As I’m sure you are aware, I am obsessed with the Speak Easy. Even chewing on following my own tips on How to Throw a SpeakEasy Party for my upcoming birthday (full disclosure: I’m also considering a “Soul Train” theme. Good job Kevin!) And dare I say, if I got married? Might even be the [...]
One of my most treasured pieces of jewelry are these beautiful, powerful earrings from Alexis Bittar. The kind that when worn with tired looking jeans, flip flops and a Hanes tank, get you upgraded to First Class. I was walking in Chelsea last week and saw the new ad campaign for Alexis Bittar featuring the [...]
Auntie and I firmly believe that one person’s neurosis is another’s saving grace. A very good friend of mine, alias, Savvy Brown acknowledges “I’m a little obsessed with how things work, how things are made, how things grow and how they affect us.” Trust me, she is. And luckily for me, she is a never [...]
One of the greatest highlights of 2009 was meeting the Queen…Queen Esther that is. She and I were introduced by one of the finest, intelligent filmmakers I have yet to meet (Yea – that’s her being loud at the beginning of the Joe’s Pub clip – see video below) and clicked instantly. In true Auntie [...]
Dad just sent me this link to James Frey’s blog. One of Dad’s paintings are on his site for Mother’s Day. Life is so deliciously random. PS. If you haven’t already (shame on you!) look at some of Dad’s other paintings online.

It’s a very intriguing, thought provoking visual journey/film shot during the pre-gentrification of Harlem. I believe Rod began production on “Camouflage” close to 15 years ago. One of the many thoughts the film will [...]
I am truly fascinated by all things hidden in New York, subversive in New York and historical in New York. Thus my love of the Speak Easy. I was just rummaging online and came across this blog Lost City and their article on Chumley’s, the famed Speak Easy at 86 Bedford. It’s a wonderful read [...]
I have to say a glimpse because I was in Belize for only one week and wasn’t even aware of the trip until two days before (not much time for researching). So, this past week, I had the pleasure and honor of working on Nyasha Liang’s documentary “Punta Rock”, about the musical culture in Belize. [...]
I am very happy to report that The Arsonist and my alter-ego CMart has returned to the internet. Its the much bitchier side of me (I know, I know – and you thought I was an angel).
(and really, you should already know about this site). Today I attended my friend’s Meetup group, New York Financial Divas. Essentially a bunch of cool ass women discussing their finances. I really wanted to attend today’s event on money & money images in the movies. Being a cinematographer (and an analytical film nerd at that), [...]
