Likely our most imaginative, provocative and downright fun editions yet, I’m curious to hear the chatter on this Valentinian launch. Honestly, I’ve never put much stock in to Valentine’s Day. Past girlfriends are quick to remind me of this with much relish.
Growing up with a Ukrainian Father quick to teach us to observe weaknesses in systems, akin to a chess master playing a novice, Hallmark Holidays and the American need to advertise everything and anything at all times, was a familial favorite. Exacerbated by the advent of cable TV, the internet and its spawn, Hallmark Holidays have become tenets of society today.
Not without irony, this magazine is basically one huge advertisement for what we create daily, monthly and yearly. No doubt my Father will pipe up with this edition, and with good reason, for this month we have the rare privilege to celebrate capturing Kathleen and Randall. (Since we’re old friends we’ll call them Kathy and Randy.) Their story is the magic of classic literature I adore so much, unlike this forced holiday testament to love and chocolate.
Paired with Margarita’s lament, a brazen composition, Bowie inspired styling and expression, a sinful steak, and not so cloudy thoughts on The Cloud, Valentine’s Day is just a way of life for us here at KARJAKA. When you do what you love, with people that you love, who wants just one day to celebrate that?
