Met this artist on the street in SoHo, 2010 Revisited him- he is now well established. His continuous strand wire portraits are of real people. The titled ones are of burlesque personalities. These are signed with his signature in the bends in the corner. His work is wondrous to behold.

A Weapon
Attended an alternative theatre happening in a 3rd floor loft space in Brooklyn, and at the entrance on the ground floor, stood a French speaking man, handing one of these to everyone who entered.
Yet a Mystery
You can see the outfit: green body suit with a pair of outer-skivvies. Couldn’t get a closer picture because as the norm is pay to photograph, this was another !4th Street-Union Square performer I was not certain I wanted to encourage.

One had to consider a height phobia; it felt more like ‘flying’ and that we should be issued seat belts at that altitude. A bit of planning – had opera glasses with me. …
How the Actor Business Works…cont’d
Had an opening night performance this past Friday. Following the performance someone from the theatre space pulled me out of the crowd as I was leaving and said someone wants to meet you. I was taken to the bar to meet a producer of a film. After he explained what the project was, and after …

Hey [fill in my name], this is [fill in her name] I am calling regarding [fill in name of project – which I neither understood nor recognized] you auditioned for about a year …
And
the reason there have been fewer posts: out of those auditions mentioned, I am now cast in a one-act play that goes up mid-May, a delicious, short, commercial movie that shoots sometime in the next two weeks, and start rehearsals for a supporting role in a webisode. This is what living in the City is …
