Greenpoint Fashion Watch: Fabulous Paid Forward

Earlier today I had someone compliment me on my outfit. More specifically she found it cute how I always manage to incorporate pink into my daily wardrobe. I assured her this was not entirely deliberate. You see, being the kind of person who— more often than not— takes an hour to decide what she wants for lunch I have streamlined my morning ritual, e.g.; I pick one item of clothing and then build the day’s “look” around it. Now factor in that I own a great deal of pink clothing and you get the idea. Head to toe pinkitude.

I mention the previous anecdote because I found someone whose monochromatic fabulousness must be shared with the general public.

I have seen this woman around the neighborhood before. I had never gotten the chutzpah to tell her amazing I think her fashion sense is— until today. What you cannot see very clearly in the above picture, dear readers, are Susan’s (that’s her name) magnificently blinged-out nose jewelry (which I’d hazard to guess came in at around a karat) and customized eyeglasses. On the latter she has applied broken bits of paste jewelry to make them, well, more sparkly. The fact she was a really nice lady to boot rounds out her ensemble perfectly; Susan sparkles on the outside because she’s sparkly on the inside!

In closing I’d like to give a big New York Shitty salute to Susan for beautifying Greenpoint— one rhinestone— and smile— at a time!

You ROCK!

Southside Street Seating Du Jour: Tete a Tete

This is not “street seating” per se but it merits attention nonetheless.

For starters, this al fresco arrangement has a rather nice view of the Williamsburg Bridge.

Secondly, it’s easily accessible via the collapsed (but nicely painted) construction fence!

Dung Of The Day: In Yer Face!

I rarely feature what this site was initially premised upon: that being shit of all stripes. Perhaps this is because I have become choosy? Or find other subject matter more provocative? I’d hazard to say both.

However, when I found the above specimen (which is located a short distance from the Union Avenue entrance to the G and L train) I knew I had to pass it along here. Why, you ask? Well, there are many reasons.

But mostly because of the New York City Transit Authority gloves that are found next to this public poo. NICE.

Naturally when I got home I had to look up the web site featured on this “Metrocard”. I quickly discovered I have seen a number of this person’s work before. I can’t honestly say I care much for the poetry (for the simple reason that I am not into poetry) but I really liked the polymer sculptures. Moving forward I’m going to keep an eye out for them!
