what an afternoon
so such a weird day! i have some fabu news to report - sloan fine art was in the printed edition of new york magazine in the infamous approval matrix. and guess what bitches? we are highbrow brilliant according to them. we're even technically rated higher than jasper johns. who rules the nyc gallery scene? we do! this week at least :) we are located on page 78 or if you want to check it out online here is the url: http://nymag.com/arts/all/approvalmatrix/47206/. we are on the upper right hand corner!
and then on my way in to work at the salon it totally tripped and fell in the crosswalk in front of a million people on 23rd and 8th (a major intersection). that was highbrow brilliant, too. two nice ladies helped me up and grabbed my shoe and sunglasses that went flying. totally sweet of them.
and then as i finished walking to the salon i walked by uma thurman. i eyed her thinking she looked familiar and she eyed me back and then we smiled at each other. i think she was impressed that there was another girl as tall as her. :) they are filming a movie called motherhood in front of the salon as i type! so needless to say there are peeps all over the place. we think they have it all wrong. the real action is here inside the salon! ;)
so who else knows what will happen this fine evening!
MWAH!

the verve and gossip girl
so i got to see the verve with my friend jake on monday and they were so good! way better than i had expected. here, watch the video for one of their songs called sonnet that i love!:
we also had a lot of fun playing a little game called where are you from. so the girls with the teased hair looking like trainwrecks were from jersey, the scruffy looking boys with tight fitting jackets were hippie-sters from brooklyn, regular hipsters were from the lower east side. hot rich gay men were from meatpacking. not so rich but equally hot gay men were from chelsea ;) and so on and so forth.
on the work front i don't know if i mentioned it but i've sold 2 pieces of art! woo-hoo! it's very exciting :)
at work last night one of the girls came in and said she saw chuck from gossip girl. i was totally jealous because i so love gossip girl and it's one of my fave shows. if you don't watch it you should start. monday's show is supposed to be all sorts of scandalous skankiness/luridness. i can't wait. apparently the spoiler alerts mention a sex tape with the main character serena and everyone thinks her brother is going to be coming out of the closet. it's going to be such a fierce hot mess! just look!:
you know you love me! xoxo ;)

rome continued
i realize that i didn't mention how much fun i had with the billy shire kids in rome, too. duh! i figured i had kind of alluded to that in a previous post but i just wanted
to be clear what a fab time we had running around the city doing touristy things. in fact, the coolest thing ever was this creepy church that was decorated all in bones! it was so amazing - it's called the capuchin cemetery. check out these pics:
we also went to the vatican museum, the sistine chapel, st. peter's square and the acropolis (among many others). here are some more pics:
the map room and gorgeous ceiling in the vatican museum:
the golden doors only opened every 25 years of the vatican:
the fabu daniel martin diaz, glenn barr and annie a.:
the ruins in the acropolis:
the opening at mondo bizarro went well. the works were all beyond amazing! you can view scott brooks pics here: http://flickr.com/photos/scottgbrooks/sets/72157604374431469/

5 years
ok, ok, so i know. that's what it seems like it's been since i've last posted. but what can i say, i've been a very busy bee as of late!
so the rome/milan trip was fabulous (as were the cure shows!) and i enjoyed every last minute. i got to hang out with my good friend milena which always rules and i got to see a few other friends (even if it was only momentary!) upon returning home i became employed by my fantastic friend alix who owns an art gallery called sloan fine art. i am the ever so gracious gallery manager and i love it more than i could even begin to say. it makes me so so happy to go to work doing something i absolutely love and am passionate about! check out the website: www.sloanfineart.com and buy something from me someday! ;)
i am also working part time at a hair salon (which so rules cause that equals getting the hair did for free!) and of course, it's a lot of fun hanging out with all the gays. we did have a couple celeb sightings (keira knightley and jennifer esposito). and there is a funny story - one of the stylists at the salon accidentally put jennifer in the book as eva mendes so everyone was all excited and then jennifer showed up (i didn't know who she was) and i said "are you eva?" cause she was wearing big sunglasses and to be honest i don't really know who eva mendes is, either. anyway, mass confusion ensued and then i felt like a dumbass. at least i didn't say are you eva mendes. that would have just been sad. for her i mean :D
i am still enjoying the city (when i'm not actually working) and i will be blogging on a more regular basis, i promise. i am also blogging on a fun, fabu gossip site called kate blogsworth (http://kateblogsworth.wordpress.com). so maybe i can use that as my excuse for not being so on top of this one. that has been so much fun (the girls are crazy like me for the lead singer of interpol and pete doherty - yes, the crackhead who is in jail in england!) don't be hating on him. i may marry him someday ;)
so here is a silly video that i was going to post back in the day (my roomie sent it to me specifically because of the content). i hope it makes you laugh as hard as i did:

