I live in Chocolate City, Work for NPR, am currently working on an MA in Interior Design, Love my roommate, friends and Kitteh, "Bits." Day to day I find more and more beauty lurking in the oddest spots. Rouge My Knees is an accumulation of notes on what I find whets my curiosity for all things toxic and pretty.
I love sharing my view of the world through the photos and links posted here. 
Filed under: My Interior Design School FUN
In my Principles and Theory course, my professor proposed the question:
How useful is the Internet as a tool to formulate (my judgement) your theory of design?
As student, I had the full semester to mull this over and find an answer that made sense to me.
I immediately figured I would conclude, YES, as I use the world-wide web everyday for work, as well as personal enjoyment. The hard part was trying to figure out exactly HOW using it contributes to my work as a designer and the influence it has held over me. I think of it as influencing me overall, which then feeds into everything I do…including design.
There are two aspects to how I’ve broken it down:
1) Internet as Encyclopedia for my hungry mind.
Sites that contribute to this aspect:
Bernard Tschumi advertisments
Alexander McQueen books, as well as Isabella Blow, Daphne Guinness and the like…
Films like Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
2) Internet as Visual Stimulation for my eager eyes.
poetic, as well as visual interest from JJJJound

This was the topic of my thesis project, but I focused more on the social media side of it. I really do love your blog.
