Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss

I love, love, love Dr. Seuss!

In honor of Ted Geisel's birthday, my friend Shelly Goldstein pays homage with a story she's written about gay marriage. She's wicked clever and one of the most talented people I know.

At the end of the day Dr. Seuss is about love for all, all the time, and I think he would have enjoyed Shelly's story (remember the Sneetches? Dr. Seuss very eloquently illustrated the downside of exclusionary politics).

Happy Birthday Dr. S!

Susie and Allison are all about the things that make you go Mmmmmmm...

Sharing is caring...write to us.

We do it in 140 characters or less. We also do that thing with our face.

Susie lives in Los Angeles. She likes to relax and have fun...always has, always will. When she was a little girl and her mother asked her what it was she loved to do, that thing she would do even if no one paid her, she replied, "Laugh with my friends, lay in bed, listen to music, read and eat really good food". She still loves to do all those things and still does not get paid to do them.... but she's an eternal optimist and she's not dead yet. It could happen.

Allison lives in a treehouse in New York City. She likes forensics, flea markets, costumes, lip gloss, writing, antiques, eating while reading in bed, clouds viewed from above, photography, the flavors of rose and cardamom, texting, doors, laughing til her face hurts, tea, truth tellers, wedding shows, farm markets, fireplaces, snacks, jury duty, olives, cowboy boots, pin-up girls, animals, vintage dresses, an economy of words and hanging out in her underwear.
