A couple of years ago I started learning internet marketing, in order to open a Cafepress shop. From what I had learned, it was obvious to me that pushing my products is a dumb strategic move. Blogging seemed like an interesting alternative for building a loyal customer base. So, I started a "practice blog" about internet marketing, The Marketer Review. Soon enough I had fallen in love with blogging.

My passion is ...

Everything art, culture and education.

I know too much about ...

female idiosyncrasies.

My parents always told me ...

If you don't taste it, how will you know it's good?

My childhood ambition ...

To be a ballerina and a famous painter and that girl from Mission Impossible.

My favorite memory ...

I keep it in a special rose colored box and it's between me and I.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My best moment ...

In front of the mirror in the morning.

My inspiration ...

Kim Kiyosaky, Noam Chomski, Nancy Botwin, and my beloved spouse.

MAKING ART AN ESSENTIAL PART OF LIFE
Ever since I was an art student, I had a burning question in the back of my mind: What does all this have to do with the real world?

There's something so useless about studying art and culture. Sure, now I can explain a post-expressionist piece to vacant eyes and a disinterested mind, but what's the point?
