9 Cheeky Brand Tips TO INSPIRE: Why Don’t You…? 15Jul21

“Why Don’t You?” was the famous over-the-top expression of Diana Vreeland, the Vogue and Harpers Bazaar editor-in-chief who revolutionized the Metropolitan Museums Costume Institute. Diana was a style mentor to me all my life with her amusing, over-the-top “Why Don’t You? quips like:

“Why Don’t You… rinse your blond child’s hair in dead champagne to keep it gold, as they do in France?

Why Dont YouHave your bed made in China—the most beautiful bed imaginable, the headboard and spread of yellow satin embroidered in butterflies, alighting and flying, in every size and in exquisite colors?

“Why Don’t You conduct your affairs primarily from the bath?”

Random, cheeky and HYPERBOLIC, yes, but random, lush, funny, inviting and expansive vision is EXACTLY what gets our attention and drives intriguing stories,
the cornerstone of business and success. 
 
As a brand strategy and creative services agency, we are passionate about following timeless proven patterns of growth and evolution to guide our work with personalities and lifestyle brands in art, culinary, fashion, film, health, home, luxury, media, pop-culture + travel.

 In fact, we are thrilled to welcome our new client, Freck Vreeland, Dianas son. This extraordinary man is a former US diplomat; close advisor to JFK; friend of Jackie O; CIA spy during the Cold War and an inspiring, globe-trotting bon vivant writing his well-anticipated memoirs. Strategy, site and social media for this stellar man is happening,

Hes now on Instagram,too.

in honor of Diana
WHY DONT YOU
let us help you imagine, refresh or rediscover YOUR STORY
with Custom Branding, Strategy + Content?

WHY DON’T YOU
See our 9 Favorite Cheeky Brand Tips TO INSPIRE?
Let our case studies spark ideas on how we can help you reach your goals.

#1
WHY DONT YOU GO DIRTY + FUNNY WITH
THE RICH + FAMOUS?

DESIRE.
Every creator desires to connect to their next level of business in order to go bigger, richer or famous-er. The rule is that you must break the rules to get Mr. Bigs attention, and sometimes that means playing dirty. Let me explain

SOLUTION. TELL A NEW STORY.
Confession, I’ve personally tested this theory. I was a jewelry designer, and the aim was to connect our earthy, goddess jewels to couture designers. Based on an actual dream, in order to make an impression for our first appointment with Bill Blass, we filled a suitcase with actual dirt to present and pull our jewels from.

KPI.
Bill Blass was a little shocked at first, then clearly amused. He said yes and commissioned our jewels and shawls for his runways which put us on the map. The runways of couture designers Oscar de la Renta and Mary McFadden were next. Bigger things, like international reps, media, and sales followed.

CTA.
WHY DON’T WE present YOU and your “precious jewels” like lotus flowers rising pristine from the mud, Grasshopper? Let’s create your “break the rules” ideas and strategies. Design and product development? We love those too…hit reply to this email to schedule and inspired call towards making an IMPACT.

#2
WHY DONT YOU DO EVERYTHING
AS IF YOU WERE IN PARIS?

DESIRE.
Are you twitchy to up-level and create massive, Eiffel-tower-sized, engaging content?  

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY. 
Our client, Paris personal shopper @whatimlovingnow, Susan Tabak, desired to share more of her styling adventures and to build her brand. We responded, “LETS DO IT IN PARIS.”  

KPI. 
Our team launched Susan’s book with an event at the Louis Vuitton Soho NYC shop and created her style blog. But when we told her story in a video series that filmed dreamy and electric runways, parties, and places in the frenzy and fabulousness of Paris Fashion Week, this really launched her videos series and raised her profile.  

“There was a time when Americans loved Paris!” boomed The Kaiser #karllagerfeld as our cameras rolled!  

CTA.
WHY DON’T WE reel, story and video together? Paris is fab, and globally we’ve produced videos in places like mystic New Orleans to the misty Highlands of Scotland. We’ve produced expert interviews, cooking, fashion, health and music videos and even special lifestyle reports for ntv, the CNN of Europe.

Do you desire a video strategy? We can help you! Take a look at our agency Vimeo page featuring videos we’ve produced, styled or directed. From reels for Instagram to brand video series let’s strategize your exciting video programming! RSVP to this email, Merci!

