Looking for a girlfriend?

New York Magazine recently published the following piece:

Man Who Posted ‘Looking for a Girlfriend’ Flyers All Over NYC Says He’s Been Laid 118 Times By Jessica Roy

Dan Perino, the 51-year-old New Yorker who pasted flyers of his face saying he was "looking for a girlfriend" all over downtown last fall, claims his campaign has been wildly successful. In fact, he told news.com.au, he's gotten laid 118 times. That is ... a lot.

"It’s been going great," he said. "I’ve had ... hook-ups with 118 girls, but the dating is a lot more than that."

He's also parlayed the attention into an Indiegogo campaign so he can make a documentary about his search for a girlfriend, and is looking to become a spokesperson for a dating service. But in case you think Perino sounds like your type, be forewarned: He only dates models. 

"I've been seeing models," he told Vice. "I like models a whole lot better than a cute, short blonde. I dunno, maybe I should put on the flyer that I'm only dating models now."

At least he isn't letting this whole thing get to his head.

Looking for a model Dan? Here is a recent submission to the ishotkatemoss collage, an ode to you Mr. Perino ... 

As they say in the classics: "Looking for love in all the wrong places"

This particular ode takes its name from a one Mr. Young MC's Bust a Move sent out to all those searching the streets of NYC for that perfect model ...

And, while we are at it, here are some other SOHO inspired kate submissions:

Thin

During an interview with a fashion magazine in 2009 when answering the question: "Do you have any mottos?" kate answered “Nothing tastes as good skinny feels”. Her response - quite rightly - spawned a slew of complaints from body image campaigners, who claimed that such a statement encouraged eating disorders.

While walking through the streets of NY last night, observing just protestors, something out-of-place was observed in a trash can.

Walking towards the trash can ...

At first it was the red mask that caught our attention. Then something else ...

Upon closer inspection it appeared to be a student’s art project that had been abandoned. 

This is probably iskm’s most disheartening submission to the project. Not only have we always been offended by the idea of kate and her language promoting negative body image, but given that 5 years on her words still resonate is so problematic.

The fact that this student decided to give up on such an effort is disconcerting. iskm’s hope is that this artist not only has the opportunity to have a forum through this project to explore more deeply this topic but also that they have the strength of conviction to find their voice.

We are going to see if we can find the creator of this work given the trash can's proximity to a nearby college … in the meantime, all iskm can do is point you towards Thin, a powerful project by Lauren Greenfield.

Why we look

I am actually getting tired of being shocked seeing kate "walking down the street" towards me ... 

but yesterday, this gentleman's faded, holey and accessorized chest was just too good to pass.

Here was the complete package:

 

  And two additional close-ups, added to the www.ishotkatemoss.com collage, which - in iskm's esteemed opinion - are more relevant statements (as to fashion, art and beauty) than anything found in an overpriced glossy magazine:

où est l'kate?

A Parisian holiday from kate quickly turned into some long walks with her:

Observer. Ralentissez. Tirer. Envoyer.

A Sunday walking in New York, stalked by kate ... she will not leave me alone:

A lot observed on a slow day, a lot shot, and a lot submitted ... keep an eye on the site ...
