Mountain Eagle/Scholarie News Review for "Forgotten Spaces" at Roxbury Arts!

Rob Brune of The Mountain Eagle (an accomplished photographer in his own right, check out his work on Instagram @rob.brune ) was kind enough to review the “Forgotten Spaces” show at Roxbury Arts and feature my painting “Last Sighting”- what an honor! He interviewed me about my work; you read it below, and I've transcribed the full interview below as well. Many thanks to all the nice people and artists in the Delaware County community who came out to support the show- it really was a fabulous, fun opening. The exhibition is at the Walter Meade Gallery, Roxbury Arts Center; 5025 Vega Mountain Road, Roxbury, NY 12474

The Walt Meade Gallery is open Tu – Sa, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm, and during scheduled events at the Roxbury Arts Center. The gallery is also open by appointment. To request an appointment in advance please call 607.326.7908.

And a reminder that “Last Sighting” is available for sale through the gallery; It’s framed in a beautiful dark walnut floater frame and available for the very alluring price of $875. If you are interested in this piece or know someone who might be, please contact Ursula Hudak at the gallery: community@roxburyartsgroup.org or call Roxbury Arts during business hours at 607-326-7908.

Is this the first time showing in Roxbury?

 This my first time showing In Roxbury. I’d been to the gallery before, and thought it was a beautiful space to show art. I love the theme of “Forgotten Spaces”, so I was thrilled to have my painting included in their exhibition.

 In your bio section you describe ‘Last Sighting’ as “…suggestive rather than defined or detailed.” Would you also describe it as impressionism?

 In a way, my work is impressionist, but also influenced by the Barbizon School of painting, in which there’s an emphasis on subtle variations of light, atmosphere and depth- with a more subdued color palette than the Impressionists favored.

 If so, who would you say were influencers of this style for you?

Some of the painters whose work I admire working in this way are Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Jean-François Millet and even Gustave Courbet (although technically, he was considered a realist).

 Over the past 2 - 3 years Delaware County has seen more and more highly talented artists showing their work and living out here. What drew you to this area?

 I’m originally from rural Duchess County and have spent a lot of time in my early youth exploring the Catskills area, so I’ve always had an intense fondness for these mountainous landscapes. The most striking thing to me about Delaware County is the sense of community, warmth, and openness to culture that I experience every time I’m here. I’m always uplifted and inspired.

**********

The Walkway over the Hudson (also known as the Poughkeepsie Bridge, Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge, Poughkeepsie–Highland Railroad Bridge, and High Bridge) is a steel cantilever bridge spanning the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie, New York, on the east bank and Highland, New York, on the west bank. Built as a double track railroad bridge, it was completed on January 1, 1889, and formed part of the Maybrook Railroad Line of the New Haven Railroad.

It was taken out of service on May 8, 1974, after it was damaged by fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and its entry updated in 2008. The bridge was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2009.

It was reopened on October 3, 2009, as a pedestrian walkway as part of the new Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park. The New York State Bridge Authority owns and is charged with maintaining the bridge structure (as directed by the Governor and Legislature in July, 2010). The park is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. In 2017, the walkway hosted 593,868 visitors. The park connects the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in Highland to the Dutchess Rail Trail, and forms part of the Empire State Trail.

At a length of 6,768 feet (2,063 m), it is the world's second-longest pedestrian footbridge at 1.28 miles long. It held the title as the longest footbridge from its opening until fall 2016, when it was surpassed by the 7,974-foot long (2,430 m) Mile Into the Wild Walkway at 1.51 miles in length

Mills Mansion-Staatsburgh State Historic Site, Dutchess County, New York

In 1792, Morgan Lewis, the Governor of New York, bought the estate of the present Mills Mansion, which sat on 334 acres of land. In 1890, Ruth Livingston Mills, the great-granddaughter of Lewis, inherited the Staatsburgh New York property. At the time, it was a 25- room mansion sitting on 342 acres of land. Mills Mansion, as it came to be known, was one of several homes that the Mills family owned and maintained in the Hudson valley area.

By 1890, Ruth Mills had become one of the prominent women of the Gilded Age and was known for entertaining lavishly, similar to other women of the prominent and wealthy households of the time.

(Hallway of the Mills Mansion. (Dining room of the Mills Mansion)

Ironically, the Mills Mansion was not considered commodious and lavish enough for the Gilded Age society. In 1894, Ruth and her husband, philanthropist Ogden Mills, hired an architect to design a more prestigious home.

(The Library)

The Mills Mansion is listed as a New York State Historic Site and is considered to be one of the great remaining symbols of Gilded Age architecture.

