“Between food and fashion, there's always a direct correlations - designers have forever done prints with food on them. Vegetables, fruit, apples. There are some beautiful prints that have been made with fruit over time. I think food and restaurants have become more and more fashionable over time. That's become more of a fashion thing than fashion becoming a food thing. I don't think fashion has gotten so food oriented in the reverse aspect, but I think the whole food industry has gotten very design oriented. I think it's a nice way of putting things together.” ThinkingDoneTogetherBeautifulForeverNiceFashionDesignDirectDesignerPrintFashionable Author:Nicole Miller

“You can write about a country without taking a stand, but you cannot write about a country without noting that there's history, and that there's politics going on.

“When you hear the ex-politician tell you that the reason they created the War on Drugs was to get black people and to get hippies...that to me is just as shitty as saying all Mexicans are murderers and rapists.

When my daughter gave me a vape pen, I realized that I could relegate it to where I needed it to be. And I would talk to my older grandkids in their 20s, and they'd say they use weed to stop cramps.

And they gave me that horrifying answer: "niche market".” ReasonCrazyDaughterI RealizedSmokingMy DaughterPensWeedMarijuanaNicheHeadacheGrandkids Author:Whoopi Goldberg

To go through a big experience can have such a profound impact on everything that you do.
