I Want All These BackPacks! Especially the 1st Doggie one!
Someone - any friend - anyone - okay fine a stranger - please buy one of these backpacks for me! I can't justify spending $50 on this - but they are so freaking cute! I think I want this more than my pee and poo toys from Sweden (http://www.flickr.com/photos/triciawang/64132469/)
Okay good friends who actually read my blog - if you all just put in $5 then with 9 others than I can have this bag! Wait - I only have 2 friends who read this blog so I guess that won't happen. pee and poo?
Are these sooo FREAKING CUTE!

Running into Friends at Festival: Lorie and George
35th Annual African Arts Festival - Brooklyn
As big as this festival is, I still manage to run into folks. Lorie works as a psychologist in one of Brooklyn's Prisons .
George is our blocks main man - he's been in Bed-stuy since the 1930's and his family bought the house in the 1920's.
He grabbed my arm and I screamed so loudly cuz I thought it was a crazy guy trying to grab me - but it's just George.

Torres was born in the Playita sector of Ponce, the same area that Sor Isolina Ferré would later call home. He joined the U.S. Army when he was 18 years old, where he learned to box. As Puerto Ricans have been United States citizens since 1917, he represented the country while serving in the U.S Army at the 1956 Olympic Games. As an Olympian, he won a silver medal as a junior middleweight.
