inspiration
furniture (especially chairs from the 50s and 60s), uniforms, repeating patterns, menswear, Oscar Niemeyer,
traditional Japanese architecture, the Rimpa School and Ogata Korin's 8-Point Bridge, Matisse, bromeliads,
succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,
low-resolution images, the photo copier, off-registration prints, Max
Ernst's Lunar Asparagus, NYC fire call boxes that look like Kannon, Fauvist color sense, the Noguchi Museum,
pretty much all of Abstract Expressionism

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

the ace hotel is a comfy place to hang
 At long last, The Ace Hotel Post is up! Sorry for the delay.
I had so many pics to Photoshop for this one.
 I think it's best to keep this post a photo essay with little comment from me.
Just see for yourself, and enjoy.
 Just inside the front door... ...is a minimalist flower concession.
 Shiny new check-in area.
Where else in NYC can you combine trendy people-watching with a comfy place to sit on a cold day? Well, probably any place in NYC that has seats. But then again, The Ace Hotel on 29th and Broadway is a brand new scene to explore, study, make field notes and theorize about, and the like. So why not go to The Ace? You can take your coffee from the Stumptown Cafe and occupy some pricey real estate in the lobby for as long as you like. Really, they don't mind! The Ace Hotel20 W 29th Street New York 212.679.2222  Stumptown Coffee Roasters is the cafe in The Ace Hotel.
Enter on 29th Street or through the lobby. There's always a line.
But it moves fast.
 My favorite barista.
 Action-packed. The barista is a blur. Do they all wear ironic hats?
Yes, I do believe they do.
 Taste of the case at Stumptown Cafe.
 I always opt for the same. A soft pretzel and a macchiato.
(Two of the few offerings sans pork.) Yes The Ace loves the pig.
I think it is trendy to love pig. So they do. Oops, and I said
I wasn't going to editorialize here...

The lobby is 1800s-grand-style.
And I love the lighting. It's definitely pre-electricity-style lighting.
Of course the whole 1800s pre-electricity aesthetic is just a pose.
