Me - My topic for this month is Jack Hanna's Into the Wild Live. We recently had the opportunity to see Jack Hanna's wild animal show based on his TV show live at State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It was a really fun show! He showed a lot of different animals and told the audience about them. There was a cheetah. There was a penguin.There was an otter. There was a sloth. There were two different kinds of lemurs. There was also at least one other bird and some other animals too. He also showed videos. They were of wild animals in different places. There was also a video of ranch where they take in all kinds of animals with disabilities. The animals were all so cute both the live ones and the ones in the videos. It was a really good show. I really enjoyed it!

Mom - My topic for this month is the THNK 1994 Museum. In 2015, Matt Harkins and Viviana Olen opened a museum in the hallway of their Brooklyn apartment dedicated to the Olympic rivarlry between Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan in 1994 that resulted in Nancy Kerrigan's being clubbed in the knee in a scheme cooked up by Tanya Harding's ex-husband to literally knock her out of the competition. Unless you were living under a rock, if you were alive during that time, you probably remember the story. It has been very much in the news again in recent years especially with the release last year of the movie I, Tanya which was nominated for numerous Academy Awards and won one for Alison Janney's portrayal of Tanya's mother.
The little museum soon outgrew its hallway location, and Matt and Viviana opened an actual museum. In addition to the THNK 1994 exhibit, other exhibitions at this unusual museum included Anna Wintour Doublecrossing Her Legs, The Fantasy of Celebrity Perfume, and Olsen Twins Hiding From the Paparazzi. Recently a retrospective of the museum was held in midtown Manhattan over the period of one weekend. It included numerous items from the THNK 1994 collection including drawings,painting, and needlepoints of Tanya Harding and /or Nancy Kerrigan, Wheaties boxes with Tanya Harding's picture on them and more. It also included items from other exhibits held at the museum including paintings of Anna Wintour and a display of numerous celebrity perfume bottles. There were also items related to the museum for sale at the retrospective.
While the formal museum has been closed, Matt and Viviana will still be doing pop-up exhibits. For more about the THNK 1994 museum, to learn where to follow to find out about upcoming pop-exhibits or to purchase items from the collection, visit www.thnk1994.com.
And that's our view. What's on your mind?
Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.
