movie night: horror vacui

I just love that you can get on the internet, and find someone who’s had the same thought as you, instantly. Its made me a 21st century gurl. I can’t imagine doing without that ability to instantly know or learn on the library of all libraries: the interwebs! Anyway, I  felt like watching a movie that would […]


karma row: new york, new york

On my way home tonite, I spent over an hour with this homeless eldery Polish woman, a fixture on Manhattan Ave. for the 16 years I’ve lived in Greenpoint/Brooklyn. I know from a lot of past experience that giving her a few dollars often means taking real time with her. I go to the bodega for her […]

This is a mishmash post cuz I’ve been so remiss in my duties as mayor of dear old janestown – population of 1, ha – that I wanted to share something.

One day I’ld love to tweak them (including […]

Pressing my ear against the radio, swooning in some nocturnal communion with this man I’d begun to revere. The influence […]


fashion matters: strike a pose, your ebay voguer

Increasingly, as I peruse – or is it cruise? – Ebay and Etsy, as I so often compulsively do, I’m finding really studied poses. Weird campy awkward ones, especially for clothes. And everyone knows I love all things weird and awkward – not to mention clothes. Maybe its the selfie-meme syndrome, but its like these […]


chatty cathy: online dating and the endless double-standards

Here’s an exchange from an online dating site I found amusing, one that reminded me how much double-standards persist (and read that link if you doubt me). I reply here in caps just for fun, no point in further discussion as ultimately people will like who-what they like.  The hypocrisy in this one though was impossible to pass up:) ENJOY! (And btw, […]
