the campbell apartment was once an office leased by john campbell from cornelius vanderbilt in 1923. after his death in 1957, the space eventually became a signalman’s office and later a closet at grand central, where the transit police stored guns and other equipment. It also became a small jail, in the area of the present-day bar.

The Selby is in your Place opened last week at Colette in Paris including some photos of cheri and i from our much missed former new york home. everyone todd photographed was invited to sell their stuff at the the selby shop, where you can find some posters and shirts (also for sale online) i created and some awesome brooches and necklaces by cheri. the party continued on into the wee hours and included some selby/cobrasnake DJ’ing, and a awesome unitard’d performance by mike & jen. thankfully the Vélib’ station outside the club was broken because riding home may have not been the smartest idea.

the ace hotel palm springs is officially open and i’ve yet to come across a disappointed reviewer. complimentary have’a chips and a bar called the ‘amigo room’ are reason enough for me to endure a little traffic. hopefully i can get out there before the spring breakers. photos from ACL where you’ll find plenty more and some reviews in the comments.

the musee de la chasse et de la nature is dedicated to the art of hunting and nature. each room or cabinet in the mansion turned exhibition space is a devoted to a separate theme – its definitely worth a visit if you’re in paris.
