Artful Journaling!
I love my scanner! One of my favorite things to do is to take freshly cut images and/or textured/patterned paper and write or draw all over them. Then I can scan the image and play around on editing software. The result is a mixed media collage that looks both organic and [...]
Another Man’s Treasure
This post seeks to inspire. A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I inherited 3 very cool cameras: 2 from his dad, and 1 which was given to Anthony as a young boy. It all began when I was having fun with my Holga, and Anthony remembered that he had an old [...]
What I’m Doin
For the last three years, I’ve been almost exclusively playing with my band Binky Bianca, along with the rare demo for TV. Before that, I wrote songs and sang them on my own, performing wherever they would take me!
For today’s blog, I thought I’d share a demo I wrote back when the band was [...]
Lensbaby, baby!
I first heard about Lensbaby through Conni, one of my favorite rock-n-roll photographers. (She took our wedding photos!) She saw that I was getting in to the toy camera craze, and mentioned that I might find Lensbabies fun too.
Lensbabies are a great selective focus lens to add to your camera goody bag. I consider it [...]

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love the story of Alice in Wonderland. What stands out most about the story is all of the vivid characters. I was lucky enough to find some of my favorite characters as jewelry on Etsy.com!
Each character in Alice in Wonderland (and in the sequel Through the Looking [...]
NYC Lomography Gallery Store Visit + New fav Photog!
Lomography is a great way for all of us creative people to express ourselves and document our crazy lives! On the weekend, I visited the NYC Lomography store with my friend Chester (aka Chet). Chet and I already own one toy camera each. He has a Fisheye, and I have an Actionstopper I haven’t used [...]
92Y Ron Arad lecture
On September 17th, I witnessed the very quirky, very charming Ron Arad speak at the 92Y. This was the first in the Dialogues with Design Legends series, curated by Daniella Ohad Smith. It was a 3 part lecture; first a slideshow from Ron Arad, then an interview portion, followed by a conversation with the audience [...]
Fashion’s Night Out
I had an impromptu night on the town yesterday: Fashion’s Night Out! The event was meant to “enliven the consumer spirit”! You don’t need convince me, but sure, I’ll bite!
That night, I was feeling underdressed, what with my Doc Martens on and all, but my brother convinced me to go, and I don’t regret it! [...]
In the Mail!: FSc’s muZz Sketch Guidebook
Finally! Look what came in the mail! Vasgail’sミューズ ガイドブック Guidebook. (I’m not sure what the Japanese characters mean, in case anyonewants to translate.)
As you can see, I am obsessed with unwrapping and unboxing things; especially when they are wrapped with such care! I try very hard not to rip the paper, but it [...]
