silk & polyester-blend present....*CHAIRacters*

silk and poly-b would like to welcome you all to our joint project we would like to call.... CHAIRacters.

Most days - " we" silk and poly-b can be found talking about the ins and outs of everything and anything around us. Our topics can range from culture, society at large, the GAP store displays, next seasons shoe and fashion lines, the latest design magazine spread, a font type we really like, or even the contents of our mystery lunch boxes - (poly-b's is a wasabi green color and silk's is a doubtful looking blue box that passes for a small cooler).

So it was not a surprise when we stumbled upon a topic of conversation that has swept forum chatter and break-room rendezvous' all over. We found ourselves heavily discussing the ins and outs of the hit show... gossip girl.

Perhaps - we may have stumbled upon a topic that cannot possibly interest all you divas - but with this subject at hand - we would like to prove that there is good design... if not great design within a show whose characters (all ridiculously good-looking) lives are followed and reported on in a Page Six kind of manner. 

In between bites of hummus and pita bread - we (silk and poly-b )debated about the characters - their plot lines - their choices - and the outcome of their choices. Call us unnaturally obsessed but one cannot fault not raising an eyebrow to the sheer genius of a show that has not only revived the preppy/chic look (brought back the headband didn't it?) but continuously influences the masses of people that watch it. (mostly - according to demographics - under 25-ish). 

we were exhausted in trying to find the right words to express our views on the character's developments. And then it clicked.... we remembered that we are visual people. What we cannot express in words - we seek other means to express it. we doodle... we sketch... we draw... we look for inspiration... we look for anything that helps make our point clearer.  

so what solution did we come to? how could we sum up a character's strengths, weaknesses, attributes and flaws all in one.... we assigned it a CHAIR!

a chair you say? i hear skeptics... but allow us to enlighten you on this matter. we have placed much thought, research and some hope that this series - will be to your liking.. if not to your amusement.... 

are you game? 

if you are - we (ahem... silk and polyester-blend) invite you to our first posting on the series we have nicknamed....
