Beale Street, Memphis

Lots of big-ass beer

Our gain…

Accessorized horse

Lots of doggies along for the ride

Anticipating the pork

And there it is…

Beale Street could come up with something better than this, no?

The husband, like this pic

Sweet shirt alert! We’ve seen a number of printed shirts with similar awesomeness.

Dictionary time. We’ll let “rite” slide, but here’s hoping this is […]

This sign in front of a bank in Sao Paulo cracked me up. It’s so much more expressive than the usual marked disabled parking spots - you can almost feel the ache in the back.

This time with a view of Sao Paulo. It’s pretty f*cking astounding - 29 million people over 6,332 square miles. You can’t see the end of it. By the way, it looks blue and clear, but about 10 minutes prior I was completely soaked through in torrential rain.

Just a couple things about the Houston Airport, which I had never been to before. First, there’s the high-end kiosk with iPods, noise-canceling headphones, etc. Then there’s the airport employees on Segways (shown below, the dark image). All very on the up-and-up, but then virtually all of the magazine selection was a week or a […]

OK, this is it people, you’re probably sick of London photos, but I figure you can always skip them if you’re done. These are two bathroom extremes: on the left, the ‘XLERATOR’ which sounds like you’re on a landing strip but really does the job, leaving hands dry and warm in lightning speed; on the […]

Liked this local pub, The Victoria, not far from work

The Victoria

Office holiday party at The Big Chill

Lots of dressing up in fairy wings, sombreros, mustaches, etc. Who knew? It was like holiday inspired Halloween

The Cuban Brothers entertained

Party at Rough Trade - booze and karaoke, you can imagine the rest

Made a mad run to Oxford Circus to Topshop

Liberty of London, wish I had more time for all the department store shopping here

I have to say, everything does seem so civilized; Liberty window, Regent Street Soho

Liberty window

Windows at COS, H&M’s new, higher end, more mature chain of stores, Regent Street, Soho

More Liberty, etc.

Carnaby Street

Nice, tasty, […]

Just had to take a picture of Navajo Joe Restaurant; went to the Hawley Arms in Camden, Amy Winehouse’s watering hole.

Inside Market, a fantastic restaurant

A room with a view, or rather, the view from my room

The tube; really nice handcrafted leather at this shop in Camden Town

Camden Market, saw a dress there with the same fabric as a dress at Target on La Brea

Definitely a gothic vibe along Camden Hight Street, very youthful, something like Melrose east of […]

Look how tiny this coke is on British Airways, a little less American fatness; way more food on international coach flights

Watched the Darjeeling Limited… and Sliding Doors until I fell asleep, pretty lame that movie; the logo for some media company - not called dog farting, or canine fartsville, but can’t remember the name

Pure California […]

So, I didn’t actually stay at the Royalton Hotel while I was in NYC, but I spent some time there - one night wandering in there for a drink with my cohorts, having had a delicious dinner across the street at French-American DB Bistro Moderne (there were lots of French people, which seemed like a […]
