I adore the period in our cultural and creative history cultivated between the 1880s and the 1950s, particularly the Aesthetic movement, Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau movement, and early Art Deco movement. I have a deep appreciation for the arts, design styles, architecture, fashion, music and all creative modalities that emerged within this magical segment in time. I love to write, dance, paint, and embrace the creative process in general. This blog is my attempt at merging my chosen forms of self expression with the beauty of the present moment, and the beauty of the past. All work is written or created by me unless cited as otherwise, and protected under copyright law. Bon voyage et bonne chance!

Hep! Hep!





Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers, 1943. My Grandma told me a story shortly before she died about how she and her best friend Jane skipped school, fibbed to their parents about where they would be, and took the trolley into DC to see Cab Calloway. She said they were the only "white girls" (it was 1936) in the joint and that it was one of the most exciting amazing things she ever did. She kept it to herself for all her life because she did not want to "encourage" her children and grand children with her rebellious behavior. Here's to you Granny! Love you always.
No trolley necessary thanks to modern technology; it's all in the title. Click it!
