HEADLINES ON January 25, 1990

Full News Archive

  • Headline: Affordable Art Access in Los Angeles. Impact: If those two women hadn’t found affordable art, we might all still be decorating our walls with inspirational cat posters and motivational quotes. Just imagine a world where Picasso was replaced by 'Hang in There' kittens!. Fact: Art prices skyrocketing is the perfect excuse for your empty walls. Just tell everyone you’re waiting for the right piece… or a cat to paint it for you..
  • Headline: Worms That Turn Wood to Dust. Impact: The woodworm epidemic may have inadvertently led to the first minimalist movement. Who needs furniture when you can just sit on the floor and contemplate your life choices instead?. Fact: Woodworms are nature's way of telling us that perhaps our antique furniture isn't as precious as we thought. Just think of them as tiny, destructive interior decorators..
  • Headline: Whitchurch Silk Mill's Historic Crafting. Impact: The silk industry’s legacy has potentially led to the very fabric of modern fashion. If only all those judges knew their robes would inspire the next 'pajama chic' trend, maybe they would’ve gone for sweatpants instead!. Fact: The phrase 'to take silk' sounds fancy, but it really just means you’re leveling up in the legal world. The real question is, does that come with a complimentary robe?.
