What’s with the Buzz?
I tuned into my morning favorite – WGN news to get a little forecast from my guy Paul Konrad, only to find I was more facinated with his new hair-do.
I wanted to find myself intrigued with the storms, patches of fog and where the highs and lows would fall throughout the day, but no, I couldn’t stop wondering what his buzz was about.

Yours: What can I expect from Art Chicago & NEXT?
Theirs: Art Chicago® 2010, the annual international fair of contemporary and modern art, brings together the world’s leading emerging and established galleries. Art Chicago offers curators, collectors, artists and art enthusiasts a comprehensive survey of current and historic work, from cutting-edge to modern masters in a wide variety of media including: painting, photography, drawings, prints, sculpture, video and special installations.
Mine: I love finding new talent and catching up with old friends. After frequenting the show for a few years and staying in touch with different galleries and artists, you will soon find the event to be a homecoming with wonderful surprises.
I am particularly looking forward to New Insight Art Chicago floor An exhibition of top MFA students from some of the country's most influential graduate art programs, New Insight is curated by Susanne Ghez, director of the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago. A platform for new talent and innovative ideas, New Insight provides the opportunity to view work by some of the brightest young minds working in diverse graduate programs across the country.

I got the online issue yesterday and have been pretty much speechless all day. My friends at CS have gone above and beyond with helping me and my business.

Do the carpet and drapes have to match?
Me: Not necessarily. I am working on a project that incorporates sun scrims of cutting edge “green” materials with oriental rugs. The uniqueness of the two materials is what set the project apart from a typical room. That’s not to say they don’t work together, on the contrary, they compliment each other. They both have moments of similarities, some tones and colors as well as they each have a distinctive texture that plays off one another.
Theirs: betty™ products are specially formulated color dyes for the hair down there. In less than one year, over 100,000 happy customers are using betty to naturally match their hair above, cover gray or just for fun! Whether you're a blonde (be a true blonde now!), radiant auburn, rich brunette, raven black or want to try hot pink for fun, our easy to use no-drip formula gives you the perfect finishing touch.
