Coney Island

Cory, Kim and I went to Coney Island for the Mermaid parade. Kim is a rare New Yorker who is from Brooklyn, most people I've met through work are transplants from other states. 

There were more drunk mermaids then I anticipated but it was pretty glamorous. 
Coney Island reminded me of a Stephen King novel that just came out, Joyland. 
Especially with the creepy smiling face logo that is everywhere. 

It was like a pretty, dreamy nightmare, especially with all the people in costume and garish makeup and floating Jellyfish.

Jazz Age Lawn Party at Governors Island

http://www.jazzagelawnparty.com/
This past weekend, Cory and I attended the Governor's Island Jazz Age Lawn Party. It runs for two weekends every summer and is an event completely dedicated to all things jazzy and 1920s. There's an orchestra, a dance floor, a St. Germain bar, old cars, and loads of beautiful, stylish people dressed up in period-appropriate wear. It's basically a visual heaven. I mean, I already love beautiful people, but when they put on original vintage 1920s lace dresses and linen suits, I black out from joy.
