The Angel of Union Square

This morning I attended a 2 hour panel discussion at the Foundation Center, on how to successfully start up a nonprofit organization. Afterwards I went scouting up East 15th Street to look for vanity plates for my other blog, Vain Plates

Union Square was full of produce, cheese, meat, wine, and baked goods stands, for Monday's Greenmarket. I gave a glance but I always end up feeling that everything is just too overpriced. Standing in the midst of all this was a very tall woman dressed as an angel. I have no idea why she was there or what she was supposed to represent. At her feet was a cloth-covered container (for money?) and a large paper rose.

When I got into the subway station I spotted another unusual woman, wearing full makeup but with her head shaved. She wore a "Bald Headed Soprano" tee shirt so I assume she was advertising for a show. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of her. But that's one thing I enjoy about New York City. You never know what you might see.
