I chose to review a painting for my art review. I went to the Baltimore Museum of Art on October 1. I chose to focus on two pieces of art by Claude Monet in the Modern Art wing. The Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight effect with Smoke, 1903, and Charing Cross Bridge, Reflections on Thames, 1901.

So put on that Blue Steel and read on the first part of "15 things you didn't know about Zoolander." Number 1: Derek Zoolander …
