Ruven Afanador is a master photographer, and being able to sit just a few feet behind him while he worked this weekend was a rare experience I won't easily forget.

The Big Pink Romance Paris
Of all my trips to Paris, I never managed to catch a live gig. So I was determined to venture out of the cozy apartment and into the drizzle last night to see The Big Pink at the Nouveau Casino, a nightclub in the 8th.

Do Not Miss: Nymphenburg Wonderland inside J.F. Chen’s H’wood Cave

They were first unveiled by Madonna at last April's Met Costume Institute ball.
Trafficking Art: Yoko Ono, Shirin Neshat and Alex Katz Drive Out Commerce
"War is Over!" declares the top of one, then another and yet another yellow taxicab on the streets of New York. It's not brain freeze affecting those darling schmucks back east, as they suffer through this bitter winter (my friends there emailed me about waking up to snow this a.m.!).
