interlude: "century girl"

One of my favorite books is "Century Girl: 100 Years in the Life of Doris Eaton Travis/Last Living Star of the Ziegfeld Follies."

Author Lauren Redniss is a Pulitzer prize winning writer and has created one of the most creative chronicles of a person's life by combining cut-out photographs and animated illustrations.

mika New York bride-to-be Mika Mooney asked designsgirl to provide the calligraphy for her Bella Figura wedding invitation envelopes. "Maura" calligraphy with capital letters was used with a dark gray gouache to match the letterpress ink. Mika and her fiance Mike are college sweethearts and will marry on the beach in The Hamptons. The night before the wedding, they will host a fabulous beach bonfire with family and friends.
