DOS & DON'TS

So you Junior Mengeles weren't content with your cockapoos and beagadors and pugadoodles and now you've graduated to full-on monstrosities like giant two-mouthed pit bulls and sideways husky-terriers. Disgusting. At least Dr. Moreau had the decency to keep his abominations locked away on an island. Comments/Enlarge | See all


Going to Europe and seeing people under 30 who don’t look like they’re wearing drugstore GG Allin costumes is such an ocular relief it’s like shooting valium into your eyes. Comments/Enlarge | See all

HEY, WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG THERE, HUH?


Fred
Postcards: “I’m originally from France. I pick these up to write folks back home.”

Journal: “Mostly I just put my ideas in here, but sometimes I write about things that have happened. It’s all in French, though, see?”

Camera: “I am a photographer. This isn’t the camera I use for work, just a small personal one.”
Chiara
Hotel bill: “I just got in and stayed at the Hudson Hotel the night before last.”

Lipsticks: “I’m totally lipstick-crazy. I really have no idea how many I’ve got in here.”

Bike key: “I don’t have my bike out today, but that’s for the chain.”

Rinazina: “This is from back in Italy, you all don’t have it here. I’ve been getting really stuffy because of the seasons, so I keep it with me.”



Saki
Sketchbook: “I’ve had this one a little while, so it’s getting pretty full. I was drawing in it right before you came up.”

CDs: “Just a few I grabbed on the way out this morning. I think I’ve got Jandek in there. I was just listening to Daydream Nation.”

Notebook: “I use this to write down bands and movies and things I’d like to see or get into. Otherwise, when I go to a store I totally blank on what I’m looking for.”




Edward
Cans: “It’s just cans. I take them to the Key Food, they give me five cents for ’em.”

Bugler Tobacco: Do you have a thing for this particular brand, or is it just whatever they’ve got? What?



Mark
Sign for getting your name in graffiti: “This is how I get by.”

Subway map: “Some of the guys here go way back, you know?” So wait, these are all by different people? “No, this is all me, all my stuff.” Oh, I get it. ‘Guys.’

Calligraphy instruction manual (sketched in): “I grabbed that to keep up on my form.”

Tube of circular cotton pads: “That shit’s my girlfriend’s, I have no fucking clue how it ended up on me.”
Van
Naloxone: “This is for heroin overdoses. It blocks the opiate receptors, which reverse the effects of the heroin for a short amount of time while the ambulance gets there. It’s not for me; I work for a couple harm-prevention agencies in the city.”

CPR mask: “This is for when the Naloxone isn’t enough to get them back breathing.”

Condoms: “These are for personal use.”

Anchorman DVD: “A good time.”



Jim
Jackets and woofer: “These are things I picked up to sell. That’s a good woofer there, I’d give it to you for $50. Nice jackets, too.”

Computer: “It’s just a computer. There, see? It’s a computer. Christ.”

Blazers patch: “That’s just some patch I’ve been carrying around. I like the flames comin’ out of the ball.”



Kelley
Portfolio and sunglasses: “I’m actually from Austin. My boyfriend and I just got here a couple days ago and have been just kind of hanging around and trying to set up interviews.”

Boyfriend’s socks: “Hey! There they are. This morning we were packing up, and we spent probably 30 minutes looking for these socks. We just kind of wrote them off as lost.”

Address book: “I got this a while ago at this place back in Austin. I really like the cat on it.”
