Wow, now Gothamist knows a little bit how Jonathan Van Gieson feels - we found this picture of us on Devo frontman/composer/artist Mark Mothersbaugh's site for his touring art show, Homefront Invasion. This was when Gothamist checked out Mark's art in May.
Jen is looking directly at the camera (and looking pretty stupid), Jake has his back to the camera. The guy to Jake's right is Jen's metrosexual date - with his shopping bag, natch. Perhaps that's why Jen is not dating him anymore. Jen doesn't blog explicitly about her dating life (after the fact is another story) but she does make prospectives go through a screening process. In fact, the process breaks down like this: 1) Interest Jen enough so that she accepts a date; 2) Get screened by Jake; 3) Wait for report; you will be contacted within 1-4 weeks. Poor prospective dates. Jen's not that picky, but Jake...forget about it.

I like the fact that God is watching over the the artsy Gothamists and metrosexuals in this picture.
Who IS that God-like figure?! It's/he's hilarious.
He reminds me more of a yogi/spiritual leader - like trying to bring some depth to our lives surreptitiously.
i know- i'm pretty sure i would have remembered if a 6'3 guy with a beard had been at the party. i think he was probably airbrushed in...
Does your date have shiny, reflecting tennis shoes (good warning sign there alone) or is that just glare from the floor somehow transposed?
Your date looks like what would happen if Seinfeld and Kramer had babies.
Mase, his sneakers are New Balance with the reflective, "N," I think - not out and out purposefully reflective. Reflective with a purpose, maybe?
Eli, HA!
Hmmm...not sure that a true metrosexual would be at an art gallery in sneakers, reflective or not.
In the metrosexual date's defense, I sorta dragged him to the gallery. I had already planned to hit the show before I made the date, so I thought "Why not have Jake check this guy out?"
in defense of the date dude, heck, compared to the attire of the rest of the people in the gallery, this guy looks like he's straight outta GQ. what kind of gallery patrons are those? the Clampetts?
(mean, yes, I am... native nu yawker represent!)
I realize you keep talking about what a Jew you are, Jen, but -- geez, that looks an awful lot like a tallis you're wearing in the photo. Makes me wonder if a rear-view shot would show a yamulke on your head . . .
Speaking of which -- what's up with Moses in the back corner of the room?
You might joke about your date being a metrosexual, but i think that most ny women secretly want to date a metrosexual (masculine ones of course), and or wish their man were alittle more metrosexualish.
j., I know, it's like I'm trying to cop all the Jew styles. No yarmulke, though.
Audrey, I agree in principle that dating a guy who takes an interest in his appearance is a nice thing. But when it starts to take on a life of its own, that's when it's a little out of control. I also make fun of a female friend who preps and primps so much, it's like she's Miss America getting ready to go out for an appearance. Plus, I think at this point, my joking about the metrosexual date is probably in direct proportion to however he's making fun of me right now. "That weird blogger girl..." We're all bizarre.
