A New York Shitty Shout Out: Hello, Jell-O!
To preface: yours truly is neither a fan of the holiday season nor Jell-O. Both of the previous are, in my opinion, teeming with some pretty unsavory things. In the case of the former, a rapacious and very uncharitable frenzy of consumerism; in the latter a bunch of animal components I’d just as well not ponder. I would like to also add it is not the purpose of this site and its author (me) to endorse products.
The previous having been established, there are very few things which please yours truly more than seeing a fellow Greenpointer (and lover of the Shit Tits, as seen at left rendered in the aforementioned rubbery stuff) get recognition for his/her work. This morning it came to my attention that this has in fact happened. Our very own Jell-O Mold Mistress of Brooklyn, Victoria Belanger, has published a book of her creations. It appears to be a very nice one. Those of you who are fans of Jell-O— or know someone who is— can purchase this book online by clicking here.
Way to go, Victoria!

Thought you might be interested in this time-lapse I made of my roommate installing “The Brooklyn Christmas Tree”. I see that you already posted photos here. Check it out.

this guy (or gal)
I spied this flyer upon exiting the Crosstown Local this afternoon. Being a “cat person” naturally I have to pass it along. If anyone reading this knows to whom this lad (or lass) belongs— or wants to give him a home for the holidays— do give his good Samaritan a ring at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks!
