What We Love Today: John Derian

Some great new pieces, now in stock.

Behold, the bathroom of my dreams.
But only if I had no stuff. And never needed a mirror.
And liked to imagine I lived in a mental institution, circa 1953.

Those floors. I die.

A cement (?) sink??! A kitchen lamp? Yes please.

And that's what I have to say about John Derian.

NYC... What is it About You.


New York has been getting some major, and well-deserved, love from two of our favorite bloggers.

Joanna from Cup of Jo has compiled a wonderfully personal, and extremely useful (for tourists and residents alike) Guide to NYC that I have really been enjoying and was super thrilled to see Catbird listed in. 

Same goes for East Side Bride who whipped up this guide with a heavy dose of Williamsburg.

Approval: stamped.


Blank Generation




Perfect follow up to Please Kill Me, a miss your subway stop kind of book Rony turned me on to. Sorry Williamsburg, but you've got nothing on downtown in the 70s.

Downtown. Remember Downtown?

Tuesday was a day for the joys of lower Manhattan. We visited the studios of Made Her Think, and then, in the shadow of the Bowery, we were lulled to pacific joy by the quiet of a line containing magnificent, refined, elegant jewels. We ordered, of course, and we are trembling to share with you. We had salads at Cafe Gitane and stopped at De Vera, an old favorite. Never have I ever, De Vera. What you do is magic incarnate.

Closet Visit


It's days like today, and blogs like Closet Visit, that really make me wonder why I don't live in California.

"It's like Marrakech out there!"

From Gothamist:


As the talking heads were droning on about the biggest media story of 2010 (Joe Scarborough: The iPad!), Williams went on a sardonic tear about the New York Times' "discovery" of Brooklyn. "Once a day, there’s a story about all the riches offered in that borough," Williams japed. "There are young men and women wearing ironic glass frames on the streets. There are open air markets, like trading posts in the early Chippewa tribe, where you can make beads at home and then trade them for someone to come over and start a small fire in your apartment that you share with nine others." 


To anyone who watches The Daily Show or Sesame Street, it's not news that Brian Williams is trés drole. Watch the video:


And Bingo Was His Name-O



Wow. Good job everyone!

I will admit, this video confuses the shit out of me, yet I am utterly compelled by it. It is like a video version of Vice Dos. Also, it's like a love letter to NYC. Coolest mother fuckin' city ever. (Sorry mom.)

Our front gate.


Take that, stupid graffiti-er!

*Thanks Joanie!!
