I was reading through the current Julie Braun Companies Show Stopper Newsletter and picked up a really inspiring design story -

Jacek Utko is a man on a mission; a mission to restore newspapers to their original glory. How? Through design. Watch as Jacek talks about newspapers, comparing them to musical compositions and other forms of art, and see how passion, good design and a bit of tenacity really bring about results.

I can relate because I truly believe good design can capture an audience and before you bury your product you should consider the design..plus consider the DESIGNER as being an important part of the equation. I think the problem is I fight for my say when really I’m usually in the environment where designers are not considered important..so a little road block on my end..

Nonetheless a little history - I worked for Julie Braun at clothing brand company  - she was the VP Creative Director and was and still is one of the most inspiring, funniest, creative people I know - she is utterly and purely unique in every way and just a great person all around.

I look forward to her posts and try my best to read through them on the weekends, she’s next to CBS Sunday Morning as being one of my most favorite things..

A friend posted that she was listening to the song by Judy Garland..I vaguely remember hearing it before but I know that line all too well..

I don’t think he got away in my situation, I think he just left. He didn’t really want to be in a relationship, I had never been in one and he was way too young and I was way too inexperienced. Plus there was the whole job thing - we worked together and he was just looking for a fling. I wasn’t.

So it didn’t work as I thought it would. Yes, I still think maybe it would have been something great if fate had presented itself but I guess nope.

Ah..nope.

Hopefully I’ll snag the next one that comes my way, seems I like I waited the 7 leap years so maybe my luck will change this time..

I was looking up the history on the original song, originally done by Judy Garland and then covered by some of my favs..Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright The Man That Got Away

Read this article on frisky.com about how “real men buy flowers”..

Yeah, no they don’t. There are no real men, you might find one or two that stumble into your lifetime but when they actually treat you right your just shocked that they exist so you question all their sincerity because you’ve been treated so badly…um. bitter party of one..

Well if there are men out there who are listening, which I doubt since no one reads this - thank god! - but if you happen to stumble upon this please, please PULLLEEEZZE take this advice.

Women love flowers and will LOVE you if you give them flowers and will remember every flower you will ever give them till the end of their days. Don’t mail them or order them online - pick them up from your nearest florist and pick out the colors that you like and hand deliver them..trust me there is nothing sexier than that and she will love you for it..
