The Hotel Chelsea

This artist friendly and historically rich piece of property was sold for a reported 80+ million. If there was baby book somewhere for the city of New York, The Hotel Chelsea would be under Babies First Steps.(picture here)This was the second home to the creative and the poor, the rich and the coddled. With so much life and energy pouring through that place I believe it's safe to say, there is no way in hell the spirits that haunt Chelsea will let the workers get anything done. Nancy Spungen will be squawking and bitching in the ears of electricians and Dylan Thomas will be preaching his "Do not go gentle into that good night.." shpeel to some poor bloke with a blow torch. I wish them luck and bid The Chelsea a hasty adieu, funny, I have never been there yet have such fond memories of it.

On the rocks..

Ahhhh my vodka days...

Gordon Gartrell

In honor of my "make it work" backwards blouse and my decision to put one foot in front of the other in regards to my future in fashion, here is my homage to Denise and Theo for being open minded and creative enough to create their very own Gorden Gartrell. "...it's tucked into my socks!"

Bossa Nova

I need to loose my Ahhs and Uhhs and find my Nãos and Tãos.
I will learn this song if it kills me.


Olha, que coisa mais linda, Mais cheia de
graça, É ela, menina, que vem e que
passa, Num doce balanço, a caminho do mar.
Moça do corpo dourado, Do sol de Ipanema, O
seu balançado É mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda Que eu já vi
passar

Ah, por que estou tão sozinho? Ah, por que
tudo é tão triste? Ah, a beleza que
existe A beleza que não é só
minha, Que também passa sozinha.

Ah, se ela soubesse Que quando ela passa, O mundo
soirrindo Se enche de graça E fica mais
lindo Por causa do amor.

Good vibes at the Times

Bill Cunningham for Prez! The sweetest, wittiest, most humble funny man to walk the streets of NY. Paris was right to honor him and the NY Times should be thanking their lucky stars for his presents. He is the last of a dying breed. He is a true fashion hound in every sence of the word. I wish he was my neighbor.

"If you don't take money, they can't tell you what to do. That's the key to the whole thing." -Bill Cunningham