"Any coincidence is worth noticing..." Agatha Christie

Hi Skippy & Friends-Pilgrim here having just noticed a strange coincedence…and with this sorry soap opera we know to question everything…perhaps this has already be discussed. 1. “According to a report, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s mansion in California was invaded two times by the same intruder over the holidays… by a 37-year-old Nickolas Brooks who was caught trespassing on December 24, 2020. Officers with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office did not charge him and gave him a warning, TMZ reported. Sources say that the man had driven from Ohio to the home in California. Officials say it is unclear why the 37-year-old showed up at the house and if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were home.” 2. Now, I just read a news story from the New York Post in 2018 about the NY city trust fund kid, Nicholas Brooks who lost his final appeal and was convicted of murdering his girlfriend, Sylvie Cachay in a Soho House bathtub in 2010- the Meatpacking SOHO House which is the first one set in the historic meatpacking district in NY city. This man is the son of a songwriter Joseph Brooks, who won an Oscar for the 1977 hit “You Light Up My Life” who was indicted on his own charges of raping or assaulting 11 women who then committed suicide while waiting for his trial. Yikes!!! My question is, why does the intruder have almost the exact same name? The only difference is in the spelling of the first name but then the connection with SOHO House sent my red flags flying…just think that is quite the coincidence, no? Over & out.

Thank you,  you are quite the detective Pilgrim......it is very odd indeed😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Verbank House in Dutchess County, NY

Sep 15, 2020

Verbank House

Architect: Jill Porter

Location: New York State, USA

Problem: How can we transform a colonial 80’s home into a modern farmhouse?

Exterior Solution: A new entry porch/roof, coupled with new board and batten siding, black windows, and modern lighting, give the home a crisp, modern farmhouse feel.

Interior Solution: Staying true to the rural roots of Dutchess County, the interior invokes a farmhouse feel without relying on nostalgia. Rather, design choices draw from a palette of modern and bold materials.

Seeking a country getaway from NYC, Jill Porter’ clients were drawn to this rural property as it has beautiful acreage, a pond, and privacy. Verbank House, however, was in dire need of work. Not only was it dowdy and dated, but the home’s interior layout left the kitchen and dining room divorced from the beautiful grounds.

In order to lift this house out of the early 80s, the clients wanted an exterior makeover with a modern farmhouse feel, and a new interior imbued with sunlight and design-rich finishes: bold and elegant materials, colors, and patterns. Mindful of the overall budget, any changes needed to be surgical, as my clients did not want to enlarge or alter the existing footprint of the house.

To complete this transformation, we first considered the proportions and volumes of the front elevation, as the front entry was dwarfed by the long roof. To this end, we broke up the existing roof line with an a new entry porch and gable roof. Although the change was limited to the entry, the new entry proportions changed the complexion of the whole front facade. New board and batten siding, black windows, and vintage lights provided the finishing touches, giving the home a crisp, modern appearance.

The back side of the house was nothing short of awful, due mostly to an ill-conceived addition. Oversized dormers sat on top of a screened-in porch, unusable due to it’s long, skinny proportions. The kitchen had no access to the exterior, nor broad views of the beautiful grounds. And the closest bathroom to the pool and patio required a walk through the screened-in porch, family room, and kitchen — a long trip for wet feet!

Changes to the back facade went hand-in-hand with the changes to the interior layout.

Long arrays of windows and doors were added to the dining room, kitchen, and former screened-in porch (now part of the family room). The new windows and doors firmly establish a relationship between the interior and exterior, frame views of the property, and wash the interior with sunlight. Furthermore, interior spaces were shifted and reconfigured, allowing space for a mudroom, as well as a new bathroom with access to the outdoor patio and pool.

Interior spaces were designed for family living – neither fussy nor precious, but designed with an eye towards color, pattern, and whimsy. Staying true to the rural roots of Dutchess County, the interior invokes a farmhouse feel without relying on nostalgia. Rather, design choices draw from a palette of modern and bold materials.

Kitchen: The focal point of the renovation work, the kitchen is a joyful space marked by rich and natural materials: custom brass hardware and range hood, marble tiles with hand lithographed patterns, gorgeous slabs of Breccia Capraia stone, and white oak furniture. Upper cabinets were completely eliminated to maximize windows and sunlight, and to give the space an airy feel. Where there is upper storage, we opted for open shelving with custom brass supports — not only beautiful, but family friendly, as the open shelves provide easy access to everyday plates and glasses.

Mudroom and bathrooms: A combination of high and low materials (i.e. affordable subway wall tiles with beautiful pattered concrete tiles), each space has it’s own feel, and the patterned floor tiles conceal the mess inevitably left by a family with kids and pets.

