I have worked for the Ground Crew for many years and I thought about all the backstage experiences that we have had and what that looks like. We (the Ground Crew) were backstage for some of (kind of all) of the major players of the fashion week world, but we were largely invisible....we can talk about why in another post, but here are a few stories and I hope to interview other Ground Crewers for all the Tea you miss when watching those fashion videos. More stories to come but you can check out my Youtube Ground Crew Play List. Audrey's Clap Back Vera Wang Mariah Carey...no tea! My Favorite Scissors Buy the book She got more stories than I...
As I was cleaning out one of my closets for a redo, I went through some photo boxes and found these two envelopes. 1st envelope was filled with Poppy's photos (my grandfather) who saved these photos from where....I don't know. Maybe they came from green cards, he was born in St. Vincent....what ever the case, it is an interesting find. See the video here Poppy 2nd Envelope What a great find! I was cleaning up for and pulled out some old photos and found this envelope of interesting portraits. It has my Mothers name on the envelope, so maybe she got this in college, she was a graduate of Hunter College. These two artist were commissioned to create these portraits...
I was reminded by my good friend that this event was happening Friday/Saturday September 18/19 in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
These are her photos from Friday.
Here is what I saw Saturday in Brooklyn
Over two days, a breathtaking herd of life-size buffalo puppets will gather in New York City. Part spectacle, part ritual, Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupi invites us to join the herd as they roam, graze, and run wild through downtown Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan, encountering live music, poetry, ceremonies, and performances along the way. Inspired by the buffalo’s extraordinary return—from near extinction to repopulation—Return of the Buffalo ushers in a new period of healing. See more here
