eulogy: casualty of the economy's domino effect

dear domino,

may you rest in peace. you have fought the good race and delivered quality magazine editorial to discerning design aficionados for the past few years. you were the alternative solution to the plethora of irrelevant, stuffy and over-the-top interior design magazines saturating the market. domino, you kept me happy every month with coverage of quirky objects, furniture and accessories for the home. and i swear you were the first one to include those magazine tabbing stickers for readers to mark up their issues with [even though they were too sticky .. they would tear the pages or smear off ink]. at the end, you got too fashiony and it seemed like you were trying too hard to appeal to the young, cool hipster set in some ways .. but i still loved you.

domino, i will miss you being delivered to my mailbox every month. perhaps you will come back reincarnated as another glossy, fun-spirited and irreverent approach to decorating in the form of a monthly magazine some day .. long after the apocalyptic conditions of today's economic downturn have all been obliterated from our midst.

here then is a look back at one of my favorite memories with you .. a cover and feature story on the cool modern cozy home of shoe designer jessie randall [of loeffler randall].

farewell.
