I just saw that September 8th is "Fashion Night Out." Although I'm going to Keaith's group show after work, I'm wondering if I should put on some of my Paul Smith and become part of the spectical of fashion week and try to do some shooting.

Anyway, anyone thinking about doing anything? Any events that provide shooting oportunities?

BTW my girlfriend (stylist) says I clean up good. LOL.

My wife gets into the events via her job but Im not sure if the general public can simply walk in. I can ask her if you want, Cal. Ive worn a t-shirt and jeans the past 5 or 6 years straight so what I know about fashion can fit into a thimble.

I'm kinda clueless also. If it weren't for my stylist (girlfriend) I'd be only wearing jeans and T-shirts too, abiet ripped up and torn versions. Only recently has my girlfriend made me throw out my vintage "rags." I had stuff that dated back to the eighties in my closet. LOL.

Anyways it really is interesting posing as a rich guy. People really treat you differently, and I feeling special and powerful is fun, almost like performance art.

When I got invited to Gracie Mansion to meet Mayor Bloomburg for the first time I was the only guy wearing a Hawian shirt who looked like an old hippie surfer among all the suits. My stylist did not find it amusing as I did. Major Bloomberg's expression when he shook my hand was WTF. Priceless. All the other men were wearing suits. LOL. BTW Mike is very short.

I went last year wearing a thong, flipflops and a dickey. I was granted access everywhere I tried with no questions asked.

By the way...I don't see the effects you attributed to this vitamin listed...

Manly Machovites (Oral) is used for the Treatment

Multivitamins with minerals are given to people who need more vitamins and minerals in their diet.

When To Not Use Manly Machovites (Oral)

You should not use this medicine if you have had an allergic reaction to a vitamin, multivitamin, or any mineral (such as fluoride, calcium, iron, zinc, and others).

How Should You Use Manly Machovites (Oral)

Tablet, Chewable Tablet, Liquid, Long Acting Tablet, Liquid Filled Capsule, Spray, Capsule
  • Your doctor will tell you how much of this medicine to use and how often. Do not use more medicine or use it more often than your doctor tells you to.
  • If you are using this medicine without a prescription, follow the instructions on the medicine label.
  • Swallow the capsule or tablet whole, unless the directions say you can break, crush, or chew the vitamin. Some tablets have a special coating and should not be chewed. Chewable tablets should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing.
  • Measure the oral liquid vitamins with a marked measuring spoon, oral syringe, medicine dropper, or medicine cup. You may mix the liquid with food.
  • For spray vitamins: Spray the liquid directly into your mouth, on the inside of your cheek. Wait 30 seconds before swallowing. If a dose is missed:
  • If a dose is missed, you can take it when you remember.
  • It is generally not harmful if you miss a dose of a multivitamin.
If you notice these less serious side effects, talk with your doctor:
  • Tiredness
  • Loss of appetite, indigestion, or nausea
  • Staining of teeth
  • Constipation or diarrhea

Jamie,

Its all over the top. Just really making fun of myself. Not really trying to impress anyone. BTW in my past I was a performance artist. Like I said, its all over the top.:) BTW I have a photo of me shaking one of the richest men in the world, well maybe only a billionair, wearing that Hawian shirt. I'll bring it to the next meet-up because its good for a laugh.

Us New Yorkers always have fun.

John's reference is to these vitamins I use to use back in the late seventies and early eighties. Macho-Vit was powereful stuff, but John forgot these other sexual enhancing vitamins that came out after Macho-Vit was discontinued or banned: Jack-Rabbit. LOL.

Omg, Machovite. How could I forget that??? I can't believe you found info on it. I did a bunch of google searches and found nothing. LMAO.

Actually, I think there are loads of billionaires who don't know how to dress and often wear jeans and white jogging shoes.

I was just kidding about the name-dropping thing. You're actually not doing it right. If you want to do proper name-dropping you should always refer to celebrities with their first name (or preferably an abbreviated form like 'Bob' for Robert, etc.). Then after a quick pause you look at the person you're trying to impress and tell them the last name as if you're trying to be considerate and just remembered that they don't know who you're referring to. :)

Should say: Your girlfriend(s) will tell you how much of this medicine to use and how often. Do not use more medicine or use it more often than your girlfriend(s) tells you to.

An additional warning should be added: Basically if you are in your teens or twenties you become a sex machine and may have to resort to Plan B. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE ALONE. LOL.

Jamie,

You are correct. I have a rich brother who retired when he was in his mid-forties, but basically if he was in New York City he could easily be mistaken for a homeless person. Not because his clothes are dirty, but because of his disheveled look.

His name is Sunny BTW, but I have two brothers named Sunny just like in the Bob Newhart Show. Chinese Asian names are kinda funny because they are two sylables, so Sun Pan and Sun Fah becomes Sunny for both of my older brothers, because I'm a slacker.

Tonight, September 8th, is Fashion Night Out.

Anyone else going to be shooting this great opportunity? Basically all the high end stores and all the boutiques will be having events and parties from 7:00 PM till 11:00 PM.

Expect exhibitionism where you can do street shooting inside. Also window displays with live models.

I'm feeling lucky. Right now the rain seems to have stopped. Last night they were saying the major part of the rain was 7:00 AM this morning. Looks like the bulk of the rain is behind us and the humidity is dropping.

I wonder if we'll see any super-models tonight? Last year they made it easy to get some vanity shots posing with a super models.

Cal
 
Restaurants will be crowded this evening. Popular, trendy ones that is. A problem with a 2 1/2 year old, who will be with me tonight. That is why I'll probably head home after the opening or eat in Chinatown, which is always my favorite place to be.
