This morning yours truly got up bright and early to take a walk. Heatwave be damned. I make such sacrifices for my readership.
I was quickly rewarded for my perseverance when I met the above lass. Her name is Liz and I found her fashion sense quite stunning.
I asked her if she made the above necklace (which as you will note includes an abacus: this appealed to my inner nerd in a big, big way). She answered to the negative; she found it while working at a second-hand store and was immediately smitten. This is understandable for a number of reasons— especially since (as I later learned) she is a fashion designer. You can (and should) view Liz’s work by clicking here. It’s seriously fun stuff!

It’s been awhile since yours truly has posted material pertaining to the film industry’s affection for my community. Thankfully today I got a much-needed reminder. As you can deduce from the above missive (which is located on Bedford Avenue at Manhattan Avenue), shooting “on location” is not merely about, well, location: it apparently also includes the citizenry contained therein. Note how the “general vicinity” seems to include a bus stop. This puts people (some of whom I would presume need to ride the bus in order to go to work or otherwise go about their daily lives) in a very interesting predicament: do they stay and therefore “consent” to being filmed/monetized or do they go elsewhere?

P.S.: Is this legal? I really want to know.
