Beauty

First Stephanie and I noticed the perfect little tree. Then we saw the perfect paper cut-outs in the window. So pretty, we walked an entire block talking about it.

Port-a-home

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought this would make a great "I'm ba-aack" statement.

(yup, best apartment search-ad placement ever)

Which reminds me, our first nyc apartment had the shower next to the oven and the toilet in a closet.

Girls, do NOT drink while you're pregnant. And if you are stupid enough to do it, don't get surprised when someone snaps a picture and publishes it on the world wide web for everyone to see.

Yesterdays randoms

I spent yesterday strolling the streets of Manhattan with my lovely friend Rebecka. The weather was gorgeous so we wanted to stay out as much as possible. We started at the Union Sq farmers market, then headed down to Soho and the Lower East Side. We walked and walked till my feet were sore and saw a lot of great things on the way.
The beekeeper told us there was a queen in here and that she is usually 3-4 times bigger than the workers. We spent a few minutes trying to find her in the bundle, but gave up and started sampling the goodness instead.
Becka has a freaking fountain in her building. Who HAS that? Well, besides Becka, I mean.
I like this sticker placement a lot. Peek a boo, peace is knocking on the door.
The cup reads "Drop quarter to see barbers move". I didn't have any quarters, but I managed to see the barbers move regardless. I love when I beat the system.
A hideaway restaurant off of Rivington. Sadly It wasn't open for business when we dropped by, but we plan on going back soon. It was super cute and I absolutely love what they did with their yard.This is exactly the rustic look I am going for for our rehearsal dinner / bbq in our backyard in June.


We passed the New Museum 4 times and didn't even walk in once. Ha.
This was a hole in the wall on Houston. I wanna go back and get a night lamp soon.

Find and seek

Look, kids, even the pretty people can end up in the gutter.

I like to take pictures of stuff I find on the streets and I also like to take pictures of pictures. So you can imagine how much joy it brought me to catch these two birds with one stone (or actually a cellphone camera).
Found in Torshov, Oslo, Sunday 10am.

Good Morning // 04

This morning while i was in the locker room at NYSC on 14th street (around 8:45) two men were caught 'doin the dirty' - in the steam room. the staff member who walked in on them approached this 'pleasant surprise' quite professionally. here it is:

Staff Member: "Guys, this IS NOT cool. You cant be doing this here...NOT cool"

He storms out for a few mins then comes back in with a female staff member. they go back into the steam room and to everyone's surprise - the two dudes were still at it! amazing, i know. now, the staff member was PISSED:

Staff Member: " What?! are you guys kidding me?! Get the fuck out of there NOW! You...and you....Yeah - YOU! I fucking saw you! no? you're tell me it wasnt you?! oh! you think it's cool looking at me jacking off right now?! you think this is funny!? FUCK YOU. get out right now!........I SAW YOU MOTHERFUCKER....IM LOOKING AT YOU RIGHT NOW!...yeah, i walked in and this guy was bent over giving you head. EY - get the fuck up right now! Be a man and get up....get UP"

Now, this entire time the culprits werent saying a thing back. of course not - their brains' blood was someplace else at the moment. tee hee.

i didnt stick around to see who they were - who cares! im def buying flip-flops today.

Marijuanapparel.

Yesterday, on myrtle's wonderful B54 bus, my eye caught onto a pattern on a pair of this grown-ass-man's jeans. what was that pattern? marijuana leaves; embroidered...across the entire pair.

REALLY?

What's up with these adults strutting around proudly rocking either 2pac/weed-leaf tees (wonder if they know his lyrics), dangling sterling 'silver' marijuana necklaces with real 'diamonds', and/or (my very, very favorite) a weed tattoo?

Why is this so cool to them? these are far from rebelling highschool kids skipping class to spark a quickie - these people HAVE children, even adult ones! Who cares that you smoke weed? most of us do. it really isnt unique and sure as hell isnt proclamation-worthy. all you're saying is, "hello stranger, before i tell you who i am or what i do for a living - i REALLY need to express how much i love weed....via my clothing. awesome, huh?!".

NOPE

I wonder how many of these marijuanapperellers are involved in any legalization issues or activist organizations. i wouldnt bet on many; these classy cats are just tooooo cool for that.
