What might a luxury Girl Guides condo unit in Palm Springs California be like? Pinups Presidential designs architecturally-focused residential program insertions to impact our civic arrangements.

Outdoor Experience Design can impact the way we think about ground force security in the United States

Attracting qualified executive leadership into our neighborhoods based on global civic standards organizations like Scouting can help us rewrite #Global #GovernanceStandards as #Citizen #Designer #Engineer (s) Did you know the Queen of England was also a Girl Guide?

Good, clean fun

This Independence Day marked by “Remember the COVID19 Alamo” #CivicDesign #ActivityStations: remember the U.S. is still only 44% vaccinated and much of the rest of the world is still waiting on vaccines. PinupsPresidential civic responders make it fun to get clean together.

A post on our Palm+Olive character for Palm Springs, I tinted a glycerin soap base with Palmolive dish soap and have begun @ contacting Colgate over social media. I think a Colgate Comedy Hour themed PinupsPresidential show could be a recurring feature in MidCentury/MidCenturyModern themed towns. Dean Martin & rat pack entertainers are particularly associated with Palm Springs. The city has a heavy investment in Midcentury Kitsch (lowbrow) as well as Modernism Week (highbrow) midcentury design and in the Palm Springs Art Museum.

I will relate to these brights at modernism related popups/experience and to these greens specifically in cactus and other subtropical desert botanicals.

MODERN SECURITY

I am thinking about Bike Palm Springs’ Rad electric bike line in this color for cross town floral/botanicals/farmers market vege deliveries. Mobility meets #ModernSecurity. The bike’s secured, so the driver assigned to it for the shift is being tracked. Camera on in an instant or all the time depending on neighborhood preferences & best practices set for minors/disabilities etc.

Enjoying my new #California #SNAP card. Due to identity hacking problems in the past, I was not able to obtain a card. Now in Palm Springs, I am using my CIVIC RESOURCES WISELY making #PoolSide fare like #cocktail infusions (no alcohol yet, so all #AgeGroups can enjoy) healthy sandwiches and snacks using ingredients presented to identify sour, salty, bitter, sweet and a variety of textures, bites & mouth feels. Also enjoying my new Rada knife. I purchased this #Poolhouse prototype after reaching out to my stepsister to see how she was faring during COVID. I found out she was selling these, so I chose to purchase from her as a way of helping my hyperlocal community. It came with a printed guide so I’ll post as I try it out. I’d like to have this and a paring knife along with a cutting board that fits the cabinetry perfectly. This kind of stuff should be place-based & the best quality possible. (#CivicDesign)

Outlandish silliness: #FantasyFloral Chandeliers for #Holidays 2018. Of course I missed a row of these outside, but I felt like most of the paintings were secured, except I'm not sure the roof overhead is sufficiently protected over the unused sauna.  To reiterate: I definitely need standard hardware so I can move pieces quickly from room to room. When I obtain funds from one of our proposals for a truck or to hire one of the contractors I've obtained quotes from, I look forward to improving the safekeeping of these #civic assets. I just did the best I could, walked out of the house with my cart, scroll, drawings & documents & said "God's will be done..."

When the evacuation sirens caught my attention. I did many things right & made a lot of mistakes as well. I waited by evacuation buses for several hours after this pic was taken, but we were never instructed to depart, so I eventually made my way home. I was directed to the Fire Station for a time earlier and met several law enforcement officers and collected their cards for a possible #PaintersHouse connection. I checked in on the closest animal shelter, but they weren't repopulating yet. #MindBody work on #sound (#PTSD trigger #HXD) The interwoven complexity of my normal #activitystations became shorter task oriented. Far less rhythmic since I was conserving battery power for music (my backup pack lasted well until power was restored.) The planes are thrilling but loud! I chose to eliminate coffee in the presence adrenaline #transition. Either that or warming food over an oil lamp made me sick. As a practitioner, I mostly didn't take photos but made altars and painted small things.

Of course the first guest (a short-term need for a room) in a long time arrives during #Showroom (or when the theater's dark) Everything was pulled apart, but it's been lovely to listen to Magda's vocal practice while I create. Stunning #practice and arias. I've taken as many #FieldNotes as I can about her stay- she's gravitated towards the public courtyard vs the "private" porch- one set aside for her use- on the front of the house. The shared courtyard is usually more private since we can close the gate from street view. I pray and dance out here regularly. This spot becomes an #activitystation I consider in my rounds- and I leave her to #practice in solitude when she's out there.  

Working towards a flexible space where we can set up chairs and take them away for yoga/mindfulmovement. Magda's first visit to PaintersHouse still getting her stretch on during SWATCH Showroom.

