Happy Birthday, Eduardo!


A big birthday salute to my friend Eduardo from São Paulo, who I met over 12 years ago in Paris when I was chosen as semi-finalist representing New York in a French Film trivia/essay contest. Eduardo was São Paulo's candidate... It's a small, small world, as years later I became friends with a paulistano named Emerson, who I met through Thomas, and learned that his then-boyfriend Milton is Eduardo's best friend. Here's Eduardo last November at Milton's apartment - Milton, who's an awesome chef, threw a dinner party/floor picnic to welcome me there. Unlike yours truly, Eduardo really is a film-maker.... He makes serious films of course, but his campy comedy clips are wicked fun...

This short film by Eduardo's is all about visuals and therefore translates very well. This campy, gay-friendly romp is called 'The Chick On The Bus' - 'A Mona da Lotação'... Eduardo's actors are mostly friends and amateurs - if you look closely you'll even see Milton here...


Here's another, even juicier Eduardo short - 'The Chick In The Bathroom' or 'A Mona do Banheirão...'


Finally, a comedic look behind closed doors in rural Brazil, in Eduardo's 'Francisco's Other Daughter' - A Outra Filha do Francisco'



All the news that fits, we print....The new New York Times building, up close, taken as I entered the Port Authority on route to Saturday's Giant Stairs hike (see yesterday's post)...
