a note to email subscribers...

Recently I noticed that I wasn't getting email subscriptions for 3 of my blogs...I was only getting emails for 'style cravings' even though I was subscribed to all 4 blogs. Since I have 4 blogs under 1 Typepad account, I think that something got messed up with my Feedburner feed...however, it is now taken care of. So there should be a separate email for each blog. Email subscribers should only be getting an email for the blog that he or she subscribed to...multiple blog subscriptions = multiple emails. Let me know if the problem still exists. Sorry for the inconvenience. xx

graffiti art

...click to enlarge...

...

Kenny found some cool graffiti pics. Some of them remind me of an article that I read recently about a British artist who revels in anonymity and pops up occasionally (sometimes donning a wig + glasses) to spray provocative art all over the city (can't remember if it was London...I assume so).
