Cisco Adler!!!



Okay so this has nothing to do with anything this blog is about but to follow up on my moment with Cisco Adler, I messaged him on my space telling him how stoked I was to see him in person and how I should have just screamed his name and called him over instead of running away like a little girl! I've wanted to meet this dude since last year. His music is awesome and he always seemed like a totally fun dude to chill with. Anyways this was a follow up, it said he read my message but didn't answer, so I told him that wasn't cool but todayyyyy he did and I am so ridiculous. I know I am, trust me. It wasn't anything big haha but it made my day. All he said was:
"nooooooo!!!babe i dont always see every message on here
what did it say
and yes i like when girls scream my name"
Did you ever read the book The Secret? Well it says that the Universe always finds a way to bring things that you want or things that you want to happen, to you. It's always worked for me since I read it and was aware of this way of thinking. Yeah unrealistic that me and Cisco would become best friends, but we did see each other in person and have exchanged words. Close enough for me. :)

Stay Local @ Lokal


This weekend has been so eventful, I can not even begin to tell you. I barely had any time to stop moving it was insane. It was enjoyable everything, but painful! I came out of this weekend with a lot of cuts and bruises all on my own doing haha sheesh! Friday night we went to Annex and I was absolutely stoked because I haven't been there in a while and I love it there. I danced my little butt off the whole time it was great and I still highly recommend it there. It's such a fun atmosphere. Saturday I went to Warped Tour...I think this will be my last year. I feel a bit too old for it, not that I am old but it doesn't feel the same as it did when I was 15. The greatest thing ever was that Cisco Adler was there and I was not aware he was going to be. I'm sure for anyone else they could care less because most people either think he is a grime ball or saying "Cisco who?" Anyways, we had a moment ahaha he caught me looking at him and did something I don't know how to put into words but it was cute and then I ran back to my boyfriend and friends because I felt super silly. That was the biggest hi-light of my warped tour day I think. Sunday was MGMT and The Ting Tings, and I can't even express enough how great they both played. So amazing! The Ting Tings energy is insane and I completely fed off of it and MGMT was so on key they were great. On top of that there was intense lightning and thunder and it was pouring the whole while. It made things interesting to say the least. After that me and my friends ate at a place called Lokal, it's located on the corner of Nassau and Lorimer. It was so delicious, I got a grilled vegetable plate. I ate it so fast they were the most tasty vegetables ever I wanted more but I was unfortunately very broke this weekend. But my advice would be to try out their food, everyone thoroughly enjoyed theirs. So delicious. I do apologize for my long gaps in posting, I hope you could understand how busy my schedule has been and I will try my hardest to try and post more when I find little bits of time. Love you peeps!

Take only what you need from it...




Hello Bridge and Tunnelers! I finished my summer class today! So excited that I don't have to have that in the back of my head anymore. Now just summer lovin' and no worries. I am stoked. This weekend I'm going to see MGMT and The Ting Tings at where else than the McCarren Park Pool. I am so so excited. These are two of my most favorite bands. So I am expecting a good day with my boyfriend and good music. I've been getting these E-mails from DailyOM which also has a great book out as well that you should get into. It's all about the way the universe works and a better way at thinking and resolving conflicts in your life. From the most simple things to the most extreme it rationalizes everything. This is an excerpt from my E-mail today ( I swear I look forward to these every day, they keep me in line.) : "As you breathe rhythmically today, you may discover that your muscles loosen and your mental clarity returns." This whole E-mail was about getting rid of any anxieties or stresses that may come into your life simply by focusing on your breathing. The more shallow your breathing is when your anxious the less oxygen your body gets to to relieve itself of any mental cloudiness. Rhythmic breathing lets your body know everything is well. So you can basically breathe your way into wellness and it's so true. Your body does feel calm when you do breathing exercises. It's a big part of Yoga which I am also a major fan of. I would definitely check out DailyOM's website and add yourself to the mailing list. I have my e-mails sent to my phone so that I have them with me wherever I am at any part of the day. They're a great lift me up. I hope all is well loveys and maybe I will see you guys in Brooklyn this weekend? Hope so!

Jengaaaa!


