Carrying Condoms Is No Longer Considered Evidence Of A Crime In Brooklyn

Did you know that in many places, if you are stopped by the police on suspicion of prostitution, any condoms you are carrying in your purse can be seized and used as evidence against you? It’s true.

Here Are Some Styles I Encountered Over The Weekend

So it’s no secret around these parts that I attend a decent number of social and cultural gatherings, especially on the weekend.

Note: I apologize in advance for the quality of these photos…I’m going to obtain a real camera this week…but in the meantime, I hope you will consider their “lo-fi” quality a part of their gritty, Brooklyn charm. More »
