Irina Burdak Makes Mary Quant’s Mod Look Modern
Friday, March 25th, 2011
Irina Burdak
Irina Burdak designed a collection for a young urban, chic woman. Mary Quant, Irina’s Master of Design muse, started her fashion career doing the same thing.
For anyone not familiar with Mary Quant all you need to do is think 1960s, mod, and miniskirt. She began her career at the age of 21 when she opened her own boutique with a particular client in mind: the Chelsea Set. The girls (close in age to Quant) of Chelsea, London, which was the pop-culture hub of 1960s London. The only problem was, as she set out to buy merchandise for her store, she found the kinds of clothes she wanted were not available. So, working from home, she began to create a look for the Chelsea girl.
Her approach was based on simple shapes and bold fashion statements. The looks took off and soon Americans were clamoring for the “London look,” which by 1965 included the miniskirt.
Mary Quant and the mod mini.
One of Irina’s looks certainly nods to the mod look, and Mary Quant would approve of the young fresh color palette Irina uses. But, her pieces are not period costumes for another Austin Powers flick. The Quant influence is there, but these looks are for today’s twenty-something client.
“My collection is for a woman in her mid to late ’20s,” notes Irina. “She’s a successful business woman, she’s very classy and chic, and she lives in the city.”
One look could easily go from office to happy hour, while another suggests the urban woman on a Saturday.
Irina brought a modern feel to her garments both in her silhouette and fabric choices, mixing some metallic fabrics with the corals and creams.
Irina used some metallic fabric for a more modern look.
While the clean lines and easy fit of her garments suggest Irina’s skill at construction, she says she enjoys each step of the design process, from concept through construction.
“There’s a great feeling when the patterns are done, and you pick your fabric, and then start to construct,” she explains, obviously relishing the journey.
While Irina now embraces patternmaking and construction, she didn’t’ come to CCAD knowing how to sew. She didn’t come to CCAD expecting to be a Fashion Design major.
A Columbus native since she was 11-years old (when her family moved to Ohio from the Ukraine), Irina started out at Columbus State Community College with an eye on a profession in medicine. With encouragement from a high school art instructor ( she had received a silver award medal from the Scholastic Arts Awards) she applied to CCAD. She came to CCAD thinking she would major in Fine Arts, but after attending a major selection session her sophomore year and visiting Fashion Design, she changed directions, again.

“I liked the idea of being able to construct my own clothing,” Irina said when asked why she wanted to study Fashion Design. And now she has a collection to send down the runway May 13.

Romer: Lack of focus on unemployment ’shameful’
Thursday, March 24th, 2011
So it turns out that one of the former chairs of the Council of Economic Advisers who signed on to that Politico op-ed calling for implementation of the deficit commission’s unofficial, non-binding, failed recommendations is worried about unemployment. Too bad Christina Romer couldn’t have gotten a piece of this into that op-ed.
“Shameful.” That’s what Christina Romer calls our apparent decision to stop worrying about unemployment and focus instead on deficit reduction and defunding public television and reproductive rights organizations. To see unemployment at 8.9 percent, she said at Vanderbilt University, is an “absolute crisis.” But we’ve slowly become accustomed to it. After all, 8.9 percent is better than almost-10 percent, which is where we were a few months ago. And it’s coming down, isn’t it? And aren’t we broke?
It’s true that 8.9 percent is better than almost-10 percent, but it’s not better enough. Remember that 8.9 percent was the disaster predicted in the Romer-Bernstein estimate> of what would happen in the absence of the stimulus. The recession proved much worse than they—or anyone—knew at the time, and so their estimate proved sadly optimistic. But it was only a bit more than two years ago that our best economists considered 8.9 percent a catastrophic outcome for our economy, a future that was to be avoided no matter the cost. Now we’ve relaxed into it. Accepted it. Both Congress and the White House are pushing spending plans that most economists agree will destroy jobs in 2011. Rather than doing everything we can to boost employment, we’re doing things that we know will reduce it.
Perhaps she did argue with her Council colleagues. If so, she must be tired of being disregarded. Remember, she had argued for a .2 trillion stimulus package, way back when. Which probably would have made some difference in that unemployment number.

