SCANDALOUS TABLOID NEEDLEPOINT?
A collection of NY Post and Daily News front pages created by artist Brigid Berlin, a central character in Andy Warhol’s circle. She has an exhibition opening on Oct 21 and running thru Nov 22.
As the gallery says, “Her subjects are typically crude, salacious paper-selling press announcements in origin designed to appall, shock, and titillate viewers.”
Trivia from Wikipedia: The artist’s sister “Christina was instrumental in engineering the defection of Russian ballet star Mikhail Baryshnikov. The third sister, Richie, was…the roommate of…Edie Sedgwick.”

THIS BEARD HAS FLOWN
At one point a New York judge, Philip Straniere, decided that growing a beard would be a good way to protest the capping of NY state judges at $136,700 for the past ten years. However, he changed his mind recently and shaved.

According to abovethelaw.com, “Straniere has not given up the protest, but he has given up the beard, in order to look less like Father Christmas while he runs for a state Supreme Court judgeship.”
(Subtitles: “Father Christmas” means “Santa Claus” in American.)

Moreover, check out their “series of essays exploring the history, architecture, art, film, music and culture of New York City.”
