The View from Up Top
A low pressure system in the eastern North Pacific Ocean is featured in this image photographed on Mar. 20, 2011 by an Expedition 27 crew member in the Cupola of the International Space Station. Just under ten feet in diameter, the Cupola accommodates two crew members and portable workstations that can control station and robotic activities. The multi-directional view allows the crew to monitor spacewalks and docking operations, as well as provide a spectacular view of Earth and other celestial objects as evidenced in this image.

Good Times in Hannah's World
Last week, I walked from my apartment in the East Village to Milk Studios in the Meatpacking District, wearing Hudson Army pants and a Steven Alan button-down shirt to shoot the look book for Mauvais Garcons, a chic, new bow tie line started by Paul Johnson Calderon. Photographer Julian Ungano, who happens to have a photo exhibit opening April 13at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, was in charge of shooting me and the other models including Fat Jew, Becka Diamond and Gabe Saporta. Tra la la... After the shoot, I headed uptown to read for a part in a movie. I am in no way an actress. When I was 11, I was once in a commercial with Spike Lee for Black History Month. When I got the call from the director asking me to come in and read for the part of Mia, a tattooed hipster DJ, I thought, Hey, minus the tats, I do that anyway. So there we went, take one, take two. I was having a good time with it, and hope that my enthusiasm translated on screen. It did! I found out later that I got the part. I rushed downtown because I was late for my boxing trainer. That's right, boxing. I never imagined hitting anyone-except maybe my brothers-but it really does feel amazing. I can throw jabs and hooks and I'd say my jump-roping skills are at an eight, on a scale from one to 10. I'm really embracing my inner Laila Ali. Boxing has seriously given me a new sense of confidence, and I highly recommend trying it. I've always had some spunk in my step, but now I really feel like I can deal with whatever these New York winds blow my way. Showered and polished, I slipped into my red Louboutin's, adding a pop of color to my black ensemble, and went to the Hudson Hotel where PAPER magazine held their annual Beautiful People Party. Actor and comedian Aziz Ansari hosted and Duran Duran was the musical entertainment. There certainly were beautiful people everywhere including Sally Singer from 'T Magazine,' hot, young designers Mandy Coon and Erin Fetherston, Moby and cute male models from Next modeling agency. My friend was bartending so I got the hook up with some Absolute Wild Tea concoction they were serving, and drank up while Duran Duran killed it. Later my two male besties, known as "The Serve," picked me up and we went to Chinatown. There is a new party there on Wednesdays with DJ Mia Moretti. I danced up a storm and my tootsies were killing me after. I woke up the next morning with a text message from my friend Max Winkler, reminding me about the premiere of his movie 'Ceremony,' starring Uma Thurman. I love film! I was thrilled when my friend recently informed me about the New York African Film Festival (NYAFF), a multi-venue, two-month celebration of African Arts and culture, taking place from April 2 through May 31. I can't wait to see all the films, which I am sure will shed all kinds of new light on African culture. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments More... |
Sparta - April 09, 2011
http://goodmorningkitten.com/media/k...kitten1195.jpg
Sparta Scott says: Sparta is a cool, laid-back kitten. When it comes to his own comfort, he's completely oblivious to the comfort of his big "brother" Pogo. Sparta treats Pogo like a big furry beanbag chair and will plop down right on top of him. Courtesy of: Scott Allyn http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheDa...~4/OE1Cup8JQHs More... |

Sarah Harvey
http://www.aadstatic.com/uploads/sar...4243234423.jpg
About Sarah: Sarah Harvey focuses in her figurative paintings on the ways in which the human form is fragmented and distorted in water. Most are self portraits. She is increasingly interested in the light, colour, and water in her paintings. The interplay between these create patterns which direct the eye away from the human figure and to surrounding areas of equal importance, she says. Harvey is influenced by Francis Bacon’s carcass and crucifixion paintings, and the work of Jenny Saville. She aims to make paintings that arouse a sense of well being and pleasure and also suggest notions of insecurity, fantasy, and sexuality. Her work has been exhibited in solo shows across England as well as in Canada, Singapore, and Greece. http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...5Po4Y_swY/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...5Po4Y_swY/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...K0:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...K0:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...K0:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Artis...~4/6Mx8weo5U5w More... |

Rosario (Rosie) is a very energetic little Shorkie! She is extremely well behaved and loves belly rubs. Her favorite trick is rolling over and favorite toy is her Kong. She follows her much bigger brother, Gus, (a Standard Schnauzer) around everywhere and although she usually trips up in his feet, she doesn't seem to mind. Rosie is always aiming to please others, whether it be letting Gus have his space as he enjoys his meals or listening to commands. Rosie loves naps in the sun and will fall asleep anywhere except her crate! More... |
