Got a little teary-eyed when I brought this home. One of the chairs from the Plaza Theater where AKA Blondie premiered. All the inspiration I will ever need.
The ATL Twins are Spring Breakers Forever (Photos by Dustin Chambers)
Any story about Sidney and Thurman Sewell starts with a party. People are always hanging around their Midtown loft, sipping vodka and soda and staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows 26 stories above Peachtree Street. Sometimes it’s a music video director and a girl they met in the strip club or a guy they used to skateboard with and a few girls they met while, well, they really can’t remember. Maybe Trinidad James is on the stereo. Maybe Gucci Mane. Some pictures that Terry Richardson took for a fashion magazine are framed on the wall. Sidney and Thurman hang out with reporters a lot. One January night, a photographer and I are the journalists at the party. The next weekend it will be a couple of guys with Vice. The month after that, a Page Six spy will report their activities at a club in New York.Read on at clatl.com. And don’t miss the Full Photo Gallery to get a taste of a day in the life of the ATL Twins.
ATL’s Street Characters (Photos by Meghan Davis, Dustin Chambers, and Thomas Wheatley)
Fellow Atlantans,
We here at CL propose the induction a new member into the ranks of our fair city’s wonderful street characters (e.g. Bicycle Shorts Man, Urban Cowboy, and of course Baton Bob).
The-Man-Who-Walks-Around-Midtown-and-Downtown-with-a-Suitcase-on-his-Head (name still in beta testing)’s photo has been snapped and shared, and we think it’s time he got some formal recognition. All in favor?
Get back to us on that.
Really, we’d love to hear from you. And while you’re at it, photo reply to this post with your favorite ATL Street Characters! If we get some good ones, we might just compile a photo gallery for your viewing pleasures.
Ah, the irony indeed…
Revised teaser for “Machine Gun Mary.”