This weekend I really had so much fun and it was doing simple things, but I find that that is always the best. You don't always need a lot going on to have a good time with your friends. I went to BK around 12 AM on saturday night, completely random. (Me and Ryan weren't going to go till Sunday) We met up with a few of our friends and went to this bar The Levee. I almost immediately fell in love with this place. It was comfortable, fun, and had a amazing vibe. They have a really extensive menu for beers, some of the weirdest beers I've never even heard of but I stuck to PBR's because they were only $2 and you can't beat that. Their menu for food is almost funny but it's really what you'd like to eat when you're drinking. It consisted of things such as peanut butter and jelly, cheese balls, popcorn, a frito pie (never had or heard of it but it could be good!), ruffles and french onion dip and so much more but that is such a strange menu. They serve food till 4 AM too so it's pretty neat. Aside from their menu they have board games all over the place for you to play, me and my friends played Jenga and Connect Four. Games like these are so much more intense when you have a few drinks in you haha. After Levee we headed to another bar our friend Bryan was telling us about and he took us to this door that led to a long hallway, it was super discrete we were like " where the heck are you taking us?" The door had one of those things you slide like in the Wizard of Oz and he asks for a password, I had to make a crack at that. You don't need a password though (although I think that would have made things exciting), you open the door and then you're thrown into this super chic bar that I was absolutely thrown over about the decor. Not what I had expected. It was so nice and the fact that it was so discrete on the outside made it so much more surprising to see what was going to be on the other side. This place was called Larry Lawrence. You should definitely check it out with your friends, it feels like you have your own little secret world to yourself. I loved the place it was not what I expected. Sunday I did go to McCarren Park to see Matt and Kim and I had such a great time. Their energy is so extreme, Kim has the most giant smile the whole time she plays and Matt is just hysterical. Their energy together is so electric and contagious you can't help but feel good listening to their music and watching them play. If you missed them definitely try and see them next time they're around. They're awesome for a good spirit lift. Okay it's time for me to get some food in my belly it's yelling at me! See you soon loveys!

Summer time and the livin's easy


How is everyone's summer going so far? Mine has been quite amazing and fun so far. I have no complaints. I wish the weather was consistently nice out but hey, the days (like today) that are beautiful I enjoy the best I can. This weekend I'm going to see Matt and Kim at McCarren Park Pool for free. I can't wait, it should be a great show and a fun day. It's this Sunday the 13th@ 2PM till dusk. I hope to see you guys there. You should really check out their music if you're not familiar with them. They're really upbeat and fun. I like to listen to them when I'm getting ready so I leave my house in a super good mood. I feel like I have minimal time this summer for everything that I planned. I forgot that even though I'm taking some classes online they would still be time consuming. I've been trying to juggle this blog, my art work, classes, my job, and a social life all at once. I enjoy it all though I don't feel like a bump on a log. I really hope you're all enjoying your summers and that the events I've been posting have been fun and interesting for you to go to. I really really hope to see you all there. There will be hot dogs and brooklyn beer inside. Yummmmmy. Don't forget bathing suits and towels! There's a giant blow up and slip n' slide! See you all there loveys!

Wet Hot American Summer!




McCarren Park Pool
is having a screening of Wet Hot American Summer tomorrow night at 8PM for free. If you haven't already seen this movie you should it should be a staple in any ones list of favorite movies. If you have already seen it go see it again under the stars on a beautiful summer night. Bring your love bird and be cute together on a blanket giggling like little school girls to a great movie. That's not it though! The doors open at 4PM for live music and food you could make a whole day out of it. It will be one of those moments in summer that you'll never forget and think that was a really good day. I'm getting all starry eyed just thinking about it.

It's been a while...


