FOOD IS BEAUTIFUL

The Rogue Underground Dining Society

again expressed its extraordinary talent

for transforming the freshest, locally grown foods

into creatively prepared dishes . . .

for twenty appreciative diners,

by anonymous chefs, sous chefs, sommelier,

and dedicated staff and servers . . .

at their 22nd consecutive gourmet dinner,

at the home of a generous host couple

(and their well behaved dog.)

THE FREEDOM

OF CHILDREN'S ART

A recent exhibit of children's art

at COCA in St. Louis

(Center Of Creative Arts)

featured the work of local untrained youngsters,

principally how they see the world and each other.

These drawings and paintings demonstrate

how children see the world, and each other ....

the creative power, raw talent and freedom

that resides in each of us

(no matter our social, racial or economic background)

. . . before we grow up!

VIENNA'S POSTER BOY

FOR SUMMER FASHION

Not your typical Hollywood

"glam" Adonis for the fashion world,

MuseumsQuartier has chosen

a unique model to promote its

summer of fashion in Vienna.

With little more than a sunburn

on his tender, pink, naked body,

MQ's Summer of Fashion model adorns

posters and ads through Austria's art district.

MQ has scheduled a non-stop summer

of exhibits and fashion shows,

many of which are held outside in their courtyard.

And you know to expect something unexpected

on the Vienna fashion scene -- a gender shocking exposé.

Have a look . . .
