pete,
I said “admirably”
for that very reason.
I think it’s great,they can follow their dreams.
But realistically speaking, you need funding from somewhere
and the magazine articles often leave that out.
$4000 solar trashcans?! NYC must be flush with cash burning a hole in its pocket. If the endgame is big cuts in the number of sanitation workers on payroll leading to overall cost savings, thats one thing, except for that its only hurting blue-collar workers so that libs feel greener (except that a normal wire can is greener than this plastic contraption with godknowswhat used in the electrical components)
They were students at RISD, and started their own business. Would have thought that instead of derision they would be getting praise for entrepreneurial spirit from a certain sector.
Is there something about artsier people that provoke some inner envy among the more conventional?
Hi Noki,
I’m such an idiot sometimes,
I found an Eames chair once, someone left it on the curb for disposal, it was maple with white
leather, don’t know if it was an official Miller issue but it was close enough and quite nice.
Didn’t have room for it at home so I placed it in the hallway of a property I own.
It was gone within the week,
didn’t bother investigating, I figured
somebody must have really wanted it.
Noki – LOL w/ that yellow pot – I had to look several times to figure out what the sam hill I was supposed to be admiring!
I’m surprised Goldstein’s wife is still putting up with all of this. She must be as big a nutjob as he is.
Legion, Indeed.
Just taking in the full range of Eames chairs (and so on!) that have been “passed down” by grandparents’ll tell you that.
Just read the Cobble Hill apartment story;
-she quits a paying job in a recession.
-he moves to a pricier apartment.
-they are both following artistic career paths (admirably).
There has to be daddy/mommy money somewhere in there.
Funny, Dave. I read the same article and had a similar reaction. I particularly loved that every time (which was several, it seemed) they mentioned ‘Kingsley, their Standard Schnauzer’, they had to say it was a ‘Standard’. And that they pointed out the yellow pot on the stovetop as something special that was uniquely placed in order to distract from the faux marble countertops and backsplash. They need to be parodied in that “things that hipsters do” (or something) website!
