BoweryBoogie reported the other day that Barry McGee's wall of tags was tagged on Houston and the Bowery ... Meanwhile, the Graffiti Friend of EV Grieve (GFOEVG) noted that, during the long weekend, another small tag was added to the wall...
Maybe the tagger is gay and reappropriating the term? Not that "Bob Faggot" and a shitty pair of interlocking C's makes for some sort of profound cultural statement, but I am trying to look on the bright side here.
Saw this gem at Essex & Broome across from the Lower Manhattan Arts Academy. Anyone know what's up with this? The addition of 'Elephant' only makes it more confusing.

We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

Someone flings the term "faggot" and then carefully inscribes the Cartier logo underneath?!? Um...have we a case of the pot calling the kettle here?
Chanel logo, actually
