Or maybe just the Partridge Family bus?
Quick! Go to Google
You know how they sometimes put up seaonal decorations on their site or embellish their "Google" logo with holiday appropriate attire? Well, what is today, Mondrian day?

I knew it reminded me of something. But Mondrian?

Why, yes, you're right Ann! If you mouseover the google logo it searches for the very term...

When I first saw the decoration on google I thought it was L'oreal hair gel day ;o) Is that a new something, to celebrate birthdays daily, or is only Mondrian worthy a googlebirthday ;o)

I thought the same thing too! I thought they were celebrating the Partridge Family, or every day they were going to have a new Google logo design or something.

LOL! Looks like a shirt I had in like, 7th or 8th grade...

Oh wow, Jane, I didn't even realize that! Google must have a pretty cool crew working for them to make March 7 Mondrian Day. Tres absurd!
Nico: ROFLMAO!!!!! Why didn't I think of that!?!
Anita: Now THAT would be cool if they do a different logo design every day, like a different artist's birthday everyday. June 30 they could have Ann day! ;)
Kimberly: I had the coolest art history professor at CSU, Fred Levine, (unfortunately he no longer teaches because he was too radical...so it goes) who had an "I too am famous day" where art students got to show off their own slides of works and he put them in a historical reference. Anyway, I had a piece called "Plaid Massacre" and he compared mine to Mondrian because I was appropriating fabric styles into art, whereas Mondrian's art was appropriated into fabric styles. He showed these models with these Mondrian mini dresses. I guess you had to have been there, anyway, that's what your post reminded me of.

Maybe you're not using L'Oreal Ann ;o] On the other hand, neither do I.

Nico, actually, I have an old tube of L'Oreal hair gel lying around in our upstairs bathroom. But lately I've been using Dep or something that's less stiff. I'm sure you're all thrilled to know that.
