Tears


When I went wandering in Harlem on Saturday, I found this beauty salon on Frederick Douglass Blvd. at 139th Street. Tell me this isn't the best beauty salon name EVER?!


I'm not sure what it means -- maybe when you leave, you're so elegant you burst into tears?

Yesterday I took the afternoon off work and walked around Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with Lettuce and Chedwick. We found lots of street art, ate free pizza and plundered a Salvation Army thrift store, where for 99 cents I bought a t-shirt that pledges my love for Henry. (I was actually unaware of Henry's existence until I saw the shirt, but never mind.)

  3. What a great afternoon with two wonderful Bloggers. My favorite shorts came from a thrift store. I'm a firm believer in hand-me-downs!

  5. Tears of Elegance: in French, there is a saying: Il faut souffrir pour être belle "One must suffer to be beautiful" - so... take it from there.

    The t-shirt: Oh, Henry must be so pleased :-)
