The other night I saw this documentary, which was fantastic. That said, it also made me incredibly sad. Not so much because they show Bill as essentially a loner, and a workaholic, but more because he is a benchmark of an era (or really many eras) of New York that no longer exists.

To The Man With Dog Flirting With The Clerk At The Bookstore,

Hoping you got her number,

Thanks to Tavon B, for the heads up!

So Broad City is my new favoritest thing.  Once you start watching it’s ridiculously addictive.  Here are some highlights:

Ok, so I got behind in posting picks of cool people for fashion week.  CALM DOWN!  It’s just my blog. It’s fine, really.  Anyway, here are a bunch of cool looking people I saw during Fashion Week and/or when I was eating Taco’s in Soho.

Full disclosure: these are all from when I was eating tacos.  Sorry.  Not!

So in honor of fashion week, I thought I’d post pics of people who look pretty flipping awesome.  First up: 7o’s Back to Africa Hipster Chic Lady. Well done.  Fashion!
