[whatafirefeelslike]

my race is in 6 days and i’m in a weird limbo state of having accepted that i will probably not reach my goal vs. having some hope that i will reach my goal. my hamstring is feeling better since i’m resting it today—i know i shouldn’t push it but i’m so tempted to run a little tomorrow. i was supposed to run 2.5ish miles a day leading up to the race but now i can’t really do that. and we’ll see if i do the shakeout run i was planning on friday. this sucks so much literally the rest of my body feels so good and ready

#alison rambles #at this rate i want to be sure i’ll be okay for the brooklyn half in april. i’m very excited for that race #the race on saturday is just 4 laps around a park but the bk half goes through the borough very scenic #really need that gym to open after this race i need to do treadmill speed work and lift weights #sorry for all the running posts this is consuming me lol

Can you see the Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge?

The Brooklyn Bridge, an iconic symbol of New York City, is a marvel of engineering and a popular destination for both locals and tourists. With its breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and the East River, many visitors wonder if it offers a glimpse of another symbol of freedom – the Statue of Liberty. In this article, we will explore the truth behind the question: Can you see the Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge?

The Geography of the Harbor:

Before diving into the specifics, it's crucial to understand the geography of New York Harbor. The Statue of Liberty stands proudly on Liberty Island in the Upper New York Bay, while the Brooklyn Bridge spans the East River, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The distance between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty is approximately two miles, creating a natural challenge for direct visibility.

Visibility Factors:

Several factors come into play when determining whether you can see the Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the primary factors is the line of sight. Tall buildings, structures, and the curvature of the Earth can obstruct the view, making it challenging to spot the statue from certain vantage points.

Additionally, weather conditions play a crucial role. On clear, sunny days with minimal atmospheric interference, the chances of spotting the Statue of Liberty are higher. However, fog, rain, or smog can significantly reduce visibility, making it difficult to catch a glimpse of Lady Liberty.

Best Vantage Points:

While it might be challenging to see the Statue of Liberty directly from the Brooklyn Bridge, there are other strategic locations that provide an unobstructed view of the iconic statue. Brooklyn Bridge Park, located on the Brooklyn side of the East River, is one such spot. The park offers stunning panoramic views of the harbor, allowing visitors to enjoy the Statue of Liberty along with the Manhattan skyline.

Another popular location is the promenade in Brooklyn Heights, where visitors can witness the Statue of Liberty against the backdrop of the cityscape. These vantage points not only offer a clearer view but also provide an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the harbor from different angles.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, while it might be challenging to see the Statue of Liberty directly from the Brooklyn Bridge itself, there are nearby vantage points that offer stunning views of this iconic symbol of freedom. Understanding the geographical and visibility factors, along with exploring alternative locations, allows visitors to appreciate the beauty of both the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty during their time in the vibrant city of New York.

Iris Apfel was finally recognised as a great, original fashion stylist in her 80s, when the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum in New York had a sudden gap in its 2005 exhibition schedule. Many curators knew Apfel, who has died aged 102, as a collector stashing away clothes, especially costume jewellery, both couture-high and street-market-low, so the institute asked to borrow some of her thousands of pieces.

When Apfel wore them herself, dozens at a time in ensembles collaged fresh daily, they had zingy pzazz, so she was invited to set up the displays. There was no publicity budget, and her name was modestly known only in the interior decor trade, yet the show, Rara Avis: Selections from the Iris Apfel Collection, became a huge success after visitors promoted it online. It toured other American museums, changing exhibits en route because Apfel wanted her stuff back so she could wear it.

Apfel’s grandfather had been a master tailor in Russia; her father, Samuel Barrel, supplied mirrors to smart decorators; her chic mother, Sadye (nee Asofsky), had a fashion shop. They lived out in rural Astoria, in the Queens borough of New York, where Iris was born.

As a child, her treat was a weekly subway trip to Manhattan to explore its shops, her favourites the junk emporia of Greenwich Village. She was short, plain and, until her teen years, plump, but she had style; and the owner of a Brooklyn department store picked her out of a crowd to tell her so. During the Depression all her family could sew, drape, glue, paint and otherwise create the look of a room, or a person, on a budget of cents – the best of educations.

She studied art history at New York University, then qualified to teach and did so briefly in Wisconsin before fleeing back to New York to work on Women’s Wear Daily. Furniture and fabrics were in short supply during and after the second world war, and Iris began to earn by sourcing antiques and textiles; if she could not find it, she could make or fake it cheaply.

In 1948 she married Carl Apfel, and they became a decorating team: he had the head for business and she the eye. Unable to find cloth appropriate to a period decor, Iris adapted a design from an old piece and had it woven in a friend’s family mill; she and Carl then set up Old World Weavers in 1952, commissioning traditional makers around the globe.

Photographs and home-movie footage from the next four decades showed Apfel, adorned with elan, haggling for one-off items in souks, flea markets and bric-a-brac shops. She is the most decorative sight in each shot, her ensembles put together with complex cadenzas atop an underlying, tailored, structure– they are like jazz – not a statement, but a conversation.

Apfel was the last of those 20th-century fashion exotics who presented themselves as installations. Although she wore a priest’s warm tunic to the White House (President Richard Nixon underheated the place), plus armfuls of cheap African bracelets and thigh-high boots, she was not an exhibitionist like the Marchesa Casati, and, with her vaudevillian comic timing, was far funnier than the imperious Vogue editor Diana Vreeland.

