photography by so does estellaSo, as you may know, I didn't blog at all last week. And now, I'm feeling like a guilty parent who missed their child's dance recital. Shucks guys! My apologies. The other part of my life called. The season of the show I work for began last Monday and my schedule is a bit hectic. Thanks for hanging in there with me!) Now on to the good stuff.
The story in pictures

Why I love her
She rocks big curly hair like nobody's business.
She's brilliantly creative, confident and going places - my kind of girl.
So the story goes...

Years Acquainted: Less than one but we're still young so we have dozens of years ahead to be friends.
Parked In: Fort Greene, Brooklyn
Her Next Move: Brooklyn Public House around the corner.

Conversation on being a creative with creative siblings
Sana: What was it like growing up with all creative siblings? I'm a little envious... (Her sister Tara is a Creative Director and brother Donny, a Sideshow Performer with his own variety of beer.)
Kathleen: It just turned out that way. We grew up in Norman, OK. As kids we'd watch musicals and movies together like Pink Floyd The Wall...
Sana: Oh, so there was time for your imaginations to run wild.
Kathleen: Yes.
[Brother interjects] Donny: One Summer we watched Dazed & Confused almost everyday.
Sana: [Laughs] Could there be better movie choices?!

What a cool interview! Talk about one talented and creative family! :) I love how you format these interviews too - so interesting!
You are just so cool, Sana - your web life and your "other life" are both so fabulous! :)
@Lillian you are so sweet. today was a long day and you've made me smile! isn't Kathleen amazing?!
Love Kathleen's style and her blog. Thanks for the introduction!
@jack She's so original! (and super cute)
hell yeah EW! so glad you like her too. i first wrote about her as one of my early posts and finally bought her earrings. they're so ridiculous, how could i not! if i saw the necklace i'd have scooped it up too!
just scanned your blog quickly- it's adorable. i'll be back to check out allll the music too :) thanks for you comment. please visit again! about to become your next follower!
Love the little conversation. I remember the first moment I saw Kathleen at Alt -- I was like "that girl has some seriously awesome style." And the fact that she's so wonderful is like the cherry on top.
Kathleen is a serious rock star. I've had discussions with a client who insisted I simply copy her work and I had to explain to them copyright issues and design plagiarism, but of course I understood why the client was so easily inspired, she's a creative genius! Love this convo/interview with her.
Now I'm slightly confused. Does Kathleen live in Oklahoma, but happened to be visiting Brooklyn? Also, I'm going to New York this July, what are the weeee little chances of catching coffee or lunch with you? Sorry, just dreaming out loud =)
I love your interviews! I bet there was never a dull moment growing up in her house! Heading over to her blog right now :) I'm intrigued!
I'm blushing y'all!
Sana, I can't wait to see you again. Really, come visit me soon!
