Thanksgiving entertainment

For the beginning of 'holiday '08' I ventured out onto the Brooklyn Bridge. Seems about time since I have lived here for 5 months and only live about an 8 minute walk from it. So here is my touristy photo tour of Thanksgiving. And for those of you who are aware of my fear of hights (which is large) I didn't make it all the way across.

The Magical Met..

I finally made it to the Metropolitan Museum for a little, much needed, inspiration and here is what I came back with.

Mr. Gregg Gillis

For anyone that doesn't know, there is a phenomenon sweaping the nation.. one that is Mr. Gregg Gillis and his meshing, genius, maddness; "Girl Talk". Last night was the second show at Terminal 5 in New York City, and past all of the 80's attire including headbands, flourestcent splatter paint and running shorts worn over colored tights, was this energetic king of his own bouncing, pulsing party. A proper way to end an otherwise boring weekend. xo.

Brooklyn

Ah, Brooklyn ..you never know what you will stumble upon while wandering around with your favorite four legged friend, drinking your morning coffee.

Washington

One of the things that I find the most inspiring about living in the city is the amazing amount of creativity that people display in the most random of places. It's like the city takes on a certain personal aspect that you don't get in smaller populated areas, people decorate it as they would their bedroom or community garden, showing off their talents and political viewpoints. This color, design and humor ...not to mention sometimes darkside to the everyday walk and wander really lend a brightness to a concrete filled environment

Bracelets and Bags

Since this blog has mostly been showing random photographs of my NY experiences over the last few months, I feel it is time for something different, so I am posting some photos of my bags and bracelets. These images were a combined effort of Mr. Mikey Groskreutz and myself, I did the creating and he did the photographing. Hope you enjoy. xo.

Manhattan Painted Sky

I got out of work late this evening, not all that uncommon, but the sky was cloud covered and lit up with moonlight ..demanding attention be paid to it, which for those of you familiar with NYC you know how rare it is for the sky to take the spot light. I took this shot at the corner of 6th and 40th, right across from Bryant Park. To me it really grabs the full essence of my walk home which was completely surreal ..dream like.

Sunday morning DUMBO

My relaxing day off this sunday was spent wandering around the DUMBO area in Brooklyn by my house with my camera and my dog...



These two I had Mr. Mikey G. in mind when I took them..

TR fahion show and beyond..

I haven't posted anything in awhile because I have fully dedicated myself to being a spoke on the wheel of NY fashion week and one of it's many marvelous fashion shows. For the last two weeks I have been working long hours at Tracy Reese getting ready for the show that happened on Sunday. It was a truly amazing experience, and all the long hours were fast and challenging ..the days flew by and I was happy the whole time. Here are some photos from this fabulous event!