#3
WHY DON’T YOU PLACE AN ENTICING DOORWAY
IN AN UNEXPECTED PLACE?

DESIRE.
Want the world to flock to your door? An unexpected opening creates engagement, notoriety and sales. How about flinging doorways across acres of Brazilian mountains?

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY. 
Pioneering wireless resort owner, Emmanuel Rengade hired us for original ways to call attention to his newest resort, Fazenda Catucaba, on a former coffee plantation set on 1000’s of acres in São Luís do Paraitinga, Brazil. Sure we introduced him to media, but it was our visionary introduction to the artist Pasha Radetski to create land art that put the resort on the global map with media coverage from Architectural Digest France to Casa Vogue and Departures.

KPI.
Our curation of Radetskis Portal do Sul, placed doorways across thousands of acres for a vast landscape installation. This premiered the art residency program at Fazenda Catucaba, followed by projects by two of the most famous Brazilian designers, the Campana Brothers and homes by Marcio Kogan.

This visionary project made the Top 100 and the Top 8 in the Landscape category in the CODA Awards, an international competition for design projects that demonstrate the most successful integration of commissioned art. Plus, the installation was covered in the media by international trend platforms, Trendhunter.com and PSFK.com.  

CTA.
WHY DON’T WE plant your groundbreaking vision AND open new doorways? We love to make business introductions and facilitate artist/brand collaborations! Reply to this email and let’s explore new exciting openings together.

#4
WHY DON’T YOU INSTANTLY UPSTYLE EVERYTHING WITH ONE POTENT SYMBOL?

DESIRE.
“You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It’s a way of life. Without it, you’re nobody. I’m not talking about lots of clothes,” said Diana Vreeland.

We say one symbol can make an icon.

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY. 
In the Breaking The Law music video (over 400K views) starring David Rogue and directed by Andreas von Scheele, actress Liz Fye’s character was glamorous, dangerous and a master of disguise.  

As stylist for the video, I created a big, blood-red satin rose necklace (enticing yet thorny) paired with traditional demure pearls. Campy movie star glam for hair and makeup along with the flowery dress added a humorous, polished energy for the tongue-in-cheek video, which also starred legendary producer, Ben Barenholtz, and actress, Rebecca Blumhagen.

KPI. 
Let our 30+ years of style help you become somebody! Whether its our vision for personalities (like Olympic athletes, hip-hop moguls and TV experts) or style for ads in the New York Times to designing costumes, video sets and retail stores ~ we love the power of style. (Hey, we’ve even styled pajamas for Cher.)

WHY DON’T WE venture a guess that you or your marketing is definitely missing is the power of an iconic, Operatic visual punch?  Let us help you create a new, stellar image for your personal style, place or brand. Style builds brands. Click here to see the stellar style icons we’ve worked with or reply to this email to get stylin!

#5
WHY DON’T YOU LAUNCH YOUR STARTUP
LIKE A DIVA OF THE OPERA WOULD?

DESIRE.
How to make the world pay attention to YOU and YOURS?
Do it like an opera diva!

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY. 
With a strategy fit for a diva, we launched Lake Como Italy’s first new 5-star luxury resort in 100 years, The Castadiva resort, now known as the Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como.

The resort is the re-imagined home of soprano diva Giuditta Pasta, the protégé and muse of the famed composer Bellini. The house was a meeting place for many artists, composers and singers in the 19^th century and we were chosen by an Italian agency (now our project partner) to bring editors, writers and influencers to the 20^th century, glamorous re-opening of the Diva’s home.  

KPI.
Key guests at our media luncheon and media tour in Italy included editors from Vanity Fair; Conde Nast Traveler; Travel Leisure; Departures; Allure; Aishti, the glossy from Bierut; concierge travel directors from Quintessentially, The Metropolitan Opera and the Smithsonian. Our guests also included the famous Fischers, of Fischer Travel.

Media: we placed features in Urban Daddy; Delta Sky; Wine Enthusiast and Afar magazine, and an Access Hollywood feature airing to 3 million people and the writer’s 1.4 million twitter followers. Spafinders, the industry leader, named Castadiva’s spa in the top 10 trends forecast for its pink Himalayan salt room.  

