This ingenious costume was captured by the camera of greenelent at this year’s Mermaid Parade. Given today is supposed to be 90 degrees, I have to confess a slice of the cool sweet stuff sounds mighty good!
Urban Artifact: Totem
As discovered on Linden Street. It appears to be some kind of fitness device. Anyone?
The Word On The Street: “As Is”
This guano-enhanced sofa hails from Knickerbocker Avenue. Any takers?

This is one of the “Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy” files: Elmhurst’s very own Oswaldo Gomez (usually known as Ms. Colombia) making an appearance at this year’s Mermaid Parade! Now this is in and of itself awesome. But what makes this photo (which UrbanPhotoz was kind enough to let me post) extra super special is Oswaldo was hospitalized not terribly long ago. It’s great to see she’s back and as happy as ever!

Urban Artifact: Stockholm Street
Today the Mister and I sojourned to visit a friend of ours in Ridegwood. As it would happen, said friend’s birthday is tomorrow and she has a slew of kittens up for adoption. We brought a treat and she treated us to some kitten time. A more than fair exchange if you ask me. But we’ll get into the latter later.* Anyhoo, as we were walking to this person’s home we encountered this:
Naturally I had to look at it.
A script. The Mister told me to put it back. I flat-out refused. First off: it was abandoned. Secondly: the content speaks for itself. Lastly: as a creative soul cum urban anthropologist I find it fascinating. When I arrived back at Chez Shitty and further examined my find, it got even more interesting…
The author of this endeavor appears to be a young man named Derrick. He has enlisted a few lady friends to make this vignette happen. I envision a future Joe Francis or perhaps even a Russ Meyer in the making!
*Kittens: of a litter of no less than nine lives, seven are left.
They’re really cute too. Two have bobtails!
Any/all who are interested in meeting these ladies and gentleman (who are around 9 weeks old) should contact their keeper/caretaker via email at: nutrichris (at) rcn (dot) com. Tell ’em Heather sent you.
Urban Fur: Havemeyer Street
Somewhere on Havemeyer Street there is a 99 Cent Store with a furry helper protecting panties against theft— or so she claims!
