Check out our new blog site

I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately as we've been working on a new look for this site. I'm so excited that it is finally up and running! I had the pleasure of working with Brian at Skooks Designs. Still making a few changes here and there but update your RSS feed and bookmark the new and improved blog site. I think that once I get the hang of the new interface that I'm going to be posting a lot more. Goodbye Blah Blog-Hello http://www.cynthiabrownweddings.com/blog.html! See you on the other side.

Nor'easter doesn't stop the 'Naked Cowboy'


His real name is Robert Burck, but to anyone who has passes him by in Times Square, he is simply recognized best as the 'Naked Cowboy'. I found this Associated Press shot on the web today and had to laugh. I believe it was just this past Fall when I was in the city with my son one day when we found ourselves in Times Square on our way to Toys r Us. I was surprised that the 'Naked Cowboy' wasn't preforming and was told by a street cop that he was probably in court that day. It seems that the makers of M&Ms, (Mars Inc.) has made an advertisement using the likeness of Robert, briefs and all. The cop went on to tell me that the 'Naked Cowboy' makes a really decent living preforming in Times square. Frankly, I'm not surprised since I've seen him there for many years. If he wins his lawsuit against Mars Inc. he'll definitely be able to afford some new duds.
