New York City has housed me three times in the past few months and I ain’t got no shame! Why would I when I’m visiting (in my humble opinion)
THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD! After all, it is the city that birthed me!
Several things have brought me back to the Big Apple recently…work, meetings, shows, promo events, and (of course) my friends and family! It’s such an amazing city full of timeless awe and I discover something new every time.

Tamara, myself, and my best friends! |
Upon my first arrival I met up with my friend Tamara Levinson, one of the stars of Fuerza Bruta and my choreographer for the Britney Spears project in which I moved my body like a snake! She helped develop the crazy imaginative show with an Argentinian flare and every moment keeps you fully engaged. It entertains completely and magnificently and its grand finale is like the party you’ve always wanted to go to!

The most fun I've ever had watching someone else swim overhead |

Even the pups have style |
My second time around out I caught the tail end of Fashion Week. Every individual has such an eclectic artistry and how it manifests itself is equally unique. Just walking down the street in Manhattan is like watching a runway show (please refer to one of my favorite documentaries this year,
Bill Cunningham New York)!

Sporting my 'hipster/photographer' look |
Three’s a charm and no doubt I experienced the charms of New York City to the fullest! I checked out the architectural marvel of Highline Park, passing by some wickedly dressed cosplayers from the New York Comic Con! Insane amounts of creativity! Cheers to the Comic world…love you guys and dolls!
It was a gorgeous day so I after the Highline I hiked uptown to Central Park where I took a nice stroll (aka got completely lost).
Lastly I hopped on the A-C-E to the World Trade Center Site. The lines for the Memorial were really long, but a visit to the Tribute WTC Visitors Center co-founded by Lee Ielpi was totally worth the trip. I heard his story on NPR one Sunday morning and was so moved by his strength that I had to see it. If you get a chance, definitely check it out. There’s truly great power and honor in the humble memorial.

"Love conquers all." |
A city fueled by passion, inspiration, and love.
Very simply, I love New York.
