$500 for a home in Detroit
Why Don’t We Own This? is a brilliantly build site that lets you explore Detroit and the homes for sale. You can buy a home for $500 in Detroit right now. Properties that are being assessed at $5k, $10k are all being sold for $500. The logic is that the more vacant properties you fill, the more tax dollars the city will make.
It’ll be fun watching the urban revitalization in Detroit...

conversation with a stranger
I asked the guy standing next to me in the street about the fire. In a bouncy Jamaican accent he asks “don’t you want to be a firelady?” A smile peeks out at me between a mustache and a beard.
“I haven’t got the courage.”
“They’ve got bad-looking girls like you flying F-16s… don’t you want to know what space looks like?”
I allow...

I love this piece of storytelling through dance. Napoleon Buddy D’umo and Tabitha A. D’umo, choreographers for TV’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ have captured the story of lovers split by war across two pieces. In the 4th season, the team (also known as NappyTabs) choreographed a piece in which the couple dancing learns that the man is heading to war. And in the 8th...

killer combo: advertising + detective work
The FBI used a clever ad strategy to discover a famous mobsters whereabouts.
Recognizing that the mobster’s girlfriend was a salon fiend, the FBI placed PSAs directed at women on daytime/soap TV. Their hunch that someone might recognize her from their last blow out at the beauty parlor was spot on.
My childhood dream of being a detective, meets my adult reality of working in advertising.

online dating idea
Had an idea for an online dating site - you create a mix tape to serve as your profile. We have niche dating sites, why not connect through music? Anyone know if this already exists?
I was inspired by the “Rapperina Mix,” a mix created for a ballerina who didn’t appreciate rap by a guy she’d gone on one date with. I once went on a date with a guy from OkCupid because we...

short story
There’s a short story that’s been rambling around my head for the past month. I can’t get it out though because I want it to be perfect. But my desire for perfect is leaving paralyzed. I want the story to feel like a slap in the face, yet the reader is left laughing.
In other news… I finally fulfilled my goal of getting to California. My feet finally touched the Pacific...

2manystripes asked: Hey, it's Meghan :) I love your little dress challenge and I'll be following it closely. We seem to have the opposite problem: I don't have enough spring/summer dresses and last week I "made a vow" to wear more dresses (or really, less jeans). Looking forward to being inspired by your dresses!
katiefitz asked: That's funny...do you really like wearing dresses?
