Hey, would you look at that? Print media’s not dead, it’s just gone small-scale. If things like Indie Mart and Etsy can renew the public’s interest in lovingly-crafted stuffed animals and recycled jewelry, why can’t someone do the same for all those things we’d rather read on paper than on a computer screen?

I was standing in line for a burrito today behind a group of ladies, all wearing spectacular summer shoes: hooved, heeled leather creations that encompassed the ankles, high-heeled strappy sandals that laced up the calves, cute 50’s style memorabilia heels…I looked at my feet and gave a silent prayer to my beat-up, brick-red Chuck Taylor ...

I quickly grow weary of homemade sandwiches, I resent salads, and I’ve eaten enough canned soup at ... Read More →

I was terrified at first, the only dance I’d taken was jazz in the seventh grade. My fears were assuaged after the first class. Contrary to the name, belly dancing is more ... Read More →
How many times have we told you to get your ass down to Indie Mart? Like a million times. If you haven’t made it out to one yet, then you still don’t know what kind of unique or inexpensive finds you’re missing out on. It’s like a farmer’s market, except the local produce is cute ... Read More →
One of my favorite things about living in the Western Addition was spring time, when the cherry blossom trees would burst into flowers – not just because it’s a spectacular sight but also because someone in the neighborhood would decorate the trees with stuffed animals. Alligators laying across low-lying branches, blue and green bears, a ... Read More →
