Scope NYC 2013 & the MLB FanCave!

Scope is one of the premier showcases for International emerging contemporary art and multi-disciplinary creative programming. Scope is known for presenting the most innovative galleries, artists, and curators. From March 6th to March 10th, Scope came to town and brought life to the NYC Art scene. Yours truly had the wonderful opportunity to document the phenomenal works of art that Scope exhibits.

Winter Wednesday

The frosty embrace of winter has been among us here in NYC, making us chilly New Yorkers flee for warmth! And there's plenty of places to find warmth in my city! I want to share with my readers a picture summary of what winter has had in store for me, along with many warmth filled moments!

No captions, no descriptions, just captured instances.

A picture's worth a thousand words, so here's my winter story!

New York Auto Show 2012!

The super sexy Duramax 6.6l v8 turbo diesel engine and I.

Spring has arrived, and with it comes tons of exciting events. One of which is the New York Auto Show! It seemed like it was just yesterday that I found myself drooling over the beauties showcased at the Jacob Javits Center for the first time. After my first encounter with the event, a second one was a must! When I heard the 2012 NYAS was around the corner, I HAD TO attend! It seems as if the event gets bigger and better every year, this year truly surpassing the last! A $15 ticket will get you into the world of automotive ingenuity, at its finest!

Within the last two years, I have become quite the auto-world enthusiast. From vintage beauties to striking exotics, every model&make makes my heart swoon! You don't have to be an auto junkie to find the NYAS amazing, everyone of all ages and interests will find this showcase to be a must see!


Check out the revving beauties I encountered at this years New York Auto Show!

Street Art & Sex Hook Up at the MOS!

One of my favorite places has put together three of my favorite things, all under one roof: sex, internet, and street art! Yes, the Museum of Sex does it again, showcasing two spanking new exhibitions:  Universe of Desire and F*CK ART. The installations opened to the public the night of February 8th, and yours truly got to attend the opening reception! I was absolutely thrilled to get a first look at the new exhibitions, along with documenting a sneak peek for my readers! 

Universe of Desire exposes the biggest and dirtiest side of the cyber world. Shedding light upon the sex crazed, fetish Utopia called the Internet and embracing all it beholds. The exhibition reflects how we share our innermost thoughts, fantasies, and desires via electronic screens throughout the world.

F*CK ART is definitely the man of the hour at the MOS. Featuring 20 select artists, street art takes over the third floor, producing a multicolored manifestation of nitty gritty, lusty busty, nothing held back SEX. Not for the faint of heart, F*CK ART exudes the in-your-face attitude the world of graffiti is known for. Mix a bit of lust into that, and you got yourself a party!

Participating artists include AIKO. Andrew H. Shirley, B-rad Izzy, Cassius Fouler. DICKCHICKEN. DROID, GEN 2, OZE 108 of 907, El Celso, Jeremy Novy, JMR, LUSH, Miss Van, MODE 2, Patch Whisky, ROSTARR, RTTP: Nathan Vincent & Bryan Raughton, Tony Bones, William Thomas Porter, WOLFTITS, and Wonderpuss Octopus.

I've been a M.O.S fan and avid visiter for some time now, and I've always fallen in lust with their showcases. But I must admit, these two new exhibitions are the creme of the crop! In my opinion, they're the most interactive installations yet, as well as the most provocative! Definitely a must see!

Check out a sneak peek of these new exhibitions at the Museum of Sex!

Action Bronson @ Southpaw!

Last month, New York waved goodbye to one of it's most cherished venues, Southpaw. Amidst the fellow New Yorkers, rocking out onstage was Queens based rapper Action Bronson along with a posse of performers: Smoke DZA, The Kid Daytona, Harry Fraud, Party Supplies, Meyhem Lauren, Mr. M-fin' eXquire, Das Racist, Despot, El-P and many more... the posse ran deep! Everyone did amazingly putting on a phenomenal show, saluting the classic hip-hop institution, and bidding a bittersweet farewell. Making all of New York's hip-hop lovers proud!

As I've mentioned before, I've been very backed up on updates due to my recent absence. My poor Canon has been jam packed with tons of great content from last month, with no one to appreciate it! So when I finally got the time to sit down and look at all of it, I was so thrilled to share it all with my readers! This event being one of my February highlights, I had an absolute blast! 

Check out some of the shots I captured that night!

