Barbies and Fashion, a perfect combination especially during New York’s famed Fashion Week. My daughter and I had the time of our lives in Barbie’s Dream Closest. My daughter and I were able to rummage through Barbie’s infinite (and life-size) dream closet and try on the many, many outfits ranging from business clothes to haute couture. The [...]
This past weekend, we were out walking through Chinatown and came across a Dragon in celebration of the Chinese New Year. I just love the pink and white colors.
I happened upon this statue of Gandhi during the snowstorm that hit New York on Saturday.

I ran across this series of Balloons by Matt Sheridan Smith at Metro Tech in Brooklyn, New York. On the face of it, I just thought what a weird juxtaposition of balloon figures but according to the placard, the figures represent commodities traded on the international futures market (huh! how often does art meets the [...]
