Subway Series

96th Street, Manhattan

Kenny the Station Agent at 96th Street. He is excellently informative.


I should hope Kenny's position should not become one like the picture above: sadly, the former place of a station booth.

Red, peach, and brown
The Million dollar stare ;)


Exquisite beauty brightens the train to no end...


This is one of my favourites

Since the Cold Weather Refuses to Give...

Seriously. Where is Spring?!! lol. I've been waiting for MONTHS (we all have here in the northeast!) but the tease days we've had recently are enough to set. it. off.  Argh.
*sigh* Well, here are some vintage fur coats styled by some warm New Yorkers and pictures of buildings made by the talents of which no longer exist.

How utilitarian

Say, Ahhh....


This coat she's had for "years and years" is also reverse-able

Love the black pumps

These guys had the best attitude. I snagged their picture right before my station stop and they were amiable and went immediately into picture-taking mode :) ha! I guess you have to be, going out with artistically-rendered surgical face masks. It was a rough day in NYC today so i hope this brightens your day a little!

NYC Snow Days: a 'double feature' entry!

Gorgeous and totally inspired


One of the most delightful models I've had the chance to meet! It does make a difference to meet good peoples on the street...especially on a cold snowy day.

Bryce.


I really liked the flow of this ensemble. I first saw her walking on the platform in platforms: long dress, long hair, flowy scarf and solid signature pieces.


variations in texture...



Looks like a little alien or frog ;)

Formal and Casual meet on the A train

At length

Super cool mix: how he tied the belt (casual) and folded the scarf (formal).

Love the composition and bold statement on length in the coat.

Fashion Designer on the left. Visual Artist on the right.

The salmon-coloured belt is his design.

Great choice of boot with a little naturally-worn denim

SOLID GOLD

Gregory

We spoke a fair amount: where he performs (MSG, Rock Center, Times Square), how he settled on gold (it suited him and stood out "some guys do silver, I do gold"), competition and camaraderie between mimes (Times Square Cowboy got mad at him for stealing the show), how he maintains his look (re-applies once a day), how he gets that paint off after a day of work (plain old soap and water), how long he can stay still (2 hours and 35 minutes!!!!!), and how after an experience with a bad manager at Chi Chi's in Philly he decided he'd never work for anyone again....10 years of miming and he hasn't looked back. People were chatting up with us once we got to talking. A father of two, leaning back looking tough said in his strong Carribean accent how his kids would "loooove this guy."  After i asked about his signature sound effects Gregory was kind enough to give us a mini performance. People on the train were smiling. All told, it was a good hang. I sorta felt like a kid too; like i was talking to a snowman or something. As would be expected....

....he left pieces of himself behind.

Until the next....
