My red tights
All I wanted today was to pose in my red tights... I got out of bed thinking how can I be painted in my red tights? I have so many red tights I have a bag full of red tights, very bright red. I refer to them as Chicago Red. I can't remember a time before my winter in Times Square... All the lights! The SNOW!!! The TOURISTS!!! Oh New York City!!!!Sometimes I miss the rushing sound of humans disconnected but in tune. Cameras Flashing, Homeless smiles, the smell of roasted peanuts, ticket sales, and red tights! I Love you Times Square!
So I got to the Painting Class today and took everything off except my red tights! Guess you got her wish today!

Wise Words by Lady Velasquez
When in close proximity to 3rd generation Italian clowns, remember tasers, cattle prods and stun guns are all safe methods of self defence.

dreams, reality & nightmares
I had a dream that one of my favorite cousins had cancer and was quickly debilitating. In this dream I was visiting my father and he lived in a basement type apartment that you entered the way bugs bunny did in his cartoons. My cousin had gotten so ill she could not exit, so we had a Crane arrive and hoist her out like those sick horses that have to be lifted in to trucks. I was watching as she was being lifted and talking to my mother crying bc I would never see her again. And asking myself if she ever repaired the relationship with my great aunt who adopted and raised her, She is 94yrs old give or take a few years. At this moment in real life my roommate walked in and asked me if I was ok... Because I was crying so hard over losing my cousin. I answered him my cousin died. He gasped for air and asked me when. I replied just now in my dream... at that moment I was finally able to move and wake up. My hurt felt so real I was paralyzed in bed.

A film I am in!
Hello to Everyone From PublicAdCampaign,
PublicAdCampaign is excited to announce the world premier of the full length documentary film This Space Available, on November 5th at 7pm. The film investigates the topic of Visual Pollution in our global community through the eyes of industry insiders, governmental agencies and public activists like myself. While I have yet to see the film myself, I expect the film to be an even handed account of this pressing global issue meant to spur debate on the topic and build a critical platform on which further discussion can occur. There will be a Q&A after the screening for anyone who would like to discuss the issue further with the participants and film makers. I cannot fully express my excitement for this film and hope you will join us on Saturday November 5th for this unique event and critical public space issue.
thanks and I hope to see you there.

The grassroots movement against visual pollution
A documentary film directed by
Gwenaelle Gobe
Executive Producer: Marc Gobe/Emotional Branding
World Premiere at IFC Center/ New York
Saturday November 5th Time: 7:00 PM
Tuesday November 8th Time: 1:15 PM
_______________________________________________________________________________
THIS SPACE AVAILABLE: Press Release
Billboards and commercial messages dominate the public space like never before. But is a movement taking shape to reverse this trend?
In This Space Available, filmmaker Gwenaëlle Gobé says yes. Influenced by the writing of her father, Marc Gobé (Emotional Branding), this new director brings energy and urgency to stories of people around the world fighting to reclaim their public spaces from visual pollution.
From 240 hours of film, 160 interviews and visits to 11 countries on five continents, This Space Available charts a fascinating variety of struggles against unchecked advertising and suggests that more than aesthetics is at stake. If Jacques Attali once called noise pollution an act of violence, is visual pollution also such an act? Should we also consider, as one Mumbai resident says, "which classes of society can write their messages on the city and which classes of society are marginalized?"
Gobé offers a canny generational analysis of visual pollution, laying blame not just with the advertising juggernaut but also an entire generation of Baby Boomers, whose consumption-based culture has implicated them in the environmental fallout. She argues that it's her generation, left to do the cleaning up, that is now leading the fight back.
But the filmmaker also recognizes the history and politics behind this fight. Turning to such legislation as the Highway Beautification Act of 1965, Gobé shows how the enforcement of this landmark law, designed to regulate outdoor advertising on America's roadways, has steadily eroded. And today, public space activist Jordan Seiler faces harsh penalties for covering illegal outdoor ads with art, while officials turn a blind eye to illegally erected billboards.
Still, the film strikes a hopeful tone. A standout interview features Gilberto Kassab, the popular mayor of Sao Paulo, who threw a stone into the quiet pond of the billboard industry by successfully banning outdoor media in his city – the eighth largest in the world. The move is not without precedent: Houston's 1980 billboard ban was also a deliberate tactic to improve its flagging image, economic competitiveness, and quality of life.
In the end, This Space Available challenges audiences to recognize that aesthetics and beauty go hand in hand with responsibility. Gobé asks why brands continue to ally themselves with an industry that cuts down trees, hogs energy, and spends its profits in courts and statehouse lobbies, especially while younger consumers push for improved corporate citizenship? And is everyone equally to blame for enabling the spread of visual pollution, while other humble individuals show that it's possible to reverse it?
The film navigates these issues without promoting a universal solution. Gobé instead weaves together stories reflecting diverse local responses to an increasingly global condition. This Space Available compels audiences to consider these stories long after the film ends, or at least to remember them each time we speed by a billboard.

Good news vs. Bad news
Good news vs. Bad news
It's all the same.
Today was a strange day! I love my little apartment in Williamsburg. In our home we are 4 pussies. Two cats a gay man and myself. My home is like a little cottage. I always have beautiful girlfriends staying with me. It's my fear of being alone that makes me invite girls over all the time. My friend was trying to convince me that I am gay... Although I love kissing girls that's the extent of my gayness. I don't even like to cuddle, but I don't want to be home alone. I like sitting and painting or writing with a girlfriend around. If she's really special i will tie her up and place her comfortably in the corner next to my kitties. It's probably because I am the oldest of 5 children that this noisy company keeps me at peace. I love my little home. My friend is going to be staying with me for a month and we wanted to get twin beds, like little sisters! We can share my full size bed but the truth is I like sleeping alone, unless its after sex, and well thats not going to happen. So we were all excited about this November December artistic sisterly support. That's was the good news, now for the bad. My landlady was suppose to give me a new lease to sign today, she was raising my rent $100.00. Which is relatively high increase % wise, but I was ok with it because it's still at market value and I love my little cottage in Williamsburg. I went to her office and I got the news that she wants me to move out on Jan 1st... On New Years day! Is that even possible? The story goes like this apparently she wants her daughter to move into my apartment which is below her. My only reaction was to start crying and say I love living here. Ahhh my mother calls me her little gypsy. So here I go moving again. But not on New Years day!!! I legally have 3 months so I will manifest a bigger and better place. Looking forward to my new adventure. Blessed to live with Alvaro and planning to keep it that way!
