new york: part five

I was looking forward to the "babe explosion" picnic my entire week in New York, and the outcome was well worth the wait! So many wonderful gals showed up to chat and take silly photos. We even had a surprise visit from some near-naked strangers, ahem. I wish I could organize a picnic like this every weekend, if only to bask in the loveliness of all my fellow bloggers while stuffing my face with cheese. Thank you so much to everyone that came, I loved every minute!

Oh whaaaaat?

These dudes came over and serenaded us... and then I lied and said it was my birthday so that they'd sing more.

They were quite... exposed.

Sandra, too cute.

Rebecca.

My roommate for the week!

I've been taking so many silly nighttime photos here in New York with my film camera but I won't be able to share any of them until I get back to San Francisco. Which means that you get to see all of the non-sweaty daytime shots first, the "posed" ones, and then later there will be an onslaught of grainy craziness with lots of dancing and mischief. Oh, and many shirtless men (who for some reason kept popping up all over in groups). I'll be sad on Tuesday when I have to say goodbye to this city and to all the fantastic ladies I've had the pleasure of palling around with. And I will especially miss Emily and being able to photograph her pretty face every day... has anyone ever looked better in a mini skirt? Wowza!

Last night I traipsed around Brooklyn for Fashion's Night Out with a gaggle of pretty girls: Hannah, Siri, Emily, Francesca and Liz. There was free champagne, crowds spilling into the streets, and plenty of excellent people watching. I took a lot more photos with my point-and-shoot film camera that I'll be posting as soon as I get home. Highlights of the evening: eating amazing greasy pizza and having some dude shout "Hey, it's the Babysitters Club!" at the group of us when we walked by. Not sure if he meant it as a compliment but I'll gladly take it as one.
