You put the ART in Barter!

The other day I dropped by my friend Chelsea Pettyjohn's place to pick up some art work. I've been following chelsea's blog for a while now because I really admire her work. You will see why if you check her work out. Chelsea and I trade art for hair. Here's what I picked up!

Also, my friend Ben stopped by Headhoods to see me the other afternoon for a haircut. Ben runs a small brooklyn based brand, BKNY. Ben bartered one of his latest shirts, and if you take the time to check out his stuff you'll see why I love his work. Check out some of these shots taken at Headhoods!

Barter Barter Barter!

I've been trading my trade here and there, where ever I can, and if there is one thing I could suggest to anyone it would be to barter. We are in a city full of skills, and right now who wouldn't rather trade than pay?

I would love to introduce my new friend Kenzie Pause who is a fantastic yoga instructor. We met when clinton and I attended a yoga class 2 blocks away from my apartment at BedStuy Yoga. Kenzie is a wonderful instructor and also the creator of All you need is love yoga which is yoga to the Beatles music. Beatles yoga is a 75 minute class that takes you on a physical, mental, and somtimes even emotional journey through energizing asanas (poses) to revitalizing pranayama (breathing exercises) to a soothing yoga nidra (deep relaxation) complete with the music of one of the greatest bands ever. Needless to say I was talking to kenzie about her beautiful curly hair before the class even began, and we worked out a system of bartering. Hair for yoga!

Knot tie in July!!

I was contacted early June by the lovely Nancy Kim about her wedding in July. The wedding was held in Central Park on a beautiful Saturday morning. Once again I tag teamed with make-up artist, Rebecca Casciano. When all was said and done Nancy looked beautiful. She chose a Gorgeous curly style and 2 Orchids!
