[Updated] At the Direct Action Fashion Show
Last night, The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) on Avenue C presented a Direct Action Fashion Show. Per the organizers: "Celebrate how activists use costumes, puppets, and props to draw awareness to various environmental, social, and political issues and create positive, sustainable change."
By all accounts, it was a festive (and colorful!) evening. See for yourself in these photos by Brian Caron ... (Find more of his work here.)
Find more photos on the MoRUS Facebook page.
And here's a video by Paul DeRienzo showing the grand finale with all the models on the runway...
Here are the grass suits in action...
And an overview of the whole evening...

Tompkins Square Park Ice Rink is now open
A walk through parts of Tompkins Square Park this morning can prove to be a treacherous journey... parts of the Park haven't been shoveled/plowed, etc. ... and no sign of any rock salt just yet...
Also slippery... the plywood walkway outside the incoming 7-Eleven on Avenue A and East 11th Street...

Reminder: MoRUS hosting 'Direct Action Fashion Show' tonight
Just a reminder...
The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) presents: DIRECT ACTION FASHION SHOW
Celebrate how activists use costumes, puppets, and props to draw awareness to various environmental, social, and political issues and create positive, sustainable change.
At the same time that parts of our city will be taken over by Fashion Week’s bold images intended to grease the wheels of extreme consumption, we plan to explore the ways in which spectacle can be used for the greater good, rather than corporate gain.
Prior to the event, the Rude Mechanical Orchestra will lead a march to pay tribute to the community gardens, as a reminder that this vital community resource still needs our support. Earth Celebrations, Time's Up!, People's Puppets of OWS, The MoS Collective and other organizations will be in attendance, and Arrow Chrome will DJ. Special appearance by Gene Pool, the "Can Man." Expect food, drinks and sparkles galore.
Details:
MoRUS (Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space) History Museum
155 Avenue C, between 9th and 10th Streets, Manhattan
7 pm; $5-10 sugg., no one turned away
And here's a quick video of preparations the other night...

[Updated] There is an M14 stuck on Avenue A at this moment
At this point, we're not sure exactly what happened here on Avenue A near East 11th Street. Other than that the bus is stuck, and the MTA is on the scene to help make it unstuck. No word on injuries.

And now, photos of snow for people who like photos of snow
If you tuned into The Weather Channel (or any media outlet) the last 72 hours, then you probably knew that we were going to buried alive by the worst blizzard ever, oh save us Jim Cantore! some snow was expected in the area.
It did snow. Maybe what, 6 or 8 inches? Here are some random photos of that from this morning.