Living room bookshelves: Avid readers, my clients needed shelves for the growing library of books. We designed new shelves — almost 13’ long — with custom brass brackets. The brackets were conceived as a folded piece of paper, and function as both bookends (giving structure and order to the long array of books), as well as the bookshelf’s primary form of support.

Working with my clients was a total joy. They presented me with many of the material selections, and together, we composed an interior that feels true to place, yet unique and personal.

JACOB FRYDMAN DISCUSSES THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET

According to worldwide management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, virtually every modern industry is experiencing some form of digital disruption. Historically, commercial real estate (CRE) has sustained a culture of cautious strategies and resistance to major change, yet in today’s world new technologies and digitalization are increasingly being embraced as assets by even the most staunch market conservatives. 

Despite the growing trend for consumers to shop via ecommerce platforms, retail rent pricing in major cities across the globe remains sky high. In the United States, commercial real estate is estimated to be the country’s largest economic asset with $24.14 billion invested in the first half of 2018 alone. This behemoth industry offers vast opportunities for digitalization and as such, has attracted ecommerce platforms such as Ten-X which aims to fundamentally change the experience of investing in CRE. The company has processed over $20 billion in CRE transactions since its launch in 2009 and works towards simplifying and streamlining the work of brokers worldwide. Ten-X is not alone in the scramble to align with a business niche that generates nearly $1 trillion in revenues annually. Inspired by the success of Airbnb and WeWork, venture investors deployed over $5 billion in 2017 to engineer software and platforms with an aim to revolutionizing the CRE market as we know it.

In the U.S.A. the transition to a new, digital ecosystem for residential real estate transactions is already clearly evident in a multitude of cloud based data streams delivering faster and more customer friendly service to the average consumer. This has empowered property developers and owners to better market, manage, maintain and monetize their assets. Looking purely at CRE investments, Jacob Frydman sees the real advantage of technology implementation as a massive time-saver (freeing up brokers from manual and repetitive tasks) and facilitator of fluid communication by providing multiple parties with real-time data access. This results in greater opportunity for relationship and network building between agents, investors and sellers with much less time spent on administrative workflows. Technology has also benefitted the industry by generating greater accessibility to new demographics through virtual property tours, purchase facilitators and remote management service providers.

Jacob Frydman is a leading real estate investor and consultant based in New York City. He graduated from Boston University with a BS in Finance and a JD from Case Western Reserve University School of Law. Frydman has been a frequent guest speaker at the New York Law School and at Columbia University where he lectured on real estate and finance. He has gained international recognition through his successful investment portfolio of property development projects implemented over the last 30 years and valued at over $2 billion. He is also a dedicated philanthropist and generous contributor to various charitable organizations. He has served on the Board of the Jewish Federation of Dutchess County, NY, and has been an avid supporter of the National Committee for Furtherance of Jewish Education (NCFJE), Chabad of Duchess Country, and the Brem Foundation of Washington, DC.

Kendall Francois AKA “Stinky” Show Notes and Transcript for Upstate True Crime Podcast

Young Life

Born 7/26/71

1/20/75 when he was 4 parents moved to 99 Fulton Ave in n Poughkeepsie NY Which is 70mi north of NYC. Where they will stay for the rest of his life.

Ages 5-12 was bullied by students at Arlington Middle School (it’s now closed permanently according to Google.) For his weight and height.

When he’s 13 & 14 he starts to play sports and joins the wrestling team for Arlington High School. It’s at this time he starts to fit in or feel like he fits in. 

He graduates from high school, joins the army and is stationed I. Honolulu HI. But then returns home after being discharged from the army, and attends Duchess county Community College. 

He was discharged for being obese - *it’s sad that no one could help him with his weight.* I’m not sure of anyone tried.

He then gets a job as a janitor/ custodian for Arlington School district  but quickly gets promoted to hall and detention monitor 

So he was just manning the halls making sure all the kids were in class. It’s scary to think that he was so close to children after we find out who he really was

For some reason, he makes the decision to start killing women.

*

(WENDY MYERS)

October 24, 1996 (Kendall is 25)he picks up 30 year old sex worker Wendy Meyer’s. They negotiate a price and then had sex. During sex Kendall gets angry thinking that Wendy ripped him off. So he strangled her until her hyoid bone broke and she died. After, he washed her body and put her in a black garbage bag and put her body in the attic of his parents home. 

2 days later on the 26th Wendy’s boyfriend reported her missing. she was also known to the police. 

GINA BARONE

On November 29th Gina Barone and her boyfriend Richie get into a fight while driving. The argument got bad so she told him to let her out of the car and then told him to get lost. So he drove away, but when he came back she was gone. 

*

Needing a fix, Kendall picked her up, and she did know him so she wasn’t afraid he was a regular client. They agreed on a price and he drove to a secluded parking lot, according to Kendall she started to say things to make him mad, so he choked her until she died. He then took her back to his house and hid her body under his mattress for THREE months.And then put her in his attic.

