franklin park reading series.

damn! he is one cute lithuanian! bobby t read at the franklin park reading series the other night and fucking rocked the house! electricliterature.com featured a bunch of writers from the series on their blog and bobby & i made the cut. hell ya. it was a super awesome night & i was soooo happy to have been able to make it and meet a bunch of cool peeps. yayayayay for summer time fun!  you can check out the video here and keep up to date with all of sir bobby's happenings here :)

in the beginning, we were to take the trolley...

hmmm, does the trolley pick us up here orrr here?

arrgh, my friggen head scarf wasn't in perfectly! gaaah, i'm so anal.

initially we were supposed to take the trolley...however we found that the trolley was rather unpredictable...so we walked from nob hill to the wharf! it was awesome. i had the flu but they fed me enough special cough syrup and sent me on my way hahaha. 

WORD-word!

This hat is where its at!! So warm, so cozy! I got it in Williamsburg at a store called Peach Frog.  They have all designer items for super cheap.  Kinda like if Overstock.com had a store. The skirt that I'm wearing is from The W Hotels The Store, my wool jacket which is beyond warm and in great condition is from the salvation army.  I made the white t out of another white t hahaha and of course my Zoe boots are in there. 

Thats Le Husbanditto!!

Ohhhh, everyone is listening intently! 

Oh hey you guys!!

My husbanditto le Robert Tumas; amazing fiction writer, book and theater critic extraordinaire had a reading for some of his fiction that was published in Stretch Magazine the other night at WORD Book Store in Greenpoint.....longest sentence ever? It was such great fun!! Wine, great readings, and course what would the evening be without a little Shakespeare performed by our friends James and Jeff...I'm not sure who the third guy is hehehehe...if anyone knows who the mystery man is lemme know.

A stroll through the woods...

My incredibly handsome love of my life husband writer Robert Tumas...I made him strip down on one of the coldest days so I could take pictures of his adorable outfit :)

Our Wedding!

Recently, I realized that I never posted pictures of our wedding!! Such an awful new bride hahaha. Here they are!! Our wedding was perfect, our friends were amazing and I am so thankful for everyone who traveled to Brooklyn to share our day with us.  We love you all and you guys rock!!  Our photographer Ivrie was amazing and I have never been so moved by a photograph before. If you are in the Ny/Nj area and need a photographer look no further than Ivrie!! Tell her Candice & Bob sent you :)

Tattoo for me & you...

As soon as I posted the picture of this quote I knew that I wanted it permanently placed on my body. I had no idea the origin of it (details never were for me, but its the title to a Smith's song which is pretty cool) Regardless of where it came from, it resonated with me because my name means light and as an artist (or rather a human being with feelings hahaha) I am frequently plagued by self doubt, a bit of depression and am constantly struggling with the idea of living in an aesthetically unattractive area forever to make relevant art....so it's a reminder to myself that I have a light inside of me and it's not going anywhere so I have to deal. A little self tough love I suppose...It was a wonderful adventure with my husband who got 3 stars for me and the boys and a night I'll remember forever, even if I did have 2 glasses of wine before we went.
