What do you get when you cross an artist and a recession? The answer could be $100 if you throw in this Artists and the Economic Recession Survey (username: ART922). The artist-support non-profit Fractured Atlas and the national artist-welfare initiative LINC are teaming up to find out how artists are dealing with the tough times (Are you using less water this year to wash your paintbrushes?). By filling out the “15-minute” survey, you’ll be entered into a drawing for one of four $100 prizes. And don’t pretend you’ve never tried the whole survey-for-cash thing.

One quiet night a couple of weeks ago, I was pumping away on my sewing machine in my apartment in Bed-Stuy when my neighbor, Stephanie, knocked on my door to ask if I could hem a skirt for her. She took out a bag from Cookie’s, the children’s department store on Fulton Street, and proceeded to lay out all the makings of a Catholic school girl’s uniform: knee socks, hair ribbons, a pleated skirt in a girl’s size large.
Her explanation? The guy she was planning on seeing Saturday night had requested this particular getup for their rendezvous. Read the rest of this entry »
Wow, Brokelyn is looking pretty girly right about now with all these posts on fashion and moms and whatnot. So here’s something for the guys. Reader Jared Morris is trying to get together a group for stay-at-home dads, whose ranks he says are increasing because of the great you-know-what. “From my anecdotal experience talking to dads, and from pushing the stroller around, it seems there are lots more baseball caps and camo diaper bags at the parks whether by choice (I resigned, e.g.) or by circumstances not of one’s choosing (hearing more of this).” So here’s the pitch, gentlemen:
Are you one of the many fellas in the Prospect Park area raising a child at home, full-time or part-time? If so, and you’d like to meet up with some other guys and their kids for a couple hours on a weekday, give us a shout at brooklyndads@gmail.com. At our mid-Sept. meeting at the park we’ll kick around ideas for some autumnal activities/play-dates. Meanwhile, we’ll trade paternal lore and give the sea of nannies something to wonder about.
And if you’re not a stay-at-home-dad but think the meetings sound kinda hot anyway… well shame on you!
