Curating Trauma: Marissa Cooper’s Death in The O.C.

I’ve come to that point where I am realizing I am able to speak about my work better than my work is able to speak on it’s own.  This means it’s time to try new directions with my work. For example, Marissa Cooper.  If you are familiar with this blog, than you are familiar with [...]

A Dame and a Dress

I know I am majorly late on this, but it doesn’t feel to proper to not have wished a certain dead movie star a happy birthday.  Marilyn Monroe was born 85 years ago this past June 1st.  Later today, June 18th, the infamous white pleated dress  from The Seven Year Itch is going up for [...]

A Jackie-a-Day…kept me away.

I tried to do a Jackie-a-day, I really didt…but I couldn’t.  It wasn’t because of my work ethic, although I questioned it.  It was my interest level.  Jackie sounded great on paper, but not in practice.  (I know, that’s a set up for some JFK jokes, but refrain) I was a bit surprised that Jackie [...]

No One Plays Elizabeth Taylor But Elizabeth Taylor….even on Twitter

“No one plays Elizabeth Taylor but Elizabeth Taylor” -Liz Taylor via Twitter. There’s no denying Liz Taylor.  This is not only a fact, but the lady’s life philosophy.  She is one of the few icons of Hollywood’s Golden Age not only still alive, but still broadcasting publicly that  why yes, she is still here. This [...]

Sal & His Wife, Mad Men Season 2

Imperfectly broadcasting.

So most people know I have had my head caught up in the likes of Marilyn Monroe for quite some time now.  The basic research is seeking a better understanding of this woman’s impact within her life-time, as well as after….and in general, how and why people respond to her so strongly.  After reaching a [...]
