August 3rd: The Domino Effect



You take a picture of your tiny cardboard house, and I take a picture of you in your tiny cutoff shorts. This is how it works.

August 2nd: Indeed!

August 2nd: Saggy Bottom Jeans (Boots with the Furrr)



Skinny lady, genuine effort for fashion, wayyyy too saggy in the back. Diaper not included.

August 2nd: Googly Eyes



The reflection on this shop window isn't fooling you; the man IS wearing an ascot and a glittery jacket. But these things aren't what threw me off when I passed by and had to take a picture...

These ties are sporting GOOGLY EYES!!!

August 1st: You Are Here



Some graffiti from my favorite neighbourhood bistro, Toast. This ad is in the bathroom, and somehow hopes to ensnare you to move out of Manhattan with the "ideal" bathroom, replete with space and most importantly, A HUGE ARMCHAIR!

The fact that this faux bathroom is larger than my Manhattan apartment is not lost on me.

August 1st: Moustachioed



Creative graffiti artists, from the side of an M14 bus heading eastbound.

July 31st: The Poison Tree



This crazy-looking woman begat me. And you wonder where I get it from. This picture demonstrates the first time she's worn jeans in probably 20 years. They're my old jeans, which makes me feel fat (self-perception) but I love seeing her looking happy and silly.

July 31st: My Left Foot



Random collection of single shoes on display at the corner of 133rd and Broadway. Who would take them? Why are they on offer?

July 30th: Not the Dress You're Looking For



For the bargain basement "sale" price of $27,000, this wedding dress could be yours!

July 29th: White Piano Gloves



Love New York! Such eccentricities on an 100ยบ day!

July 29th: In a row

July 29th: The Old and the New



Columbus Circle has some of the most lovely mosaic tile work and finishes. I hope that this photo is depicting repairs on it, instead of the process of its replacement.

July 29th: Friends for Life (?)


Little girls on the subway, holding hands!

July 28th: Gravity Not Included



Saw this mannequin near Canal Street, and had to do a double take. Insert obvious commentary here.

July 28th: StretchNeck



One great thing about visiting a hair salon in an offbeat and trendy area of New York is getting to see the eclectic clothing and jewelry of the other clientele!

Case in point: This giraffe bracelet that I just love!

July 28th: Enterprising Homeless



This homeless guy had a sign that said "CAN I HAVE A BEER?" but when you went to take a photo, he'd turn it down and tell you to pay him a dollar.


Clever!

July 28th: Mixed Messages



In case of a fire, PLEASE RACE.

Perhaps a better acronym is in order?

July 27th: The Mannequin



Which one of these things isn't real?

July 27th: Seventies Surf



Drying my bathing suit on top of a borrowed towel, we've got that 70s flare.
