You should have done the sit in at Mary Boone, you scaredy cat! Ya big woose!

A week later I was in London, visiting my adorable wee nephew Kenzie.

Needless to say he was not impressed at my half assed commitment to the global world struggle.

"You are not supposed to be on my case about this type of thing, you are two years old. What about hi Aunty Princess, thanks for my new Richard Scary book, Go Cat Go. Or you look so very beautiful most adored Auntie, I have missed you painfully every second of every day, thank goodness you are back on London soil. Not even a hello do I get? Wee sis, must you disparage me to a two year old. His criticism is most wounding. All the gallery hopping had tired us out. A cup of tea was unanimously agreed upon to be the best course of action after seeing Debuffet and Ai Wei Wei in one go. One must absorb the art."

Here I am smiling at my new Self , Political Blogger Extraordinaire

We can do an Occupy Mary Boone Gallery Chelsea Sit in. We will not budge at 6pm when the gallery is supposed to shut, all the global news will be about us and Ai Wei Wei will thank us for making his art piece even more famous. Together we will put our tongue out at the Chinese government.
Gosh, I hope they don't put me in a Chinese prison, I hear they have no wifi, the curtains don't match and the menu is unsuitable for vegetarians.
Gulp!

"Cup of tea," said Aileen.
"I thought you'd never ask." I replied. So out we trooped at 5.35pm , a good half hour before closing time.
Ah well so I won't be making the news with my gallery sit in. Good to know my limitations. I will just have to leave the hard core radical stuff to the experts.

I hope Ai Wei Wei is not too disappointed. Damien Hirst is probably relieved , he would have wanted the sit in at the Gagosian no doubt. Except the Dots are not meant to suggest oppressed people so that would not have worked.

As a group the sunflower seeds looked very much like a large assemblage of sunflower seeds.

"Oh," I said,"of course I deeply resonate with the message here, I totally get it. Brilliant , Ai Wei Wei does it again, he never disappoints."

They were quite beautiful just as they were, but now that the guard had told us the whole in depth biting political message, the piece was transformed to something radical and exciting.

Ai Wei Wei said himself, "There are no sports greater than throwing stones at a dictatorship," now he could change that to "throwing sunflower seeds at a dictatorship". Nice.

He continues," ... or as exciting as the gang-fight style of the digital world."

This blog counts, here I am a humble Scottish Princess of poor Glaswegian origins, taking up the cause of the million oppressed Chinese right here in this blog, doing my bit in the " gang-fight style of the digital world."

Oh boy, who needs guys when you can join ranks with Ai Wei Wei, world class artist! Boy did I feel good about myself.

I reached down to the floor

Were the sunflower seeds edible? I was about to touch one , when the guard rushed over and said, "Eh, Do not touch, eat or spit out the art. Back off Missus."

He must have had some Israelis visiting the gallery. They are big eaters of sunflower seeds and drop the shells everywhere.

"These sunflower seeds are individually carved in precious materials by individually oppressed folk from China. As a group they represented the united downtrodden people of China. This art is made by The 99%. This Sunflower Seed piece makes a very important political statement . Didn't you read the one page description sheet?"

And so we gallery hopped to Mary Boone for Ai Wei Wei Sunflowers

This was the climax show for me. Thousands of sunflowers laid out on a big square.
