New York is the snotty, uber-fashionable girl who you admire, and sometimes wish you were. But if you were her you wouldn't really be happy, just on lots of prescription meds and beautiful. and in some respects life would be easier. and in others it would be more difficult.
new york is very in your face. and as much as i have been there before, every time i go there, it NEVER fails to surprise and stimulate every sense i have.
i went to the theatrical production "Sleep No More" in which i observed an acting out of a bloody orgy which involved a woman with a shaved head, a bison head and a fetus. and naked people. it was probably one of the weirdest most bizarre theatre experiences i've ever had. and don't ever want to have again!!!
It's amazing how different subway lines are so blatant of socio-economic status. Some line i'd be the only white person on the train, others there would be no people of color. Unlike other cities, the difference in race and economy and those problems are in your face, reminding you we are not perfect. Here in Austin, I feel numb to the socio-economic injustices because it goes unspoken, unnoticed. Maybe I'd be more aware of it, if it was seen every day like in New York?
I feel like if you live in New York you become a bit snobbier or ridiculous, against your will. At one point at brunch the waitress brought out two wine glasses instead of flutes for the champagne because they had run out of flute glasses. Two people at our table gave the glasses the most surprised, dare i say, offended looks. As if this was a faux-pas to be taken seriously. I found that image to be fucking hilarious. Reality check, people!!!
Another really funny thing i noticed is that everyone is trying to get somewhere on time and no one is ever on time!!!
All the bars were super fun. I LOVE the fact that bars don't close till 4am. More time for fun in the evening.
I like looking at the way New York girls dress because they all are very fashionable and know what's up. Like a walking magazine.
New York is one of the best cities in the world. It is full of life, in your face, and super crazy all the time with ENDLESS options. But i can't say i'd ever like to live there. Maybe if i had a shit load of money - then ya. lol. I guess i just don't like the pushy-ness it seems to bring out in people. That "dog-eat-dog" feeling. I could live without that. I like my cities a tad more laid back!
My FAVORITE part was the New York Public Library! but i guess that is a given ....
I also went to a Matisse exhibit and it was breath-taking. So many bright colors and happy pictures he painted in his long lifetime. And oh, those little gold fish in the bowl! :)
