Hello Kitty Sculpture in New York City

Hello Kitty is in New York City on 47th Street and 2nd Avenue until September 13. I went in May and I was so thrilled to see see her in her glory. Kitty is a 9 feet tall hallowed out sculpture created by Sebastian Masuda. Children their families are encouraged to add an object into the Hello Kitty Time Capsule. This project started in Miami  last year and after September 13 the exhibit will move to Amsterdam then the Sculptures will reunite in 2020 in Tokyo for the Summer Olympics.

Funny story: I looked around and there was no one around to take my picture a bunch of business men walked out of the building ignoring my smile and camera in hand ready to approach them, then there was a bottle collector with a grocery cart filled with bags of bottles and cans, so I was getting frustrated but laughed at myself. How could I not find someone? So I see 3 people chatting nearby and I ask the man if he would mind snapping a picture of me and this amazing sculpture. Well they all looked at me like I was insane. I was taken aback, I did apologize for the interruption why were they staring at me like that? Well one of the ladies laughed and said This is "Sebastian Masuda" the Artist. I said "oh this is lovely piece of art and asked can you take a picture of me and her?" (Seriously) Well the woman who told me he was the artist said "I will take the picture of the two of you!" And so I got the honor of having my picture taken with the Artist. lol

Flying Tiger Copenhagen Fun Store in NYC

A fun new quirky store that carries so many fun items has opened in the Flatiron District in NYC and it is called Flying Tiger Copenhagen. It is located at 920 Broadway and 21st Street. It reminds me of an upscale Dollar Store but with cuter items and yes, everything is priced $1 and up truthfully I did not see much double digits but will go back and check it out further and call it "research"! I randomly took pictures and missed so much because I wanted it all and was overwhelmed; in a good way. I heard that they change items often and can not wait to go back.
