Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Got Hair?

Cut it for a cause!
My day started with a pair of soiled manties at McCarren Park and later progressed to door-to-door pussy solicitations, so I guess it is only logical a hair drive would follow. The above flier (which hails from Pets On The Run) reads:
My Two Dogs will be donating as much fur as possible to a non-profit organization called Matter of Trust, which has createda fur collection drive. Both dog and human hair is adsorbent (sic), meaning oil will cling to it. The hair is stuffed into tubes (booms) made out of pantyhose. Then the booms are tied together to contain the oil spill.
So there have you. No mention of cat hair is made so I’m guessing it is not absorbent. Too bad.
Got Fur?

Happy Memorial Day From New York Shitty!
While not exclusively American, I cannot think of a better way to give a nod to Memorial Day (and all things red, white and blue) than the new and improved El Blablazo tree pit. Great job guys!

Urban Fur: Beating The Heat On Manhattan Avenue
I cannot thing of a better way to spend a balmy Sunday afternoon than doing a little laundry and sharing some watermelon with your best friend. This is too cute for words!

I asked a gentleman working on site when this, the most snazzy laundromat I have ever seen, was slated to open. He said in a couple of weeks. So there have you!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Found On Dupont Street
Jay Lombard (who sent me the above photo) of Dog Habitat writes:
Heather- please post this photo. This dog was found as a stray (with choke collar) near manhattan ave and dupont a few days ago and we’ve been trying to find the owner. We heard that there was a man driving around the area looking for a lost dog, but we have no other leads or contact info. We’re hoping one of your readers will recognize this pretty, brindle female pit mix.
If you know who this handsome pup belongs to please contact the folks at Dog Habitat at 347-601-8678 asap. Thanks!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Driggs Avenue
Speaking as someone who deals with a great many men who will buy the most revolting pornography imaginable and then become shrinking violets at the possibility their friends and neighbors will catch a glimpse at their purchases (hence they ditch the VHS boxes and insist upon their merchandise being placed in black plastic bags) I really admire this guy. He wanted a copy of Polish Playboy so he went out, bought one and he doesn’t give a shit who knows it. Bags are for pussies.
In closing I’d like to share a piquant observation the Mister made when I showed him my discovery. He posited that this is proof that men really do read the articles. When I asked him to elaborate he pointed out a Polish man is carrying a Polish copy of Playboy. Had he only wanted to ogle naked women he wouldn’t have cared what language this magazine was in. Very true.

New York Shitty Day Ender: El Blablazo
Today as the Mister and I were walking to Animal Planet to purchase some cat food we noticed a flurry of activity at the El Blablazo tree. Something was clearly up, so we went in for a closer look.
I asked the man presiding over the scene if they were prepping for Puerto Rican Day (which is coming soon). He enthusiastically answered to the affirmative.
This is awesome.
