Fresh Cuts of Faux

Downtown carnival with a new prize offering: fresh hanging cuts of fury faux lions and tigers. Like fuzzy sides of meat in a butcher’s playland. Or something like that. (Shhh…they’re sleeping…)

Because Dirt Goes With Everything

From a recent trip to NYC. Cigar store window display and all the class it promises from sitting in the sun under smoke haze and dirt crumble. Reminds me of how well (or not) Moonraker has stood the test of time. (And yes I know, that’s not Roger Moore down there under all that filth…)

Meat Lovers

Sometime meat and sausage slices catch my eye when en route to anywhere really, especially if they are wrapped around anything drivable. This falls into my DELICIOUS category of reproduced food.  I enjoy the way edible product shots quickly lose their appeal after a long and dirty winter.

Or consider this rack of meat on another delivery van that looks like the bony remains of some giant airborne creature after violently crashing to the ground:

There Are 9 Million New Yorkers…

And all of them were out this last weekend due to extremely pleasant temps in the 70s. Mr. Softies were on patrol as well. Now if we can just find this dog and cat a home we’d be in business.

Reminds me a little of this “portrait” I did years ago for a friend…

International Bigtime Wrestling Selects

Finally, a few selects from last year’s International Bigtime Wrestling event in Mexicantown, Detroit. There was wonderful food, fake blood (no really), fantastic showmanship, and some menacing escaped convicts just hanging out with the kids. Originally posted about this back in July, 2009.

Season’s Greetings From Your Sinclair Dealer

And even more greetings from a Christmas Day drive thru the backroads, all fossil-powered and very traditional. That’s Santa back there with the Misses, behind the dinosaur.

Just so you know, there are bargains yet to be had in front of Harry Winston, W 56th and 5th NYC. REAL designer jewelry for only $10. (And if you look at Google Street View, you’ll see the sale has been going on for some time.)
