Brooklyn Signage

I got to check out the Brooklyn Storefront Exhibit at Brooklyn Historical Society right before it closed - and was left much more educated about our little borough. The stories that go with the beautiful pictures (by James and Karla Murray) were all so heart warming and made me want to go out of my way to keep the buck in Brooklyn.

Googlemania

Our friend from Adschool, Trey, invited us to a fun little thing called Google Sandbox. The purpose of the event is to introduce Google products (Go google-docs, go!) to advertising professionals. Those who weren't impressed by that alone, were introduced to another advertising proffesional's friend. Open bar.

Thanks for getting us drunk, Trey!

Sloppy dancing

Danced Friday night away to the beat of The Presets at Webster Hall. The most fun I've had in a long long time. Afterwords we slipped in a secret door and ended up at another dance party. Lots of sloppy moves and gin and tonic's later, I took on the task of balancing down a winding staircase. Looking at the picture now, I'm wondering... maybe it was me who was the winding one?

April's Target 1st

Cleaned out my closet and sold some of my old clothes at Beacon's Closet and Buffalo Exchange and spent the money on dinner at a cute little restaurant with a wonderful group of ladies. Lots of giggles and toasts later, we ended up shaking our bon-bons at Target 1st Saturday at Brooklyn Museum where we were out-danced by a tiny little 2 year old who pop'ed and did jump-splits like she she does it for a living. 

Good times. Good peoples.

Sunday aka Free Fallin'

New season. New reason.

Saturday

My buddy, Katie, invited me and her buddy Natalie, along to go to the annual Orchid show at New York Botanic Garden in Bronx. I'm not usually an Orchid kinda gal, but must say I was left breathless and surprisingly elevated after seeing all these gorgeous flowers in full bloom. 

I also remembered that the first flower I ever got from Jelsen was an Orchid. He carried it all the way from Hamburg to London. Here's a very old picture of that...

...And here is what my day looked like. Yes, I have an editing problem, but there can never be enough beauty on this page, right? My favorite part of this flower is the middle. I see everything from tongues to tigers heads in them. 

Do you see the tiger head on the top of this yellow one? I do!
