venice reminds me of the Virginia Beach strip back home.

Check out some of the dopeness I captured:
