Chicago, IL USA. It is nice to see so many people participating in FAUX FUR FRIDAYS here in Chicagoland. Wherever I go...I see people (men, women and children) wearing a variety of Patterns, Colors and Textiles of FAUX FUR. What I find especially endearing are those that take FAUX FUR to the Limits - or beyond as:
The Homeless Man with a laptop computer sitting on the Howard Red Line Train sitting and typing away. The Cover of his Laptop was covered in Faux Fur. When I asked him about it - he said it also served as his pillow at night. He didn't realize that the heat of the PC would be inhibited by the Faux Fur. Even in his humble State, he still wanted to 'dress up' his Computer. Creativity knows no Borders.
Gloves have to be given a HAND. There are more Leopard Print Gloves being worn by Chicago Women this year than ever before. The Pattern seems to match almost everything -- except an Irish Plaid, but then in cold Chicago Winters, it doesn't matter what you wear as long as you can keep warm. Keeping in Style with Faux Fur is just a reminder that some Prints never go out of style...no matter how low the Temperatures drop.
ASK's PREDICTION: With chilly March Winds blowing in like a Lion in a few days, Faux Fur will be with us for a spell...That's a Fashion Statement that will outlast the Best of Us...

Intl Year of Astronomy: 2009...400 years in The Making...
Chicago, IL USA:
Everybody wants to be a Star, but in reality, We all are. There were Stars so many years ago before White-Out, iPods and the invention of the Phone, it’s nice to look back and see how far We’ve come.
And on that note and opening, I would like to inform you (as you probably already know) 2009 marks the 400TH Anniversary of the Telescope...and Galileo was the Personality who set the pace for us to become as ‘Stellar’ as We are.
FURTHERMORE: Hailing from Illinois, it is a proud year here as we are celebrating the 200th Birthday Celebration of our 16TH President, Mr. Abraham Lincoln who lived and worked here before he journeyed to Washington, DC. The same Stars that shown down on Honest Abe, as it did on Galileo still brighten up our Nights. There’s nothing more glorious than stepping outside on a moonlit night and seeing the STARS.
Since Mrs. Obama is making the White House ‘The People’s House,’ people (of all ages) from across our World may like to come in for a week-long Celebration of this Historical as well as Scientific Event. There is a Global Celebration happening April 2-5 already. By having the White House participate in this once-in-a-lifetime Event – by perhaps inviting famous Astronomers coming in to talk to THE PEOPLE as well as hosting Science Fair Exhibits that deal with Astronomy – a great time could be had by all. To further the process, essays could be written by Students attending that would be made into a book -- or placed online so the Event would be immortalized.
Because 2009 is earmarked as:
IYA is the International Year of Astronomy
this definitely is a Concept that has the Backing of so many Enthusiasts, whether they are professionals – amateurs – young or old. We all live under the same star-studded skies that we shared with our Ancestors and that will be shining down brightly in the Millenniums ahead. This Event could change the Course of many People seeing a Career in Astronomy for starters alone.
And with this emailed Note, I am hoping that THE WHITE HOUSE will hold this Event (April 2-5 which is the Time many organizations are kicking off The Event) that has set The Pace of our Understanding with the Universe and what lies behind our Earthly Planet called ‘Home.’
EDITORIAL NOTE:

FAUX FUR FRIDAY #8 introduces: FEM: FAUX FUR EYELET MATERIAL
Chicago, IL USA: The colder it gets in Illinois, the more FAUX FUR Outfits are being purchased. This is the General Tendency of so many Women who are now used to dressing up in Layers. Even as the weather improves, the Prints and Patterns in FAUX FUR with its racy stripes, rosetets and combos, never go out of style. After all, Cheetahs, Jaguars and Oscelots wear these furs years round and they've been on the planet for (at least) 25 million years, eco-wise. FAUX FUR does magically set the Mood and Tone of looking dressed up while feeling 'at ease' in any room or in any given situation -- whether it's the boardroom or the bedroom.
And with that in mind, although Spring is just a month away, today to celebrate FAUX FUR FRIDAY, on my Drawing Board at STUDIO 1437 is my latest Garment Design...the combination of Spring Eyelet with Leopard Print. Within each Animal Rosette (the Spot or Dot of The Leopard) I have created an EYELET -- with carefully placed black lace stitching. It's asymmetrical, of course, and gives the Illusion of a fancy Shirt-Dress that can be worn 'as is' or with a ruby red body suit underneath -- for more of a Streamlined Apearance. Is it pretty enough to wear to the FAUX FURBALL on December 25TH...
It certainly is...and will make a Fashion Statement year round, no matter what the 'Holes' in the Economy say.

