Beautiful shoes can certainly be considered works of art, and in the case of these Hot Pink beauties created from ordinary push pins, that is exactly the case.

Statue of Liberty Mural By Sego, East Harlem
Photos By Gail
I was walking west from the 6 train at 103rd Street on the way to the Museum of the City of New York when I spotted this very cool mural, which looked to me at first like a Native American interpretation of the Statue of Liberty. It turns out that the artist is Mexican muralist Sego, and this striking piece is done in his signature organic style. Entitled Freedom and Emancipation of The Natural World, the mural was painted for the Monument Art Festival, which took place in October of 2015.
You can see the Mural for Yourself at the Corner of Madison Avenue and 104th Street.
Pink Thing of The Day: Pink Elephant Statue on Flatbed Truck
Photo By Gail
While I’m not crazy about the fact that this post is basically an advertisement for whatever store is now located at the above Madison Avenue address, I could not resist snapping a photo of this awesome Pink Elephant Statue as I passed the shops along Antique Row on South Broadway late one Saturday evening. If you look closely, you’ll also see what looks like a stone or cement Alligator sculpture, which would be fun to own. It just goes to show you that you should always have your camera at the ready when you go out for a stroll in NYC.
Update: I saw this same statue — or one identical to it —Â on September 11th, 2016 in front of this antiques store on Bowery just above Houston.
Mave Hotel NYC, Lobby Display

On the way from one event to another this past week, we passed by the Mave Hotel, located on Madison Avenue at the corner of 27th Street, and were instantly attracted to this display of inflated red and white balloons they have strewn across the floor in an inaccessible part of the hotel lobby, just off the main entrance from the street. Charming!
Pink Thing of The Day: Pink Crates

Geoffrey and I walked past these stacks of assorted Pink Crates, which were sitting on the sidewalk outside a restaurant, somewhere on Madison Avenue, while we were walking on our way from the Whitney Museum to The Met. I had to stop and photograph them for a Pink Thing of The Day post, because they are so beautiful.
