It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Don't Quit Your Day Job... and bag your lunch while you're at it.

Don’t Quit Your Day Job… and bag your lunch while you’re at it.

Kim the Quilter wants to change the way people look at quilts and the people who make them. I personally love quilts (my mom has a huge collection back on the Cape)– but I must admit they don’t always fit with my decor. With that in mind, Kim of Don’t Quit Your Day Job, has...
Make a Lemonstory out of Lemons... or something like that.

Make a Lemonstory out of Lemons… or something like that.

We’re coming to that odd part of the summer where everything is still for about a month. The weather tends to settle down, work tends to fall into a pattern, and there are no crazy holidays to break the cycle. We have to wait until September for things to kick off and when they do...

For the Viskous Kid

For the Viskous Kid

I can’t stop listening to Nas‘ new album . . . somewhere between the (be prepared for some major ignorance if you click these links) Soulja Boy Tell’em/ Ice -T beef*, I was reminded what true hip-hop sounds like . . . it’s amazingly refreshing. Anyway, it’s Friday! Rumor has it we’re having girl’s night...
Because you spit hot fire...

Because you spit hot fire…

I actually chose Brains-on-Fire today because I feel like the girl in the picture (and because I wanted to start my day quoting Dylon). She’s got a sorta Mona Lisa scream thing going on… I mean she could ecstatically happy (notwithstanding the cuffs) or extremely frustrated or she could be somewhere in between… and I...
Viva Vivienn

Viva Vivienn

Taking a deep breath… exhaling… repeating. Yesterday was trés interesting for a number of reasons: (1) I learned that people will never cease to both amaze you and disappoint you. . . and that in those moments, you will always know who your true friends are; (2) I got stuck on chapter 8 of my...
Lotsa drama, itty bitty bra

Lotsa drama, itty bitty bra

I wish I had more time to write… but I’m already running late. This post is for those of us who are more athletically inclined… introducing a bra specifically designed for those with A- B cups! The makers of the itty bitty bra (ok, get over it,) understand the challenges and frustrations of intimate apparel...

b. reasonable/ b. swim

Of course I have apartment drama right off the bat! Isn’t that always the way? It seems that my neighbor and I are most def not going to get along . . . it’s a shame really, but more annoying than anything. I would usually refrain from posting such tid-bits on the site, but based...
Blooming Roses and Shimmery Minerals

Blooming Roses and Shimmery Minerals

If I remember my sophomore year philosophy class correctly, Plato was the one who said something about necessity being the mother of all invention. I will google that later to confirm… but for now I’ll write about indie boutique, Blooming Rose (see, sometimes I do read e-mails from the top down). Blooming Rose- The House...
Rap- Lies= Nas?

Rap- Lies= Nas?

I told myself I wasn’t going to write about Nas’ new album . . . but how can I not, I mean, it’s Nas. After his first album I fell in love . . . but then he changed (typical guy). There were of course little glimpses of his former self sprinkled throughout his subsequent...
Loving Turk + Taylor's Tailored

Loving Turk + Taylor’s Tailored

You’d think that my current move/ living situation would give me more free time, however I feel like I’ve been running around incessantly ever since. For those of you who have e-mailed me with link exchanges, I promise to update my links this weekend. For those with site suggestions, I’m (embarrassingly) still in May and...
Relax with Dorothy Lee

Relax with Dorothy Lee

Finally! A weekend where it’s not 100 degrees, I’m not moving, and I don’t have overwhelming plans. Don’t you find that more you do, the harder it is to actually relax? Anyway, that’s what I’m devoting this weekend to– complete relaxation! When I think “relaxed” my mind drifts to some of my favorite designers. The...
