Amos Mac exhibits at Munch Gallery

Munch Gallery right across the street from our salon is debuting their new show this Friday. It's a photography exhibition by Amos Mac.

In his own words he says "I’m an artist who photographs the dynamic, the gender rebellious, the under-represented and beyond though voyeuristic, snap-shot styled portraits. Preferring to shoot models in their personal spaces over a studio, the photos I create have been described as “bright, saturated images of people and places who look fucked up and beautiful in equal measure”(Amos's Blog)
Make sure you checkout the gallery within the next month :)

Neighbor: Babycakes & Plain Cake Donut Recipe


Back in 2009, we wrote a short post on our next door neighbor, Babycakes! (we actually share the same 248 Broome address). Now, their business is booming, expanding to the west coast, and I just found out they are releasing a new cookbook, Babycakes Covers the Classics (amazon.com, $16.50). If you're sitting at home craving one of founder Erin McKenna's delicious sweets be sure to try out one of her gluten-free vegan recipes. She reveals how to make your own version of plain cake donuts.

Wearing skirts as dresses

I've been seeing Maxi dresses and skirts everywhere on the runway, stores and the streets. They are perfect for this breezy weather. They look good on all body types, because it enlgates the body and hides our problem areas discreetly. I would say maxi skirts are more versatile than dresses because you can pull one up, cinch it with a belt and call it a new dress! Great wardrobe pieces are always convertible and versatile.
Free People even has a skirt showcasing the five different ways to style their convertible maxi. Their website gives me such great ideas.

If you're shopping around, our neighbors TG-170Foley & Corinna, and James Coviello carry similar skirts that are right on trend. Do you guys have a preference to maxi dresses or skirts?

Clog It!

Everyone's wondering if clogs are in for this spring and summer. The new trend seems to be clogs. What do you guys think about them? I can't decide if I can pull them off but on the right girl I think it looks stunning. 

We want to feature a designer who sells an amazing array of clogs at the Brooklyn market on the weekends. NinaZ, a Swedish designer creates these comfortable yet stylish shoes. They are made individually by Swedish shoemakers so their craftsmanship is nothing less than top-quality. Check out some of her shoes:

Artist Jami Goddess Exhibit Opening


“I create art because it feels good, and it centers my restless, crazy mind. I feel like I am where I am supposed to be whenever I am drawing. There is a certain meditative quality in the redundant gestures and sounds of pencil scratching on paper. My art work depicts the inverse relationship of my desires and dreams with my restless nature and wickedness."





The art work of Jami Goddess features sensual, sexy women that display an implicit, haunting emotion, overcoming adversity and pain but with a touch of macabre sarcasm. The female figures have been described as dark and surreal; one reviewer went as far as calling the women she creates post-apocalyptic pinups.

She also illustrated and designed all the label art work for Leucadia Red, a private wine label (www.leucadiared.com), of which she is also the co-owner and brand manager. The wine is being sold at wine bars up and down the coast of California. She has recently teamed up with the Satin Dollz, Hollywood's own USO pin-up entertainment troupe to combine live and still art into a fabulous event coming soon to Los Angeles. Her work is displayed all over the San Diego area and in New York City. Check out her website at www.goodgoddess.net.

Join us for her opening at Fringe this Thursday, April 28th at 8 p.m.

Kelsey's Trip to SXSW!

About two weeks ago I road tripped down to Austin Texas for the music portion of South By South West.  I was very excited to see many of the southern states for the first time.  On our way down we passed through the beautiful mountains of North Carolina and stopped in Ashville to get some much needed rest and really good pizza. We also got to catch this beautiful sunset over the blossoming trees.