Also, she never ever bought full-price: her many rails and under-the-bed suitcases of couture were sale-price samples, chosen for their cut, fabric, skilled craftwork and colour dazzle (“Colour can raise the dead”). She might wear them over thrift shop pyjamas, or under a Peking Opera costume, with hawsers of necklaces atop. Money could not buy personal style, she said, prettiness withered, beauty could corrode the soul. All that really mattered was “attitude, attitude, attitude”.

Old World Weavers discreetly refurbished the White House under nine presidents, as well as grand hotels and private houses, before the Apfels sold the company in 1992. They retired to a quiet life in their apartment on Park Avenue, New York, its decor an extension of Apfel’s outfits (bad garment choices were cut up for cushions), and in a Palm Beach holiday home where the Christmas decoration collection stayed up all year round, along with cuddly toys and museum-class folk art. Clothes shopping, and the improvisation of an outfit, became Apfel’s daily ritual, as cooking might be to a gourmet.

But after the Met show, and a book, Rare Bird of Fashion (2007), Apfel was back in as much full-time employment as she could manage in her 80s and 90s (she had a hip replacement because she fell after stepping on an Oscar de la Renta gown). She was cover girl of Dazed and Confused, among many other publications, window display artist at Bergdorf Goodman, designer and design consultant – superb on eye-glasses; she wore large, owl-like, frames to stylise her aged face into a witty, unchanging, cartoon.

She took seriously her responsibilities to fashion students on her course at the University of Texas, teaching them about imagination, craft and tangible pleasures in a world of images.

Her career lasted – nothing was ever too late: in 2018, Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon, a book of memoir and sound style advice; in 2019, a contract with the model agency IMG; and last year, a beauty campaign for makeup with Ciaté London. The documentarian Albert Maysles trailed her for Iris (2014), filming this “geriatric starlet” – her term – as she dealt drolly with new high-fashion friends, or laughed at an “Iris” Halloween costume (glasses, a ton of bangles).

She watched as a storage loft of her antique treasures was listed in lots for sale, and as white-gloved assistants from museums that had begged a bequest boxed up her garments; she still had, and wore, the shoes from her wedding. All things, she said, were only on loan in this world, even to collectors. The point was to enjoy them to the full before bidding them good-bye.

Carl died in 2015.

The Albatross HOTEL & TTPD

Ok so we examined the albatross as a bird and a poem, but now we find The Albatross a hotel that went up in flames in Coney Island.

Tonight (feb 23 2024) Taylor sang White Horse x Coney Island AFTER announcing The Albatross. ( I think Taylor must have been writing, like she said 2 years in the making, near when she was making evermore because CONEY island seems to directly link to The Albatross Hotel) * NOTE SHE SANG YOU'RE LOSING ME AFTER ANNOUNCING THE BOLTER which would tie in that someone is leaving, eg. you're losing me. SOO I think Taylor is going to sing a song that she's already written that somewhat directly links it to the TTPD album variants before she announces the next one.

Ok So back to The Albatross

On November 1, 1903, just a couple of months after nearby Luna Park had wrapped up its inaugural season, one of the worst fires in Coney Island's history consumed over 260 buildings. It began in the Albatross Hotel, at the west end of the Bowery,

Lots of stuff here, Coney Island had one of the worst fires in THE ALBATROSS hotel - I think this is a direct link to her lover house burning and BOWERY is YB's pseudonym

The fire is said to have been set by a former employee of the Albatross Hotel because of unrequited love for a female employee who preferred the attentions of the hotel's owner.

If we are going off of the Lover house being burned to the ground then, The former employee here would probably be referred to as Taylor who burned The Albatross down because she loved YB and he preferred that of someone else.

The reform element at Coney Island, which still hated the Bowery because of its less-than-Puritan venues, was predictably not overly disappointed to see the whole area burn down.

Coney Island ( TAYLOR) HATED the Bowery (YB) because of the less the Puritan venues (or values in this case) Puritan a person who adheres to strict moral or religious principles, YB wasn't faithful.....---And Coney Island (TAYLOR) was not that disappointed to see the whole area (HER RELATIONSHIP) burn down because I think there had been signs (eg her song Exile so many signs)

So what if'a thousand women and children [were] rendered homeless, and many could be seen wandering around the streets of Coney Island. [having] lost their all, not saving anything in the way of clothing except what they wore'? Only Satan's emissaries would inhabit a place like the Bowery in any case.

After the fire of it all Taylor was left wandering Coney Island having lost everything. But she would rather be left wandering alone that go back to a place like the Bowery (YB) ** I'm on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go? The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go Sorry for not making you my centerfold Over and over**

As Brooklyn Borough's President Swanstrom commented, 'The fire at Coney Island, while a great hardship to the unfortunate people who lost their property, will be a blessing in the long run... [flire is one of the best purifiers'.

'The fire at Coney Island, while a great hardship to the unfortunate people who lost their property, will be a blessing in the long run... [flire is one of the best purifiers'. - THISSS - Although what Taylor went through, her relationship essentially going up in flames and she lost everything, it is a BLESSING in the long run. As FIRE IS ONE OF THE BEST PURIFIERS! Which is why she burned the LOVER HOSUE!

Both city officials and business owners agreed that the Bowery street itself had to be widened by sixty feet. This would hamper the ability of a fire to spread from one side to the other as easily, but also made the area much more inviting and increased visitor capacity.

The Bowery street had to widened - THE DISTANCE BETWEEN HER AND YB - And stop the fire spreading - She wants to stop the hate, and just move on. The Albatross is gone ( The Lover house is gone) making her life freeing than before.

This is my analysis of The Albatross Hotel from the connection to Taylors variant of TTPD : The Albatross and Taylor and YB's relationship. I am no way saying this is at all true, and i do not personally know about their relationship. i do not mean to put anyone down. its just a theory based on rumours
