NYU’s newspaper, the Washington Square News, had this to say about AuH2O’s looks:

Kate Goldwater, an alumna already making waves in the world of eco-fashion, also debuted clothing from her eco-friendly East Village boutique, AuH2O (the chemical symbols for “gold” and “water”). Goldwater’s quirky skirts and sweater-like tops and dresses came down the runway in funky, floral prints and rich earth tones that were reminiscent of nature.

CBS makes me want to boycott the Superbowl

February 1, 2010 | Filed Under Feminism, Politics

CBS is full of shit! CBS is airing an anti-choice ad from Focus on the Family during the Superbowl, even though in the past, CBS has rejected ads from MoveOn.org, PETA, and the United Church of Christ because they were too “controversial” and they have a “no advocacy” policy. But this year, CBS is airing an ad produced by the ultra-conservative, anti-gay, anti-choice, and anti-birth control group Focus on the Family. The ad FEATURES TIM TEBOW (football fans love him and his little religious sayings under his eyes!) and his mother because she didn’t have an abortion when she was very ill and advised by doctors to do so. So, apparently they changed their “no advocacy” policy.

Oh wait, they didn’t. Guess what still is too controversial, or too much advocating? A gay dating site ad from Mancrunch.com. Here’s the ad from Mancrunch that they won’t air:

So showing two guys kissing isn’t okay. But telling women that they shouldn’t have the right to choose even if their life is in danger because ONE WOMAN chose to have her baby who turned out to be a Heisman trophy winner is just fine. F THAT S!

Stand up for a woman’s right to decide what she does with her own body. Tell CBS to axe the Superbowl ad from Focus on the Family. SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THIS AD PULLED! SIGN HERE!

And maybe also boycott the Superbowl. I may do that.

Intern for my award-winning writer friend!

January 20, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized

Friends of AuH2O! Since I’ve had such great interns in the past, I told my friend I’d help him find one for this coming semester. Internships are great real-life experience, and my friend is very established (and an all around cool person), so check out this post and pass on to anyone you think may be interested!

Internship with award-winning writer

Award-winning writer of fiction, nonfiction, and humor (published by McSweeney’s, The New York Times, New York magazine, Wine Spectator, Men’s Health, Agni, ARTnews, The Threepenny Review, and many others) seeking an intern.  The work will include some combination of:
-background research for a novel, a nonfiction book, and/or a screenplay;
-article pitches to magazines
-keeping a finger on the pulse of which publications are new and hot
-help with applications for fellowships/residencies at artists’ colonies

I want you to enjoy the work you’re doing and feel comfortable being creative in how you approach it.  A couple of other things to keep in mind: my office is in the Village; this is an unpaid position, but I cook good lunches.
Please send me a resume, and tell me briefly 1.) why you think you would be good in this position and 2.) why you think you would have fun doing it.  Also, let me know if you have a blog, website, or social-networking page that would give me a greater sense of your personality.

Shop-NYC Tours Video on AuH2O

January 3, 2010 | Filed Under Press, Recession, Shopping

A friend of mine, Natasha Malinsky, owns a shopping tours business, Shop-NYC, where she takes customers on tours of the best shopping in the city. Of course, AuH2O is one of her stops!  She hosts a web series so people can watch videos of all the different stores and decide where they want to go most. Here’s the video on AuH2O:

Recognize Natasha from somewhere? That’s because she was recently on VH1’s “Tough Love,” so she’s a reality TV survivor, and that’s fun and cool.

You can watch all of her web videos on other great stores in Manhattan on her Youtube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/nlm5844. Check her website for more info on tours- an especially good thing to do when friends come to town and they want to shop and you have to work: Shop-NYCtours.com. She takes you to the best stores in the city where you get exclusive discounts from all the boutiques. There’s even a special “recessionista” tour for the tough times.

Watch, and shop!

Absolute Beginners Event + gift ideas!

December 9, 2009 | Filed Under DIY, Eco-Fashion

Another Holiday shopping event since Hanukkah’s coming up in just a few days!

A new store recently opened by students of Parsons, Absolute Beginners, is having an event on Friday called the 50 Dollar Bill Event. Everything in the store will be exactly $50- and featuring work by several designers, including AuH2O. See flier and info below:

?ui=2&view=att&th=1251c8d27169318c&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_1251c8d27169318c&zw

Absolute Beginners 50 Dollar Bill Event:

When: This Friday, 7 to 11pm
Where: 616 E 9th St (between Avenue B and C)

What:  Absolute Beginners invited their favorite designers and friends to make a line of $50 products.  It’ll be an excellent opportunity to discover unique, local designers in a fun and accessible environment - plus get some Christmas shopping done! EVERYTHING in the store will be on sale for $50.

And since I have several friends who are a part of Absolute Beginners, I want to plug one more of their events. Next Monday AB is hosting Memento Amouri, a show featuring my favorite intern Alexa Stark:

?ui=2&view=att&th=1256ad7601a385b1&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_1256ad7601a385b1&zw

Also, I’ve started to add items to my online shop, including these Yankees earrings that are selling like crazy. Something about a World Series win. Check out my online store here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/auh2odesigns

Yankees earrings

And two more gift recommendations!

Check out my very good friends’ documentary: Klein Pictures “What Are We Doing Here?”

Four years ago, the four of us (Brandon, Nicholas, Daniel and Tim Klein) set out to cross the continent of Africa hoping to make a film that would challenge, entertain and inspire. After six months of filming, a year and half of editing, and two years of film festivals, TV appearances and University screenings, we are happy to finally announce the DVD release of “What are we doing here?” This controversial documentary investigates why after 50 years of Western involvement, billions of dollars in foreign assistance and countless promises, Africa is still so poor.

