More fun Williamsburg graffiti. Found this painted outside of the Drum Shop.

Ain’t that the truth!!!

I’ve recently moved to a new neighborhood in Brooklyn. I am loving it!~ Williamsburg tends to be a bit more creative and eclectic and I have been taking all sorts of pics of the wacky art I pass each day. Case in point, this ATM Art I spotted on Metropolitan avenue the other day.  I think it’ great! I wish all ATM’s were given an artistic face lift, then I wouldn’t feel so ripped off when they charge me to take money out!

A tattoo kit for your child from our favorite website People of Walmart. Now we know what to get our niece for Christmas!

Well I am happy to report my Danish is coming along nicely. It was a wise move to start taking classes! You can only go so far on your own and I feel it really helps to be amongst other people struggling with learning a new language. One thing I did not expect from taking a Danish class is how much I have learned about my own language. I never thought about why we say things the way we do in English. It’s been challenging but also a lot of fun.

The people in my class are very diverse. Everyone is learning the language for a different reason, but we all have one thing in common-we all enjoy learning about Danish culture. Our teacher is from Copenhagen, her name is Camilla (it seems-all girls are named Camilla in Scandinavia) and she is very sweet, but tough! She really forces us to speak Danish since almost of the class is taught in Danish.

Overall, the experience has been very positive and I intend to stick with it. I will keep you posted on my progress!

I think this Dead Fly Art is hilarious.

Not sure who created these adventurous insects but the writing is Swedish.

Hahahaha!

Have you ever watched that show Survivor Man on the Science channel? This outdoor enthusiast is dropped off in the middle of nowhere all by himself, with very little gear, no food, water, etc… Basically he puts himself each week in a new survival situation and films himself err… surviving. Each show he’s in a different location: could be middle of the African plains, a Georgia swamp or the Canadian Rockies. Wherever he goes you know it’s going to be a remote place known for it’s harsh environment. He brings random things with him on the trip, usually whatever he has in his pockets at the time. One show, I think it was the one he did in the swamp he used a stale Doritos chip to make a fire. Bad Ass.

My new favorite blog is People of WalMart.We’ve all seen these folks draggin ass around WalMart. The cross dressing homeless, the camel toe shorts, the spandex sporting obese, they’re all here for your enjoyment.  No need to drive to WalMart for some prime people watching, POW brings the people watching to you.

This has been a traumatic hair year for me. After 7 years of dying my hair black, I decided it was time to go back to something resembling my normal hair color, brown. I loved my hair. It was about 8 inches past my shoulders. It was just on the verge of getting seriously long, you know? I know your not supposed to love something like your hair but it was one of the traits I have always liked about myself so any change to it was going to take some test of faith (I am agnostic by the way).

Oy vey! Throw a designer label on it and people will wear anything. Opening Ceremony’s new Where the Wild Things Are collection, created in collaboration with director Spike Jonze is just plain silly! Listen, I loved the book as a child too, but who wants to see a grown man out in a club dressed as a big furry monster? Spike Jonze get over yourself. Even a clueless hipster can see through this shameless promotional gimmick. Fair warning to any of you who are unfortunate enough to cross my path whilst wearing one of these ridiculous outfits; I will punch you in the face.

Thanks to Amy Odell at The Cut for bringing this fashion travesty to light.

Hell to the Yeah! Reebok is making Wonder Woman sneakers now?? Maybe this is the year I finally dress as Wonder Woman for Halloween.
