I just realized the contact info I’ve had up on this site for ages has been wrong.
So all friends, foes and potential employers wanting to hit me up old-school on the landline, change the 9 to a 0 and we’re golden.
Finally watched Faßbinder’s Liebe — kälter also der Tod (Love is Colder than Death) last night, and suddenly dreaming an all-white apartment.
Spent a perfect Saturday on the roof with some cool people, some Pacifico, some baseball and some Korean BBQ (shrimp and steak), courtesy of my beautiful boyfriend and chef extraordinaire, Mr. Paul Cacici and his new friend Smokey Joe. Now today I’m doing penance and working all day while it’s 90 degrees and sunny. So [...]

Nerd Boyfriend, the new blog that makes it that much easier for the fashionable man in your life to dress like world-class “geeks” like Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg (above), Buster Keaton, or even Andrew W.K.

The new Grey Gardens just premiered and I must admit at first I was skeptical. How would the film fill in the blanks in Little Edie’s life not included in the Maysles’ documentary? And more importantly, who could top Christine Ebersole’s Broadway turn or Ms. Body Beautiful Beale herself? But after I saw the previews [...]
Can, She Brings the Rain from Soundtracks, 1970
The perfect song for today, and one of my all-time favorites.
It’s images like this that make it easy to fall in love with New York. Not just the images, but the fact that decades after they were snapped they still ring true.
Just saw, (via New York mag) that the photographer who shot them, Helen Levitt, died last week at the age of 95. Levitt did a lot [...]
Darling friends, have you met Andre?
Andre and I go way back. Try as I might, I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about my old friend. In fact, I doubt you could find a better way to add a touch of class and distinction to any fucntion than by popping open a [...]
