Save the Statler

0209statlerhiltonTomorrow is your night to hang out with the architectural preservation gurus and find out why the old Statler Hilton Hotel is 11th on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s “Most Endagered Landmarks” list and why it is worth saving.  Our love affair with all things mid century modern should at the very least get people to sit up and notice.  It was an icon of 1950s architecture and style, and really quite innovative for the time – considered the first “modern hotel”.  The talk is Tuesday at 6:30 at Dallas Center for Architecture, 1909 Woodall Rodgers #100, and the speaker is Marcel Quimby.  Great pics of style and glamour from the 50s.

Plano’s Imagique Hair and Spa Pampers, Primps and Pleases

imagiqueCaring, attentive management = happy employees = happier clients.

Renters can then (more…)

Our trusty videographer, Kyle Kearbey, went to f.i.g. this past weekend to interview a few of the participating artists in our first-ever D Art Slam. More than 2,000 people browsed works from 150 Dallas artists, who were there, dutifully manning their stations and teaching the enthusiasts about their art. The displays were truly magnificent, making every artist look like a star.

Michelle goes Burmese at the Dallas Contemporary

michelleThe grand unfinished empty space that is soon to be the home of Dallas Contemporary was transformed Thursday night with silk hangings, huge pots with bamboo poles, and flowers thanks to the magic of Michelle Nussbaumer.  She’s looking pretty sly and spunky in this photo – maybe it was the magic drinks that Wendy Krispin was concocting.  Just as is with cinder block walls, it looked great and was the perfect background for the photography of Jonathan Dedman Dietz – but, without ac, exhibitions this summer will be pretty stifling.  So, we just need a couple of million more to finish this project.  Deep pockets, anyone?