the “Columbus Social Media Chamber of Commerce” really?
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011Did you know Columbus has a “the Columbus Social Media Chamber of Commerce”
Really?
Or will soon…
A “Mark Bingaman” posted on ’365 Things to do in Columbus Ohio’ a page on Facebook:
“Social Rewards! Columbus, a service of the Columbus Social Media Chamber of Commerce, debuts later this spring. We’re seeking Central Ohio non-profits and charitable organizations who’d like to receive the Social Rewards (monthly grants) accrued from the Social Shopping of Columbus-area consumers. Businesses, non-profits and consumers…”
Columbus does have a “Social Media Chamber of Commerce” and I guess “Social Rewards! Columbus” is what is coming soon? Columbus has a “Columbus Social Media Chamber of Commerce” already? It does it’s a blogger blog with a lot of ads! “Metro Columbus Social Media Chamber of Columbus”
And the “Social Media Chamber of Commerce” has a Facebook Page with 38 people who like it. Have I ever mentioned I have a real estate business page (or three) on Facebook? The biggest of the three has 34 fans…. although I count my ’365 Things to do in Columbus Ohio’ in my social media failures column it has way more fans than all three of my Facebook real estate pages.
I’ll bet there’s a Twitter ID for the “Columbus Social Media Chamber of Commerce” too? 1029 Followers….
Their Twitter says:
“The Metro Columbus Social Media Chamber of Commerce. Helping CMH Businesses & Organizations Understand, Benefit & Profit from Social Media”
Their website tells about their mission too.
I’ll be watching for what is coming soon… debuting soon… Social Rewards! Columbus
Dental Implant Types for Tooth Replacement
Monday, March 21st, 2011
Write-up by Matthew Candelaria
Missing teeth can have negative affects on our smiles’ appearance and on our self-esteem. A full set of well-aligned teeth suggests that the individual bearing those teeth is intelligent and pleasant. Replacing any missing teeth boosts confidence and increases the likelihood that you will smile, but, most importantly, replacing missing teeth improves your wellness.
There are several options for replacing teeth. The very best selection for most individuals is dental implants. Dental implants are a excellent selection since the implant replaces the missing tooth’s root and holds the replacement tooth in place.
Replacing the tooth’s root fills the gap between your natural teeth in the jaw to prevent the jawbone from collapsing, the gums from shrinking, and the neighboring teeth from shifting. In addition to these benefits, there are three varieties of dental implants to meet everyone’s requirements.
The dental implant varieties are:
* The root form dental implant* The plate form dental implant* The subperiosteal dental implant
The Root Form Dental ImplantFor most individuals, the root form dental implant is the finest option to replace a missing tooth. The implant is normally produced of surgical steal and holds 1 dental crown per implant. The implant is placed in the jawbone and requires about 3 months to heal. The jawbone will grow around the implant throughout the healing time to create a bonded and secure foundation for the dental crown.
Patients who have a thick and healthy jawbone are fantastic candidates for the root form dental implant. Bone grafting is offered to patients who have thin jawbones and qualify for grafting. If the patient does not have a thick jawbone and can not have bone grafting, the other two dental implant alternatives are accessible.
The Plate Form Dental ImplantThe plate form dental implant is a very good option for patients with thin jawbones. This dental implant is thin and lengthy as its name implies. It is placed in the jawbone and requires about three months for the jawbone to heal around it. Because it is lengthy and thin, it will need to be placed in a larger location of the jawbone than a root form dental implant.
The Subperiosteal Dental ImplantSome patients have jawbones that are thin and can not support the plate form dental implant. For these patients, the subperiosteal dental implant is the perfect remedy to replace missing teeth. This implant is long and thin like the plate form implant, but it is not placed in the jawbone. The subperiosteal implant is placed next to the jawbone under the gum tissue. This implant demands less healing time than the other two kinds because it does not want the support of the jawbone. It is custom created to fit exactly around your jawbone and comfortably under your gum tissue.
All 3 varieties of dental implants can replace one or far more missing teeth. You will want to schedule a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist to discover out which dental implant sort is proper for your requirements.