Celebrity Visits: Yes, George Clooney now enjoys Castadiva. Tyra Banks is a spa and restaurant regular. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski spent wedding time at the hotel so we whispered to Us Weekly who picked up the story for their 1.9 million readers and their even larger online audience.  

CTA.
WHY DON’T WE brainstorm the key media and influencers you want as your audience and design the engaging, OPERATIC strategy, content and experiences to reach them?! Let’s have a call, just reply to this message!

#6
WHY DON’T YOU… SAY THANK YOU…
RANDOMLY? A LOT!

DESIRE.
To be seen. To be valued. We all want to be known for our unique gifts. It begins by investing in gratitude at all levels of your brand and business.

Receiving the above Thank You note from our client was a surprise, while underscoring how refreshing gratitude is for the soul!

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY.
Soulful solutions. Every new story placed as a seed in the world begins with gratitude. Gratitude must be built into brand strategy.

The best part is that it works both ways, whether giving it or receiving …Thanks.

Both channels are key to a brands social media and PR today and thankfully our agency has been creating healing brand messages way before selfies.

KPI.
As a yoga practitioner since age 16, I have three decades in wellness work. From creative direction, content and project management work with brands, experts, B2B shows, products and experiences, click to see our wellness clients here.

CTA.
WHY DON’T WE help YOU focus on your gifts, your personal branding or cause marketing as a way to give back to the world? How about enjoying creating projects in a thriving appreciative relationship that only makes it all more powerful? If you like to work this way, give me a ping and thankfully we’ll ping ya back!

#7
WHY DON’T YOU BECOME THAT
FAMOUS AUTHOR…NOW?

DESIRE.
“Your book is your hook!” Now is the perfect time to stop wishing for fame and make your book a reality now!

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY. 
Whether you are ready to declare your identity as a famous author like our client, Jennifer Solow, and have Terry Richardson take your picture  …or you are a major brand like our client, Design Within Reach, reissuing a 1973 classic How To See, by George Nelson the famous designer, or you are a future famous new author, like our client, Emily Wolf, who tasked us with designing her branding, book cover and site, … making an impact with a book is a smart, thrilling adventure for you and your brand.  

KPI.
For Jennifer Solow, we secured endorsement blurbs for her book from icons the likes of Simon Doonan and Arianne Phillips, Madonna’s stylist.

For Design Within Reach, in just 3 weeks, we made George Nelson’s book the season’s hot design book via a New York Times style section write up; placements in the LA Times; and the magazines-In Step Design; Metropolis; ID and NPR. Just in time for the holidays, the buzz led to book sales!  

For new author Emily Wolf, our brand guidance and our cover design for her debut novel, My 31^st Year has her over the moon!

CTA.
WHY DON’T WE work together on your BOOK? From concept to media, we love helping authors with book proposals, editing, writing, content re-purposing, design and illustrations to styling author photo shoots. See some of our book clients here and schedule a free call.

#8
WHY DON’T YOU SPRINKLE SOME
“FENG SHUI IN TIMES SQUARE”?

DESIRE.
“Feng Shui in Times Square” is my metaphor for a game change.

Let me explain. Most people think Feng Shui means endless white walls, flowing organic, hemp drapery and a lot of pasture-raised plants. So yin, so Snoozy! The opposite of Yin, Yang energy, is equally a quality of Feng Shui. Times Square is one of the most Yang, Western-bling places on earth. Thus, we kinda love that our Feng Shui concepts and consult brings balance, supporting the designer of a new, HUGE luxury hotel in Times Square.  

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY.
How it started: Interior Designer of high-rise penthouses for titans of industry to homes for 3-star Michelin chefs, Marie Aiello came to us to fix her website to support her intentions for her business to grow and to add a major hospitality project to her portfolio.

We gave her total brand a refresh with our 9 Star Passport method, A GPS for life utilizing ancient/future Feng Shui + Yoga secrets, plus our stellar web team.  

KPI.
How its going: Marie’s business grew and she is now designing the hotel for Times Square’s most intriguing, massive new property, TSX Broadway.

CTA.

It is the first of its kind, gifting pure client-inspired vision for brand packages. websites, logos, design assets, social media images, and more. RSVP READY here.

#9
WHY DON’T YOU KIBBUTZ WITH EXPERTS?

