If you want to see some painfully bad Photoshop, go to the Queens Bound platform of the Crosstown Local at Greenpoint Avenue. The above photograph is but only a taste of what awaits you. Ouch.

Crosstown Local Fashion Watch: Pretty In Pink
Today yours truly went for a photo walk with a good friend of mine: algul siento. Although it was a most enjoyable jaunt it was cold. Bitter cold. However, when we hopped on the G train at Broadway this woman’s fabulous fettle (and attitude to match) warmed us up considerably. After I took the above photograph this most stylish lass said:
Please don’t make me look fat… it’s all skirt!
Inasmuch as I can ascertain— and not that it really matters, mind you— it was.

Special thanks/props go out to Dale for spotting this most excellent find (and illustration of what the MTA does it’s G train ridership so very well). Bravo!

Contrary to what some might think yours truly exercises some semblance of ethics when photographing people on the street. It is neither my purpose nor my desire to laugh at people. Which brings me to this.
I cannot tell a lie: I had a lot of trouble suppressing a chuckle.
But given the rather, um, copious notices I spied when exiting the Crosstown Local at India Street this afternoon can you blame a man (or woman) for being dazed and confused— or dare I say: possibly a wee bit pissed off— by our mass transit system? This is the real Greenpoint, folks— and don’t you forget it!
Fortunately there are intrepid souls who see fit— quite literally— to cut the crap.
CASE IN POINT: the Spring Street station in SoHo.*

Crosstown Local Photos Du Jour: To The Dude Peeing On The Metrocard Machine This Morning
Filed under: 11222, Bum Shit, Crosstown Local, Dung of the Day, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
You must have been pretty drunk since you did not seem to notice me. To refresh your memory: I was the woman in the furry jacket waiting to use the Metrocard machine for its intended purpose.
Damn.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Happy Hanukkah From The MTA!
Not really—- but I thought this subway themed greeting card (as brought to my attention by my buddy Dreidel Hustler) was too cool NOT to resist posting. Hell, it even includes the Crosstown Local! Or part of what is left of it, anyway. If I had one criticism of this card it would be this: they forgot the manifold and baroque service suspensions for the aforementioned “line” on weekends. In any case, you purchase ’em in packs of six by clicking here!
