I Can't Decide if Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun is a Smart Cookie or A Twatwaffle

Vigée Le Brun was a highly sociable person, and her Souvenirs are filled with descriptions of people and social gatherings. But her memoirs also strongly convey the message that the path of the professional woman artist was unique and at times lonely. Her personal life was marred by her unhappy marriage (she divorced in 1794), and by her daughter’s own disastrous marriage and early death. To an extent, her travels are represented by a period of exile, strongly marked by nostalgia for a bygone era, and darkened by the shadow of the Revolution. Hence the figure of the solitary woman resonates throughout the text and is emblematic of the work as a whole.

hrrrthrrr:

I might be working on a Frank Gehry house.  (I die, rachel zoe, I die.) Today has been kind of an amazing day.  The fact that I will be stepping in a private Gehry house on Monday is just icing on the cake.

AGAIN, I LOVE to see that cool people who love what they do can do really amazing work!

Today’s GOOP is all about Thanksgiving and has some ideas for leftovers. Do you think Gwyneth really eats gnocchi?

You can use: A wine bottle (empty or unopened). Sure, you can fork over the $40 for something you use only at Thanksgiving, but why would you when a wine bottle works just as well? Sandwich your pastry between sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent sticking. Press down firmly on the bottle with one hand; grip the neck and steer with your other. (If you chill the dough to firm it up, do so briefly: Slightly firm dough is easiest to control.)

WHOA this takes me back to some fun cooking times!

The difference between marketing and other sectors of business is that in marketing we can cover up our bullshit with fun logos and pretty colors.
