The once-a-year opportunity for creative explosion of expression and bonafide haven for emerging artists alike, "Art All Night" lately yielded the newest member of my personal art collection: Peter, by Leah Bevilacqua. This piece exhibits mixed media on canvas, produced using a process that was new and slightly experimental for Bevilacqua. Prior to digitizing, printing, painting, drawing, gluing,

In the spirit of Oktoberfest, I will be reviewing various ales of which I have grown to love, ("love" is primarily a Belgian wheat ale in my vocabulary). Yes, I grew to love beer: I was not born loving the scent, smells and sweet froth of a full bodied and fermented yeast like most Americans. However, like most good girlfriends, I've not only come to love the stuff, but am actually writing about

Pondering, ponder, ponderedHow to borrow a life:Momentary glass of glimmer and shine,Slips passed the lips and down the throat,Round and smooth as a finely aged wine.Oh just for a day.Ahh but to hide, To dwell in a cave!Fluid, flux, flurry.Movement, Swirling  Away.

a series of wooden outdoor furniture benches and chairs was created by germandesigner mirko mielke and showcased at his exhibition titled 'le confident'.a key element of his designs was to signal a certain attitude about social interactionsrather than putting a focus on comfort. this is especially apparent in his double seater chairwhich allows two people to sit in discreet distance of each other

I often get these Eureka! moments while driving. The other day, at a red light, I was pondering perfumes and how I have accumulated a truly varietal collection over the years. I believe this all donned on me as I realized that my choice of the day, Alchimie by Rochas, was slightly more sophisticated and reminiscent of the scent of a 'highly respected mature women', rather than my normal 'creative

So today, while in traffic (as usual), I came up with another great, although admittedly whimsical, concept.

I mean really, if the venus fly trap can entice prey with a toxic beauty until it latches and traps them,

So she has finally launched her site which has conveniently scrapped together all of her endeavors into one very pink site. I browsed through and wasn't very surprised, it delivered everything I thought it would, a blog community with lots of fans, updates of all social media content and links to Facebook and Twitter, etc. There was one section that delivered quite a bit more that I had expected

Social Media has explosively impacted the way we perceive everything. It has changed the way I keep up with my friends, their lives, their families lives, some even post about their pets. It has also changed the way I act as a consumer: I Google & Yelp restaurants, hotels and companies, I scour Amazon.com to compare products for the best price. Basically, because of social media and the

This morning, my two year old Son came to me with a pink ball he had found lodged in between the dark and lonely space between his bed and the wall. He was ecstatic (as he has an unthinkable obsession with balls of all sorts at this age, tennis, soccer, football, you name it- he's all over it). Anyways, I found my son's genuine happiness and excitement escalated due to the fact that he thought

One day, I was tweeting (twitting as @pancake3 likes to call it) around and a fellow marketing savvy individual put a question out into the universe via Twitter, like a lot of wise people do these days, asking for some information about pop-ups and local brands. Now, most people, if not into retail branding or marketing, do not know what a pop-up is other than those annoying ads and spam that

My damn good excuse for not updating for at least 10 days is truly a valid one: it was MB Fashion Week. On top of that, I am working my little patooty off doing all things "mudilicious", and of course networking to make MudHuman advance from a vision to a productive reality for Miami Beach.-So far, so good.

All this chit chat about Andre Balazs has brought back some pretty fond memories from a time not too long ago. A wonderful women and accredited photographer Alissa Christine did a project called Ilovemiami365 where she shot one photo each day in Miami. The year long journey ultimately ended at the Standard Miami where they hosted a killer party on Dec 31st, 2008, to celebrate all things "Love"

Obsession is the word that most use in relation to their magnitude of amorous emotions for a man who is the single fleshly embodiment of all things luxuriously decadent and absolutely impeccable in taste.Hotelier, fashion connoisseur, entrepreneurial enologist, and just fabulous mover & shaker, André is one enticing character to observe, so definitely subscribe to observe the every "tweet"

She whimsically signed her soul over for a reality show, sky-rocketing her into a whole new world of possibilities, all to which she failed miserably. No Hills job could she successfully hold down, no design from her line did she wildly captivate eyes, and now? Now they expect us to gaze at this ridiculous cover shot of a Tween turned Novelist and have sincere penmanship respect?! Dear God,When

Madonna - She's Not MeShared via AddThisThis is pretty much a summary of my dramatic day today.If you don't have this album, you really should. Otherwise, no one need say more than the title of this song. Some people in this world are really INCREDIBLE.

Perfect! A $995 pair of shoes modeled after notions that equally inspire me (thus the name Trash Box)..Yup the new Loub's are all the rage and "trash" inspired with each pair being unique and featuring clippings of magazines, license plates, junk cars, etc.Leave it to Rihanna to rock it first while house hunting in NYC...Lucky little @#$^*! :)

My sister recently started Somedios, a Social Media Outsourcing Company. I was hired, with the aid of my beloved other half and praised Creative Director: Alfred Lamoureux, to do a few one sheeters for her presentation and sales pitches. The need to pitch the obvious fact that a brand is inevitably going to be interacted with, and acknowledging the need for one to proactively engage in this

If you have an iPhone and are anything like me, I'm sure you often gaze at it just wondering what infinite possibilities exist within the tiny frame. Recently, tethering hacking has been all the rage, turning your phone into a modem for your laptop or pda. Of course, this violates AT & T's User Agreement, but you do not need to jailbreak your phone, and it can be done for free by following the

As a kid, I loved all things slimey, stretchy, and gooky. Unfortuantely, most of these things were only useful for putting permanent stains on my clothes and getting caught in my long hair. These little bookmarks are the perfectly mature & intellectual compliment for my silly attraction! You can buy them direct from the designer here for $24.

So I have a problem where just about everyday my shopping addiction creeps up and overcomes any trace of a grounded mind. I had an idea of creating a universal wish list, similar to Google's Shopping List/Shared Shopping List. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to add items not featured by seller's on their Product Search, thus the issue. I want a universal wish list that is more user based (

Take me to Basel, to Venice Biennale! Normally, my heart whimpers when it is fashion week in Milan or Paris and I am stuck in some cubicle hundreds of thousands of miles away, with both eyes peeled to fashion blogs and online streams of "who's wearing what" at the latest show. However, never before have I thought so much about all affairs missed in the motherland of all art fairs! It is not only