Reebok x Reed Space: "Classic Sessions NYC"

The love for art and music, go hand in hand. So when one finds themselves amidst both wonders, one is guaranteed greatness. Appreciating both crafts, Reebok and Reedspace have teamed up and introduced the new "Classic Sessions NYC" at 145 Orchard in the LES. For the next few months, musicians and visual artists will pair up and take over the pop-up venue open to the public. Kicking off the brilliant series was the talented Queens MC T.Shirt on the music side, and the dynamic duo UR New York on the art side. Inspired by each other's gifts, UR New York presented a fantastic installation influenced by one of T.Shirt's tracks off his album "The Fuck". T.Shirt gave music lovers a superb show by performing 4 songs off his album, while beautiful artistry flowed throughout the walls. 

Music embracing art, art embracing music. 

Yours truly attended the event and captured the action... Check it out!

Museum of the Moving Image!

I can be quite the museum junkie, so when I go a long time without visiting one, I get the museum itch! The museum itch must be controlled. I recently managed to soothe the itch by visiting The Museum of the Moving Image! Located in my home borough of Queens, it surprises me that I hadn't gone before. And yet, I'm glad I waited this long, being that the museum underwent a recent expansion. This place is an absolute Utopia for pop culture, television, and movie enthusiasts! I absolutely recommend it, you'll feel like a kid in a candy store! But the museum doesn't limit itself to just the big screen, inside you'll find everything from vintage video games, to an Egyptian movie theatre!

If names like Star Wars, Nintendo, Muppets, Carrie Bradshaw, and Charlie Chaplin make your heart run wild, then this is the place for you! There's something for everyone at the Museum of the Moving image!

Check out my experience at the Museum of the Moving Image!

Yours truly had the pleasure of attending NYC Agenda which is only open to buyers, distributers, and press.

Having a  few friends in the biz, plus past streetwear modeling gigs, I have become quite familiar with the scene... so off to Agenda I went, for a refreshing update on what's new! Managed to take a few pics here and there, although many booths were prohibiting picture-taking. Check out some of my finds!

Mini Tour of the SSS Lair!

To those whose curiosity extends beyond limits and wonder what the SSS lair may look like, 

you're in luck.

I am a huge believer of feng shui, and have decided to welcome the new year with a new surrounding. I have been doing some remodeling around my house, a lengthy task that I enjoy doing very much! Kind of the reason behind my time-out from blogging. Amidst my re-organizing I decided to take a few snapshots of my work in progress, and details that surround my life at home. Since it's a sneak peek, I won't go into details nor lengthy picture captions. So let your imagination run wild if you must ;)

New York's Comic Con 2011!

At last...!!! The time had come for all of NYC's imaginative aficionados to rejoice in comic book euphoria. Yes, the 2011 New York Comic Convention hit the Jacob Javits Center from October 13th-16th 2011. Comic book enthusiasts of all ages, backgrounds, and throughout all of the five boroughs attended the phenomenal convention. Some transformed into their favorite childhood characters, comic and video game characters, role models,  and even favorite toys!



If you've followed my blog long enough, you would know about my long time devotion to Archie Comics, and the Archie fanatic in me just cannot miss a single NYCC... so I of course HAD TO attend! Apart from the Archie indulgence, I also love to engaging in the quirky comic book fun! Not just comic books fill the JJC, but also cosplay, movies, video games, anime, and all things that scream pop culture! Expressive, inspirational, and brilliant... the NYCC is an annual event that any New Yorker, no matter the interests, will find simply incredible fun!

Check out my NYCC fun!

Visiting the Meadowlands State Fair!

The State Fair Meadowlands in Secaucus, New Jersey celebrated their 25th anniversary this summer. I am  a HUGE fair/carnival/feast enthusiast so I made it my mission to visit. Once there, I fell in love with the 1950's feel in the air. The vintage carnival stands, classic magic shows and freakshows, the smell of cotton candy lemonade and funnel cakes, all stole my heart while walking through the vibrant fair. Thrill rides, lights, exhibitions, petting zoos and fantastic fair fun everywhere you looked!!! Sigh, I wish this place was availiable year round!!! Knowing it wasn't going to be around for long, I brought along my handy dandy Canon and snapped away at as much of the fun as I could, so I can share it with you. And hopefully inspire you to visit next year!!

Check out the fantastic time I had at the Meadowlands State Fair!!

Yours truly is an automobile enthusiast with a passion for all things classic. so I will definitely be there documenting these gorgeousities <3

Here's a sneak peek on some of the beauties that will be featured in the showing!

Puppy Love For Sale!

Hey Loves!!! Allow me to introduce you to this honeysuckle-sweet puppy. The last one left of my doggies recent puppy litter, and my absolute favorite.  He has a variety of names such as boo, booski, hunny munny, and other cute pet names  that come to mind when I see him. 