I've been quite busy with work and painting lately and my friend just had a baby! I've been away from bridge and tunnel a lot longer than I thought. Just a little overwhelmed with things. Anyways I just started reading The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again) written by Andy Warhol. I haven't been able to put it down. It's so amazing the way his mind works, he writes the way he thinks and you can see how random his thoughts pop out...in the middle of talking about money he says "I hate sundays, there's never anything open..." and then continues talking about the "green". So in tribute to how much I love Andy Warhol...there is actually a event tomorrow in tribute to him, his work, and the factory and it should be absolutely amazing. It's tomorrow at Don Hills on Spring st. in Manhattan. There will be go go dancers, cabaret, makeovers, iconic artwork by Warhol, and live performances by The Rats, and The Hunt. If you are a fan of Warhol and his life and work this would be the event for you. It's $10 and starts at 10 PM. Go go go and have the time of your life and tell me all about it and take pictures because I will be at work . Major sad face for me. Arite loveys, I gotta go paint! Sorry for the long break in writing!

A Night in Brooklyn!


Saturday night after the bubble fight, I went to Brooklyn to meet up with a few friends. We planned to have a night of bar hopping. We started out at a place called Brooklyn Surf Bar. When you first walk up to the place you are greeted by a lot of decorative lights and a grassy awning, and as soon as you walk into the place you are literally walking on a floor coated with sand. It takes only a few seconds till you really don't feel like you're in Brooklyn surrounded by cement buildings anymore. They have really great strawberry Mojitos, which is what I sipped on there. Delicious! It had actual chunks of strawberries in it to eat. Yummy. We ate there and everyone was happy with their food, I just had a salad and some fries because I wasn't feeling quite hungry but I didn't want to drink on a empty stomach. Both of which were really delicious! After that we went to a place called Union Pool, absolutely fun and cool vibe. There's a lot of space inside and out back, where we spent most of our time. It has a outside deck and fountain in the middle of it. It's a perfect hang out on a summer night, we only stayed for a few drinks but it really is a fun place to go with friends. We carried on with our bar ventures and then headed to Royal Oak(pictured above) which I loved the decor for, very intimate leather seating spread out among 3 rooms. The bartenders were quick and friendly even though there were a lot of people there. There's also a foosball table in the second room! Alligator Lounge was the next stop and the great aspect of this place is with every drink you get a free pizza ticket. They serve brick oven cooked pizzas till 3:30 am absolutely free with your drinks. So you can save your pizza tickets for another night if you'd like even! It's a great deal and an awesome way to end the night if you're feeling hungry and already spent a lot on drinks. I had a great night, and if you're bored with your usual spots and want to switch it up I suggest trying any or all of these places. They're certainly not a let down.

A day well spent...







I finally went to Madame Tussauds. It was so much fun, my boyfriend and I went. It was so eerie how real they looked, sometimes we couldn't tell which ones were wax figures or real people standing in the room. Robin Williams was my favorite, he looked so real that it almost felt uncomfortable to stare at his face. I really wanted to take a picture with Jack Sparrow because I have a ridiculous obsession with him but they had him roped off. He was the only figure you had to pay to take a picture with. I had a major sad face when that happened. That was not going to ruin my day though! After that, we went to the Bubble Battle in Times Square and it was so amazing. I had the biggest cheesy grin on my face the whole time it was so much fun, it made me feel like a kid again. Me and Ryan bought a giant jug of bubbles and a super big wand that made what we called 'bubble bombs'. The wand made globe sized bubbles and they'd pop on peoples heads, it was so funny. It was so beautiful and fun for such a large group of people to get together and just be light hearted and free spirited on a perfect summer day. Everyone was having so much fun we stayed there for about an hour and a half just making bubbles and meeting new people. It was such a great day. I actually ran into Gala in Toys 'R Us, I was glad to see her! All in all it was a perfect day and I hope those of you that came had an amazing time! I have a few new bars and restaurants to tell you guys about that I went to in Brooklyn last night but I'll save that for tomorrow. Have a great night loveys.

Love Yourself...




I just stopped by Gildas Blog, and she had a quote that Sheryl Crow said that had inspired her post and by reading her post it inspired me. I think everyone should see this:

"I used to take my body for granted, but I have a stronger sense of my own feminine power and sensuality now! [crow is a breast-cancer survivor]. The sexiest thing to me is knowing and embracing who you are. Not changing yourself to look younger but honoring every stage of life and the wisdom that goes with it. The stuff that stressed me out in my 30s I feel liberated from in my 40s. With that comes a sense of joy and a youthfulness that’s real, not manufactured."

