A walk through Halloween

Yesterday was Halloween and as soon as we stepped out of the front door we saw all these kids dressed up running all over the sidewalk seeking their sweets. They were gathered in bunches or tended by parents. They went in the stores, they knocked on the front doors and they stopped people on the their way. They said "Trick or treat". Once I took a quick look at their candy-basket...guys, it was full, it was totally full of every kind of wrapped little sweets. That thing weight at least 3-4 Kg (about 6-7 pounds). Then, people wonder why here there's a problem of obesity since childhood. For chrissake, how are children supposed to not become the fattest children in the world with 7 pounds of treats ready to be ate?
And this was my criticism for this month. Now, let's change over to some pictures I took for the event. Actually I couldn't take so many because of my camera whose battery was dying.

Look, I run into Marie Antoniette....or maybe her mother

Did you see the movie "Requiem for a dream"? Yes, that's it.

And now, SHOOT THE FREAK. Shoot him before he move.

These were the Woman and the Man In Black who shot all of that

...Meanwhile In Florence...

I finally have enough material for a new post. It's been a while, and Stefano's been doing all the work. But here I present you:

These are two people me and Pirlo met on our way back from the cinema. I forgot to ask their names but they were cool:




Funny story. Me and Pirlo were walking around and found two realy cool people. We took theyre picture and when it got around to telling them the name of the blog, it turned out the girl was the one from the photoshoot at Societe Anonyme. Dumbass that I am, I again forgot to ask for names, but they were awesome. The guy had a Velvet Underground/Andy Warhol shirt, which definately makes him awesome:




This Is Valentina. I met her this morning around p. Ferrucci and she was really nice:

My friend Jack:

Alter Clothing Store

I just wanted to point out a clothing store named ALTER which I found really interesting.
They are at 109 Franklyn street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's a small store but you can find everything you need to make your look great.
You'll find Cheapmonday, Kitchen orange, Kill city, SChmove Jamaica Derby, This old thing?.....they have marvelous dresses for women and rings, necklaces, bags and every kind of accessories.
I highly recommend you to pass by there and to make the acquaintance of those two nice guys who own and manage the "maison". If you think it is too far, then just take a look at their website.

This is Tommy one of the owner of the store.



I'll see you there

Into the Music

So, here it goes.

We (me and my assistant) had to meet Allison and Olga at the subway stop of Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. Initially the plan was to go to some party nearby. I think that would have been one of those hipster parties in a super cool loft with a lot of those red and blue colored plastic cups filled with any kind of alcohol.
In the end, we didn't go there.
We were standing on the sidewalk for a while still thinking about what to do. I enjoyed staying there though, I could take a lot of picture of people passing by us.
Here some pictures:

Brandon and Suzanne



We found out there was a concert by calling a friend who was going there. Let's walk over there.
We got to a kind of industrial neighborhood by the coast in a street surrounded by huge fenced in warehouses.
Here a weird sign in one of the building we passed by along the way:



On that street we would see around several vans parked right in front of a small door stuck in the wall of one the warehouses. There were a few people hanging around over there.
Ok, we got it, here was the concert. So we asked the bouncer what it was about in there. He said there were seven bands playing in a row and that the cost of admission was from $7 to $12 - that means that you were willing to pay or $7 or up, I would shrug -, that was pretty good, I mean seven bands in just one night.
At that point we would wait for our friend Evan before coming in and since we could stay right in front of the door because of the whiny bouncer, we would step down the street till next cross street. There we met Evan with other two friend who said that the concert wasn't there, but right behind the corner. So there were two venues hosting two different events in a range of 100 feet.
We would join a bunch of people in front of these two small doors from which the music was coming out. We would get the wrong door again, our concert was next door.
Now there were three different venues hosting three different shows in a range of 100 feet.
From then on I would spend all my time going back and forth from one room to the other.
Here some pictures of what occured that night:

This was the first venue we entered and where three bands were playing one after another.
There was a main room with the stage and the bar and a couple of small rooms which looked like this:
First room



Second room


This was the third band we saw in this venue.



And here a guy who named Matt



This was the next door. It was kind of a loft, an open space where there was a whole kitchen by one of the walls of the room and a couch at the bottom where a couple was playing....and also a dog.
Here the two guys:



After this first couple finished, another couple would start to settle for its live set.
Here one of the girls from the second one. Her name is Chiara and she's originally from a small town between Florence and Siena.



Well Guys, it seems I had a fucking awesome night and I definitely fell in love with this fucking city.

The Man of the Week

Maybe, the Man of the Month.....I'll figure it out.

I caught him at Union Square in Manhattan. He was speaking on the phone and when I asked him if I could take a picture, he said to his phone interlocutor that he had to be photographed and he immediately hung up.

Look how handsome this guy is.

Justin

Got it

Guys, guess who I met this afternoon at the subway stop.
He was Michael. Micheal Angelo.
He is a skater apparently.
Whatever, this is him.

MICHAEL ANGELO
(this is crazy and pretty cool, I'd love to be named Michael Angelo)

Pit Stop

This is a slice of lifestyle in Greenpoint (Brooklyn).

Yesterday, I had a delicious dinner (well, too many vegetablas for me, but it was ok) at Allison and Adena's house. They had wine (I do not drink wine), they had beer (I do not drink beer) and a cake.....this cake



Guys, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't stoned, but the company was great and I had a lot of fun.
Here are the pictures of last night's characters.

These are the two girls who hosted the event...the radiant cheese expert Allison and the enchanting Adena

Allison



Adena (sorry, I didn't notice that the camera moved)

EYE-CATCHING

Second ride

Hello boys and girls. Today I was our blogger's assistant as we went around Green Point, Brooklyn looking for out-there threads. Since it was sunny, lots of ladies were rocking short baby-doll like dresses, and the guys had their tried and true hipster gear on: ratty t-shirts, tight jeans, and of course, ray bans wayfarer. Some of these Saturday strollers were open about having their pictures taken--some acted as if they had been expecting us all day, why wouldn't you want to take my picture? While others passed us right by--wayyyy too hip to be photographed for their hipness. That's fine, some people need to always feel ahead of the curve. But for those of you who did pose for us, thank you!

Thank you, assistant. Before taking a look at the outfits of the day, I wanted to say the street Bedford Avenue in williamsburg, is a nonstop runway show.

See ya

This is Vana, who we caught walking by with her friends rolling a clothes rack and rocking an accent from the British Isles (?).

Vana



This is Brandon, I caught him crossing a street and he was really chill....

Look at Celine, look what a marvelous dress she's got on.

Here's Jackie, who felt completely comfortable in front of the camera. Her buddy, a shy, soft-souled hipster preffered not to be photographed, but offered Jackie instead.
