Like our new tour van? Yesterday was one of those incredible days of autumn in new york - warm, bright, and full of running around doing.. pretty much nothing, other than posing against various strange urban backdrops - empty baseball fields, pools with keith haring murals, haunted brownstones, and deserted diners by the hudson river -- for our friend legendary photographer Glen E Friedman, who definitely made us work it! we should have stretched before, done some mini pilates. i can't believe he's so good he even called me (lupe) on the 1 fake smile i did all day.  we were starving. my stomach in pain from all the laughter. he's a funny guy! Everyone's allowed one fake smile, no? all the squinting into the sun and holding supermodel poses was worth it: afterwards Glen took us to Mamoun's, delicious felafel for $2 'just to tie us over' he said.. walking through Washington Square tempting us with the dosa man,  til we got to the Atlas Cafe -- vegan crepe full of too many things and afterward, our favorite new dessert: strawberry shortcake! we owe you big Glen. we had to sleep like 12 hours to recover from this one. new pics soon..