*

On December 9th Gina Barone is reported missing by her mother Patricia after Richie tells Patricia she is missing. This is the first time Patricia meets Gina’s boyfriend. 

Gina had a good child hood despite the fact that her father wanted no part of being a father. Her mother was like, “that’s fine I can be both and raised Gina by herself. Gina was a great little girl and in Patricia’s words, “lovely.” Unfortunately when Gina turned 15 she fell in with the wrong kids and was negatively influenced, this is when her drug use started.

By the next year, when Gina was 16 she had dropped out of school and became too much for her mother to handle. Patricia would start finding her daughter on the streets, but it’s not clear at what age Gina started sex work. When Gina turned 21 Patricia told her she was going to move into a smaller one bedroom apartment. Gina told her mother that, that was fine and she would go live with her boyfriend. 

Unfortunately the relationship didn’t work out for Gina so she bounced around from various homes from ages 21 - 24. At 26 Gina had a little baby girl named Nicole, Gina loved her so much but because of her drug use was unable to care for her. So Patricia ended up raising Nicole. 

Fast forward to Gina’s disappearance, detective K. Skip Mannain of the Poughkeepsie Police Department, was in charge of Gina’s case. So of course they looked at Gina’s boyfriend Richie first. And he wasn’t a stranger to law enforcement, but he was only ever charged with crimes like theft or selling drugs, in the documentary that I watched they called him a, “street guy.” But he was also on and off on drugs, Det. Mannain  said when he was off drug he was a nice guy but on them he was different. After investigating him they cleared him of any involvement. 

Cathy Marsh

Two days later on November 31st his thirst to kill is getting stronger. This day he brings his mother to work at the Hudson River Psychiatric Hospital (so ironic) and after dropping her off he goes off looking for another victim. Francois finds sex worker Cathy Marsh, they again negotiate a price and he brings her to his home. And guess what happens? He chokes and kills her, then washes her body before putting it in a black trash bag.

Look up  why killers wash a body after killing the victim

I looked up why killers especially serial killers wash the bodies of their victims and found in a thesis called Male Serial Killers and Criminal Profiling Process by Jennifer R. Phillips from Eastern Illinois University: 

“All serial killers make some sort of response upon seeing the reality of death ("The Split Reality of Murder", 1985). Some cover the body, wash wounds, or respond in a way that demonstrates remorse or concern for the victim. Other killers either hide or bury the victim's body to keep the murder secret, thus remaining in control of the situation”

They pulled into a parking lot but as they did that, a guy comes running out of a gas station yelling for the detectives saying a woman has just been raped.  The woman who was raped was sex worker Christine Salah. Another source says her name was Diane Franco, but i’ll just use the name I saw in the documentary. 

*

She was crying and had severe bruising especially around her neck. At first she was reluctant to talk to police because she thought she had a warrant, and i’m sure because of her job as a sex worker. But the detectives assured her that she was not in any trouble. But they kept asking who did that to her, she yelled out, “It was that big Stinky fucker Kendall.” 

*

Her story was, That she was picked up in the morning and he drove her to his house. They had sex multiple times but he got mad when he finally had to pay her, That is when he started to strangle her. While he strangled her she was able to talk him out of killing her and to take her yo get cigarettes. And he did, but when he got close to the gas station she ran out of his car into the station and never came back out. That is also the same time the detectives spotted him. wow Fate!

*

Christine was the break in the case that they needed. On September 1st, 1998 with her statement an arrest warrant was issued for Kendall he was brought in.  Kendall spoke refusing a lawyer and admitted to assaulting Christine. He  said he did get upset but then calmed down, and that he was only trying to give her a ride into town, but she ran away.

*

The detectives then told him that they were getting a search warrant for his house, Kendall was shocked and just told them to give him all the pictured of the missing sex workers and the head prosecutor. According to Detective Mannain he said Kendall was flipping through the photos like he was looking at a family album. He then confessed to all the women he killed, by pointing to the photo’s and saying, “killed her, killed her…”  He also explains how he killed each woman without any emotion.

*

Police are now thinking they are going to be searching the woods and city for the bodies, but Kendall tells them the bodies are in the crawl space of his house. New York State Police, City of Poughkeepsie police and Town of Poughkeepsie police all went to the house where Kendall lived. They all surrounded the house before going to the door with a search warrant. The entire family was taken to the police station for questioning,

*

When searching the house with hazmat suites on, it smelled so bad that the smell of decomposition just blended in with all the other smells. They searched the attic and they found decomposing bodies. 

