Q&A WITH MISS PIGGY
Tell us about what it was like collaborating with M·A·C on a collection that captures your iconic beauty look.
Oh I adore collaboration—especially when everyone is there to listen to what I have to say and do exactly what I tell them to. And those fabulously talented people at M·A·C did just that. They were more than willing to listen, learn and be inspired by moi, so t [...] Continue reading →
Have playgrounds become too safe for kids?
by Lylah M. Alphonse, Senior Editor, Manage Your Life
Playgrounds these days are usually brightly colored things, low-slung plastic-coated structures with short, gently sloping slides, set on surfaces covered with shredded rubber or wood chips. No see-saws. No hand-pulled twirling whirling rides. No super-high jungle gyms to climb. Swings (if there are any) often have safety bars and seat belts attached.
But that wasn’t the case just a generation ago.
“I am still quite nostalgic for the two-, three-, maybe three-and-a-half-story high wooden playground castles I grew up with 30-odd years ago,” says Alex Gilliam, an architect and a national expert on K-12 design education. “We’re now at a point where every playground is pretty much the same. And they’re [...] Continue reading →

(CNN) — Every day where we work, we see our young students struggling with the transition from home to school. They’re all wonderful kids, but some can’t share easily or listen in a group.
Some have impulse control problems and have trouble keeping their hands to themselves; others don’t always see that actions have consequences; a few suffer terribly from separation anxiety.

Stocking Stuffers: Fashion Books

If you stacked all the fashion books published this year one atop the other, the pile would probably be taller than Tavi Gevinson, the tiny teen fashion blogger.
Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lesson's for Making It Work
There’s a good few inches just from “Project Runway” alone, with “Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lesson’s for Making It Work” by Tim Gunn (Gallery, 272 pages, $23.99) and “Nina Garcia’s Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion” (Voice, 336 pages, $23).

Granted, Gunn’s latest is more about designing a wonderful life than a look, but any fashion fiend you know would probably appreciate it [...] Continue reading →
Manic Monday – Tibi Wears Chipped Nail Polish
Chipped nail polish is causing a flutter, again.
(The beauty-obsessed among us will recall a brief period in 2008 when undone manicures were a tip trend, as recorded in The New York Times.)
Just yesterday, American designer Amy Smilovic — the designer behind the fashionista-loved little dress line of Tibi — uploaded a picture of her wearied and worn chipped-up red nail polish to her Facebook page. The big deal? She paid someone to paint her nails to look that way — for a wedding in Georgia.
“I have a perfectly sane reason as to why I would request a screwed up manicure,” starts the designer in the photo caption. “When I was in London this summer, I had drinks with an editor from Vogue. She was of course tremendously chic and amazingly put-together [...] Continue reading →

Rickshaw Bagworks – "Zero"-ed in on Fashion
When faced with the question of what makes an item “work” in fashion, my list is short. First — aesthetics. Any item that wants to continue it’s assessment, starts here. There has to be something that catches your eye, piques the curiosity, and garners your attention. Once that is checked off of the list, next up, is function. What is the vision for the piece, and does it meet the vision? What was the design process, and did the item succeed in meeting it’s purpose? Finally–sustainability. How does the article hold up? What type of materials make up the item, and are they appropriate for it’s function? If an item is able to meet those 3 qualifiers, then I would say for certain, that the piece “works.”
Enter, Rickshaw Bagwork [...] Continue reading →