JW Marriott Griffin Palm Desert

Stepping back from your painting

A huge advantage to creating Pods Ecosystems based on #governancestandards is being able to get away from your own practice & project site long enough to see it clearly. Stand back from a painting & you’ll see beauty and issues you can’t from brushstroke close-up. Look at it upside down or backwards in a mirror, or back to back in a mirror to mirror or through a phone pic and you’ll see even more. Enjoyed working on PaintersHouse Idyllwild’s #ProjectConcierge training manual in the lobby of JW Marriott in Palm Desert yesterday, a project I’ve been making notes on, but is only one of many #activitystations in the house. Getting away to focus on it exclusively while enjoying the #Hospitality #designthinking on a professional property created a deep sense of relief and reflection.  

#KelleyPadrick #HXD environmental reading for JW Marriott in #ScaryMonsters #Colorways. 

My ex had a multi-day conference gig in Palm Desert and commuted to the AirBNB rental downstairs from PaintersHouse Idyllwild each day instead of staying on JW Marriott's property (sometimes gigs cover this, sometimes they don’t.) We are cordial, avoiding discussions about the home we still co-own in Idyllwild post-divorce, and I was grateful to get off the hill. He even honored me with a perfunctory come on, allowing me an opportunity to decline gracefully. 

It was a nice time: being friends who share a lot of memories & social connections. Post-relationship #SocialGraces are worth cultivating. (#PinupsPresidential #CampaignTrailRedesign)

The resort was hosting a tech conference: I reflected on instances where the idea of balance must be balanced. Balance the way we sometimes think of it applied to tech security is like an errant hair in your #Pastry: we expect 100% security all of the time. There are many preparations that go into a completed #PaintersHouse #Idyllwild tart. Even the simplest #ConfitKitchen #Fatshaming is a multi-step process. Picking apples, then preparing them: oven, food mill. Dough rolled in and also rises. Variations on any step (dance, dance, dance) affects the end product and mastery thereof. Fumble the costuming and ALL that work is for naught. I have a full head covering and lint roller on the shelf in the #stir pod. I love Kimmel’s Mean Tweets and Fallon’s Restaurant Yelp Reviews bits, though this serves mostly as an awareness exercise. Shaming people into gratitude, even in funny ways, isn’t as sustainable as working in a #LifeLongLearning kitchen. Yelp review once you’ve tried it yourself.

The grotto #Form- my favorite way to enjoy pool time as a fair skinned, light-eyed person. Reminded me of the light in Soleri’s house in Phoenix.

Gratitude by Design

So how do you thank the invisible people working in classified or other behind-the-scenes environments? If they’re not invisible, they’re not doing their jobs. #SocialGraces are an outcome of great #SustainableLivingPods design, much the way “seek first the kingdom and all these things will be added to you…” from my spiritual tradition applies. You can only express emotional energy (such as gratitude or humility) that you have in excess of what you need. At the local/personal level you can readily deplete your thank yous if relying solely upon your own strength. #LifeLongLearning environments produce gratitude as a by-product, creating educated fans along any learning trail (I understand how difficult it is to make a cookie or filling like that- kudos to the grill! It had some kind of melty caramel center woof!) Awesome hamburger lunch with glass of Malbec, coffee and the complimentary confection. Still, $40 + tip for such a meal is a common sin among #Hospitality properties who are so nickeled and dimed by online booking competition that our #CitizenExperience on site, where we’re interacting face-to-face with other human beings, ends up feeling predatory. #RnB #PodsProgramming funded in other ways can ease the burden and up the #localflavor offerings. 

The property looks like it could produce its own #EdibleGarden and edible fish if the hospitality brand didn’t have to absorb all the costs. On and on. The girl cleaning the pond boats looked pinups hubba hubba gorgeous & I wondered if aloud how you could make that a “thing” without offending guests or causing legal snafus. Gather for the 3 o’clock boat cleaning to watch the girls. Beefcake on pool cleaning. Social streams this morning suggested making that a PinupsPresidential “bit.” It felt naughty watching her rub the boat down because of its voyeuristic quality (scrub that floor pinup, rawr). Educational too: it’s not your body type or weight, it’s that you’re moving it. Blessed freedom to creep up & yea, I know you’re watching me, big boy. 

What a difference from the “she’s never satisfied” problem too. With #PodsEcosystem #DesignThinking based on #governancestandards, there’s a way for critical-thinking not to be perceived as criticism. Tech security needs citizens to #breakitdown into minutiae, especially considering data systems emotive capabilities. Games of shame can result in clamming-up, zero risk-taking behavior, and that can leave a single hair of a design oversight in an ever-changing, dynamic universe. “I never thought of it that way” can result in lost opportunity at best, prove fatal at worst. Guy paralyzed by his own analytical skills needs #podsprogramming formats to load-balance anxiety: you go girl- nit pick that experience to death, just don’t make it about me. 

Less anxiety, more blisstech (sponsor?)= more fun in the kitchen (put that #Fatshaming in your mouth girl and like it) and sexy rubbing down “boat” makes for better security. No, I didn’t take a photo of her because I was busy enjoying watching & also so you can use your imagination. 

