Many years ago when I was a student in London, Time Out magazine was my bible. This indispensable city guide was my ticket to culture, cuisine and cool. I still feel that way about the magazine – especially when they feature something as awesome as this…
yep, that would be me! well, really my apartment, but we’re are somewhat one & the same. I am incredibly thrilled and humbled by the experience. The support of friends, clients and basic strangers…
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the newest staff member here at photojeanie HQ. Tater Tot the bulldog puppy was handpicked by our senior social director, Little Bit. An excellent addition to the team, we are still fine tuning his role in the company. We believe Tater Tot has a bright future in the pr department as he has taken a dozen meeting since arriving and really commands a crowd. We expect great things from this feisty young…
Now is the busiest time in a visual artist’s calendar year – October’s prep for holiday has segued to November’s installation. While I may be hip deep in glitter and fairy dust that doesn’t mean I should shirk my blog writing responsibilities. Very early this morning when I was rolling out of Bergdorf Goodman‘s employee exit, I was thrilled to see the Halloween windows were still intact and with my sub par Android camera I snapped a few shots. I…
I’ve been buying a lot of photography of late (damn you, Fab!) which is awesome, but problematic as there is zero available wall space in which to feature it. Recently, I stumbled upon Ryan Roberts‘ brilliant and hilarious photo work. I could have easily purchased the entire collection! Since I want to acquire (another) brother for Little Bit, I need to be prudent with my art allowance.
Ryan Robert‘s photography encompasses all that I love – bright colors, graphic paper…
My Etsy shop was never intended to be a money maker, but rather an opportunity to further market the apartmentjeanie brand while simultaneously ridding me of my ornate frame hoarding practice. Recently I had been approached by a potential customer who really liked the epoxy resin frames that fill the shop. She wanted the silver art deco frame to be converted into a mirror with a custom finish. Until you have sanded, cleaned, painted, glittered and covered something in…
The other night I was awoken by the sound of a beer bottle breaking and a melee of voices that could best be described as auditions for Jersey Shore. From my 2nd floor opened window perspective there was a lot of posturing and zero punching. The antagonist, who could easily be a voice double for Ronnie seemed to be removing himself from the skirmish only to keep shouting at the wasted hysterical protagonist, “walk away son, walk away” which…
Well, technically no fish will be caught, only sun rays. The hardworking staff of photojeanie, apartmentjeanie & partyjeanie will be taking an extended re-mix summer holiday to ensure fall freshness! There are clients to meet, surfing to watch and actual book reading to be done.
Hope the rest of your summer is hot & cool.
xxoo.
In light of the most recent installment in the ‘how to be a gracious guest’ series, it has been brought to my attention the excuse reason many do not send a thank you note is out of ignorance as to what to actually write. As surprised as I may feign, this is not my 1st time I have given a correspondence tutorial.
Many, many years ago when…
It has been a lovely event – you danced, drank and dined and now it is time for you to depart. And at the appropriate time too – not the first to leave, but certainly not the last. You do NOT want to be that person. The last to leave is neither helpful nor welcomed – just lingering because there is alcohol available and the hostess has doesn’t have the gall to escort you out the door. Regardless how…
Recently I was talking with a friend who was back in NYC for the 1st time since moving to Chicago. She regaled all the running around she was doing in order to see everyone and everything that was important in her life while living here. For a vacation it sounded absolutely exhausting.
Which is precisely why I have little desire to move from New York City, as I never want to be a visitor. What makes this city special…
