SLEEP

Time to lie in the bed I made.

TWIST and SHOUT

We are all born with exceptional physical gifts! All bodies are amazing bodies. I could have been born with a great jaw line, a teeny waist, fast runner or high cheek bones but I was born double-jointed. Yeah...it surprised me too! I twist...and others shout. 

VIP OPENING FRIEZE NYC

Nutcracker by Jennifer Rubell at The Breeder Gallery, Athens

All he wanted was a room alone (see above) to enjoy the fair. All she wanted were some nuts to crack (see above). Here I present some oh-so-random shots from the Frieze Fair VIP opening on Randall's Island, NYC. The titles are terribly incomplete and I will try to get to that later in the day! Right now, I got some nuts to crack, (literally!) It is time to go to the bakery.

SPARE TIME

What do I do in my spare time? I donate my creative energies to SCRATCHbread. I Paint giant arrows and I look for signs where there are none.

SKOWHEGAN AWARDS DINNER

 Skowhagan awards dinner and gala where Mary Heilmann was honored. Yeah Mary!

MY FEAR OF SWEET THINGS THAT BRING JOY: ECONOMY CANDY

I remember Halloween growing-up for two distinct dramatic events: one was the year my friends came hours late to pick me up for Trick or Treat and I sat on the front stoop waiting in my little princess costume feeling terribly sad (Ok, maybe I was dressed as a hobo - but I had the heart of a princess damn it! And I was distraught!) And the second Halloween drama would happen each year after Trick or Treat when we would gather up all of our treats and bring them to the hospital to have them x-rayed for fear that pins of razor blades had been surreptitiously placed inside a Snickers or a Mars bar. I am sorry...did ANYONE else do this?!

I think partially because of this I am not a a big fan of sweet things in general but I am a big fan of bright and bountiful nostalgia with cool graphics! Well, and I Do eat sweets sometimes and then I seek the perfect sweet, in the perfect place. Economy Candy on the Lower East Side has been serving the dental community since 1937.
