Gallery Mondays: Rise Above
About two weeks ago I saw this amazing art installation in the Flatiron Prow Art Space. Created by Sarah Haviland, the installation is called Rise Above, and it glows beautifully in this space at night. I’m not sure what it looks like during the daylight hours, but those winged figures sure look magical in the…

Fan Art Fridays: George W. Bush
How do I even begin this post? Okay, so when I left work today I saw on my Facebook feed that this was one of the many things that happened during the inauguration this afternoon: Some of us are sad today, but others had a great time playing peekaboo with a plastic sheet. pic.twitter.com/yOE0RJkNx8 —…

Fan Art Fridays: Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep won the DeMille Award at the Golden Globes this year, and boy, was that one hell of an acceptance speech or what?! I’ve loved Meryl in basically every movie I’ve seen her in, from Doubt to It’s Complicated. She’s timeless, and gives life to every character she plays. In honor of her achievement,…

Gallery Mondays: Winter Rabbit
We had our first official snow day of 2017 this weekend. Not fun. On my way to the N train last week, I walked by Chase bank on West 39th between Fashion Ave. and Broadway when I saw this cute winter rabbit on the window. I just love how innocent and vulnerable he looks! The…

Fan Art Fridays: Happy Birthday, Rowan Atkinson!
Okay, so technically it’s Rowan Atkinson’s birthday, not Mr. Bean’s, but which name do we associate him with most? I don’t know one person that doesn’t like Mr. Bean. He’s the type of character that makes you realize how silly life can be if you look at it from a different perspective. I found this…

Gallery Mondays: Crystallize by La’Maj & Co
Well, hello there, 2017! About a year ago, I saw this gorgeous replica of a bottle of Moët & Chandon Impérial Champagne in the window of a shop between Fashion Ave. and 8th Ave. in the Garment District in Manhattan. I wish I could remember which shop it was exactly, but the only information I…

Fan Art Fridays: RIP Debbie Reynolds & Carrie Fisher
Boy, the award shows in 2017 going to have very long and incredibly sad “in memoriam” segments. This week, we lost two amazing Hollywood actresses—Carrie Fisher (December 27) and her mother Debbie Reynolds (December 28). This mother-daughter duo is definitely one to be remembered. I mean, how crazy is it that Reynolds’ last words were…

Fan Art Fridays: Elsa, Olaf & Anna
Thursday was the first day of winter, so it’s only fitting that I feature every kid’s favorite winter-themed animated film, Frozen on this week’s Fan Art Fridays. I found this piece of fan art by A-KA over on Tumblr. Elsa, Olaf and Anna are in complete selfie mode in this colored pencil work of art,…

Gallery Mondays: Spa
We got our first snow in NYC over the weekend, but I wasn’t even mad because I had a reservation at Russian and Turkish Baths in the East Village. I went with Karina, who has been to a few other bath houses before the one we went to on Saturday. It was my first time…
