I'm soooo excited/happy/crazy right now! It's my second day in New York and seeing as I'm wide awake at 5am I think jet lag has set in - but I don't care! We're staying in an artist's loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Pablo and Veronica are our hosts and they are also organic chefs. Yesterday was busy busy busy - I'm here with my pal Jeanne who is also a jewellery designer and we ran around a bunch of stores showing them her dreamy jewels. We hopped around independants on the Lower East Side and some glam boutiques in Soho. We ended up in a sushi house called Avenue A, with it's glossy black interior and guitar rock jukebox I thought I'd tripped back to the 80s.
We also dropped by the hippest boutique on the planet - Missbehave. Samantha already stocks my jewellery and I was super pleased to see my goodies displayed on a vintage owl and tree stationary rack and in a trophy cabinet - too cute! I did take a photo, but as I'm no David Bailey the picture was too blurry to include. I hope you enjoy the pix I did take (above and below) the interior of the shop is high school heaven - school lockers house sweaters and Samantha sits at teacher's desk infront of a black board with cheeky messages graffittied all over. This chick is seriously inspiring - the clothing and artwork is street but cute, hip but witty with a whole loadda attitude! I love it!
I have lots more planned for my trip which includes:
• Mermaid parade on Coney Island this Saturday (David Johansen from the New York Dolls is gonna be the Mermaid King)
• Renegade Craft Fair on Sunday
• Visiting the fashion departments of Cosmo Girl, Elle Girl, BUST and Nylon next week
• Drop in and meet the gang at Fred Flare on Sunday afternoon
• Show my jewellery to Mini Mini Market in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
• miss my boyfriend every day because he's looking after everything back home - so don't worry if you have placed an order recently it will still be with you super quick*
OK, I gotta sky rocket outta here - there's a boat trip ticket round Staten Island with my name on it!

"New York, New York"
New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
New York City is my favorite place
'Cause I know so many people with a golden face
Uh-huh
It's always late at night when I wanna go out
And New York City has for sure the horniest crowd
Especially for me, this is true,
I have the best time when you're there too
Honey, after the show, when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AMPM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
New York, New York
Yeah!
New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
Uh-huh
New York City is a place so nice
Everybody says it so they had to name it twice
New York my happy love's you, I love you very much
I could not live without you, so let's always keep in touch
New York City has the fanciest rule
When you want to live in this town you just have to be a fool
After the show when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco, after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AMPM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
New York, New York
Yeah
It's going hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top
Hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top
Let there be light
'Cause David Bowie's gonna be here tonight in New York
I create ecstacy in my world
I know who I am
And I am willing to declare myself to the world
I am a star!
I

hi!may i know what's the address of missbehave? I wanna go there!i'm in new york right now. thanks! :)
Missbehave is at - 123 eldridge street on the lower east side. I was coming from Brooklyn so I took the J, M or Z downtown and hopped off at Delancy/Essex station. It's only a 5 minute stroll look at the map on the subway station to find your way. Have fun!
