Northeast Minneapolis'  artist and entrepreneur (and Minnesota Rollergirl) Rebecca Yaker "Sock Monkey" dress from the Walker Center's "Un-Prom: Not Your Mama's Formal,"  a prom inspired fashion show presented by Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council (WACTAC) and Anna Lee of Ruby3, producer of Voltage: Fashion Amplified. As a part of the Walker's OPEN-ENDED (the art of engagement) exhibition, WACTAC is taking prom by the heels and turning it on its tiara.

The Un-Prom will cut loose from the stuffy "suit and tie, cupcake dress" formal wear by asking seven Minneapolis designers to create garments that step out of the standard garb and envision prom as extension of the arts.

sometimes you find inspiring websites & blogs and you want to share these treasures with everyone. this happens to me often, i love stumbling upon beautiful sites, oohing and aahing, it's like walking into a dream.  it's so inspiring to see the vast amount of creativity taking place in the world. this is the first of what i call, "little morsels of magic," a creative version of paying it forward.  isn't this photo beautiful- so sweet and yummy- you must visit Le Jardin de Miss Clara. she creates the most beautiful ethereal treasures.  visiting her website is like entering a fairytale- the music, the graphics, her creations- everything transports you into another world.  take a few moments from your everyday life and visit Miss Clara.  because we all need a little magic in our lives.
