Winter Drink Recipes

Sorry for the lack of insightful posts--maybe it's the impending 30th birthday that's slowing me down ;-)

But here are some great recipes for your Holiday Parties for yummy drinks!

My favorite of all of these has to be the Berry Punch ;-)

'Tis the Season...

...For really "bad" Christmas movies!!!

Sadly I don't have cable this year, but am going to take my bff up on her offer to watch some at her house and take advantage of the ones on Netflix.

A list of this year's best.

Enjoy!

Tardy Tardy Tardy!

Sorry I've been so absent lately, work has picked up (Yay!) and I've been quite busy.

But I plan to be up and running again soon, so long as I keep getting inspired!

Stay tuned for Sunday's "New Moon" outing with the ladies, and numerous successful holiday parties to report on.


Here is a picture that my friends Pete and Abby drew last night at a bar. Enjoy.

**Fine Art Friday** (A day early)

Maybe it's my recent interest and intrigue with the 70s punk scene or my penchant for retro looking imagery, but I LOVE this guy's work...


Niall O'Brien is a London-based photographer who I was introduced to when his reps D+V Management came to do a mini portfolio review.

He has a series of images where he has been following London punks for the past 4 years. Here is one of my favorite images from that series...


I love his color palette, and the way in which he captures street scenes without a posed quality. His Punk project work is reminiscent of Anton Corbin's young U2 and other musician portraits. But his fashion and editorial work is retro without being trendy.



Happy November Fine Art Friday.


XOXO

*Snapshot Wednesday*

Another great year volunteering at the NYC Marathon. Thanks to Martha and Abby for another inspiring and amazing year!!

Fine Art Friday, The Halloween Edition

Happy Halloween Fine Art Friday'ers.



These images are SPOOOOOOOKKKKYYYYYYY yet so freakin' awesome.



Apparently there's a huge movie/cinema production scene in Africa, similar to Bollywood. Who knew?


At any rate, photograher Pieter Hugo has taken some haunting portraits of some of the "characters" in these films.

"The tableaux of the series depict situations clearly surreal but that could be real on a set; furthermore, they are rooted in the local symbolic imaginary. The boundaries between documentary and fiction become very fluid, and we are left wondering whether our perceptions of the real world are indeed real." --Federica Angelucci


His other portraits are equally as haunting and equally as powerful (check out "Looking Aside"). He captures the uncomfortable, the familiar, the irregular and the strange with an exquisite tenderness not seen in many photographers.