DESIRE.
Yes, I do know Kibbitz is Yiddish for chat or small talk …but when we concept and create a panel, it is more of a Kibbutz, Yiddish for a community. I love “kibbutz” as a verb. Thus, my last brand tip…kibbutz with your community!  

SOLUTION: TELL A NEW STORY. 
After 20 years of Feng Shui practice and the development of my 9 Star Passport method, A GPS for life utilizing ancient/future Feng Shui + Yoga secrets, I realized the day had arrived for this ancient/future trend that married wellness and interior design. I wanted to explore that idea, along with other trends and ideas with leaders in the field.  

KPI. 
And so I concepted and successfully pitched a talk for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, ICFF Talks, called Across Perspectives: Design Futures, with a stellar lineup of industry pros led in conversation with Suzanne Slesin, publisher and editorial director of Pointed Leaf Press. The panelists included: Scott Sanders, interior designer;  Ellen Fisher, VP for academic affairs and dean at the New York School of Interior Design; Ingrid Abramovitz, features director, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Veranda; Rio Hamilton, design and fashion blogger and marketing strategist; and with us in spirit, Chad Oppenheim, principal architect at Oppenheim Architecture and myself, Jade Dressler, creative director, designer, and Feng Shui expert.

We had a full house on a Sunday morning at Javits Center and were featured in an article on the industry site, BOH, Business of Home!

CTA. 
WHY DON’T WE kibbutz? Let’s brainstorm ways to expand your audience and connect with others in your field for a cross-pollination of ideas that inspire. Let’s talk!

Goddess of CREATION: A DAP with Abundantia of Italy 04Mar18

Upon the last northern evening ebb of Rome’s Fiori delle Alpi honied dew and her fragrant-bursting blooms of Pittasporum, Mulberry, and Jasmine

sliding off the volcanic mountains
and tucking in to sleep

Buongiorno arrives!

Good Morning to a Sister-Sistine-Chapel-Dap a digital authentification protocol (DAP) of the Universe and suns energy to every dewy dreamer.

Why Italy. Why Abundantia. Why Now.

Pick head up. Look at the Sun. It sees You.

In honor of Romes Goddess of CREATIVITY, Abundance, and Prosperity, our gal whose very name, Abundantia, gets her voted Miss Sunshine, lets DAP with HER. Feel her warm, loud sing-song ciao! to every awakening, pulsing cell of citrus-fruit flowers, espresso machina steam, and morning sunbeam!

Ciao to her and YOUR vastness! I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of my illustration and story of Abundantia, she of the Mediterraneans beloved Italy, one of the total 12 goddesses in my adult coloring/comic book, Immortal Beloved: The World’s First Goddess Perfume + Coloring Book.

ahem. You ask why Italy? Ha!

Ciao! to every roaming, spiraling, bright smiling, curvy, Botticelli-bod, Mama Madonna goddess rolling over to wake up, huge smiles and stretches from last night’s romp with her lover! Ciao! to goddess Signora Abundantia here, all comfy centrale, cuddling baby amidst La Strada traffic zooming and That’s Amore! lovers meeting bods beneath sparkling fountains!

“Shake it awake,” says Italy, “Shake until gorgeous!”

Almost all goddesses everywhere in myth and legends are aligned with the energy of CREATION, being Mamas or archetypes for everything fertile under the golden sun. (like my best-ever favorite Prada ad above!) If we look at the globe of Mother Earth herself this goddesss belly is the Mediterranean (Middle Earth) area, an arching fertile crescent, aligned with the center of our own bodies. In the ever-churning flow of nutrients and sensory impressions which rule our experience, creation cycles our inner processing landscape of feelings and emotions of gut intuition, and like a sun, WE CREATE. Our center is symbolic of our guts, will power, strength, courage and visceral expression. Creation is a central core aspect to our health and vitality!

This energy is located in the third chakra, highest earth chakra of the body which is known as our

solar plexus

of nerves, called Manipura in Sanskrit. Translating, man or mani means “gem, mind or thinking mechanism” and pura or puri means “city,” translated literally as the “city of jewels,” or as science is lately affirming, our gut is the second brain of our body. I go further and call this area the third “Star Gate” of your body, home, and our Earth’s sacred body in space.

OK wow, right? A Pure Power and Prosperity Sync Up!

heres the background story

Once upon a time, pondering what really is the being of our sun, besides being a ball of fire and the whole of Creation here on Earth, I wondered why it wasnt a woman who actually got the dap from God?

