Remembering 911.

September 11, 2015 § 1 Comment

My gorgeous sister in her other life dancing outside of the WTC. My son came home and told us the teachers shared their 911 stories today, so we shared ours. I told him about how I was working on a tv show downtown during the day, but had just switched to nights and was sleeping when the planes crashed into the towers. How it was a beautiful day. The mishegas that followed. Who remembers the duct tape we were suppose to buy?  The Anthrax scare at NBC and the men in full hazmat suits who came in to investigate while the editors and producers had to continue to work unprotected. The burning smell that lasted for weeks maybe months? I can’t remember now, but can’t forget that smell. The pasted photos of the missing persons and how everything is just different now…

The city is all about color right now.  Leave it to Barneys to create the grooviest window displays and Gap has teamed up with  Big Gay Ice Cream for 30 days of tees and ice cream. Loving The Pride.

The Pump With A Certain Bow.

Among the family slides I found one of a shoe and wonder if it’s the pump my grandfather told me about as a child.

Then I created a little pump with a certain bow on it…and that’s what kept us busy…Well that little shoe, forget now what the name… we had a name for it…And I kept on creating new things.  – Ben Benjamin

A Cross Between Betty And Joan.

April 22, 2015 § 6 Comments

I recently purchased a photo scanner and now am finally starting to scan all the slides I have. Here’s one of my mother from probably the 1950’s taken by my dad. I haven’t had a chance to ask her about it yet. She’s like a cross between Betty and Joan from Mad Men. I’m really loving this last season and sad to see it come to an end. Expect more Betty and Joan inspired fashion in the coming weeks.
