Airbrushed: The Debate About Photoshop

On this morning's episode of the Today Show, this story aired: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/43924776#43924776

In this day and age, airbrushing and photoshopping run absolutely rampant in the world of commercial marketing. Even tabloids often edit photos to create a more flattering image of the celebrities they feed off of. What do you think? Is airbrushing a misrepresentation of person or is it merely a tweak here and a correction there? Let us know in the comments!

And the real kicker...

And you can do that ALL with Photoshop

I took a day off from Kim Designs today....

...it was so worth it...i met the most attentive and distinguished man...

Kind of Fun - I found this site where you can "drag and draw" a Picasso:

Hot for Summer: Gold

This summer, gold is EVERYWHERE. It's been huge in makeup trends, and it's been big in the world of fashion as well. And who can blame them? What reminds you of warm summer sun and sparkling sand better than the color gold? From yellow-gold to bright metallics, this color is great for summer. Here's some photos I found online of all the different places gold has been popping up this summer. Enjoy!

Beautiful gold and seafoam green gem earrings.

Two incredible gold looks by Sephora

Check it out - a bathing suit and caftan woven out of pure gold strands!

Oh my kids love my work too!

Oh my kids love my work too!

I ordered six of the towels that Marlene had designed for Crate and Barrel.
They came today...and my 7 year old daughter thought they were cool.
She asked me if she could have one - I said yes, but wasn't sure why...

Here is why:  - our dog Rosie - sporting a Crate and Barrel towel as a cape:

Marlene - I am sorry - not what you had imagined for these designs...

I think this everyday...from The Washington Post.

My passion is selling patterns - really and truly.  I feel Kim Designs has the best "product" in the world to sell - so I LOVE this work....kim
