The Law of Attraction: “British Tourist Goes to Cairo” Jacket Goes to New Hampshire
As I write this, the Autumnal Equinox has just happened at 4:02 p.m., and it seems fitting to recognize the Law of Attraction.
Last year, during one of our visits to the DeKalb L Train Vintage, Bubi and I found a color block jacket embroidered with palm trees and tropical scenes. We laughed upon seeing it, and Bubi commented it was like a jacket a British tourist might wear on a trip to Egypt.
The evocative power of this image made me think of where to photograph this jacket. Initially I thought of photographing it with the backdrop of building clusters at the top of Grand Street, because they’ve reminded me of Cairo ever since I moved to the Lower East Side in 1987.
During a recent and most delightful trip to visit Van’s sister Candy in Exeter, New Hampshire, I brought the jacket with me. The cool 60-degree temps made it the perfect piece to wear.
I was having a reverie about tropical travel because to complement the jacket I had brought with me a vintage early 70s airline bag from Caribair, the now-extant airline that provided commuter service between Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Virgin Islands. I had gotten this bag in 2006 from Michelle Galiñanes’ legendary store salon Puerto Rico Collectibles in Miramar.
Van had taken a picture of me on Adirondack chairs on the Phillips-Exeter quad, near the 19th-century professorial home of his niece Maggie and her husband Todd—poets and scholars—and their transformative kids Kempie and Lionel, who called me uncle from the onset. The bright green turf and Louis Kahn designed library were in the background. I was wearing a favorite pink Brooks Brothers Oxford shirt I had bought for a performance I did in the late 90s inspired by Will Smith’s character in Six Degrees of Separation. I combined it with super soft Liberty for Target boxer shorts, Stacy Adams socks, and Ferragamo boat shoes.
Candy took us to Petey’s, a delicious clambake joint where amazing buoys in bright colors graced the banisters.The jacket fight right in with the color scheme.
Before, at Shoals Point in Rye, we stopped to see an obelisk erected in honor of John Smith. There were people dressed in white by picnic tables in the distance. Van took my picture by the obelisk.
When I saw the photos later and showed them to Bubi, it was clear the Egyptian theme had been realized by pure attraction of ethereal forms…

Marrow at St. Ann's Prep
Marrow wasn't the type to go to private school especially those in the rural south but when their parents got an invite from a prestigious prep school they had to consider it. Most thought they were a bit of a weirdo, Marrow initially refused but a few edgy drawings later they were arriving at St. Ann's Hollow, Colorado. The school was very... posh and muted in color shades of brown and grey, beige uniforms and the teachers were weird. They all had names that sounded like articles of clothing Thong, Tailcoat, Kneesocks, Scanty.
