you can call me Rebar Girl!

So I just got back from spending the weekend in Nashville. It’s a lovely place, but I’m not so sure I belong there. It’s the land of country music and cowboy boots. It seems that I should fit right in, being from Texas and all, but I can’t say that I do. Any place that has…

sunless Seattle

Last week I went to Seattle for a couple of days. What a great city! And what a great place for a night stroll, as long as you stay dry and warm. I wandered around Pike Place Market for a bit. Did you know it opened in 1907? That makes it one of the oldest…

art museum posts are my favorite kinda posts

A few years ago, The Kimbell acquired The Torment of Saint Anthony. It is supposedly Michelangelo’s first painting. You can see it above– depicting an old guy being attacked by a buncha demons. How cool…

Roshe Run Sneaker Boots take on Chiberia

So I was in LA on Monday, enjoying life. That is until I had to fly back to Chicago that night. I went from a blissful 80 degrees to -12 degrees (which was supposedly -52 with the wind chill). Don’t pull out a calculator, your math is right. That’s a 92 degree difference in just…

My door is constantly covered with the most odd…
