Are you a Better BTA-er than a Third Grader?


Ok, there is so much goodness going on in this photo. First of all, look how Be That Art is spanning the generations! Young and old can find joy being that art. Secondly, besides the fact that Andie is doing a pretty darn good (I would've said "damn good" but chances are Andie will read this and then I'll get in trouble from her parents when Andie starts swearing around the house.) impression of Roger Federer, she's also BTA-ing while playing the part of a SUPER HERO. That alone scores young Andie an 8.5/10.

BUT....adult Megan thought she could out shine Andie's attempt here. Let's see if she can do it better.

Oh my. Megan has done really well here. I almost feel like Megan has won the US Open and not Roger. There is passion behind her BTA work here. I can't even really find anything to criticize. Oh wait, I can. Megan might have totally rocked being that art but unfortunately she is not wearing a super hero costume with faux abs. BTA score = 9.5/10.....minus 2 points for boring attire.
I guess you really can't out smart a third grader. Congrats Andie!


Kickin' it Old School!

The Place: Boboli Gardens, Florence, Italy
The Art: Some very posey dunce-capped men
The Poser: Flood Pant Miragh

Okay, so this was taken in 2003 when I didn't know the rule that short people needn't wear ankle pants. I should have had a party in my flip-flops and invited my pants down.
However, had I rolled them up below the knee I might have matched the sculptures a little better in their Renaissance-happy short pants. I'm also missing their signature smurf hat.
Okay okay you snobs, I'm also breaking every rule of BTA by interacting with the art, instead of being it. So there. It's a straight up failure. I just really wanted to get in on their action and find out what they were looking at!! Really, what could the missing third guy have been doing that warranted those expressions? Maybe it was a Renaissance girl flashing her wrist or shoulder or something risque.
Irregardless, I'm gonna throw me 3/10 points just for the BTA foresight. And also for my crew-neck sleeveless Roots t-shirt hoodie. That's right.