shun the non-believer!
i can't help but pee my pants every time i watch this. it's definitely an acquired taste sort of thing:
so i decided i will post a funny video once a week from you tube. it's good for you!
this week marah and i went to my friend alix's opening (it was so crowded, so happy for her!) and then to vampire weekend. they sound like they would do a soundtrack to a really fun and quirky indie movie. the show was so much fun! here is part of oxford comma, listen!
they are these cute little nerdy boys. i wish i could miniaturize them and bring them home and put them on my dresser and have them play their fun songs for me whenever i want! they are going to be big, i'm telling you! i just hope a stylist doesn't get a hold of them and make them too cool for school. i like the whole geek angle.
friday was ridiculous. i love the whole walking in the city thing but not in a torrential downpour. i was soaked up to my thighs and my umbrella didn't do much of anything. my phone died (fyi, please send me your cell #'s since the phone completely pooped out) and i had drama with t-mobile. i officially hate them - total jerks! anyway, i'm now with verizon but still have my same telephone # so no changes there.
later friday it finally stopped typhooning so i decided to head down to marah's b-day party at trash! @ rififi. it was a lot of fun. we cut some rug, got our 80's/indie dance asses on and all that good stuff.
i went to long island yesterday for a visit to erin's house. it was nice and mellow and laid back and involved eggplant parmigiana. i'm so addicted! i came back today and the l train wasn't running so i then brilliantly got lost in the west village for close to 30 minutes before i could finally catch a cab. i am still so clueless!
earlier tonight i heard all this commotion and a helicopter and the cops on their bullhorns. i was just like good night, what the eph is going on? it was just the giants nerds yelling and being excited. i completely forgot about the superbowl! to me it's super boring, anyway.
marah and i may head to a bowie night on tuesday that i've been dying to check out. then i am on my way to dc to grab stuff from storage to move up to nyc. if anyone wants to check out what i'm getting rid of, let me know. we'll be at the storage unit on thursday in va. then it's siouxsie in concert this weekend. woo hoo! i get to get my goth on and i'm making jay and rita jean come with me. be prepared, boys, i'm going to put black eyeliner on both of you! YAY!!!!!!!

i like zombie boys
who like turtles:
i had to post this - he rules!
so i'm also now a brunette - my fabu jeffy cut and colored me on wednesday and i so love it. it looks stellar! any of my nyc friends that need color let me know - jeffy is learning so he'll do it for cheap. he's totally awesome - i wouldn't steer you wrong...
after playing hair salon we went to tre merli in the west village. it was sooo delish! and the drinks weren't half bad, either. then i met marah and we went to the hotel rivington. the bar there is called thor and her friend jason works there and we had a great time (free drinks included - snap!) totally ruled. we then went to some italian place for post midnight snackage where i was served the most random lady fingers sandwich (with the crusts even cut off). it was wonder bread with mozzarella and tapenade and weird. it took 2 seconds to eat so i don't think i'll order that again :(
been interviewing this week - please send good luck my way! so much going on next week, can't wait. vampire weekend (they are so not goth even though they stir up thoughts of black eyeliner and angsty youth), my friend alix's art gallery opening, kathy griffin! if you are in the nyc area on the 30th you should definitely stop by alix's opening. here is her website: http://www.sloanart.com/. she's lower east side suckas!

getting my goth on explained
for those of you who aren't quite up to speed on what it means to get your goth on perhaps you should view the following south park video that hits a little too close to home (i cringed a little while watching it):
and for the love of god it is only 17 degrees right now. so completely unacceptable. with the wind blowing through the city's skyscraper canyons it's so frigid.
perhaps i need a trip out to warmer, cali climes?
MWAH!

he loves me, he loves me not
so i found the most fabu quiz online and maybe i had to tweak the response slightly (so what if i've never done coke!) he loves me 92% and says i'm sooooo! good! ;)
k, so i saw blonde redhead last night with marah and it was absolutely amazing! and, even better yet, my boyfriend played guitar on a song of theirs called 23 (which is my fave blonde redhead song that i can't stop playing over and over even before last night and not just because my boyfriend played it with them!) look how cute he is in his flannel and scarfy close up:
and not so close up (and the entire song!):
marah has a crush on the twin boys in blonde redhead so it was a total night of being all dreamy over cute boys. plus we saw daniel again (we must be we strangely aligned as we seem to show up at places at the same time). he was behind us in line and when the peeps at the venue realized who he was they whisked him away.
here is a picture of marah and i after the show. what a mucho bueno noche! plus we went to a cool club called tis was and there was the best dj and kick ass people watching. we're so going back. we also had dinner at a place called thainy by my house and it was so good!

