REVEROL & CO. CONTEMPORARY ART OPENS IN DOWNTOWN NEW ROCHELLE NEW ROCHELLE, NY (December 7, 2012) – Reverol & Co., the first commercial, contemporary art gallery located in Downtown  New Rochelle,  will host its grand opening on Friday, December 7th at 6 pm. The opening exhibit will highlight the works  of six contemporary artists: Stephanie McMahon,  whose paintings reflect the immediacy of the moment  and expose the pensive act of creating an image that is  simultaneously raw, refined and fresh.

Tu ne serais pas très à l’aise hein ? Et bien voilà, Whiskybaba n’a pas honte de le dire : « L’autre mardi sur le plateau de France 2 pour le direct de la Grande Battle, on avait les chocottes ! » D’autant plus qu’on a passé toute la journée dans les studios, pour que la pression monte bien sûr, et qu’on a eu droit à des rebondissements dignes des plus grands films Hollywoodiens. Heure H-30min : Adib ne retrouve plus son pass donnant accès au plateau. Heure H-15min : E.d casse la branche de ses lunettes. Il faut trouver du scotch pour les réparer en urgence. Heure H-7min : Adib (encore lui !) s’enfuit en courant de la salle d’attente prétextant un 17ème passage aux toilettes. Heure H-3min : Momo, en raccord maquillage, se rend compte qu’il n’a pas récupéré son micro au st...
