Wordpress

Dear Wordpress,
Why must you be so user unfriendly?  Why is everything so difficult with you? I have a lot of videos and pictures to share with the 2 comeupkids.com readers I have and now I can’t even do that.  Just what are you good for?

COMEUPKID: Krisztina M.

Remember back in the day when women dressed up for every occasion? No matter what the style of dress was, there was always a fedora, newsboy, cloche or anyone of the many popular hat styles to complement the outfit.

READING MATERIAL: Art Nouveau Magazine

This statement may be a little biased but if you’re looking for some of the most creative talents in Atlanta, just go to the AUC. Again, that statement may be biased because I’m an AUC scholar but trust me on this. I’d like you all to check out Art Nouveau Magazine. It […]