*

The investigation on the house lasted for 29 days, looking on the outside and inside and combing through like and archeological dig. But the house was so dirty that if you leaned on the wall there would be a film of dirt left on your clothing along with a stench. There were even animal feces on the floor, what the fuck!!.

*

In the Attic they found 5 bodies, three bodies are found together wrapped in plastic, one of them Kendall started to dismember one of them. Another body is found in a child’s pool, and the fifth body was found in a can. One of the officers had to leave the scene because the smell of the body in the can was so bad.

*

They then checked the crawl space where they found three bodies of the most recent women who went missing. It took three days to find all the bodies and transport them for an autopsy.

*

While all this was happening Detective Mannain went to visit Gina Barron’s mother, to let her know that they might have found Gina’s body in the house, but wouldn’t know until the medical examiner identified her. 

*

The 8th body found was unknown,  she was a 34 year old woman who moved to Poughkeepsie 6 months prior to gong missing, and she was also a sex worker. But was the only one who wasn’t reported missing. Her name was Audrey Puglisi.

*

Michelle Eason  was not among the bodies found nor did Kendall say that she was one of his victims. 

  From September 2nd to the 5th all the bodies were removed from the house and kept for 2 weeks for further investigation. 

On September 4th he is indicted in Dutches County Court House for the murder of Catina Newmaster. And has the nerve to enter a Not Guilty Plea. 

On October 13th 1998 he is formally charged with 8 counts of 1st degree murder, 8 counts of 2nd degree murder and one count of attempted assault.

While in Jail he tests positive for HIV 

And on August 7th 2000 he confess to all the crimes in a plea deal to avoid the death penalty and is sentenced to life w/o the possibility of parole. Although back then HIV was almost a definite killer. 

irritating though he becomes a welder and is paid $30 a week, I have an issue with someone like him being able to have any privileges.  Him along with so many others should jus be put into a dark hole and be able to live just exist. 

In one of the articles that I read from psychologists from Radford University, they wrote this about him and its verbatim:

Kendall Francois is an individual that does not display the characteristics one would normally expect of serial killers. While most serial killers are white males, Francois is an African-American, making him very unique. When examining his childhood, it is interesting to see that there is no detectable history of abuse, head injuries or brain abnormalities. However, this did not guarantee a wonderful childhood for Francois, as he grew up impoverished and did not enjoy the comfort of a large group of peers while in school. Children would make fun of him and ridicule him for his large size at such a young age. In addition to lacking criteria that is commonplace to many serial killers, Francois was also not involved in any of the components of the triad of a killer as he grew up. There were no known instances of animal torture, bed wetting, or fire setting. Although common criteria is lacking, something triggered psychologically in Francois on October 24, 1996, the date of his first kill. Whatever it was that caused Francois to kill a prostitute on that day replicated inside the mind of Francois seven more times. The tragic result was the murder of eight prostitutes by this unique and bizarre killer. There are a variety of factors that may have been influential in triggering the multiple killings committed by Francois. The large man, physically unattractive, demonstrated hostile aggression on numerous occasions. His body odor and lack of hygiene contributed to the ridicule he faced in school. It was not the only time he would experience ridicule however, as many of the prostitutes that he killed had made fun of or ridiculed Francois just prior to their very own death. It is hard to determine what the final event in Francois’ life was that drove him to commit eight murders. Nonetheless, the African-American serial killer, with mixed components of organized and disorganized killing, is a very different and unique type of serial killer.

For what it's worth...

For what it’s worth…

Released a few months earlier, I didn’t hear this till early spring 1967. Driving to my maternal grandparents’ home in Milan, NY…a bit outside Red Hook in Duchess County. There was a family favorite coffee stop west of the Connecticut state line…and this was on the juke box. Someone else had played it. I heard it and went to the juke box to see who this was, the name of the song. And played it…

Thoughts on THOTS: Chapter 14 Peen Parade

So after a lot of encouragement from @lizzybeth1986, @violetflipflops and @feisty-mary, I have decided to gonad up and start posting stand alone reviews instead of bumming off of Lizzy. So here we are.

So this has been quite the week.  So much to discuss. Let’s make like the Black Eye Peas and get it started. Heads up, its a long one.

I feel like PB has been very generous this week.  They are like, “Call us Santa & Co. ‘cuz we outchea giving gifts to all the LI stans” PB: Here you go Liam stans. Liam Stans: Thank you, PB

PB: We see you Drake stans, here is something for you too. Drake Stans: Thank you so very much, PB.