I drew this:

which became this:

Of course, Abundantias receiving the DAP, from a male/God projectile to fill her famous horn of plenty, the cornucopia, is the must-have handbag of fertile goddesses globally. The multiple legends, depending upon the myth-teller, say Zeus/Hercules (strength) broke off a horn from the head of either the moping River God (sad flow) or a nourishing Goat Goddess (Mamas breast of ever-flowing milk) who was suckling him as a baby. A horn (or a finger) of course is a spiraling projectile that amplifies, cornu in Italian, + copiosus root of the word copious, for plenty. The water nymphs (light hearted emotions) stole it then from Hercules and gave it to the goddess Abundantia to see what she would do with it.

Hmmm.
Strength over moping
becomes Emotion moving
and then becomes a gift to Wealth.
That. There. Is. My. Golden. Goddess. Girls CREATION!

Every goddess in our book has a fingerprint, for the ancient global tradition of women marking safe places on the Earth, above is Abundantias. Part cornucopia, part two spiraling opposites, and if that isnt enough for ya, this happy little basket of all things twist-a-corner/corny/horn/horny is my inspiration for the chic Prada shoe heel in my illustration, below!

Many more Italy-deliziosos in the story and illustration. As I myself colored all the pink roads that lead to Rome and the goddess called Abundantia of Italy, I wanted to share some of my influences and inspirations in creating this goddess illustration from Sophia Lorens 1970s movies to

Gucci, Pucci, Fellini to the sun/star angels of Fiorucci and to the Sistine Chapel power dap. Mantras, elixirs, essential oils, scents, flavors, myths, and other fun deep dives as always. Discovering is the fun I had CREATING and all my wishes for you to discover the same!  Heres the text my immortal beloveds, with images that inspired the illustration.

PS. If you simply cannot wait one more minute to CREATE, you can get your own Immortal Beloved book here: amzn.to/2ByEIAV

Enjoy!STAR GATE 3 | CREATE | ABUNDANTIA of ITALY

“A woman born for love. A man born to love her.
A timeless moment in a world gone mad.”
I Girasole, Italian film poster, 1970

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.” “Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.”
Sophia Loren, Actress

“I think I deserve something beautiful.”
“I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on the water.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Author, Eat, Pray, Love

HER STORY IN THE ETERNAL MOMENT OF NOW.

Upon the last northern evening ebb of Rome’s Fiori delle Alpi honied dew and her fragrant-bursting blooms of Pittasporum and Jasmine, sliding off the volcanic mountains and tucking in to sleep Buongiorno arrives! Loud ciao! to every awakening, pulsing cell of citrus-fruit flowers, espresso machina steam, and morning sunbeam!

Ciao! to every roaming, spiraling, bright smiling, curvy, Botticelli-bod, Mama Madonna goddess rolling over to wake up, huge smiles and stretches from last night’s romp with her lover! Ciao! to goddess Signora Abundantia here, all comfy centrale, cuddling baby amidst La Strada traffic zooming and That’s Amore! lovers meeting bods beneath sparkling fountains! “Shake it awake,” says Italy, “Shake until gorgeous!”

La dolce vita was invented in Rome, where all roads lead. Too much is never too much for a gal like Abundantia at the crossroads of global culture. She gifts life and abundance through her creative touch, from a just-picked burst of Blood Orange zest to her ancient cities fully bursting with art and triumph. She inspires as the wind gives life to a square of Como silk fabric, unfurling it like a scarf, a map, lifting it up full of new ideas, from the depths of the Italian Riviera’s Mediterranean sea, all the way up to the highest Dolomites of the Italian Alps!

Her very essence is considered a Roman virtue. Conjuring Abundance, Good, and Plenty she is the ideal of more than enough food, wealth, and prosperity for all segments of society. She was gifted her signature symbolic cornucopia in an ancient myth, where it was first a horn popped off the brow of the River God by Hercules. The horn was taken up by the Naiaids aka Water Nymph Girls who transformed the horn into a spiral Bon Copia (Good ‘n Plenty) basket that was then gifted to Abundantia, as the poet Ovid epically rhyme-rapped. Hmmm. God guys are always giving their ribs, horns, and other similar phallic thingies to the Goddess girls no wonder Italy is an abundant cornucopia of sexy, sensual!

