Tompkins Square Park Halloween Dog Show 2013

I usually do not like it when people, especially adults who know better, 

dress animals in human clothing.  

This year, I found an exceptional exception among the leashed and uninhibited 

in the Tompkins Square Park Dog Run. 

(It was a riot.)

The more things change, the more the past reveals itself to us ...

Good news: No more insufferable Marc Jacobs signs, hand-painted with irony, on this wall.

More good news: No more insufferable 9/11 hand-painted clay squares tied to the chain-link like some maudlin kindergarten project gone bathetically wrong.

Bad news: MTA architects will decide what replaces this corner, which, like the rest of this asterisk-shaped intersection (former home to the stately Loews) & the length of (preserved) Greenwich Avenue, continues to be haunted by our greatest nostalgic New York painter.

 January,  LUCKY '13

The worst moment on morning television. Ever.

Or perhaps I had fallen back to sleep and was experiencing an early morning nightmare?

I can't imagine having to share actual time with four more despicable celubutards. 

Poor Willie Geist had to conduct this 'panel,' if I recall correctly.

Still trying to shake it . . . 

Here's a lovely start to pride weekend!