Reason why he doesn't have a set name, is really because I've always been very indecisive on keeping him or not. When selling my other pups, I'd always hold hunny munny on the side for myself. Out of the entire litter, he was the fastest learner, most energetic, and definitely the most adorable one! Plus he was keeping his mommy in good company. Curious, quick and bold learner, VERY playful, and VERY affectionate <3

But now I've come to the conclusion that I've no time for two doggies. Having my doggy Tinky is enough of a situation for me to handle. It truly breaks my heart to have to give up my hunny munny. But I've realized I have to. And it's either now or never since he's at the perfect age to find a new home and be able to quickly adapt.

So here I am trying to find my precious gem a loving home.

Play Me, I'm Yours.

Eighty Eight pianists throughout  NYC performed their best symphonies for onlooking New Yorkers. Using waterfronts, parks, boardwalks, and even post offices as their auditorium. These pianists consisted of 12 year old girls, 29 year old men, and even yours truly. Anyone whose heart desired music, got to star in their own performance. Throughout the month of June, 88 pianos were sprinkled throughout the five boroughs, for all to admire and for all to play whatever songs they wanted to play.


Sing for Hope is a non-profit organization supporting volunteer service programs benefitting schools, hospitals, and communities. All with the help of professional artists  such as classical musicians to photographers to Broadway performers. Sing for Hope gave New Yorkers access to the arts by showcasing 88 pianos throughout different communities. Each piano was gorgeously customized by a different volunteer artist; including Broadway stars, local songwriters, and even ballerinas. This annually showcased project is called The Sing for Hope Pop-Up Pianos, inspired by  Britain based artist Luke Jerram, holding the world’s largest street piano installation to date, and reaching over two million people. The exhibition ended July 2nd and the pianos were donated to schools and hospitals throughout NYC.

The Pop Up Pianos project and all those involve had one motive:
to help bring the arts to all New Yorkers.


Yours truly, being the arts enthusiast she is, decided to go on a piano scavenger hunt.
On the prowl from Manhattan to Queens to to Harlem to Brooklyn, I managed to capture 10 beauitiful pianos.


Check out the gorgeous pieces I befriended <3

4th of July aboard the Sheryll Princess!

Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Summertime, BBQ's, the outdoors, and of course fireworks are just a few of the things that make the 4th so damn awesome! I've had some awesome 4th of Julys in my 23 years of life, but this years 4th was absolutely FANTASTIC! I wanted this 4th to be like no other that I've had, so I thought "why not hop on a boat??"

I started researching 4th of July cruises. And got bombarded with HUNDREDS of great cruises that give you a nice boat ride around Manhattan and an awesome view of the Macy*s 4th of July fireworks. I found this SUPERB deal on a cruise boat called the "Sheryll Princess". For just $100 pp, the boat takes you on a 6 hour cruise that begins in Brooklyn, floats onto Ellis Island, glides alongside MannyHatty and New Jersey, and finally parks itself in a perfect spot to catch the fireworks show. PLUS had 2 floors, a DJ, and all inclusive food and drinks. AWESOMENESS!

I was thrilled with my 4th of July package, 

and even more thrilled to be on a boat like T-PAIN!!

Check it!

Showpaper The Community Serviced Too

Showpaper is a free bi weekly print only publication promoting DIY shows in NYC. If you decide to pick up a copy of Showpaper next week, you'll most likely come across a gorgeously customized newspaper box, oozing with unique artistic extravagancy. A project presented by Showcase and curated by Andrew H Shirley, these vibrant boxes will be sprinkled throughout NYC for all to admire. This is the second time Showcase exhibits this form of street art. The first time around, a few of the boxes were actuallly stolen. A box designed by the legendary graffiti artist COST, was not just stolen but also sold on eBay for $4,000. The presentation includes 16 diffrent boxes all customized by artist duos. Pairs included Adam Void & Chris Stain, BAK & VIL, CELSO & SKEWVILLE, CLAW & JESSE, Dennis McNett, Doyle Huge & Mikey 907, GAIA & Heidi Tullmann, HELLBENT w/Alison & Garrison Buxton, Leon Reid IV & POSTERBOY, MINT & SERF, Poneros & SPAM, Sto & Kelie Bowman, SWOON & Noah Sparkes, UFO 907, and a SURE tribute by FAUST.  

Showpaper presented The Community Serviced Too, unveiling the phenomenal designs at 285 Kent ave in Brooklyn before unleashing them into the world. Having the pleasure of being friends with one of the artists (thank you TONS by the way!), I managed to get a sneak peak of the boxes at the exhibition before they're showcased onto the mean streets of NYC. Every design was absolutely fascinating and captivating in its own originality. I cannot wait till NYC gets to marvel at these beauties!!
