Coveted Crib: Roberto Burle Marx's Tropical Home Turf
Born in 1909, Brazilian landscape architect and painter Roberto Burle Marx created fascinatingly gorgeous works of art out of plants, many of which were native to Brazil. This landscape architect, whose work is currently being honored through an exhibition at the Paço Imperial Museum in Rio de Janeiro, brought a sense of modernism and high art to landscaping. Many of Marx's artistic ideals are reflected in his home, Santo Antonio da Bica sítio.
For Female Chefs, the Kitchen Still Feels Like a Man's World
With female personalities like Padma Lakshmi, Giada De Laurentiis, and Cat Cora in the media spotlight, one would think that sexism in the kitchen is a non-issue. However, a provocative article in Time Out magazine argues that even if sex discrimination isn't overt, it's still prevalent. While "Mad Men-style ass-pinching" is no longer de rigueur, Rebecca Flint Marx points out that sex discrimination is clear when you notice (or don't) the amount of recognition that women chefs receive in comparison to their male counterparts.
Happy Caturday!
Although it looks like someone drew in Groucho Marx eyebrows on this kitty, I think those brows are real! Maybe a little fur dye or kitten electrolysis will help this cat so that he doesn't have to go through life looking so quizzical. Or maybe it doesn't matter — it looks like someone is in love with him just the way he is!

Exclusive Interview: Rainn Wilson Talks The Rocker
A few months ago I was lucky enough to meet up with the very lovely and funny Rainn Wilson for a Q+A session about his new movie The Rocker (out today in the UK). In the movie he stars as Robert "Fish" Fishman, a talented drummer in a hair metal band that gets kicked out by his bandmates before they go on to rock glory. He then gets a second chance at success when his nephew's rock band are looking for a new drummer, and here's what he had to say when we spoke earlier this year:
- So, Rainn, how good are you at drumming really?
