Mixtape: Opening at Studio 717...turnout was fabulous. Missed the Lorick afterparty, but heard it was a blast!

V-Day festivities included a visit to Welcome to the Johnsons, followed by booze and bull riding (twice) at Mason Dixon. Came out of the night with bruised thighs and several new friends...or should I say fans?

Last night was Dossier Journal's Nomia Launch party @ Santos.

Tonight...crashing in on karaoke at Planet Rose. Possibly hit up Santos after...




In light of Fashion Week 09...also tonight, Cassette afterparty @ Chloe 81 on Ludlow.

PDN Photo Annual Submission; The Farm House

Submission deadline: Midnight 1/26/09
Submitted: 11:50 pm 1/26/09

Money is tight and I was on the fence about whether to submit, but like most that submitted, wanted to see what would or could happen.

This particular project has a very personal meaning and purpose. Those that know me well, know I am quite nostalgic. When walking into the farm house, distinct childhood memories of sleepovers with grandpa and grandma and of family holidays at the farm come flooding back. The house is run down and will likely not last another 5 years. The still standing memories will be lost along with it's contents. This project was my attempt in visually documenting those memories. These are only two of several...

Foreign lands on the horizon...

Recently acquired Rosetta Stone along with ten languages. Italian won the battle over French due to it's crossover into Spanish, and Portuguese.

The plan is to speak the language fluently by the end of the year and move to a villa, where I will divide my time between Italy and Spain, eventually working my way to Brazil, where my only worry will be which beach to catch some sun, and which cafe' to sip my espresso.

I also plan to win the lottery, own a loft in Manhatten, and marry Adrian Grenier.
