The public is more familiar with bad design than good design.

It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with.

The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.

We've had these sleek watering cans from Born In Sweden instore for several months now, but I finally brought a red one home for my use. Figured if I had something so fantastic to remind me to water my small plants, they might actually have a chance of survival!
So far, so good...

I've always loved this photograph because of what it embodies, a promise of America that is spirited, youthful, sexy, driven, rebellious, hopeful, outrageous. Lensman Douglas Kirkland clicked this now iconic image of Ann Margaret in the Las Vegas desert in 1971. I was 4 and living in Southern California during its prime.

It might now seem like the winter of this nation, what with twisted priorities ike a government paying for a pop star's funeral when a legion of teachers are getting their pink slips.
But life can be good again. Hope springs eternal, right? Promise is in the pictures.

Happy Independence Day.

pandora discounted charms Silming links of london jewelry Susan said it made feel like a Hollywood actress. "What about my hairstyle?" she was joking. From the front cover, the photo has not been largely PS. It reduces some people's worries, because they are afraid that Aunt links of london bracelet Susan will become a total different person through this hollywoodish change, which also reduced her attractiveness.
