"There was a huge opportunity for Kate Spade to make this better, and now I feel insulted. You think pushing $300 and a bullshit styling appointment in my direction and hoping this will go away, and hey….I GET that. But NO. NO. That’s not enough. I do not want a gift card that will not even cover one of your questionably made handbags, from a brand that made me feel like a lesser person. They could have lied to me and told me they were going to start a diversity training program for employees. Anything to show me that they really get it. But they don’t and that it what sucks."

Awesomeness Abounds: On Kate Spade: An update

“Sorry we were racist and treated you like a second class citizen. But here’s $300!”

Nope, sorry Kate Spade. You’ve lost a lot of customers over this, and I’m one of them.

This happened here in Atlanta. Take note.

"Keep going everyone, and bless the haters as you climb over them."

Best quote. I interviewed Atlanta artist Ashley Anderson over at CommonCreativ and boy, was he awesome. Go see for yourself.

The old Kodak lab on Ponce and Argonne is one of my favorite old buildings in Atlanta and for the first time last night I was stopped in just the right spot at the corresponding red light to take a photo. (I suppose there’s a certain amount of irony, or something, in posting the shot to Instagram.) As of last year the whole building, including the neighboring Atlanta Eagle, was for sale, but I don’t know what came of it. I live in fear of coming upon the building one day and seeing the storefront being painted over, the sign being dismantled, the block being readied for one of those parking garages Atlanta developers seem to love so well.

One of my favorite buildings as well. Makes me smile every time.

"

Atlanta, being such a new and developing city, seems to attract those who want to really make a mark in the world while repelling those who favor latching on to something that has already been established.

Right now, anything is possible in Atlanta; it’s the city of wide-eyed dreamers. One comes to Atlanta to create. If you’re in this city to be spoon fed, then you’re probably in the wrong place.

"You don’t move to New York because you can help shape it; you go there hoping it will help shape you. In Atlanta it’s different. In Atlanta, we are creating the city in which we want to live."

- New CL Atlanta editor Debbie Michaud on her love affair with Atlanta.

Sometimes I love this city. Sometimes I hate it with my entire being (more often than not). But it’s home. And I want to see it live up to its full potential.

You know what’s really awesome? When you start a project with your writer friend and you have no idea what you are doing. And then you see it get bigger over a few months. And then you have new opportunities.

3 months after we relaunched CommonCreativ, we have our first giveaway. Call me whatever, but I’m damn proud of Caroline and I. I love that this is a side project but every tiny success is still a giant one. We are definitely appreciating any love that comes our way.

Just wanted to jump up and down for a minute there.

[oh and if you are in Georgia, click here so you can enter the giveaway until Tuesday! It’s for that awesome beer stamp above.]
