This was taken several years back in China...
I just love the "I don't care if the English isn't right" and "duh..." attitude of the message...rather than a simple "KEEP OFF THE GRASS"...because that would have been too boring...
It's 93 degrees, sunny, muggy and hazy...love these conditions for taking photos...taken outside of Cafe Habana, the most overrated and trendy restaurant...its one redeeming quality: the weekday $2.95 breakfast specials...
I'm a bit envious of this type of dedication to something so tangible...that's all I have to say about that...it's just too hot.
While riding the subway home with Artist, Professor of Dirt Style Design and 100% Hip Hop LifeStyler Cory Arcangel, he spotted what is certain to be the hottest new fashion trend...
So those of you who care at all what you look like, go out and get your Looney Tunes Jump Suit!!
If you sift through Cory's pretty site, you'll see that his latest work is in a show opening on June 28th at Team Gallery...if you are ready to NEVER BE THE SAME, I'd suggest checking it out...100% guaranteed to chnage your life.

Curious little kitty & not as interested mama kitty...Cambridge, MA 2000.
My favorite picture I've taken...spring 1998 in Istanbul...on my way to board a boat ride on the Bosphorous.
Looks a bit creepy and ominous doesn't it...love it!!
:-)
Uuumm...calling out to people who get their laundry done at the place on the corner of Mott & Prince...
Might this be your Victoria's Secret size large thong that crept into my panty drawer?
If so, please feel free to contact me and talk me off this ledge.
Oh dear, it's raining again and supposed to all weekend long.
I need some cute puppy lovin'...oh here he is!...
Doggy in Chelsea, properly adorning the neighborhood's colors :-)
Thank you to my friend Hannah Sharpless for this awesome link:

Hannah, Yahoo News isn't your ONLY news source, is it?? :-)
Here is my favorite person in NoLita who has yet to be spotted without one of his overweight chihahuas...
This one is named Bambi.
The everyday andreaharner.com readers may experience flashbacks of a previous post starring the same man but rather than Bambi, it starred.....the fantastic Porkchop!.
Come winter or summer, Bambi or Porkchop, this guy invariably and proudly, tells anyone who lends an ear, about his three chihahuas...all in desperate need of a diet...and about whom he says, "Well as you can see, they never miss a meal!!"
I've had a special spot in my heart for white kitties ever since I "rescued" one from my grandmother's ranch and brought him to live with me in San Diego...on the day I moved out of San Diego for good!, I called and searched for Willy...but to no avail...I frantically knocked on neighbors' doors to ask them to call me if a frisky white kitty showed up...they were half interested until they noticed the contact number I gave them was long distance...I actually had people close their doors in my face...NOT nice, people!
So I'm still yearning for Willy, my little white kitty...in the meantime, I've resorted to stalking a white kitty wearing a leather necklace in SoHo.
It's a crying shame the World Air Guitar championships just came and went without the attendance of our very own Air Guitar Extraordinaire...Jonah!
He's jammin':
He's feelin' it:
He asks...do YOU feel it?
This weekend while seeking Shelter From The Storm (love that Dylan song), I spotted an old lady whose wise ways I had to photograph.
Her delight at being photographed released the ham in her and she did a little can can dance before posing for this shot!
Ok, so the weather has improved greatly in that it's hot and not cold anymore...
although we've still got to work on the sunshine factor....
oh and not to be nit picky but the thunderstorms could stop too....
Simply hoping for the sunshine that Greta, my boss' kitty, enjoys below:
P.S. If you feel like watching a documentary that is inspiring, sad and touching, check out Marlene Dietrich: Her Own Song directed by her grandson, J. David Riva.
Left wondering why there's no mention of Witness for the Prosecution though...
Those Naughty Italians!! Oh, how I love 'em!! :-)
Bet you didn't know that Bambi teethes huh?
* Taken in Nara, Japan where the deer roam among people.
Thought I had found paradise until a deer came up from behind me because I had food in my hand and BIT MY ASS REALLY HARD.
It's finally a beautiful summer day in NYC!!
and all I unapologetically feel like doing is
1) sitting outside in direct sunlight,
2) drinking beers, and
3) having my back stroked by one of these gorgeous backscratchers I spotted in Athens, Greece, several years back...
The documentation of this showdown got off to a slow start as I scrambled for my trusty but often sleepy camera while these two love birds (ha!) ate from the same crap on the ground and hung out less than an inch away from each other...
people stopped in their tracks to watch this bizarro scene...the kitty then pawed at the birdy and the birdy hopped away...
my camera woke up with a yawn and...
well, the rest is .... history, people!
The little birdy, R.I.P, had a full and prosperous life.
Voila!
Invariably, the academic adamantly insists he's correct, resulting in the blogger having to turn away and grimace...but she finds solace in her heart, knowing that she's absolutely correct.

Do I live in Seattle?
Because I feel like I live in Seattle.
The constant rain has been such a bummer...that's my excuse for this depressing dose of reality, folks...
My beau says that this picture is more about how far people are willing to go to live in SoHo!!
J/K!! J/K!!
Wonder how long it took to create the evening's look:
And wonder what the guys in the background are shaking on:
Taken a few years back in the mountains of Southwestern China, home of the Naxi minority group, where I traveled with my family...they've always had the travel bug...lucky me!! :-)
Say good-bye to this little doggy...he's all dressed up and goin' to the Moon!!
Note his little pocket, unstoppable charm and the TONGUE - he'll be makin' friends in no time!!
