THREAD: gallery opening
LONDON: Some hideously pretentious invite-only gallery opening.
Cambridge had only been here for thirty-two minutes but he had already passed judgement on every single piece of artwork in this predictably hip new Belgravia gallery. He had a remarkable amount of patience for emerging talent on the modern arts scene... but this was taking the piss. Half of the rubbish on display he wouldn't pay thirty pounds for, let alone thirty thousand. Overpriced and overestimated, he thought to himself as he swiftly downed his third glass of complimentary champagne and stared moodily at a soul-destroyingly pretentious painting of a naked woman straddling a minotaur labelled 'David Cameron' - It isn't even being ironic. Clasping his drained champagne glass in one hand he glanced about for a waiter. He'd need considerably more alcohol than he'd already imbibed to get through this night.