Coraline on Valentine's Day Weekend: The Best in 3D Footage.
Chicago, IL USA:
Coraline definitely was a great Valentine's Day Present - having just seen the FLICK on Sunday, February 15TH.
CUTTING TO THE CHASE: My Date and I were most impressed with:
the 3-D Footage;
the detail on the character's faces;
the cat's voice;
the colors of the haunted mansion; and
the juxtapositions of the 2 different Realms.
At one point, the Storyline about appreciating your Parents for their Basic Good tugged at my heart, but CORALINE was more of an Action Adventure and a thrill to see how grotesquely decaying the 'Other Mother' had become.
Usually 'young gal characters' as Coraline have STARS in their eyes, there was no overt symbolism why buttons were used for Eyes, but that's OK: That's how the story was written.
Surprisingly, that night or since, I did not have any Nightmares over any of the Plots, perhaps because it was Animation and not 'real' People. All in all, CORALINE, undoubtedly, will go down in Film History as a top 3-D Movie, breath-taking as it was.
I didn't particularly identify with any of the Characters (as I had with Toto in The Wizard of Oz and the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Blunderland), but I enjoyed (on this Sunday Afternoon) the 3-D Effect - only showing that TEAMWORK & TALENT works each and every time.
The Poster in the lobby of the Cinema was confusing as We thought the Film was directed by TIM BURTON...since it said from the Director of NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS(1993) and it did appear as his tell-tale Characters.
MY UNWARRANTED PREDICTION: By late October of 2009 in time for Halloween, I'm sure the next BUNCH OF BABIES BORN will be named 'Coraline.'
I definitely am recommending Coraline to my Friends and intend to read the book to see how Movie & Book relate.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS: One (fans of the film who are not that techno-savvy) only wonder how they can buy the DVD if their Players at home are not 3-D rigged.

A few Words about Valentine's Day, 2009.
Chicago, IL USA:
It's not how many red roses you receive today,
how much the expensive Dinner out was,
how big the heart-shaped box of candy was,
it's the time spent with your Loved One that counts the most.
So was the Theme of NBC local Chicago News, Channel 5 this morning when I got up and flicked on TheTube. It was nice to realize this, that in Times when Commerciality has taken over the Airwaves, the True Essence of Holidays (that are oft times used to kickstart an ailing Economy), it's the Core and Essence of the Event that truly matters the most.
Love and not LOVE of Money is what matters.
Truer Words were never said, whether you're a Romantic, Hopeless Romantic or none of the above.

Koopersmith's Intl Skeptics' Days ©96 collides with FAUX FUR FRIDAYS.
Chicago, IL USA: Again, I noticed on the Calendar that it's another FAUX FUR FRIDAY - the 7TH of the Year along with one of my older HOLIDATES, a floating Holidate, at that called:
International Skeptics' Days ©1996.
ISD doesn't happen often -- or often enough -- especially so in the Economy we are now living in where Unemployment centers are aflow with folks who have recently lost their jobs. They definitely have a right to be skeptical - after all, most of them will not be finding work any time too soon.
International Skeptics' Days ©1996 is slated for the Day an Election falls upon, for the explicit reason that most of us are skeptical of who is running and what they plan to pull and on Friday the 13TH...which happens no more than 4 times a year...it varies and that makes it equally as attractive. A time for hi-jinks and pranks, there's always a Shroud of Mystery around Friday the 13TH, a great time to be skeptical if you aren't already.
As for FAUX FUR FRIDAYS, and the Blend it takes from ISD, the ongoing dilemma is that many people are skeptical as to IF they are really wearing Faux Fur or not. Some cannot decipher if the Material they are wearing is real pelts or the preferred Faux Fur that saves Wildlife and makes its wearer look just as attractive, while saving the Environment from experiencing more Cases of Extinction.
The Two HOLIDATES blend together in an interesting manner. And, for the Thread that flows through them, it makes for more Faux Fur Food For Fodder.
