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.

I went to my first PechaKucha Wednesday night. PechaKucha? Check it out and if you can make it to one in your city, I highly encourage! The topic for Wed’s night tied into DC Architecture Week. “Let’s Talk Architecture” featured area designers/architects and covered various topics and themes. From “Architecture in the Schools” to “Light Graffiti” to “The Concept and The Moment, Architectural Photography.”
What is it exactly? From the website:
PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
The session consisted of 8 different topics and presentations. The last an international presentation from Gary Chang via Hong Kong. His presentation, “The Transformer House” opens your mind about what a small space can transform into over a lifetime and with many functions. Check it out here:

Chang has been featured by the NYT in January 2009 – 24 Rooms Tucked Into One.
READ it and check out more images of his insane pad.
