    So your gothic Martha Stewart's according the NY Times eh? Brilliant. When can we expect a line of Voltaire brand towels and table cloths haha.
    But I'm glad your getting seen by more main stream audiences. Maybe you might even get a Disney contract for a show.

    I'm from NYC & tbh am pretty much over it. It has changed a lot over the years & is INSANELY expensive. While my love affair w this place has just about ended, this video was very fun. However, please tell me you are going to cover the Village Halloween Parade. For anyone visiting NYC, dress up in your most creative costumes & walk in the parade. It is the best way to see it. It is still the one thing I love to do every year. The creativity is astounding! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃
