Before I step one more foot into 2010, I figured I’d have a go at rounding up the colorful events, people and well-colors that shaped this past year. There were plenty of highlights, a few too many lows if you asked me and some media sensations that simply made you wonder “Do we all really [...]
For as long as I can remember I have been an editorial junkie. In high school I religiously studied each and every issue of Seventeen magazine as if they were the scriptures themselves. When I went off to college my Mother’s back issues of House and Garden and House Beautiful went off with me.