PB: Maxwell stans? Maxwell Stans: Yeah? PB: I don’t know if we have anything for you Maxwell Stans: *faces fall, eyes well up with tears* PB: Sike! We got y'all too. Maxwell Stans: 

SUPERCALLAFRAGALISTICEPIALAHOLYFUCKINGGODTHANKUIVEWAITEDSOSOLONGTHANKU 

Hana Stans: What about us? PB:

I am a Liam stan, but even I feel away about Hana’s treatment these past few chapters. I mean a lot of her diamond scenes are initiated on the idea that she is helping you impress someone else.  I haven’t really tried to romance Hana so I can’t speak to the romance part. We were in Hana’s home country for the last TWO chapters but the diamond chapters with her don’t offer very much about or even center Hana. Hana is from China but the folklore about koi cam from Liam? I could go on but there are people who talk about this WAY better than I do.  I am just saying it’s one thing to make a point to include a diverse, LGBTQ+ character there, its another to do so in a meaningful way.  If Hana is there simply to be an endlessly supportive bestie and a love interest but doesn’t really get the same careful development that the other male love interests get this relegates her to a token.  That’s messed up.

I wouldn’t quite call it the Ultimate Sausage Fest because nobody’s dicks touched.  I would call it a Peen Parade. Lots of dudes and shitty gaudy parade clothing.

Like Home Alone 2, we are lost in New York. Everything about this chapter is like:

No seriously.  So. Many. Questions. I will get back to those. For the sake of being linear I want to address something. That fuckass bitchass assass voicemail that IT left to MAXWELL. I am over here listening like:

I have a phone too Demon.  Why didn’t you ring up MY line directly?  I know why: You’s a bitch. Not that Meredith Brooks “I’m-gonna-reclaim-bitch” bitch or Lizzo’s “I’m-100%-that-bitch” bitch. Nah. I mean bitch as in you are a coward. Also, this is a fuckass task to set up some real fuckery in the coming chapters. Maybe even force a book three.  

I am surprised that the Demon didn’t show up at all. In fact, the Demon has been conveniently absent a lot. Don’t get me wrong, I am not exactly looking to see that dusty heifer befoul my sight.  But the Demon not being around means that IT is up to something. What that something is, I don’t know.  

For instance IT could be also looking for Tariq too.  Tariq could be minding his business at some riddiculously expensive restaurant doing a great job at being not in Cordonia but a shitty job at keeping a low profile. 

He is talking to a waiter like “I would like to go off menu and have a fillet mignon, medium rare but slightly more rare than medium with a Bearnaise sauce…” Before the waiter can tell him that he can’t go off the menu like that, the Demon shows up in a hoodie and Drake’s sunglasses like this:

“How 'bout a side of knife?” IT says and then stabs Tariq in the chest. I mean Connie may not literally be a MurderKing, but that demon being a MurderQueen2B? Would not put it past IT.  

Also can we talk about the ring, why did A Demon use Dean’s engagement ring from RoE? I thought IT would have at least wanted William’s ring from RoE. Then again, the ring is to symbolize a union with a man IT doesn’t give a solitary fuck about what so ever.  If she doesnt care about the man why would she care about the ring?  Personally, I am just going to take it as one of many indications that this was indeed a fuckass errand.

Drake was there, he wants to dress up Liam like a pirate.

Okay, with that out the way.

Well questions.

Drake, I know that you are simple ass dude kind of dude. I can appreciate that.  I just can’t suspend my disbelief that you are really going wedding gift shopping for your best friend who is a monarch at NotIKEA or at a hardware store. What are you thinking? I know this has more to do with PB only having so many backgrounds than Drake actually being this inept. PB either make the background you need or rethink your story.  

Anyway the whole point of the shopping trip is to gift Liam Jess’s compass from RoE and for PB to force Halle to demonstrate terrible taste by putting Drake in those god awful sunglasses.  Drake didn’t protest because he only knows about whiskey, beige food and meat, and whatever his official job is in court.  Issa look. I will get back to these terrible ass clothes later.  Just know I am in my feelings.

This UN dinner is a fraud! How did Halle have to talk to some Italian ambassador in Capri but doesn’t talk to a single dignitary other than the Champagne Mami? How come Halle had to be there, Liam has to be there, Champagne Mami has to be there but the Demon is conveniently missing? 

What about the rest of the female members of the court? 

A UN dinner is the perfect place for a multiligual, ambitious woman like Kiara who would like to work for any of the foreign ministries to network.  I will not under any circumstances believe that Kiara was like “It’s ShondaThursday. I can’t!” Especially in the age of DVR and HULU.  Apparently Kiara was there in passing.  She was the one who recommended the roof to Maxwell.  Knew that Kiara is too smart to pass up this opportunity.  Still sucks not to see her though.

I could believe that Penelope would skip this.  Penelope hates parties like this which is something that she said at the last foreign dignitary party. The Demon isn’t going to be there. Penelope can be like “Well if Madeleine isn’t gonna be there, I am skipping the bullshit too.  If anyone is looking for me I will be hugging up on some dogs at the animal shelter. Deuces." 

