Saturday, I walked around Tribeca for the Tribeca Open Artist Studio Tour (AKA TOAST). There were less artists this year, there was no cheese or Krispy Kreme doughnuts either.

One of the artists I whose work I really like is Donna Rosenthal’s work. She crochets pretty dresses with thin wire and also makes dresses out of old newspapers and catalogs.

Things I really like right now:

Russell Brand. He is so hot that I may consider going to see a Judd Apatow movie, but in the meantime, I will read his biography, My Booky Wook.

Daniel Merriweather. The Aussie has more soul in his pinky toe than Amy Winehouse  has in her entire pinky body.

TOAST. Also known as the Tribeca Open Artist Studio Tour. I have been going for two years and I thoroughly enjoy the permutations of bad art/good wine, good art/bad wine, good cheese/bad wine, great art/no wine and etc.
