21 Things Only Southern California Parents Understand

A Beautiful Mess


This store showcases antiques, artists, one of a kind jewelry, a large antique vellum book collection, along with “3 Fine Grains” and “Kymberley Fraser Couture” textile line. Candles burn the familiar and comforting scents one grew up with as a child, while the unusual, but remarkable lighting fixtures illuminate the path. Fine oil paintings hang beside rare antique copper engravings that overlook from the walls, acting as portals into another century. The store is tranquil: blending soft fabrics, unusual lighting, and styling vignettes to include contrasting objects which seem naturally placed reflecting her many passions and signature style.

The Gross Truth About How Often You Should Replace Your Pillow


http://huff.to/1AOyqrU


 


 


“Forever”: Written and Performed by Dael Orlandersmith, Directed by Neel Keller, World Premiere, A DouglasPlus Presentation


Starts October 9th at the Kirk Douglas Theatre


Inspired in part by Orlandermith’s experiences in Paris at the famed Père Lachaise Cemetery where strangers from around the world make pilgrimages to the graves of such legendary artists as Marcel Proust, Richard Wright and Jim Morrison. Orlandersmith also investigates the complex legacy she received from her mother and their life in Harlem. “Forever” is a riveting and powerful piece about family – the ones we are born into, the strange way powerful bonds are formed with people who, though unrelated by blood, come to feel like family, and the legacies that shape us all.
