Coffee Geeks and Pop Art ... mmmm coffee

Something I haven't thought about in a long time is the concept of edible art. The phenomenon doesn't seem to have as much emphasis and exposure in current popular culture as it has in the past.
Recently I stumbled on a new variation of edible art. Latte art takes the concept of edible art to a whole new level. Some of the creations are simply brilliant.



How do they do that??

As I continued reading and surfing, I discovered that true latte art is "pourable art" ... and that "etching" is a variation of latte art. And then there are the "latte art technicians" and the helpful "milk frothing guides." Maybe I've barely tapped (etched?) the surface of this art form.
Who knew?

I love Barbie.

I can't help myself, I just love Barbie. No way can this be explained, it's too complex. Or too simple? I don't know. The dolls are just so beautiful, how can you not love them? Maybe it's not the dolls. It's just the clothing - the gowns, and the SHOES!


Naturally I started surfing and lo and behold, there are Barbies for adults (read: serious collectors). You can really sink some serious cash into this habit.
So far I've limited myself to collecting images. Take a look. You can even make your own album! (I haven't decided if this is a good or bad thing.)
