KILL DOLLY
Yeah some folk aren't cut out to be parents and somehow this little gal isn't cut out to own a dolly. What self respecting dollymama would hold precious baby like some organ grinders monkey? I don't blame the little gal- she probably wanted a sling shot or marbles. Yet I can't help but hope she didn't go on to raise a brood of her own.
SUNDAY MIRACLES FOR ATHEISTS
Doesn't this look amazing? You can do amazing things too!
SON OF RAMBOW
I forget who directed this thing but he did a good job. See it. The kid on the right belongs to a religious sect that doesn't allow kids to watch TV. He runs into the kid on the left who is smart and screwed up and making a Rambo film. What I loved most was a book of scribblings/drawings by the kid on the right. It made me want to do a picture diary for my own pleasure. The director also uses animation in unexpected places in what is mostly a smart film about friendship. There are adults peppered through out but it is all pretty much the kids point of view. And yes we see quite a bit of their film making. SON OF RAMBOW available on NETFLIX.
Dos & DONTs for March
Yeah this Gautier model is pin thin but what really bothers me is that a Chinese robe was cut up so the sleeves could be made into boots. And they don't work as boots.
An over-sized necklace that would look good on Barbara Bush in the Bahamas does not work as a choker on this lady. The stylist should be fired.
This is a DO. If you have a broken computer take it apart.There is something satisfying and disconcerting. Satisfying because you go against the instinct to treat this object with deference. Tearing all the keys off was yummy. Then I did use a screw driver but once I got to s certain point it was kitchen knives and pliers. What was disconcerting or weird was to see the junk that a computer is made of. I mean in the past precious meant silver, gold, rubies, needlework, fine papers. This thing is crappy plastic and junky metal and nothing aesthetic. But yet it does so much. Can't get my mind around it just like I have never REALLLY understood how television works.

YUM- I HEART TECHNOLOGY
How do you like my screen capture? The site wouldn't let me do a download so I got the pix by photographing the image on the desktop! I'm intrigued with this Winter and Pond pix because of the fish and the pencil drawing on the side of the house. Although the little Tlingit girls are quite cute. But it's the art that grabs me.
Cool piece by Rachel Denny on an equally cool website run by designers here.