oh btw
i freaking love the city. every time i walk outside of the apartment i am completely consumed with excitement - i feel so alive here. it's so utterly amazing and i find new, fun, kitschy things every day. it rules!
also - i have seen 3 movies recently that you should all go see if you haven't. they would be:
juno - if you seriously haven't heard about it by now you are weird
sweeney todd - i so heart johnny depp and tim burton
control - about the band joy division and in particular the lead singer, ian curtis, and his sad and untimely death. beautifully filmed and even if you aren't a joy division fan you can appreciate the film.
i'm a happy little camper!

getting my goth on
ok - so i'm not so good about posting again this week. however, i will just get right to it and give you the update from my last posting.
clearly, i was sloshy from my night out last week. it was fun - i have a fave dj here in the city and he was spinning that night at diabolik (the open bar place). yes, it was gothy and yes it was fun - in a very seriously morose and angsty way of course ;) marah and i had another weird guy talking to us. we decided to call him special k as all he did was talk about that drug (and several others) and how they were really amazing. he was really boring and we couldn't wait to find an opportunity to get the f out of there! plus we had gotten our 4 free drinks and were properly tanked so our mission had been accomplished.
so we shimmied on over to the dance floor, cut some rug for a few and then i said bye to my friend and i actually found the way back to marah's house as she was a little too intoxicated to figure it out. i was proud of myself!
saturday we went out to a bar called heathers (it was ok), another bar called angels and kings (loved it and there was a totally cute bartender there) and then on to rififi for another unintentional night of getting our goth on. the people watching was so fantastic there! goth trannies, purple mohawks and loads of boys who were trying to look like robert smith (receding hairline included!) it was so packed, too! who knew!
i also had brunch with jake down on the lower east side at schillers and that was fantastic - i highly recommend the blood-orange and vodka drink. yum!
so today i got a salad from cpk and there was a totally cute boy working there. we smiled at each other and when he walked by later he was totally checking out my.... marc jacobs bag. *sigh* oh well, he has good taste. maybe we can go shopping sometime! ;)
and i know i haven't mentioned this yet but i have the best roomie ever. her name is lauren and she rocks! she likes the cure and the smiths - what else possibly needs to be said? ;) she really is great and i am so happy we get along so well. we are going to join the crunch gym - i am excited to get back in to yoga as they have 5 million yoga classes. plus, we are totally excited to play dodgeball. we are so going to be throwing down and taking names! more on that later :)
no job yet :( please send mojo/good juju my way!

nye dc
so i needed to head down to dc to grab my art and my tv. the oh so fabu scott brooks was babysitting them while i was galavanting about (check out his gorgeous work at: http://www.scottgbrooks.com/).
anyway, i met up with the boys (jay, timmy, casey and michael) and we had din din at u-topia (i think that's what it was called). timmy and i were nearly gored several times by the menacing gothic decoration above our table so that wasn't so great. however, the steak i ordered was. i need to keep reminding myself that i am not employed and to be a little more frugal. i'll try to remember next time ;)
we then went for drinks and caught up and had a lot of fun. the next morning was brunch at the playbill and then more drinking. i then went shopping and then turned in a little early as i was a little alcohol exhausted.
i headed to michael and catrina's for nye and it was great and i got to see a bunch of old friends. as new years is always a bit anti-climatic, it was good to at least have fun while ringing in the new year. i ended up getting accosted by a very drunk gay boy i had just met. he became a bit obsessed with timmy's lip gloss and decided to dump half of it on his lips. then he thought it would be nice to put some on me by kissing it on. he was a little excited with the transfer process and i was laughing and pushing him off and he told me to stop squirming and that he was gay. i was like sweetness, i know you are gay. you are just incredibly sloppy! he got his slobber all over me and when he pulled back timmy was like look at those shiny angelina lips! i laughed and attributed the shine to the mass quantities of saliva all over my face. timmy kept saying here comes the train wreck. train wreck indeed! at least he was good for some entertainment value :)
oh! driving down to dc i got pulled over in md. yes, i was going 20 miles an hour over. OI! the cop was really cute so he made me even more nervous. he was so dreamy! he asked if i had even noticed that i had passed by him at 70 and i told him no. and then he asked if i knew what md cop cars look like and i said no again. i totally spaced! i couldn't believe i hadn't noticed him. and i was totally sweating bullets since i just had that other speeding ticket. but i'm wondering if they never reported it since i did the online defensive driving class (a lot of good it did me, right?) ;) anyway, he came back to the car and gave me a freaking warning! i couldn't believe that i got out of it. so of course, i only went between 5-10 miles over the speed limit coming home. i think speed limits are stupid and should never be below 65 mph. or we should just be like the autobahn. annoying!
anyway, now i am all caught up! MWAH to everyone and i will report on my city adventures more regularly moving forward :)

