By the time you read this I will have already left Chicago. Mind blown. I spent less than 8 months in this city, but am extremely sad to be leaving. It is especially tough to say goodbye because I didn’t get to experience even half of its wonderful offerings. However, because both my OB and… [Read More...]
Consider this fair warning—today’s post contains a bit of an Art History lesson. Forgive me in advance. I realize this may be somewhat involved for a Friday… On my recent visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA for all you Angelenos), I saw an exhibit that has really stuck with me. It… [Read More...]
Yesterday afternoon Lukus and I decided to take a trip over to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (or for those of you fond of acronyms LACMA). It was a fun little excursion filled with lots of American Contemporary art and early 20th Century German art. All good stuff. But alas, there was no… [Read More...]

Lately I have found myself in several conversations about inspiration. That illusive word. That word, that when present can create a masterpiece, but when missing has the power to inflict unspeakable pain. Dramatic much? Not to those who depend on these experiences… My sister is an artist. And she is able to find inspiration just… [Read More...]
This is the Honourable Daphne Suzannah Diana Guinness… aka Daphne Guinness, fashionista extraordinaire. For those unfamiliar, Ms. Guinness is one of the most relevant figures in modern couture. She is one part designer muse, one part couture historian and one part creative genius. She is surrounded by intrigue- some created, some not. And yes,… [Read More...]
Don’t forget to enter the great big PUMA giveaway! I know I am not an artist who works in paint. However, art inspires me like nothing else can. I would happily spend hours in a museum looking- thinking- experiencing. Art can do that. It speaks no language and every language all at once. But… [Read More...]
I mentioned earlier this week that my favorite aspect of Halloween is being frightened. I like to experience the emotional spectrum of a good Halloween scare: Shock, terror and then (when I realize it was all just a prank) relief. Art also has the ability to take you on an emotional roller coaster. Therefore, in… [Read More...]
