Just noticed this brick signage on the South side of Saks Fifth Avenue on 49th Street between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue for the first time!

Stone Henge!

Where the banshees live and they do live well!

My brother pointed out the similarity while we were walking by 40 East 80th Street, recently.

An X-Rated Door on the U.E.S. and one other sexy thing.

What the heck is up with this door?

Also, I think this scroll-hip is pretty sexy. Reminds me of some surrealist stuff.

The Upper East Side Collection (of jewelry)

So, in case you didn’t know, I make jewelry (www.rebeccaschiffmanjewelry.com) and my new “Upper East Side Collection” is based on architectural ornament in the neighborhood. I’m running a Kickstarter campaign to get enough pre-orders to be able to pay for some equipment, materials and promotional costs. There are only 7 days left. Please check out my Kickstarter video and page.

PAVEMENT CRACKS

Cement paving or something on my block in the middle of the night last month (11/6/10)

Reminds me of one of my favorite Annie Lennox songs, Pavement Cracks, which was actually playing in my Chase branch the other day.
