‘Fashion editors and department store buyers have long had the biggest say in what parts of designer collections make it to market. This pattern is changing, however, thanks to a more social web culture and better tools to facilitate online voting, purchasing and even customization.’

The opportunity to be unique is right in front of us – if we really want to take it. Article here.

The ‘print as needed’ model I really like. It’s one of the reasons I have some of my own stuff available at Zazzle and Café Press.

‘In 1968, The Velvet Underground finally found a large, mainstream audience during a performance on the Lawrence Welk Show’

My parents were just the right age to LOVE Lawrence Welk.

When I was really, really young, they even took me to a concert. While his band was playing, he came over and talked to us.

I was still just young enough to be really cute. So I had to ask him, ‘How come you can’t count past two?’ (which is a joke only a diehard Welk fan would get). He laughed.

Saturday night was Welk night. Early Saturday night, not too late. It still is.

Lawrence Welk was sponsored by the always present, always hyped Geritol. Which I grew up thinking was THE wonder drug that could solve all problems and cure all.
