Lisa Frank

Let me take you back in time, to the year 1992. When grunge rock was the latest thing, and the 1992 presidential  elections between Bush and Clinton was in full swing. And I had the greatest thing a 2nd grader could ask for, I had a Lisa Frank trapper keeper.
This weeks we were asked to post about about something that inspired us and think Lisa Frank's work fits in to these parameters perfectly. 

Robots!

Now, most people fear robots, and think that they will try to take over the world. But I have have a different view. I love robots! I think they are just the coolest, and can't wait  have my very own robot friend. But the reason I am writing about robot friends is because I just say a very cool campagin from G.E. about robotics in everyday live.

I am so very inspired by this commercial. Making robots into everyday type "people". I hope you enjoy it too.

Inspire me

I was a photo major in my undergrad years at MICA. I studied how to use film, filters, processing chemicals and lens. I worked in a darkroom with a red safe light that dimly lite the room. It would take me 5-10 minutes to developed one photo. One may think that this would make me crazy, but I loved it.
But the old ways of analog are for the most gone. In with the digital darkroom, and out with the old ways of chemical smelling dark rooms. And that is why I love seeing a photography that marries the two ways of making a photo.

My Life in Vintage

Maybe it's the feeling of the fabric, or the classic cuts and styles, or perhaps it is the scene of history in the garment.  I love the feeling of mismatching decades with an outfit or impersonality a famous movie star from the 1920's. For project 7 I am going to write memoir about my hobby collecting vintage clothing.

Winter is coming!!!

No really winter is coming, have you been outside lately it's cold! But the reason I am writing about winter coming is because of the Game of Thrones meme. All over the internet people are talking about how "winter is coming".

Here is my favorite:

And here is an examination of the meme.

poke that dot!

Some women love diamonds, and some women adore perfume, as for me... I am a girl who enjoys the look of a good polka dots! Vintage clothing comes in many variation  and styles: silk, floral, rayon, stripes, cotton, or zigzag. But whenever I shop for vintage I look for the round pattern spots known as polka dots.
