I loved this show so much I hope we don't get a second season. I believe they *could* capture lightning twice, but what we have so far was SO GOOD.

Went to private art school in California.
1. Experimentation and failure are crucial parts of the process. Learn to give and take constructive criticism without it being a personal attack. Network, but don't rush up the ladder at the cost of personal relationships.

I told her my great great great grandfather worked that land. It took a moment, but watching it click was beautiful. Sure, I lied to her, but I felt she should have to sit with at least some discomfort.

A woman once tried to convince me of the "rich and beautiful" history of a particular plantation she had visited during a wedding. She was not amused at my vocal disgust.
