Design*Sponge

Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge is one of my heroines. She has grown her blog from a tradition of truthful writing and basic aesthetics to this nationally (if not, internationally!)recognized authority in the design community. I think my favorite part of her is the personality of her blog, the community, and especially the content.

Most recently she posted an blog entry to a Documentary Herb & Dorothy. While working at the Milwaukee Art Museum I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the Herb & Dorothy donation. Last fall, the MAM exhibited some of the 50 works. It was a very sweet exhibition and the Vogel's story is a compelling story.

If you have a chance to watch this Documentary, please do it!

Over-a-ture-ever

Things that I do in my spare time. I spend time looking at videos on YouTube. Almost a year ago I started making videos. One of the many subscriptions I keep up with on a weekly basis is MysteryGuitarMan. His post Mystery Symphony was a lot of fun to watch. He's such a over achiever (overture-get it)!

Crush

Well, It's official. I have a whole new fascination for Boy/Girl Bands. A couple of weeks ago I found out that there were Korean, Japanese, etc... bands with 10+ members. When I was growing up the big name bands that every girl had a crush on were Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, and Hanson; and every the group of girls I spent time with wanted to be the Spice Girls. This teenage attraction did not spark my interest, however; I did go as Sporty Spice for Halloween, but only because I was able to wear my hair really short and put on my uncle's army uniform. Yep, I was a real tom-boy.
Anyway, I am finding that I feel like a teenage girl all over again when I see and hear K-Pop bands such as Super Junior and Girls Generation.

The Jealous Curator

A long-time friend moved to Oregon for graduate school nearly two years ago. The two of us were inseparable during our undergraduate years, until I graduated college and moved to Milwaukee, WI. It's not that I moved so far from college that it became impossible to meet frequently; it is the plain boring fact that life got in the way. I was always too poor and the fact that I didn't own a car didn't help either. She was busy with a full course load and work. Thus, our daily meetings came to an end. To make a long story short our correspondence has been limited due to my work schedule and lack of social life and her graduate studies and her social life. Most of our correspondences have been through facebook. This is not a bad thing, though facebook does not lend to a deeper conversation about life, love, or in this instance aesthetics. I submit to this fact of social media based correspondence. We are meant to store these short conversational tid-bits and wait until we can discuss these wall posts in great detail. Today, I received a little message that was simply this link, which led me to a much greater discovery.
