What do you want to be when you grow up?
Posted by Julie
I sewed my own “Beanie Babies” as a child. That’s right, I sewed ‘em up and stuffed ‘em with rice. I think that was the first hint that I might become a soft goods designer… or one of Santa’s elves.
When these plastic pellet- filled plush toys became a craze, I was just the right age to want them. But I was also just the right age to be required to use my own money to buy them. And when deciding what to spend my precious birthday money on, N SYNC discs were more of a priority to me than Beanies, so I never accumulated too many of the little critters.

I wasn’t to be trusted using my mother’s sewing machine yet , so I completely hand-stitched my first couple of Beanies. I even made my own little heart-shaped tags for them with made up names, just like the real deal. I’ve always been obsessed with every little detail–perhaps another hint of what was to come in my adult life. (more…)

The results of our recent survey on airline security are in, and this is what you had to say:
33% of you think that TSA needs to start looking at people more than “things”.
25% say that the hype and fear are worse than the reality.
18% had other comments (see complete post for comments)
17% feel it’s hopeless and pathetic, we just have to accept that traveling is going to be riskier forever
7% believe they are doing the best they can with what they have available.
