 Lauren Pazzaneze is a frank critic of art and pop culture, with an MA in Arts Administration and BFA in Media and Performing Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She has spent the past 5 years experiencing the arts as much as writing about them, including stints on the runway at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, attending gallery openings and film festivals, interviewing the leading minds in the museum world and taking to task those who hide behind convoluted artspeak in an attempt to alienate the masses, rather than include them. A perfect night for Lauren is a walk through the Boston MFA, with wine in one hand, and a good friend in the other. If you have a Boston art gallery, museum exhibit or cultural event you would like covered on AskMissA.com, please contact Lauren at pazzaneze@gmail.com.

So what better than a celebration of space and the moon at the Planetarium?! It’s fun, the Planetarium is shiny and new (recently undergoing [...] 
We all heard the rumors, and we all saw the final episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien with a tiny tear in our eyes. Let’s face it: Conan O’Brien is a national treasure. You are never unhappy to hear about him, he never ceases to make us laugh even on our worst day, [...] 
As if you needed another reason to get to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts this Spring, they are hosting a full gamut of films, exhibitions, talks and more – and I plan on seeing a great number of them (as should you) – here is another: The premiere of the acclaimed film The [...] 
Garfield and Friends. Image courtesy Jim Davis. Ah, Sunday morning. A time when you attempt to make brunch. A time where we realize we have one more day in our weekend and decide to either stay in our pajamas and watch Oprah: 25th Season Behind the Scenes marathons all day or actually make [...] 
Get into the groove. Everybody dance now! It’s time for Boston’s utterly unique, totally technical Together: Music, Art and Technology Festival. Like Stefan says it’s got everything: there are more than 35 live concerts, parties, discussion panels, tech demonstrations and art installations. Far as I know there will be no bouncers in old-timey bathing [...] 
Is there anything sweeter in life than childhood camp memories? What about CupcakeCamp memories? CupcakeCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and eat cupcakes in an open environment. Learn more about CupcakeCamps around the globe atwww.cupcakecamp.org. If I remember correctly, my summer camp wasn’t smothered in frosting and [...]
