NYLON staffers are not sure this Luke Skywalker Lego watch is a good idea.

For one thing, it is incredibly distracting -

You can play with the little attached Luke Lego Guy all day long.

For another thing, we already have a superhero Luke working in our office, and so it might get confusing if we talk about it.

And also, what if a cop on the subway thinks the little light saber is a terrorist weapon?

Still, if you want to take your chances, it’s  $19.99 at Target.

Last night, I went to a Supper Club picnic at the Morris-Jumel mansion in Harlem, New York.

Despite being smack in the center of Manhattan, it felt like being on a farm, with fireflies, a huge quilt of grass and flowers, and – yes – mosquitos.

Just before dinner (barbecue beef tacos and watermelon salad), there was a fabulous performance by The James Gang, a contemporary dance troupe inspired by 1920s and ’30s dance styles.

There they are, in the middle of a routine, at left. It was pretty incredible, but it wasn’t the only time they performed – you can catch them every week at The Box on Christie Street.  xo faran
