Street Art

I already have a torrid love affair with the city

but now that I'm an intern

I love every single minute I get to spend outside even more

working in an office

is actually quite alienating

maybe it's just the sociology major in me

or maybe its because the light in my nook is out

but this weekend, I got in some much needed QT time with the streets

and encountered some street art that really made me happy

anything might be beautiful after staring at an Excel workbook for 7 hours at a time

but this stuff is actually great.

This sexy man inspires me.

Gotta love some divalicious attitude & a bit of scandal

Gritty High Renaissance in the big city? yes please!

Trifecta=new best word.

I wish there could be a pizza place, Thai restaurant & Cold Stone all in one,

that would be my dream trifecta.

No words needed. This speaks the truth.

This truck couldn't have been in a better place. Love dollar stores, forever.

LES masterpiece.

My fave.

Paper Summer

The other day I was just a girl

walking around the Meat Packing District

resumes in hand, looking for a hostess job,

or god forbid, another retail job

when I saw this Vespa

and it was beautiful, I looked at it and felt instantly transported to Miami

I mean, cmon, look at that palm tree and those aloof outdoor diners

it screams Miami

the sad thing is, that I had to snap a shot of this beautiful, shiny, bubblegum baby

while the owner was standing right behind it, about to board,

with apparent admiration, spiked with envy,

I dream of this Vespa

I also dreamed of not having to scour the city looking for a summer job,

that dream came true

I am now Paper Magazine's newest intern

I'm pretty much speechless

I've been seeing a lot of monarch butterflies lately,

and whenever I see them something good always follows

there were a lot of monarchs around before my first kiss

way back when,

thank god for butterflies, and amazing opportunities.
