I can say that it was amazing! Perhaps, it help bring a little bit of closure too, I mean it was an incredible tribute. I loved being able to see that despite the craziness that surrounded Michael Jackson in his last years, he never stopped being the INCREDIBLE performer. Even Mark, who has never been a MJ fan; loved seeing the behind-the-scenes angle and how in control of every detail MJ was. True genius! If you are as much of a fan as I am, I recommend seeing this. It was great to be in a theater full of other fans, too! People would clap and cheer after every song, wave their hands in the air during the ballads, and gave a standing ovation at the end of the film. It was great:)</span></div>

In it he describes the arduous but heartfelt process of renovating an amazing Italinate villa. For all die-hard design lovers, this is a book that must be seen! </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.saladinostyle.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Saladino</span></a> holds a very special place in my heart. He was the first designer I knew by name as a teenager, and his work awakened my true love of design. The photo above in particular stands out in my mind. Its been published many times over, I know; but its so timeless and beautiful. The color palette, mixture of textures, and use of antiques in an otherwise minimalist space influence the way I think about design almost every day. Ahhh, I could go on and on; but maybe the photos speak for themselves;)</span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJCqaLazI/AAAAAAAAFhU/2BYTp8ovSpw/s1600-h/Picture+63.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398066675961260850" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJCqaLazI/AAAAAAAAFhU/2BYTp8ovSpw/s800/Picture+63.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 624px; height: 419px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJCAFK2oI/AAAAAAAAFhM/P8ql-Mxzp6o/s1600-h/Picture+61.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398066664598854274" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJCAFK2oI/AAAAAAAAFhM/P8ql-Mxzp6o/s800/Picture+61.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 592px; height: 701px;" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Via 1st Dibs</span></a><br /></span></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJBiUxt7I/AAAAAAAAFhE/qi5ntq3kmLU/s1600-h/Picture+67.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398066656611252146" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJBiUxt7I/AAAAAAAAFhE/qi5ntq3kmLU/s800/Picture+67.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 589px; height: 449px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJBByOWkI/AAAAAAAAFg0/XAHWZD4RVoY/s1600-h/Picture+66.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398066647876393538" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SunJBByOWkI/AAAAAAAAFg0/XAHWZD4RVoY/s800/Picture+66.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 613px; height: 491px;" /></a><br /></div>
