G A Moore’s Menswear - An Eyesore or an Art Installation?

Mira - Maybe he does smell it - but as the saying goes, it takes all sorts...and maybe it reminds him of his dad and days gone by. Who knows? It's much loved though...

African Linsangs (Poiana richardsonii): Ringtails of Central-West Africa

Yes, you're so right. I, too, think that artists derive inspiration from lesser-known images of the natural world, as you say. Life through a microscope and cosmic images are fascinating, too. I now see where Poiana as a genus name came from ...

Five Famous Courtesans

Interesting article, Susan! I learned a little bit more history. It's amazing how society worked, and how many affairs happened in very small circles. I didn't know of Mary Boleyn, for instance. Also didn't know how Madame du Barry gained her ...

G A Moore’s Menswear - An Eyesore or an Art Installation?

I can't believe he (the owner) doesn't smell anything from below. Or get allergies or something. I agree it's interesting as a project and so much in the vein of some contemporary art, but I'd rather know the building was abandoned or something ...

Review of the Disease Free Book from Reader's Digest

Review of the Disease Free Book from Reader's Digest

Thank you, Violette, for your comment. Yes, walking is wonderful. Glad you like the coffee mug. Don't know what happens with Zazzle: I tried two different mugs and they all point to a certain napkin.

G A Moore’s Menswear - An Eyesore or an Art Installation?

Dream Come True? Neil Gaiman's Sandman Film

Sandman is the perfect place to start in my humble opinion. Alan Moore's 'V for Vendetta' and 'The Watchmen' are very topical. I also love Joe Sacco's political stuff. Those are my recommendations.

How to Travel With Arthritis

Last night, when reading, I discovered that nettle tea is a palliative for arthritis. Use the leaves of young nettles, preferably the small ones at the top, and boil them in water, then drink the resulting tea. The sting disappears in hot water. ...

Five Things Feminism Isn't

I dislike quantification of equality [50:50]. It seems to be associated with the notion that men and women share every task equally. There is no wrong in this, but as long as each side gives equally to a relationship there can be differences in ...
