lionbrand revisited

the lionbrand staff raised robyn's knitted nyc display and rearranged the buildings. it's no longer a slice of manhattan looking west from the east river.

if you look closely, the empire state building is now north of the chrysler building and the lipstick building and the UN building . . . even if you did turn it around and imagined you were facing east you would have to wonder why the UN building was on the hudson . . (looking back at the old photo from march 4th i see that the UN was always south of the empire . . i guess there was trouble fitting everything properly from the start . . )
the powers at lionbrand also nixed pale male flying across the top of the display with a banner waving in the wind behind him. robyn was working on a biplane but it came out more like droopy dawg so she has happily ditched the project. i'm just too saddened that they said no to sono's pale male. i just think he is so beautiful and quintessentially new york:

thanks Dorina....I share some of your confusion about what exactly they were aiming at with the re-arranged buildings but it wasn't a battle worth fighting. And Pale Male....he is so beautiful!