I thought I should pass this on, because I feel sometimes ( a lot with people I know even) that people worry too much about how they look to other people, or their own friends and family even. The only person you should worry about is yourself. If you're happy with the person you are than that's all you need. If you want to wear a tutu because that's the mood your in, do it! Who cares about the strangers? You'll never see them again anyways, live in the moment. I own everything I do all the time. I know I'm the only person that will ever be responsible for my happiness, where my life is going, and who I have in it. So today make that your priority and own who you are. You will always be happy with your life when you take charge of your own happiness. No one else can do it for you. Don't be one of those strangers that look at people who choose to look the way they want, because they do own themselves and they are happy with the way they are. They're living their life they want to and that should be inspiring to you instead. It is extremely empowering to love yourself, it'll do wonders in your life and will make it a lot more fulfilling. I hope this was as inspiring for you as it was for me.

Thanks Gilda for the great quote and inspiring me as well. We should keep this going. <3

Bubble Battle Baby!




You all have no idea how stoked I am for this. I've been in love with bubbles since I was little. They're so pretty. I'm easily stimulated if you can't tell. This Saturday I'm going to have so much going on but you better believe I'm going to document it all for you guys. Hopefully some of you will also take part in it! It's all going to be a lot of fun. Bubble Battle is taking place this Saturday in Times Square @ 6:21 (yes weird time I'm aware haha). Bring your bubble machines, bubble guns, and good old fashioned bubble wands and lots of ammo and if you really want to stand out you should bring one of those giant wands and make the biggest bubbles ever. Newmindspace the same doers that brought you the giant pillow fight in Union Square back in March are fronting this. There will be a good amount of people taking part in this, it's going to look awesome. There will be bubbles floating all over Manhattan and I can't wait. Hope to see you there!

Check back here for my video of the Bubble Battle. I'll also be hitting up the Hell's Kitchen Flea for some new items to reap e-mail me if you'd like to join!

A new kind of Couture!








Music, Fashion, Food, and Drinks all in the same place this weekend! I'm thinking this might be a really fun event to go to. I just spotted it and I wanted to share it with all of you. It takes place this Saturday the 21st in Brooklyn. All info you'd ever need to know about this even is on the flier. Maybe I'll see some of you there?

Let's Dance...


Just like David Bowie. I would love to dance with David Bowie. Anyways, some girl that's new to Brooklyn and New York all together just asked me what one of my favorite clubs to go to was, which inspired me to write this post. I haven't mentioned any clubs yet. My absolute favorite that I told her is Annex. I danced my ass off there and had an amazing night on my 21st and I must go back soon!
Annex is Located at 152 Orchard St. in Manhattan. It's 3 floors of fun, full bars, couches upstairs, dungeon downstairs, with another bar. They play awesome music, the first floor and second floor there's a DJ playing music and downstairs there's a mix of indie music being played and is more of a hangout. On the first floor everyone is flailing on the dance floor and you should join them! It is my promise to you that you will have a good night here. Friday nights is Ruff Club, that was going on when I went and it was a great time. They have weekly parties Wed, Thur, Fri, and Sat. So check their site and see what's going on and who will be playing. Hope to see you there!

Oh Peanut...





I caught my pup making a funny face. I just wanted to introduce my girly because I will probably mention her at some point. The best pup you could ask for. I adopted her at Social Tees which is a place that works with the ASPCA so you can pick out dogs there and then go pick them up at the shelter and adopt them for free. If you're ever looking for a pup (or any animal, they even have reptiles) please go there first and save some animals. This dog seriously is the best dog I could've asked for she is the most ridiculous dog I've ever met and has the funniest personality. She's a total mush and cuddling up next to me as I type because she's the cutest. Socialtees is located in Manhattan on 124 4th Street near 1st Ave. So if you're looking for a new pet, and want to save a life stop by. Ask for Rob.

Who needs to be part of evolution?






