this was the original flagship store, adjacent to Prohibit. I miss working in this tiny little pink closet. heard the lease was up at the mulberry street store. bummed a piece of my history has dissolved in new york. one of the best jobs i ever had. xx

new york, ny. january-february, 2009.

i stole this for tonys  birthday. its a shark but we pretended it was a dolphin.

this was the background on my bberry but it made me miss new york too much so i changed it to balloons. balloons never make me sad.

last time i saw this guy i told him i would pay $50 to put him back in jail. i didnt mean it, i was just mad.  and he was acting stupid. we have the same birthday by the way. he calls us his mothers. been looking out for this kid since the late 90s. be good up there.

will always miss this one. ps. that restaurant sucks btw.

best. beach. towel. ever.

rumspringa?

beth had this in a framed collage at her house. my business card from 1998-99. printed on vellum. made me cry a little that someone so amazing can have so much belief and faith in me. someday i will get back to those hidden talents i keep hiding from the world.

that was the tree that fell on my car. stupid hurricane earl.

went to bushwick to watch gossip girl at 3am. saw this on the way to the train in the morning.

teanys with yourBoyPkeets. i bought him a gift certificate one year for his birthday & he got mad because apparently he gave a fake name to the people there when he ordered his food to go.

la esquina with with my favourite blue eyed mexican.

burton party with the babes.

sent this to a dude in STT who used to hang here. i think his reply was “oh i miss those hangovers.”

niagra, your photobooth is way too small. and overpriced.

hot 97 everyday thats my word.

i miss street gold. this was in soho. and it was all classical music. awesome.

lombardis with kanger. i always feel bad when i go to get pizza with people cos i only eat vegetables.

waiter who hasnt seen me in a year & a half, “Let me guess, greek salad no onion add a side of grilled chicken.”

me, “YES! you still remember!”

if i could only eat one food for the rest of my life it might be the chipotle salad bowl.

i felt like a tourist taking pictures of nike ads. but there just is not that much stimulus going on down here on this island.

that purple punch. avenue A.

gia! she is getting so big. her & her sister took me into their room and showed me the polaroid they still have of me with them. it was taken 4 years ago when this little monkey face still rode around in a stroller.

this little duder here has the most amazing parents in all of nyc. takota levi neumann, you are one lucky little man.

harrisburg, pa. cap city son. dont really miss that so much. but i do miss the shit outta my hometown friends and my little brother. and they have chipotle now so….

i miss frankenstein & tallulah.

i miss my bike. a lot.

i miss brunch at cafe mogador. on weekdays.

i miss my overpriced tiny apartment on allen street.

i miss this guy more than he knows.

i miss all my stuff. and might miss it more when i realize i sold/gave away/threw out most of it.

i miss sitting by this window smoking parliament lights. i do not miss the insane crackhead from the half way house next to my window that would wave to me. i think his name was speedy or some shit. ps. i miss tevez & chipotle runs with ponce too.

i miss that bathroom. even though people would call me from the thompson LES & tell me they could see me sitting at my window smoking. i miss that dumb pink vacuum i bought too.

i miss morrissey shows.

this was the farthest away i had ever been. but that was okay because it was carnegie hall. and it was still epic. (thanks krissy).

i miss babysitting cool young french photographer’s bebe’s in the bowery hotel.

i miss being able to hug or cry on this girl any time i wanted.

i miss throwing whatever goddamn kind of party i pleased at bars all over the city with my friends.

i miss this one being the diva.

i miss going to see rom-com’s with this guy.

i miss riding my bike home thru the LES after closing a bar and the light looking like this.

i miss micheladas, guac & chips, spicy grapefruit margaritas, and this neighborhood before it blew up & you couldn’t eat here whenever the fuck you wanted.

i miss laying in bed watching true hollywood stories of kate moss with this one.

i miss that trash can. and i miss always buying ONLY pink toilet paper to match this bathroom. i even miss my guy friends threatening to pee in my panda trashcan cos they thought it looked like the top might spin around if they did. assholes. i love yous.

i miss this view, even though at this point in time mexican construction workers used to watch me shower as they were building that dumb restaurant at the hotel. i  miss the plastic sheep that held my cotton balls on the window sill, and i miss my morrissey bobble head that didn’t really bob but that i could tilt to make him look clumsy & shy.

i miss roof top parties. i miss 1997 and drinking 40s, even tho it sucked when you had to pee.. this picture is not from 1997 but some of the people in it knew me from then.

i miss the guy who drew this on me every time i hear wolfsheim.

i miss me when i was really happy in new york.

24 days.

i will see you again new york. get ready for me to miss the shit outta you guys again.

i love you. xx

wyatt just recently celebrated his son’s first birthday & although i am still yet to meet this little guy, i know one things for sure, he is really lucky to have such an awesome dude like wyatt as a dad.

good looking family right here.

jeylan sent me the link to wyatt’s recent show that this picture was in…

and i couldn’t remember that nite, or why i was wearing sunglasses inside the fish, till she showed me this picture which hangs on her fridge

and then i remembered how awesome a friend wyatt was to me that nite, and how lucky i am to know him.

there are a lot of amazing photos, too many to put them all up here, but this one is my favourite. i have a small obsession with balloons if you haven’t noticed.

check out the rest of wyatt’s show Moments Like This Never Last.

happy father’s day to all the dads out there. i miss mine everyday. ♡

and this will never get old…
