Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Cheer!
This festive holiday tableau (which features none other than the 42nd President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton, sporting a rather sizable cigar!) hails from Franklin Street.

P.S.: It is even more stunning after dark!

Many of you will recall the weather last Sunday was downright dismal. This is why I and undoubtedly many others stayed home. If Greenpointless’s lovely photographs from the Virgen de Guadelupe Parade on Manhattan Avenue (like the above image) are any indication, we missed out on something really special. You can view her entire set by clicking here. Go ahead and do it; you won’t regret it!

THIS WEEKEND: Sip & Shop
Yesterday I shared with you the good news (for holiday shopping procrastinators like myself, anyway) about the Greenpoint Reformed Church’s Holiday Flea Market. Well, I have even more local shopping goodness to pass along: there will be a second sale the same day only blocks away!
Among the goodies promised at this event are vintage apparel, hatboxes, decorative items, kitschy curiosities and “retro drink specials”. Although I myself make it a point to never drink and shop (it’s hazardous to my wallet) this sounds like a mighty fun way to get one’s holiday shopping done while buying local. Check it out!

THIS WEEK: Tits 4 Totes Calendar Party
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Advanced Life Forms, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
No, not those tits (as seen at left). This event will be showcasing the more comely (and hopefully less aromatic) variety to raise funds for the North Brooklyn composting project. My tipster Angela Barrow (of Cheek-ie Designs) writes:
greetings miss H!
I am an avid reader of your blog. I love it! and a fellow greenpointer, i have a great event this friday. It’s free! There are calendars for sale and a portion of the proceeds go to benefit the north brooklyn compost project! which is totally rad. Â Hope you guys and gals can post this event and attend.
Here’s the deal:
On Friday, December 18, 2009 starting at 7:00 p.m. Williamsburg’s very own Fluke will be inaugurating the 2009 edition of the Tits 4 Totes Calendar. This 11″x17″ “black and white beauty” will feature (and I quote) “26 of Brooklyn’s loveliest tits as well as unique recycling tips”. This can be yours for a mere $20.00. How can you top that? Methinks I know what Santa will be putting in the Mister’s stocking this year…

Spotted on Manhattan Avenue: VENDORS NEEDED
As I was coming home from picking up some groceries I encountered a woman putting up these fliers. I asked her for more information and she gladly obliged. Here’s the deal:
1. This upcoming Saturday, December 19, from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. the Greenpoint Reformed Church will be hosting a Holiday Flea Market.
2. To this end they need stuff to sell
3. You can help one of two ways:
- You can donate items to the church (please note the flier state that “no crap” will be accepted) or
- You can contact the Greenpoint Reformed Church at the above telephone number about having a vending table!

Think about it: Williamspoint’s most talented can earn a little money this holiday season. Shoppers can purchase gifts for their loved ones. All while benefiting a terrific cause: feeding north Brooklyn’s neediest. Everyone wins!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Home For The Holidays
This morning I was pleased as punch to learn via my photo pool that Edie the strap-hanging hamster isn’t just another pretty face on the 4 train. She is also a rather talented chef.
Great capture, Victoria!
Miss Heather
P.S.: Oh yeah, are Edie’s culinary services for hire? Just curious.
