GPOYW Banana Hat Edition thanks to some fun fellas from Tumblr and BuzzFeed.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

This is quite possibly the exact thing I needed to come across on this gray Monday afternoon. Reason #4,567 why I love tumblr.

I landed in NYC in the late 90s and Lakeside Lounge was one of the places I would go to with friends. Back then, we went for the live music, cheap drinks, photo booth, video games and jukebox. It was, hands down, one of my favorite go to dive bars up until they closed their doors in April. Sad.

Hello, sunshine.
I’m back at MTV HQ project managing Fantasy Election ‘12 - an online game on top of Election 2012. I am super happy to be working on this project and love that I look out a window (whoo hoo!).
BUT. I am not stoked to be back in Times Square daily. And to top it off, there seems to be something going on with the building’s 44th Street exit at the end of the day, so we’re all forced to funnel out of the 45th Street exit even though my subway entrance is closer to 44th Street. Major bummer. Now you may think, “one block?! She’s whining about having to walk one more block?!” but here’s a little look into what the corner of 45th and Broadway looks like in the evening. Blargh.
P.S. Take a closer look at those faces. NOBODY seems happy to be in Times Square when it’s like this.
I ran into a shoot on St. Marks and Avenue A this morning. EV Grieve thinks it was for Maybelline (which makes sense since I saw a model chick up against the yellow wall posing and such). Highlight: stuffed panda and blow up alligator chilling on set, clearly waiting for their closeups.
Do you understand? I am no ordinary woman. My dreams come true.
Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.
The photos are definitely worth the click through.
