New York

I’ve only been back in LA for a week and I’m already itching to hit the streets of NY again and visit all my amazing friends out there.  One of the most standout nights I had during my 6 week stay was my goodbye dinner at Sean Avery’s new Tribeca restaurant Tiny’s.  He was kind enough to host my party of about 20 in the back room until we finally noticed the staff huddled by the bar waiting to go home… we were having so much fun, we didn’t notice we had literally closed the joint!  The food was delicious, the drinks were ever-flowing and the amazing company reminded me that genuine people do exist. (Something I often forget living in LA) Everyone there brought endless unique talent, intellect and humor to the table making it a night full of laughter and inspiration…and certainly one I’ll never forget.  My love goes out to all the folks I had to say ‘see ya later’ to that night, thank you for joining me at Tiny’s and I know you haven’t even had time to miss me yet but I’ll be back to visit next week! Haha Haven’t gotten my fill of NY yet!

Hope you’re all well and smilin’ those beautiful smiles…

Last night I joined some friends for an event at the new Wooster Street Social Club, Ami James’ new tattoo parlor and setting for his new show, New York Ink.  I was tagging along with the intention of flying under the radar but when a photographer approached asking if I would take a photo with Ami, I could not resist.  As a tattoo lover for years (got my first at 15!) I’ve watched Miami Ink marathons marveling at the tattoo culture and badass energy in his shop.  I always appreciate a cut throat businessman/woman who fights to rise to the top of their field whilst maintaining strong ethics and never doing so at the expense of others.  Ami is beyond a talent and force in the industry, and not to mention, one damn fine man.  It was my pleasure to meet him last night and fingers crossed I get an appointment with him at the shop today!  Will document if I do… stay tuned…

Went to a very cool Persol event at the VERY well-curated Museum of Moving Image last night where guests enjoyed displays of classic film favorites, a rooftop bar and DJ-stylings of Ryan McGinley.  Had a great time hanging with pals and perusing the set pieces and clips of some of my all-time favorite flicks, if you get a chance to swing by when in New York, I’d strongly suggest doing so.  I also had the pleasure of meeting the adorably charming Markus Molinari, designer of J Molinari jewelry.  He was wearing a few rad pieces from his line that enticed me to check out his full collection on www.jmolinarijewelry.com and now I’m “addicted”…check it, kids!