HER ANCIENT FUTURE SIREN SONG FOR YOU. Feeling Basta!? Enough! Too full, empty or undone at all your edges, and all you wish for is to be is back centered in your energia? Ward off your own evil eye, open your cornicello (cornucopia) and “Create!” sings the song of Abundantia through our third chakra. Bright yellow-orange center of the body, home of our solar plexus gang of nerves, this is also our intuitive gut, where we digest the world and put our spin on it in our own soulful way. When CREATE, Star Gate 3 opens, there’s always more and more. Italy is “Manifest Centrale,” amply feeding her kids, her brilliant actors, architects, artists, designers, chefs, musicians, fashionistas, business moguls, painters, and lovers.

As Italy’s aria, Abundantia is said to enter our casa during the night, lighting up and outlining the borders of our dreams, inviting prosperity. Well-heeled future visions always breeze through the mind of Italy’s creators in concert with the past, the gifts of the land, and Abundantia’s sunshine-beaming, gold coin horn of plenty. She is well fed and well pleased. In all our Voluptuous Nostalgia, we are Abundantia, too. We are the girl whose scarf unfurls behind her “on the back of a Vespa, swerving through the ancient, teeming streets of Rome with her Italian lover, flashing his brilliant smile around every curve.

Together treasuring secret love trysts at Piazza Navona, gelato licks at the Trevi Fountain, and orchestra tix for Teatro dell’ Opera dressed in Fortuny velvets.” Attenzione! Find abbondanza jewels in the illustration from Fellini, Gucci, and Fiorucci;

Princess Audrey in Roman Holiday to Mama Sophia in Her Own Story;

a Sistine Chapel finger dap and to di Chirico’s metaphysical vistas.

In The 9-Star Passport, the energy to create is at the center of a building’s space, just as it is in our body’s architecture and the Earth’s core. The chakra is called solar, and in traditional feng shui the gate is called Health, echoing the idea that our digestive system is the center of all health. That health is a golden center of light radiating and synched to our feelings and openness to creation itself is magnifico! Alchimia, sì?

HEAR HER, SENSE HER, HEAL YOU. Ciao, Bella Star Gate 3, radiating gold sun, buzzing yellow and black bees on sunflowers, the I Girasole of my eye! Ciao, bella organic, homemade ravioli, hills of Lemon and Olive trees for healing oils! Ciao to dancing the Tarantella in the village square, ancient scents of Ambergris, and heady notes of Mughetto and Gardenia pulsing at every Prada step and then zipping from villa to villa via a Riva speedboat on Lake Como! Ciao Bella Futura to the visionaries at 10 Corso Como and architect Stefano Boeri’s “vertical forest” building. Bellas! Ragazzo! Desire the whole Eat, Pray, Love sync? Check the center of your casa, add some oro (gold) and pronto! Bada bada boom, change the room, change your self!

HER MANTRA TO TRY ON FOR SIZE + FIT. Mmmmm! Create me, Make Me! I am that Diva, Abundantia, fertile and abundant by nature; sweet, and a brilliant sun goddess! I am centered in my body’s pleasure and creativity. Stamp me a laughing, sparkling fountain made for granting wishes, Fortuna Centrale!

~fin~

Extra notes! Im adding this in as a look back to an old college illustration, loving Italy back then, having lived there one summer. Notice Ive got this beauty leaning on a spiraling column of history!

Ive also always adored the folky, corniness of souvenir travel scarves, which of course, were a major inspiration to the illustration of Abundantia!

I was once told by a medium that I worked closely with Michelangelo. That always felt very right to me and like many others in the world, it seemed as if the stone was breathing and alive when as a wee person I looked up at the statue of David.

Including my photo from way long ago to arc to my latest favorite depiction of an Abundantia by painter Suzannah Martin. Its got the gold spiraling horn-of-plenty in a modern sense, these girls are such knowing-floating-water nymphs and their nude bodies should not be seen any different than that of David above!

If you agree, my work in healing our ideas of goddess has found its home!

Ciao! Bella!

Thank you for coming with me behind-the-scenes. I hope my art and words have inspired your CREATIVITY and of course, your CONNECT to the ever shining and healing energy of our golden sun.
