Good Housekeeping?

Frank asks, "Where can I find a good housekeeper?"

Well?

Fire at London Terrace Sunday

It looks like a wacky neighbor burned his apartment up on Sunday.

Here's the most interesting part to me:

...when Tyler checked the hallway doors, they were locked, presumably so that the people on the higher floors (where we heard later that the smoke was very thick) could get out unimpeded by panicky lower floor dwellers who didn't need to evacuate. Plus, Tyler said that fire goes up, and since we live below where the fire was, we stayed put.

Now, just imagine that for a second. You're in a building where, several flights up, it's on fire. And you're locked in. Logically, you understand why. But still, you're just kinda hanging out there in a burning building. That's gotta be a long 30 minutes.

Beyonce Spanks Dawn Mellor's Naked Ass

Dawn Mellor’s paintings, "We Hope You Choke," are at Team Gallery in Chelsea. Behold:

In perhaps the quintessential piece in the show, titled "Shitty Spanky Banner," a bevy of beauties stand or kneel in front of a huge American flag. A black-clad Madonna sucks off the dildo-wearing Christina Aguilera. Nearby, Wynona Ryder humps Jackie O. on a large pile of excrement, both women wearing prosthetic legs. Across from them, Beyonce spanks the naked behind of a woman wearing a white Klan hood, who turns out to be the artist (the clue: paintbrushes protruding from her ass).

'Scuse the Hole

Our website host had a hard drive go south and so a few days of BlogChelsea are lost forever. Sigh.

Rainbow Station Erecting Buddy Booths

An anonymous reader informs us our casual sexual encounters can now be more casual...

As I passed the sex shop Rainbow Station at 8th and 21st today, I noticed workmen going in with slabs of metal. Turns out the place is getting very ballsy, and it's erecting (ahem) buddy booths in the back of the store, at ground level, instead of keeping them tucked in the cellar as it had been. Looks like that stetch of 8th Avenue is getting more and more bold as the go-to block for casual sexual encounters. Those shops must have found a iron-lined loophole from the Giuliani rules, since there are schools everywhere in that area. (After all, the kids from the one on 21st Street buy their pizza each day at the pizzeria next door.)
