….not so sure about this bikini bikewash business, but if you are into it, then go for it.
Interesting…
I am not exactly sure what one would expect from this, but it is looks pretty cracked out:
playin’ at the Soap Factory now…apparently it involves communal living and fashion.
(also, in case it doesn’t show up, this photo was entitled “Crystal Meditation”)
Bitch Mag talks Kathleen Hanna
Here is a nice little ditty on the ever cool Kathleen Hanna (who always makes me want to rock).
Precious!

Saw an article about these ladies in BUST…their clothing is eco-friendly AND their blog is cute as a button!
What do YOU want/need?
Talking with friends (the ladies of the original C.L.A.P.), everyone agreed that it is very important to shape the organization through the input of those who are part of it. That said, what is it that YOU want or need to be creative, powerful, and supported in doing what you want to do? Anything goes—brainstorm! C.L.A.P. is meant to be inclusive, not exclusive, so ideally it will be able to serve many different needs for different people. BUT we will never know what you want it to be unless you share!
Some ideas so far include:
an online forum
classes taught by each other to learn skills
workshops to make projects (such as headbands, dressforms, etc. etc.)
meetings in community spaces
volunteer projects
a library of resources
events sponsored by C.L.A.P.
…what else can you think of?
DIY Wedding Prep—Headbands
The future Ms. Jake Luck was kind enough to share some of her wedding prep photos with C.L.A.P. Though the headbands are for her wedding this summer, they can be made for any event (or day)—all you need is ribbon, feathers, elastic, and glue guns (and of course snacks, you should always have snacks). 
MIA’s Foot in the Door
Tomorrow is the opening reception for the fourth Foot in the Door exhibit at the MIA. Any Minnesotan artist willing to stand in line for an hour or two wielding a piece of art that fits within a cubic foot will have their artwork displayed at this crazy exhibit.
For more info on the exhibit, click here.
I’ll be skiing but will have art work there (which I will check out some other time). Lisa Yednorowicz of Old Cake Paintings will have a piece, as well as the guy that stood in line with me and talked about the negative aspects of digital culture and how much he loves Damien Hirst . And many others as well (last I heard, 43,000 pieces were submitted).
Things to do!
Because winter is getting old…
Maybe it is time to start some events…any suggestions for craft nights or volunteer projects?