we then went for drinks and caught up and had a lot of fun. the next morning was brunch at the playbill and then more drinking. i then went shopping and then turned in a little early as i was a little alcohol exhausted.
i headed to michael and catrina's for nye and it was great and i got to see a bunch of old friends. as new years is always a bit anti-climatic, it was good to at least have fun while ringing in the new year. i ended up getting accosted by a very drunk gay boy i had just met. he became a bit obsessed with timmy's lip gloss and decided to dump half of it on his lips. then he thought it would be nice to put some on me by kissing it on. he was a little excited with the transfer process and i was laughing and pushing him off and he told me to stop squirming and that he was gay. i was like sweetness, i know you are gay. you are just incredibly sloppy! he got his slobber all over me and when he pulled back timmy was like look at those shiny angelina lips! i laughed and attributed the shine to the mass quantities of saliva all over my face. timmy kept saying here comes the train wreck. train wreck indeed! at least he was good for some entertainment value :)
oh! driving down to dc i got pulled over in md. yes, i was going 20 miles an hour over. OI! the cop was really cute so he made me even more nervous. he was so dreamy! he asked if i had even noticed that i had passed by him at 70 and i told him no. and then he asked if i knew what md cop cars look like and i said no again. i totally spaced! i couldn't believe i hadn't noticed him. and i was totally sweating bullets since i just had that other speeding ticket. but i'm wondering if they never reported it since i did the online defensive driving class (a lot of good it did me, right?) ;) anyway, he came back to the car and gave me a freaking warning! i couldn't believe that i got out of it. so of course, i only went between 5-10 miles over the speed limit coming home. i think speed limits are stupid and should never be below 65 mph. or we should just be like the autobahn. annoying!
anyway, now i am all caught up! MWAH to everyone and i will report on my city adventures more regularly moving forward :)

new york cares
so i spent christmas eve with my friend marah. we had such a blast - we went to beauty bar where we met a few goofy boys. i got really drunk and started making fun of marah and the boy she was talking to. marah reminded me to use my inside voice as i didn't realize i was shouting "marah has a boyfriend" three times over at the top of my lungs. i kind of feel bad because my drunk ass started the conversation and then i decided i was bored and moved on to the boys sitting to my right and may have abandoned her with him for a bit. but it's all good!
we went to veselka after and determined we needed an emergency phrase for when we were stuck with a not so groovy boy. in our lushy state we decided saying "oklahoma!" or "challah" would work well.
so two nights later we went back to beauty bar and i was stuck talking to a guy who was less than pleasant and a bit angry. i was trying to get marah's attention and was finally able to smack her. she ended up being the trashed one that night and didn't use her inside voice and started screaming "oklahoma!" at me. the guy got kind of pissed (understandably) and so i then decided that marah and i needed to pick a new emergency word/phrase. her friend barak was with us and he even said oklahoma was a bit obvious/harsh so we determined the new phrase is "can i borrow your lipstick?" i'll let you know how that works out ;)
marah and i also went to see the setting suns the week prior (the drummer from interpol) and we saw the guitarist from blonde redhead and daniel from interpol and that was pretty cool. although it was kind of funny - i wonder if daniel is a bit of an attention whore. he parked himself right next to the door to get out of the stage area to the bar right where everyone would have to pass him to leave. i smiled at him cause i thought it was a little funny and of course, i was a tad bit drunk as well.
i'm a little concerned with potentially becoming an alcoholic by living in the city. i think my liver actually moaned at me last week. i think i would like to be put on the liver transplant list. i am genetically predisposed being irish and russian and all, so i think i should be put at the front of the line ;) does anyone want to vouch for me?
YAY! moving in to my new place tomorrow!
MWAH!

visit to l.a.
was so much fun. i got to hang with annie and liz mcgrath had her opening at billy shire. it was great and there were a bunch of people who showed up. namely, annie's crush, ryan gosling. it was so cute! it reminded me of when i met my boyfriend in vegas and how exciting that was so i was so happy for her. i headed home early and hadn't heard from her and so i sent her a text asking if she was making out with her new boyfriend. i was so hoping for it! here is liz's show: http://www.billyshirefinearts.com/current.html
then i stopped by jason houchen's showing at la luz de jesus. jason pants is extremely talented and his stuff is so fantastic - he does wood burnings and they are even more amazing in person. if you are in l.a. you should go check out his show. here is where you can find the pieces: http://www.laluzdejesus.com/
i also got to see laurel and natashia which is always fun. it was great catching up with the west coast kids!
