Intel Visual Life: Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist

Great short film about Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist and his visual life.

Around 3:40 to 4:10 is my neighborhood (in the Mr. Roger's feel of a neighborhood) and the apartment that I lived in at Union Square with Jeannie and the girls (love).

Caught my new bag on The Sartorialist!

Yay!

First record Doug pulled out at Urban Outfitters. Perfect for this week.


Washington Square lounging + fashion icon spotting (not pictured though; I refuse to be a creeper).


Some sort of aerobics utilizing bouncy rollerblade-like footgear. Odd.




For a period of my prepubescent to adolescent life, I wanted to be a glass-blower.

Hello Rewind photoshoot.

Last Saturday, Hello Rewind had a photoshoot to better display their products & what it is that they do. Below is a teaser video they posted of the day, made by one of the photographers Jon Freeland. Check it out & be on the look out for the results of the photoshoot :) Sure to be fun photos.

Luxirare camera bag.

This item is amazing.



Unfortunately, it's selling for $600. Sigh. It's super cute though, isn't it?

Slick move of the day: busting out the Bengali.

After I finished a film at the Angelika, I decided to wander around St. Mark's a bit in search of food & fun. Wanting to get a pair of glasses, I went to a shop on the corner where I knew for a fact the men who worked there were Bengali-speaking.

I got there and was trying on some glasses when I saw a hat I liked too. Seeing as I wanted to purchase glasses and a hat, and I still needed to pick up dinner, I knew it was haggling time. I asked for the prices -- $27 for both items -- and then waited for the inevitable question.

"Where are you from? Philippines?"

"No, Hong Kong."

"You live there?"

"No, I was born there but I live here in Manhattan now. Where are you from?"

"Bangladesh."

"Ah!" I feigned surprise, "Amar nam Gabrielle!"

At this moment, the two men burst into excitement with a bunch of oohs, ahhs, giddy laughter, & giant smiles like they just discovered the answer to a NY Times crossword puzzle clue.

I topped it off with, "Kamon achen?" which elicited an even more excited response (though neither of the men actually answered the question).

To top it off, I inquired where in Bangladesh they were from, guessing, "Dhaka?" (the capital city...and the only one I can remember off the top of my head, sadly). The men shouted yes so excitedly, I was convinced that they had just completed a Sunday crossword.

After pretending to peruse a bit more, I asked for the prices again. When I said $27 was too much, they dropped it down a good amount. Still, I shook my head and they, without any reluctance, responded with, "Okay, fine, for you, $17 for both, no problem."

Three letters, one word: WIN.
