Here goes…

Well, with much encouragement from a friend over the course of last year, I decided to start a blog.  I plan for this to be a way of documenting my adventures and my obsessions.  Here is a little bit about what that might entail…

My job is in the art world.  I work with an amazing group of people at Dallas Contemporary – a contemporary art museum.  The biggest (and best) part of my job is meeting and working with artists.  I work closely with the artists to make their exhibitions come together.  It can be wonderfully insane at times but incredibly rewarding….and I would say – NEVER dull.  I have also been very fortunate to travel for my job.  My plan is to share about these little jaunts to art fairs, museums, private collections…and one of the things the art world loves – parties.

My newest obsession is tattoo culture – specifically what is going on in Texas.  “Bold, straight-forward and on the weird side.” That is quoted from a tattoo artist in Austin I have worked with over the course of the year, Jason Brooks.  More on that later…

I am often around interesting fashion and design (also because of my job).  I am no expert on either topic but I know what I like (and don’t like) and always wish that I had documented along the way.  This is the perfect place to get started.

Other things that I love and plan on sharing about:  my beautiful (and brilliant) nieces, food (food!), interesting cocktails, and fun things that I find (or my friends find) to do in the fine city of Dallas.  Oh, and things that have a touch of weird, erotic or pervy.

So here we go…cheers to this blog beginning in 2012.  Even if the only one who ends up reading this is my friend who encouraged me to start it.  Thank you to Little V’s mommy….shout out! xx
