It’s so intrusive, how paparazzi will hound ‘celebs’ who are just trying to ‘step out’ to Starbucks or Pilates class or, umm, refill their strawberry margarita or whatever, but Heidi’s always been really gracious about it. Don’t hate the player, hate the game and Us Weekly.

The very very good life: Garden lurk! And our booze is healthy! Because it’s 60% fresh mango, watermelon, lime, and/or strawberries. Yup that’s how it works.

Because it’s her birthday, and she can do what she wants!

The little Puerto Rican girls next door were VERY interested in how our BBQ was going. They were hamming and doing dances for us, but when we acknowledged them and waved, they would squeal and run away… to reappear 10 seconds later, of course! #Ridgewood #Bushwick #BBQ #cincodemayo #kids #neighbors #citylife #NYC

Here we have Jesus checking his text messages. And has someone dropped off a CASSEROLE for him?! Not a bad gig if you can get it. #ProspectHeights #Brooklyn #NYC #niceneighbors

In every New York neighborhood the strays are dominated by a ‘boss’ — the largest, strongest tomcat. But, except for the boss, there is not much organization in the street’s cat society. Within the society, however, there are three ‘types’ of cats — wild cats, Bohemians, and part-time grocery store (or restaurant) cats.
—Gay Talese, in New York: A Serendipiter’s Journey, 1961.

I can’t imagine why THE PRINT SHOP’s business never took off. #ridgewood #bushwick #NYC #typography #typographycrimes #DIY #fonts

Upon scoring an old garage space in #Ridgewood, one is compelled to bask in its convenient, decrepit glory. This is best done while wearing all animal prints at 5am. Our nosy neighbors need some new stoop topics! #NYC #Queens #Brooklyn #Bushwick #Ridgewick #parkingwars

“We got a badass over here!” No, really, this little Polish girl is a total badass— wearing sparkly hot pink sunglasses that match her bike rims and a boy’s t-shirt. Her mom and siblings were a block behind her, eating her dust! It looks like she might be NYC’s youngest female bike mechanic, too. If I see her again I’m going to recruit her for TimesUp! #bikes #bikenyc #Polish #girl #badass #ridgewood #queens #NYC #trickbike #bmx #timesup #girlsonbikes #badass #likeaboss (Taken with Instagram)