I might believe that Olivia may not show up for a few reasons. One, free food and booze is not a motivator for her as it is for the rest of us simpletons. Nothing is as good as anything in Lythikos. Even the air in Lythikos is more airy-er. NY air smells like piss.  Olivia could skip the entirety of NY for that reason alone. Two, since the courting season or whatever Olivia does not give a fuck about participating in royal court.  She’ll be there when she’ll be there. Lastly but also most importantly, Connie done fucked up when he thought to threaten The Duchess of Lythikos. Olivia is a lot of things, but she isn’t the one.  Sure ain’t. Olivia didn’t come to that sad, retirement community center party because she was busy doing this:

Making some calls…

Training…

She is coming for that ass Connie.  She may pull the plug before Halle.  The only thing that could possibly keep Connie from getting his whole ass handed to him by Olivia as opposed to aggressive end stage lung cancer is if Connie tells her the whole truth about her parents.  I could see Olivia at least pausing to get those answers. Then she’ll be like:

Why isn’t Hana there? She is a member of the court and has no reason to miss this.  It’s not like she is scouring New York for practice puss.  I can appreciate that so much of Hana’s life is in flux right now. However I do not see Hana as the type to just let herself be driftless without some kind of anchor even during a time like this.  While she is unsure of what she wants or what’s next I think that Hana would have still come to the UN shindig.  If anything else, Hana knows how to be at an event like this, can benefit from networking, and it could be affirming for Hana. Not in this massive way but in that she knows how to do this. So I call bullshit.

Hana can’t be in attendance but Maxwell can be there to embarass the whole fuck out himself? I know you have home training.  Why are you like this? It’s not the time to literally play with your food. Maxwell really has no sense of time and place whatsoever. This is why Bertrand has to get you together sometimes.

As for the Champagne Mami herself, I really like her. I know that she could be in on the fuckery if not an active participant of whatever that Demon is up to. However, I still really like her and I am going to make her my mom now.  I could see Champagne Mami and Halle just living, enjoying each other’s company. They are cackling in the corner of some stuffy ass party in the UK. Waiter: Would you like some spotted dick? Adelaide: Are the spots something that can be cleared up with antibiotics? Asking for a friend. Halle: Girl, you so bad! Adelaide: No you are. *They cackle together loudly*

So, at any minute PB is just gonna be like:

So the Demon is not even the duchess of its country, just a county. Your inferiority is showing again heifer.  Maybe the Demon takes all of its time wielding the little power IT has in a way that inflicts pain because it reflects how truly powerless IT feels. Hmm.

That tidbit came from the .000003 seconds that Justin dropped by.  He certainly made his time count.  If I have to assemble a team to beat A Demon I am picking Justin and Olivia.  Dassit. Justin is a great strategist that can outsmart the Demon and Olivia is additional brain power + brawn.

I am really happy for Maxwell stans.  Y'all have been waiting, biding your time, and your patience and persistence has paid off. I am hoping that the romance upgrade includes some character development for him. I did not play the scene for romance but Halle and Maxwell do have a real moment where she thanks him for making this experience happen for her. If Maxwell didn’t think that Halle could make Liam happy he would not have been inspired to sponsor her.  His sponsorship made this whole experience possible. So even when he regresses in a way that makes me wonder if he has any untreated brain injuries, this whole experience is thanks to him. I am glad that is acknowledged in writing.

Maxwell stans you are one step closer to making this happen:

I am happy with the Liam diamond scene this week.  He is literally crazy in love with Halle.  I ain’t mad at it.  He gets sweeter and sweeter every time we are alone with him.  He is so sweet I am actually concerned that Halle is going to wake up and Liam has transformed into a Haribo gummy bear.

But Liam also did this:

What are you trying to say? This only tells me that Liam hasn’t actually tasted a Cordonian Ruby straight from the tree recently if not longer. I think Liam’s perpetual boner for Cordonia could be having an adverse affect on his taste buds. Them apples are nasty raw. Just a fact.

I know if Liam and Halle were to literally start fucking in Central Park, Hana stans would rightfully start a riot. With that said, I know that he has that on a list somewhere.

These clothes.  Bruh.  We need to talk. 

Drake’s was the least offensive since it was really the sunglasses that killed it. 

Halle’s dress is kind of matronly.  It reminiscent of what a girl would wear to a cotillion.  Halle is literally waiting to be presented to black high society arm in arm with the son of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Fontaine. And even when Liam got to dress down, Halle had to stay in this awful get up.  So now Halle has to be out here looking like some budget Glinda the good witch holding hands with a dude in joggers. Yuck!

