Can Collecting

When the weather is nice, it's a good time for can collecting on the Upper East Side. I forget where I shot this, but somewhere way uptown where aluminum cans and plastic bottles are plentiful.

Pink Party Boy

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days Are Over

This single color outfit thing seems to be the style for May 2009. The sick pink checkered slip-on Vans straight out of Jeff Spicoli's Fast Times at Ridgemont High sneaker collection didn't go unnoticed either. Don't ask me why you might be walking around town wearing a party hat, but I can only guess it's a birthday party.

I missed this one too.

What I didn't miss is the latest single by Florence and the Machine (OK, I know they've been hot for a while so I'm a couple months late, but you haven't heard it either). They're selling out all over the UK. People are calling her the best vocalist discovered in the past year. Listen for yourself. Here you can even sing along...

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Tiptoeing Down Park Avenue

More tulips on Park Avenue. These fine flowers are pictured at full blown and seemingly shouting up to the sky for more rain.

Blue Red White Red White

A colorful star on the Upper East Side. My sister would like this.

Andy Warhol Lived Here

Walking down 66th Street this evening, I noticed a small placard on the side of a townhouse. As I walked over to take a picture of it, I was amazed to realize that it was the 27 room home where Andy Warhol lived from 1974 until his death in 1987. It's for sale for $38 million. His other Manhattan home is also for sale priced at $6 million. Might as well buy them both.
