I pissed off my group by saying the talk we just went to about #MaryBlair was not as well researched as I had hoped. They asked but apparently they were looking for a stock response that I just don’t have instead of an honest assessment. Managing neuraltypical expectations can be frustrating and some days I don’t even want to try.

So I didn’t realize this talk isn’t about mid-century design in general, it’s about #MaryBlair. Even better 😊

This concept artwork created by Mary Blair for Walt Disney's Cinderella depicts the Fairy Godmother transforming a pumpkin into a magnificent coach. The Fairy Godmother's gifts allow Cinderella to go to the Ball, but they only last until midnight. #FairyTaleTuesday

Karlheinz Stockhausen about to get into a tiny boat to hear a delightful song about world peace! Not real but perhaps he did ride this ride at some point. Mary Blair’s finest work with one of Germany’s finest avant garde composers! If you are unaware of the art of Mary Blair explore her lovely art! This pic was lifted via the NoWave Facebook group and I’m not certain who created it.
