La grosse pomme

Some of the pictures I took in NYC before Sandy hit the East coast and the weather was warm. The first picture is the view of Manhattan from the rooftop of Sky Hotel where I was invited to a party. I feel like because there are so many skyscrapers in NYC there is always a rooftop party somewhere. If not, you can just go to one of the rooftop bars that are also in abundance. Also,  if you live in NYC or are visiting, make sure you go and see Floating Kabarette show in Brooklyn. It's fairly close to Manhattan, and the tickets are cheap considering sky-high prices of bars and clubs on the island itself. The city in the rays of setting sun is New Jersey. In NYC where you don't see the sun that often, to see the whole city in sun light is pretty incredible, so I enjoyed the moment and tried to depict it on the photo. Yan Ray (see previous posts) and I on the last two pictures. I am wearing H&M t-shirt, Givenchy shorts and David Beckham for H&M tights. On the next picture, I'm wearing H&M white t-shirt, Cheap Monday jeans, vintage cape and Celine bag.

I don't have Discovery Channel, so I no longer participate in the hysteria that is Shark Week. I'm bummed, because I did watch it every year. Anyways, although Shark Week was several months ago, and summer is completely faded, let's do an homage to sharks. It might have been Givenchy's take on sharks, or it may be the hatred that summer is over, which ever one, sharks have been pretty popular lately. Some of my favorites are above. Don't you want to go swimming now?

Muse Monday: Beth Ditto

I remember when the Gossip first came out several years ago. What I remember most were all the articles I read about the eccentric lead singer Beth Ditto. She was definitely a power house. Strong, lesbian, provocateur, over-weight, confident and extremely powerful. Ditto talked about rejection all her life and how it just made her stronger. Even after she picked a fight with Kate Moss over the NME "Sexiest Woman Alive" award, a week later, they were BFF's. Anyone that has seen Gossip live will easily tell you, Beth Ditto knocks your socks off. She is just full of this positive energy that overwhelms the entire room and makes you want to dance until your feet fall off. Beth Ditto is definitely a symbol of the future woman. She exudes an energy quite like no other, and she is as strong as she is loud. I think that's enough to make her at least this week's Muse.
