You know, when your out to dinner with friends or having a dance party at your place. The ILKF subject could be something you toss into a discussion (between dances of course) and impress all your friends with your KNOWLEDGE. The phrase "I love knowledge" is from an episode of Designing Women. For those of you who might not know the show here's a brief plot summary  via IMDB  Designing Women focuses on Julia Sugarbaker, a soft spoken southern woman and her ex-beauty queen and snobby sister Suzanne who own "Sugarbakers Design House" in Atlanta, Georgia. Their co-workers included the pretty red head Mary Jo and the sometimes dimwitted but also pretty Charlene . Anthony was a black ex-con just recently out of prison who got a job at Sugarbakers doing delivery work. The series ...

R ogelio Manzo In most works, Manzo places the figures in the foreground with rarely a sense of an environment. Thus, the viewer is forced to focus on the fragmented visages and figures that are painted with an expressionistic fervor.  Check him out * interior images via   I pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.

That's me in the back behind my mom. I  recently read an article  in P sychology Today   about birth order and personality. I'm the second born in a family of six, all girls. This is important.  Had I been born a boy - I would have the personality of the first born even in my family of six because I would be the first and only male. (would that make me an only child too?) As children, first-borns strive to emulate and please their parents, and often dominate and care for their younger siblings. Parents tend to delegate responsibility to firstborns, who identify with their parents and with authority. Therefore, relative to their younger siblings, first-born children tend to be more extraverted and confident, more conformist and conservative, more conscientious and academically inclined, and more dominant and authoritarian. First-borns are likely to be least comfortable in situations that require radical change or innovation , in self-managi...

This is the story of my first   unfamiliar , un sophisticated encounter with a mini bar and clones in New York City.                                              My co-worker Allison and I made our first business trip as fabric buyers to the Big Apple in the early 90's.  We arrive at JFK early in the morning, retrieved our luggage and grabbed a cab. We are staying in what we were told was the hippest hotel in the city. We are so excited. The cab pulls up to the hotel where we're met by the doorman. He's wearing a grey Nehru jacket with charcoal slippers, his hair is jet black.  He looked quite emaciated, and I had my doubts as to whether he could lift our bags. Frankly, he just didn't look well, his jacket and skin were the same shade ...
