Fan Art Fridays: Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is the latest actor to portray none other than Donald Dump Trump in a biopic/parody. The actor’s role as Donald Trump on Funny or Die is based on the 2016 presidential candidate’s book The Art of the Deal. I couldn’t handle how accurately Johnny Depp portrayed Trump, from the hair to the voice, all the way…

Gallery Mondays: Kobra’s ‘The Kiss’
Valentine’s Day is coming, so it’s time to get a bit lovey-dovey. This colorful mural by Eduardo Kobra might trigger a black and white memory of a real life event that happened in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945 commemorating our victory over Japan.

In December, I went to a Monday night Giggle Pit comedy show at Klimat Lounge in the East Village with a few friends. After the show, I needed a quick bathroom break. While waiting on the line, I saw this portrait of a mystery woman staring right back at me. In the bathroom. Totes cool. The…

Gallery Mondays: Goddess in a Sidewalk Vineyard
Back in September 2015, I was walking along 9th Ave in Midtown when I saw this gorgeous goddess outside of Casa di Isacco. I’d passed by the restaurant a couple of times, but I never realized there was a sculpture sitting in that sidewalk vineyard.

Gallery Mondays: “Balloon Flower” by Jeff Koons
Now, I’m aware that flowers are the last thing that come to mind when it’s almost the third week into winter in NYC, but we’re making an exception for today’s Gallery Mondays. I saw “Balloon Flower,” a balloon-shaped, stainless steel sculpture of a flower, while headed to the 9/11 Memorial Museum with a friend in December.…

Fan Art Fridays: Channing Tatum
To say that the season 2 premiere of Lip Sync Battle on Spike was intense on Thursday night is an understatement. Channing Tatum battled his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum on the show, Channing beating her out with a diva-licious lip syncing of Beyoncé’s “Who Run the World (Girls).” Channing brought Beyoncé herself on stage towards the end of…
