New Design! Woohoo! (About Freakin’ Time…)

Here’s what the old site looked like (in case you forgot…or never saw it).

I can hardly read the masthead with all that stuff going on.  And why are the O’s and D’s filled in?  Beats me.

My new masthead was illustrated by my friend Emily, an amazingly talented, kick ass, ball busting creative director in advertising.  She’s my hero.  My amazing friend Jared (he doesn’t have a website…where’s your website, Jared?) moved me out of the dark ages of Moveable Type’s craptastic CMS ($500 for an upgrade?!) and into the era of enlightenment. (Did you know you can upload photos without resizing them and coding HTML…? Amazing!).  Wordpress kicks ass.

Also, I’m not Stella anymore.  Or, rather, this is no longer her blog.  I’m going to be 40. Seriously. Enough’s enough.  I had this whole thing about how I killed Stella and stole her website, but that seemed kind of mean.  She’s really sweet.  Even if she’s my desperately co-dependent alter-ego (instead of hyper-consciously codependent, like me), she deserves a peaceful passing.  Now I’m writing as Solange.  But it’s still “just for today.”  That’ll never change.

Just for today, I love my new design and am grateful for my amazing friends.
