"I hate flowers. I paint them because they're cheaper then models and they don't move"
-Georgia O'Keeffe

I saw an Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keeffe exhibition over the summer at the SFMOMA in San Fran. O'Keeffe is so famous for her flowers....who knew she hated them.

Do you know a Rube Goldberg machine when you see one?

As defined by Merriam-Webster (Who is M-W? A word conscious husband and wife team perhaps? How nerdy and intellectual of them.): "Rube Goldberg"- accomplishing something simple through complex means.


"Professor Butts and the Self-Operating Napkin"

The "Self-Operating Napkin" is activated when the soup spoon (A) is raised to mouth, pulling string (B) and thereby jerking ladle (C) which throws cracker (D) past parrot (E). Parrot jumps after cracker and perch (F) tilts, upsetting seeds (G) into pail (H). Extra weight in pail pulls cord (I), which opens and lights automatic cigar lighter (J), setting off skyrocket (K) which causes sickle (L) to cut string (M) and allow pendulum with attached napkin to swing back and forth, thereby wiping chin.

A metaphor for life perhaps?

Leading up to Xmas down under!

Hey Hey! 

No posts? No time! 

I am working for 2 jobs in 3 locations and am flat out it seems. No time for anything! Today I juggled the 2 jobs and worked 12 hours. Tomorrow it will be 13 hours! One is in pricey clothing and the other is pricey homewares...oh retail my old friend...how convenient you are at Christmas...and I was worried about getting a job! I turned down cheap jewellery and very pricey accessories last week and for the jobs I am currently at...nice to feel valued in any industry =)