As for Liam’s outfit, I am here for the tight shirt, I am not as bothered by the novelty aspect of it (it might be kind of cute). Liam picked the pants. I now know that Liam has never shopped for his own clothes a day in his life and it should remain that way. Liam has many talents but clothes shopping ain’t one.  Liam is a fucking king and he can live without ever having to learn. He will be just fine.

What really has me feeling a way about these clothes is two things.  One, for all of these cothing options you have to pay diamonds.  You pay your hard earned money to dress poorly.  Spending that money but still coming out like Ugly Betty. On top of that insult, not only did you spend money on this, PB has the whole entire nerve to blame Halle (MC) partially (Liam, Halle made the top) or entirely (Drake’s outfit is all Halle) for these poor satorial choices.  Halle’s character has been assassinated y'all.  Halle has been defamed.

So Bertie is back just in time to tell us that we are going to LA to look for Tariq.  I am not sure what finding Tariq is going to do.  Connie is the one behind all of the bullshit.  Unless the Demon did something to blackmail Connie, I don’t see how this clears the way for Liam and Halle to get married.  Also, I guess your enemies did get bolder Connie.  How effective is your leadership if the Demon can blackmail its way directly to the throne?  Also, what does the Demon have over you that you just can’t diffuse?

So we are going, going, off, off ,to Cali, Cali. At least Liam is letting us use his jet. How much do you want to bet that we are going to end up on a beach so PB can use that beach background?  Maxwell stans are probably going to taste Maxwell’s dick before Drake stans will taste his. That has to sting, but not as much as Hana stans not having a passing mention of Hana in this chapter. Y'all better get your ducats ready. Liam stans may not really see Liam. I am a little sad, but PB is not disrespecting me as intensely and thoroughly so Imma shut up and let it stand.

I still want a panda for my royal wedding. I would also like to kick that demon into a pit 300 style.

Also wrapping up my first fan fic.  I hope to have it out in the next couple of days. “Why am I saying that here?” asked nobody.  I need peer pressure to make me stop being so nervous and get it done.

Upper East Side Townhouse, NYC

Jan 6, 2021

Minimalist Classic Upper East Side Brownstone

Architects: JBA Collective

Location: Upper East Side, New York City, USA

The aspirations of this project was to envision a one of a kind home, embracing minimalism and contemporary design culture, while respecting historic urban context and structure. JBA Collective’s design for this Upper East Side TownHouse did just that through a consistent interweaving of materiality, program, light and nature. The resulting home contains four bedrooms, five bathrooms, an art gallery, entertainment spaces, private living and dining spaces, interior and exterior gardens, gym, and library.

What was the brief? JBA Collective’s design brief when commissioned for this project was simple in theory, complex in execution. The client requested a design thematic, “Soho meets Upper East Side” which in New York City terms dictated a sleek minimal design and modern open living concept, while respecting the historic urban context, and providing warm residential atmosphere.

Who are the clients and what’s interesting about them? The project was a true client / architect collaboration. The clients, an art dealer and creative director visionary, brought their passions and eagerness to explore design to every detail of the project.

What were the key challenges? The existing building site, preserved by the Landmarks Commission, is only 16 feet wide (4.8 meters). The original interior was claustrophobic and segmented for an outdated model of living; providing spaces for the elite owners and staff quarters. While preserving the historic building character and structure, the site was stripped down, program reorganized, previously delineated spaces opened, and exterior fenestration expanded.

What were the solutions? To provide for a modern style of open living, within the confined vertical stack of the traditional brownstone, a novel design approach was required to create a seamless flow of contiguous spaces. The traditional parlor floor was rethought to act as an airy interior to display a contemporary art collection and entertain, with high ceilings and broad wall surfaces.

A new stair was designed to pull the occupant fluidly through levels. The stair and handrail act as a sculpture unto itself, linking the entire home together through clean architectural surfaces and natural material details warm to the touch.

The service kitchen was raised from the basement to the second floor, providing natural light for an unbroken sequence of family-oriented spaces for cooking, dining and living. A hydroponic greenwall was designed to provide a year-round sense of nature and warm microclimate. The culmination of the home was the transformation of an existing attic into a sun filled office, library and exterior terrace.

What building methods were used? The gut renovation of this 19th century 5,000 square foot (460 square meters) historic structure left no detail unresolved. The existing brownstone was stripped down to its bare structure and squared to allow for the precision required by the new minimalist details.

Natural marbles were sourced to provide a consistency of hearth and overall residential warmth of six fireplaces. Native elm, oak and walnut woods were woven through horizontal and vertical surfaces for comfort and natural tactility. Custom plumbing fixtures and furniture were fabricated locally to create this truly one of a kind townhome.
