another eye opens

great day at Gunnison Beach with Allen, Andy, Randall, Erick, Mathew, Paul and Carlos (Omar and Brian left earlier than we did)

we took the Seastreak ferry from 35th Street, glimpsing lower Manhattan from the East River

Sandy Hook has the oldest lighthouse in the country

we didn't get on the ferry we wanted to come back on because it was already full

Allen had to cancel an appointment and threatened to whoop my ass (not!)

we took the bus to the Bird's Nest to while away an hour with margaritas

and sailed home as the sun went down

brunch at Extra Virgin in the West Village with Phil (above), Bob, and Andy

sunbathing on the Christopher Street pier next to these guys, a BUTT magazine spread just waiting to happen

swimsuit beauty with jewelry

business as usual, even on the pier

the building that waterfront development forgot

Andy's barber Geno, who just opened his own shop on Greenwich Avenue

Allen and Andy hanging out on the Fourth of July

my dear old friend Joe Martin is visiting NYC from Washington, DC

we spent a lovely evening on my veranda, him telling stories about working with Barney Frank and George Clooney among others. But he HATES having his picture taken.

can you see why? he looks at the camera with true hatred

After dinner at the Bay Leaf with Stephen and Andy, we walked around the block and checked out the latest windows at Bergdorf Goodman.

same night, different gallery

shot in the dark

when red-eye is an enhancement!

secret smile

scary much?