Buy the film & help spread the message for $25 HERE: http://store.whatarewedoinghere.net

And finally, check out the WAM! (Women, Action, and Media) bidding for good auction. WAM! is an  organization dedicated to building a robust, effective, inclusive movement for gender justice in media that is transforming into an independent, national non-profit. Click here for more info, and HERE to bid on the goods, like getting Margaret Cho to take photos for you, or a guitar signed by Ani DiFranco.

More info on WAM!, why I love it, and why it needs to be a national non-profit:

Every day, WAM!mers help each other place op-eds and articles, get powerful media jobs, leverage new technology, hold the media accountable, produce and promote books, films, and other projects, get stories told about our lives and work, and change the very structure of the media itself.

In the next two years, we can launch thriving local WAM! chapters in major cities across the country, which will foster on the grassroots level the kind of cutting-edge thought and action WAM! already inspires nationally. We can build an engaged online WAM! community through monthly webinars on timely topics, a brand-new WAM! website designed to foster action, and of course, our ever-flourishing listserv. And we can ensure that the next WAM! conference is the largest and most influential yet, creating an unstoppable force for gender justice that will change the media landscape for good.

So go bid for WAM!

And hope to see you Friday at the Absolute Beginners $50 Event!

Open Portfolio Show at AuH2O Saturday! (and Halloween costume photos)

December 3, 2009 | Filed Under Eco-Fashion, Vanity

Hi all!

It’s time for Holiday shopping, and photography is always a great gift, so this Saturday AuH2O is hosting an “open portfolio” showing of Ann Sanfedele’s photography. There will be black and white proof prints made during the 70’s and 80’s, early Cibachrome prints, and a selection of recent digital work. 8 x 10 prints will be available for $10 to $25, and 5 x 7 prints- pay what you wish. See the flier below for a taste, or Ann’s photo-sharing site http://annsan.smugmug.com. In addition to the photos, AuH2O will have a special section of $10 necklaces, including cameos, anchors, feathers, leaves, elephants, horses, etc, all the little treasures people love for only $10. And of course, next door TEICH is also holding a Holiday shopping event, featuring Elizabethan Jewelry.

Cameo Necklace $10 Anchor Necklace $10

Hope to see you this Saturday! Come find photos and $10 necklaces, they make great, easy gifts!

Also, here are a few photos of Halloween costumes that I helped make for friends and customers:

This is me as Jean Grey (as a Phoenix) from X-Men, and my good friend Tracy as Penny from Inspector Gadget. We’re holding up a patchwork quilt I made for her out of her old String Cheese and Phish shirts from her old hippie days. I mean, she’s still a hippie. This is basically Tracy in a blanket.

Here’s Keelan as Danger Mouse. I made his DM pin and his belt. Who even knows who Danger Mouse is?

Disha Patel as a Peacock: I helped sew on her beautiful feathers.

Eric Kohn went as the Public Option for Halloween. How creative and relevant, right? I stenciled “Public Option” on the front and back of scrubs for him.

Health Care Reform Video and Photos!

September 28, 2009 | Filed Under Barack Obama, Eco-Fashion, Fashion Show, Pet fashion, Politics, broken collarbone, health care reform

Here’s the video from the Health Care Reform Fashion Show from Sunday, September 13. We’re sending it to the Obama Administration so they can see our support!

And here are photos of the successful show. We handed out 50 free Health Care Reform buttons and 25 pairs of Obama earrings, collected over 100 signatures on our letter of support, sold a bunch of Health Care Reform designs, and overall had a great time. For more photos, see my flickr album or facebook album.

Thanks everyone for participating or coming out to support Health Care Reform! How’s that debate on the Public Option going, Congress? Not so great?

Rockefeller, Schumer and likeminded liberal senators begrudgingly acknowledge the votes are not there in the committee for the public option.

But they intend to force their colleagues to take a stand on the issue and possibly face the wrath of powerful interests such as labor unions and grassroots liberal activists.

The vehemence of support for the public option among liberals can hardly be overstated. Rockefeller summed up that view on Thursday when he said, “A healthcare plan without a public option is not much of a healthcare plan.”

Schumer declared that he and likeminded liberals would triumph in the end. “The healthcare bill that is signed into law by the president will have a good, strong, robust public option,” he said.

More votes on the public option are promised once the bill hits the Senate floor.

The issue will then become a headache for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) instead of Baucus.

Before a healthcare bill even reaches the Senate floor, Reid will have to decide whether to abide by the Finance Committee position (no public option) or the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee position (strong public option).

Reid sent a clear signal that he is prepared to compromise on Thursday.

Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe’s (Maine), a crucial swing vote, has proposed establishing a “trigger” for the public option that would be pulled in markets with insufficient private competition. During a conference call with Nevada reporters, Reid described the trigger as a “pretty doggone good idea,” according to the Las Vegas Sun.

“My first choice is a public option, because I think it will create competition and make the insurance companies more honest,” Reid said. “My No. 2 choice is the trigger that Snowe talked about.” A trigger would be preferable to co-ops, Reid indicated.

I’m awfully skeptical of this trigger business. Especially because Nancy Pelosi says it’s “an excuse for not doing anything.” Why can’t these Republicans and the Blue Dogs just get on board? Even Bill O’Reilly supports a Public Option

Call your senators! Tell them to vote FOR the Public Option so I can get Health Insurance! And call Senator Schumer to thank him: Charles Schumer (212) 486-4430. Say: I HOPE WE GET A GOOD, STRONG, ROBUST PUBLIC OPTION TOO, MR. SCHUMER. KEEP FIGHTING!
