(4) While, again, I can’t claim to have known Dito personally, I’m very grateful for that conversation and for the chance to experience his work. Martha Graham Cracker was truly one of a kind; a Philly legend.

(1) I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dito van Reigersberg, aka Martha Graham Cracker. I didn’t know Dito personally, but I had the privilege of interviewing him a few years ago for Atlantic City Weekly, and it remains one of my favorite interviews I've ever done.

Holding a good thought for my forever idol, Marilyn Monroe, on the 100th anniversary of her birth. Long before “girl power” had a name, Marilyn showed the world what it looked like: confident, vulnerable, funny, determined, and completely unforgettable. She was far more than a beautiful face. She was a gifted actor, a cultural phenomenon, and a woman who worked incredibly hard to be taken seriously in a world that so often refused to see beyond the image. A century after her birth, new generations are still discovering the magic that made her unlike anyone else before or since. There will never be another Marilyn. Her films, her timeless spirit, and the fascination she inspires continue to endure. Thank you, Marilyn, for showing us that strength and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive, for inspiring generations to embrace their power and individuality, and to never stop believing in themselves. 💖✨ #MM100 #MarilynMonroe 📸: Screen Prod, Bernard of Hollywood, Cecil Beaton, George Barris

Philadelphia architect Frank Furness, a former Army captain during the Civil War, translated his fearlessness into the designs of about 1,000 buildings – elaborate structures whose oversized arches, asymmetrical facades and eccentric decorations broke free from the polite Victorian era-style. @costareports takes a tour of Furness' Philadelphia with Wall Street Journal architectural critic Michael Lewis, who explains why the architect's reputation has gained a reappraisal.