Not me apparently! I broke my thumb I found out today. I sprained it (so I thought) on Memorial Day playing wiffle ball. I was drunk enough to believe I was a amazing athlete and tried sliding to the home base. I knew something was wrong as soon as I hit the ground. My thumb was killing me. So I purchased one of those handy dandy thumb splints from the drug store trying to avoid the doctor. That was 3 weeks ago and I still can't bend it so today I decided it was time for an x-ray and sure enough I have a lovely piece of my bone floating around. ( you could see it in my x-ray gross!) That could be why it doesn't bend eh? So the lesson here is, no matter how drunk you are, remember you are still not an all star athlete.

Love Love ( and pain)

Cake shop till you drop!







So there's a joint named Cake Shop that I'm super excited about. It's in Manhattan. Records, cupcakes, and beer. How amazing is that? Sounds like fun to me. On the first floor you will find a sweet little cafe full of scrumptious treats and coffee and then when you move on to the back room you'll find a room full of records ranging from Soul to Indie. Take the green stairs to the dark downstairs and there you'll find a full service bar furnished with a full row of theater chairs and a church pew! Pretty crazy decorating scheme but I'm definitely into it. If you want to check it out and it sounds like your place to be, it's located at 152 Ludlow, near Stanton. Go get some cupcakes and send me some while you're at it! <3

Nerd? Maybe...






So maybe it is the nerd in me but I just don't care. I found out that you can still see the White Star Line port at Chelsea Piers. You can still make out where the lettering was for White Star Line. It's supposedly Pier 54, I plan on going this weekend I'll post pics for you. I've been such a Titanic nerd before the movie even came out. ( And you better believe I'm going to watch the movie after this post haha) For some reason it fascinated me entirely.

Anyways how are my lil loveys? I hope you're all having a great start to the week. I am exhausted! I had work all day. You'd think selling books wouldn't take so much of a toll on you right? I have a few paintings to bust out still too. I plan on selling at the Brooklyn Flea pretty soon. I'll let you all know the exact date so you can come say hi! :) Fill me in on what you've been up to or if there's any places you guys know of that I haven't mentioned yet that you'd like me to.

Newest Paintings Listed on Etsy...





This painting was obviously inspired by Snow White. I've been doing a fairy tale series inspired by my favorite childhood damsels. This one I wanted to integrate some collage work into. Sometimes I feel that just paint is a little boring and some other types of media worked into it make things a little more interesting.


This Painting I've absolutely fell in love with I wish I could keep it but I already listed it so I will have to say goodbye. I'm really going to hate to see this one go. I was doing a non-objective expressionistic piece and it turned into a lotus and oh yeah I love it so much. It's so so pretty and I had so much fun making it. I love doing non-objectives it's so fun to see what they turn into at the end. This was just a bunch of blobs all over the paper at first. Insane.

What do you guys do that's creative on your free time? I'd love to see some of the other talent from NY. Even if you're not from NY heck send it anyway! I love seeing other peoples work, it's amazing how different peoples styles can be especially on the same subject matter.

Okay, back to painting! If you want to buy either of these you can click on my Etsy items on the left side it'll take you straight to my shop :)

Bob Dylan At Prospect Park





You all have no idea how ridiculously excited I am for this news. I was saying not too long ago how much I wish he would start his tour again. I really wanted to see him before he doesn't tour anymore. Not only is he touring but he's going to be playing at Prospect Park for Celebrate Brooklyn! This amazingness is on August 12th at 8pm. I for one will be there hands down. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 AM! If you want to be there you better be ready by the phone with the number on speed dial by 9:59. Here is the link to his tour dates if you aren't in the NY area and still want to see him play. EEEE so excited!Hope to see you guys there, i'll be sitting on a blanket relaxing with some friends on the lawn. :)

**UPDATE** SOLD OUT IN 5 MINUTES!!! could you believe that?? Actually I guess it's not that unbelievable he's a legend.

It's a scorcher! HOT HOT HOT!!!







It is so hot today! I love the summer and all but sometimes I'd prefer to sit in the AC all day in comfy clothes and work on my paintings. I went to Six Flags yesterday and my god, it was 92 degrees there. I got in trouble for walking around in my bikini top. I was like really? I'm gonna have heat stroke. Not so much, but it was way too hot I just wanted to run around in my bikini and not wear my clothes. Me and my boyfriend couldn't even kiss each other without getting sweat on our lips. Yeah, how gross is that? So in response to the summer swelter I decided to give you a few fun places to go in the summer here and beat the heat. Aren't you excited? You should be!


