Williamsburg Fashion Weekend Recap
Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn hosted this year's Williamsburg Fashion Weekend on February 20th-21st. The final show Saturday night was a collaboration between local designers from Treehouse and Sodafine. The models were all female musicians from many familiar bands and projects; Taigaa, Young People, Boyskout, Gogol Bordello, and others. At a staggered pace, each woman strutted onto the stage, picked up an instrument, and began building a cacophony of sound that no one in the crowd was prepared for. I was one of these performers, second onto the stage, contributing from behind a drum kit. Our energy on stage reflected from the audience- I could feel their excitement. 10 fashioned out female drummers were rocking out on one stage together. It can be tough to get a rise out of a Williamsburg crowd but they had definitely never seen anything like this before and they were floored!
"The last show of the night was a memorable joint venture between Treehouse Brooklyn’s Sirius and Sodafine, and oh my! Until there are high-flying trapeze artists on swings, and a slow but sure build up of a moving, all-female instrumental ensemble of models wearing sassy versions of marching band dresses like this, any other fashion party is only practice, a mere prologue." www.sentimentalistmag.com

Brooklyn Wildlife
Photo prior to horse-back riding at Kensington Stables in Prospect Park Brooklyn. Ponies and city sounds make for a precarious mix- and AWAY we went.
Two pigeons took shelter from the cold inside the Public Assembly loft in Williamsburg. I wanted to keep them but I wasn't willing to clean up all the scattered poop piles they would continue to leave. Getting them back outside was a hilarious adventure of gaining and losing their trust again and again.

Free Beer After Brunch..That sounds perfect!
A Magical Park Slope Sunday:
Cappuccino at Gorilla Coffee-
then Brunch at a favorite Slope spot-
followed by feeding pigeons your leftover toast-
while walking down 5th ave toward Ellis Bar-
for free Brooklyn Lager from 3pm to 4pm.
Ellis (627 5th Avenue btw. 17th & 18th, South Park Slope) is a bit of a walk and its cold out, but free tastes so good and makes a Sunday Magical.
