These are some songs from Shiny Toy Guns very first studio album when Carah Faye Charnow was still contributing to the lead vocals. Her voice is perfect for the synthpop and electronic sound of their music. Okay. Gotta go make the most of my day off! Happy Birthday MLK!

Jealousy. It's a dangerous emotion that I hate. I had a best guy friend once who was married to this person who could not control her jealousy. It made her crazy. She developed issues far beyond my acceptance. We're not friends anymore. So since then, I refused to allow myself to feel jealous. You let it in and it just consumes you. Like cholesterol. The bad kind. I was pretty successful until now. I went to a wedding recently where the bride and groom surprised all of their guests with this frackin' AMAZING video. It was so good that it was all I could talk and think about for a week. I was just completely envious that I did not come up with it first! Actually, I like to think that I had something to do with them coming up with the idea since they were in the NYC video that I made. I hate them. When the bride called me three days after the wedding to see what I thought, I was like, uh ... hello? ... I hate you. See what jealousy does? Timothy Tse did such a good job. I looked at some of his other work and I really like his video editing skills. The photography however not so much. I would mos def think about hiring them as a videographer for wedddings and such. Queenie and Gau, y'all deserve an Oscar! Check out their awesome acting skills. They're such a hoot!
Edit: So the video won't show. Just click on box and a new window should pop up with the video. Do it. It's worth the watch.

Just like I cunningly guided my group over to the bronze bull, Miss Flowerchild guided us over to the big George Washington at Federal Hall. It was on those very steps in front of Federal Hall where we filmed our opening sequence for my mini-NYC video. I really need to get moving on the full length one. Fotos below were all taken in the Financial District area, which includes Federal Hall as well as the bronze bull.
The LOVE sculpture. I could not pass it up. I wish we did more fun poses. But man. Raw feet. Zero energy. And people waiting there turn for their own foto op.
