Beth Harpaz, OTBKB reader and author of The Girls in the Van: A Reporter’s Diary on the Campaign Trail and Finding Annie Farrell: A Family Memoir wrote to say that she has photos (which may be the ones on Gowanus Lounge and will soon be here) and that she’s just very interested to see if anyone knows anything about the bride and her motivation for doing what she did. Was it a stunt, a performance piece, an act of madness? WHAT? DO TELL!!! The residents of Fourth Street and the rest of the city want to know.

It’s very Mrs. Havisham, isn’t it? Oh so Dickensianish. Here’s the note to me from Beth.

Hey there.

So there was this crazy thing on fourth street last weekend, a bride fast asleep in the crawl space above someone’s front door, she looked like sleeping beauty or snow white.

The cops came, a ton of ’em, and eventually carried her down – she appeared totally out of it – we all thought
maybe it was a scam but they cuffed her and took her away.

Dying to know what it was all about. A couple of friends told me to send my photos to you but I thought if I sent them to Gersh [Kuntzman, editor of the Brooklyn Paper] he’d have a reporter call the cops. In the end, he didn’t run the photos in the paper, just on the web site, and the story was just a rehash of the email i sent him – seemed like the cops were never called.

Anyway the photos are amazing, i have a whole bunch of ’em. you can see a couple of them on the brooklyn paper web site but I’m happy to email the rest if you are interested – really i’m just dying to know what happened –

What was she doing there?

A friend is certain that if you put a note on your blog about it, someone will spill the beans