Manhattan

300 New York- Located at Chelsea Piers, you can go bowling here and escape the heat while knocking down some pins and drinking some fancy martinis (or whatever your choice drink is.) Between Piers 59 & 60 , 23rd St. & the Hudson River


MOMA- This museum is amazing (and air conditioned), it's a fun thing to do during the day and check out some great art. Have fun and then get some yummy food afterwards.



Brooklyn

Don Pedros- Latin American, South American cuisine in a really fun atmosphere. Check their website for the look and feel of what they've got going on there. Great food, fun atmosphere and cheap beer. Could you ask for more really?
90 Manhattan Ave near Boerum.

Barcade- Spacious and lofty, barcade is exactly what it sounds like. It's a bar arcade with a line up of classic arcade games like Donkey Kong and Moon Patrol. It never feels crowded because of the lofty space it's in and there's a great amount of beers to choose from. Awesome.

I would add more but I have to go to work and sell some books. I'll update later with more but those are absolutely fun and cheap places to go and get out of the heat.

Stay cool loveys,
DH






A little book of Warhol...





Andy Warhol is one of my personal favorite artists. Not only because of his quirky and colorful art, but because of the person he was. Andy was such a intriguing individual if you ask me. I would give one day just to see the world through his eyes. I wish I lived in his time so I could be friends with him. He is so inspiring to me. These albums are as close as you can get to seeing his world. It's a collection of his Polaroids and I think they're brilliant.These little books are sold at Alphabets. My favorite little shop on Avenue A between 7th St and St.Marks Place. This shop has a lot of really neat finds you hardly ever will see anywhere else. They also sell my favorite chap stick which makes me love it even more. If you're looking for something really different and unique for a gift; this is the place to go. Definitely take a gander if you're in the neighborhood, you will love it.

See ya loveys,
DH

80's Baby!




So the 80's style is definitely back in action. It feels a bit odd since I was a 80's kid and the style is already back. I thought it would take longer than that. But here in NY I've seen nothing other than kids looking like they walked out of a bad 80's movie. The style isn't bad though. I can't say it hasn't snuck it's way into my closet a little bit yet. I'm really into these 80's shades. I really really like them. You can get them for $10 at Day-Lab. One of my favorite sites for unique items. Really sweet accessories. Check that out and for you men...they have Night-Lab. Also really cool stuff for guys. I promise you, you will fall in love with these sites. Arite I need to get some shut eye. I have a busy day ahead of me tomorrow.

Goodnite Loveys!
DH

So Busy...








I can't believe how busy and eventful the start of my summer has been already. TOO much going on. Parties, Art, Trips. Amazing and fun but I am pooped!Anyways, there is one restaurant that I need to rave about. It is the greatest little Thai food joint and I've been going there since I was 17 years old. Absolutely amazing, delish, affordable, and fantastically decorated. It's called Spice (I gave you the menupages link, their site seems to be down) and if you haven't heard about it get your little booty there now! It's so so good.I haven't gone in a few months and I'm craving it badly. It's located on the corner of 10th and University( 60 is the building number to be precise). So after you're done hanging out in Union Square watching the break dancers go nuts, go eat some Thai. My absolute favorite dish is Tofu Rama. It is so delicious I can't say it enough. It's a bunch of vegetables with chunks of tofu drizzled with peanut sauce and jasmine rice to add to it. Yum. And I usually get the curry puffs. They're full of potato and a sweet curry in a flaky crust. Also scrumptious. Their Pad Thai is also to die for. Yum Yum. You can also call them for take-out and they come speedy on their bikes with some great food. Amazing on a rainy night I tell you. Can't wait for this weekend. I'm also going to Madame Tussauds to see Jack Sparrow. I found out he's there and I decided I absolutely must go now. I think it's quite crazy to be attracted to such a dirty pirate but hey, I have no problem admitting it. Okay I gotta head out, but I'm really happy to get this page going! I'm going to set aside time everyday to make sure I can write for you all and keep you updated with the happenings here in NY.

see ya loveys,
DH