Happy healthy adult human beings are sexy because they’re sexual, the same way I’m a painter if I paint or a dancer when I dance. Paths to mastery are ____

This is where I leave you as an #HXD designer- there are experts & teachers in these fields, ones I’m suggesting we develop standard formatting so we can deploy them in relevant, place-based ways.

 #ScaryMonsters Hospitality #Forms

Carpets & covers under black lights may be passé, but my #PaintersHouse #Surfaces #Practice kicked in marveling at the sq. footage of bland. Even in an upscale hotel, so much popcorn texture, areas to dust, paint & wax for shimmering effects (to mimic the glimmering water in the lobby) I would start with the dancing light if asked. The waiting or smoking area outside the Japanese restaurant could become so much more- though maintained, a loving local gardener could own just the waterfall, bonsai section. A showcase to view the splendid black swans. Stay here & love on this area, section by section, with coordinated hand-offs as #RnB #PodsWorkers swap out. Are we not aware of what speakers look like? There’s spa music blaring out of that foam rock, bringing original Star Trek episodes to mind. Maybe sponsored Palm Desert heisting of plastic rocks for #MemesThatMatter could be a fun idea (like gnomes & baby jesuses) Showcasing them on each others' hospitality properties?

Like so many chain places, the infrastructure is there- we need awesome infill. Sand traps & ponds used differently on a Monday without a golfer in sight- reflecting pools #Colorways garden expressions. Vaguely European lighting fixtures signal “fancy,” but do they really? There’s a whole fun & funky boutique hotel culture in Palm Springs/Desert and tons of thrift & art galleries. Speaking as an “artisan” & aspiring kept woman/citizen, we just want easy ways to afford to be artists to make the stuff we already have gorgeous (#MindfulMaking #CitizenExperience).

Gangsta Paradise Day of the Dead

Original Post April 20, 2015, updated February 1, 2019

Cultural Mashup: LA Gang History + Day of the Dead  & Ancestor Veneration 

Ava’s MindBody neighborhood connection, focusing on what we share vs. what we don’t, to illustrate how many opportunities could exist on our neighborhood by neighborhood #CampaignTrailRedesign. For example, ancestor veneration appears in many of our #MeltingPot culture groups: a #Sanctuary topic. #Neighborhood #StyleGuide intends to capture the essence of each hood, starting from exactly where we are. LA Gangs mapped out every neighborhood down to the block level=the inspiration for #AVA2016’s (now #AVA2020) #CampaignTrailRedesign #DesignThinking: not the criminal element of it, but the governance aspect. Where existing “legit” government systems fail to meet the actual governance needs of a place, alternate systems- whether private corporate or underground criminal- spring up to serve unmet needs. From an interconnected global technology perspective, governance is governance, so developing standards is both exciting from an economic development and brand perspective as it is necessary from a defense/security one.

#LocalFlavor / #Stir: I believe that the food truck phenomenon is indicative of our desire to reclaim something authentic about our people groups. Pioneers like Roy Choi started the trend by mashing up traditional Meso and Korean foods. (Hey, does anybody mind me using “Meso” instead of “Hispanic” or “Latino…” I find those terms too vague for such a vast set of people groups: I don’t even speak Spanish and the Latinos in Miami sound completely different to my ear than the Mesos in L.A…) 

#BrandUSA is a #MeltingPot culture. Why do we let kids drop out of high schools because they’re not relevant to their lives? We could start high schools that run out of salons (ref: Chris Rock’s documentary on the market opportunities surrounding African American hair- trailer below. In a #PodsEcosystem salon (or any other #DestinationEducation environment) texts could be customized to meet reading requirements, business courses w/relevant mathematics courses could be taught, chemistry (hair products)

Brands regularly have to educate as a part of their marketing- from an #HXD (Human Experience Design) perspective, education is education regardless of whether the lessons come from a science lab at an academic institution or a science lab that develops hair color or culinary technique recommendations for food. The kitchen is full of chemistry lessons- rotating #Colorways conversations via #Stir #PodsProgramming can earn academic credits if tracked correctly via standards for the #CitizenExperience: all possibilities in our technology age should we ask for them as a citizenry with a unified voice (#AVA2020).  

People groups in Watts/Compton/SouthCentral have been working around failing government systems for decades- we have much to learn from them. Which means that the meek, in this social media era of #AVA2016 ((now #AVA2020) , really will inherit the earth. Who knows how to “canvas” a neighborhood better than street gangs? Who knows how to *really* get things done when bloated grid systems fail? Take the know-how, sans the violence, and apply it neighborhood by neighborhood all over the world.

Riddly riddle ree, I see something you don’t see

And that’s opportunity

#BreakItDown 

Example: Take #GangstaRap, a mere sub genre of the gigantic #HipHop cultural phenomenon in neighborhoods like Compton, SouthCentral & Long Beach. These places have global brand equity that can maximize on their music legacy. By dropping pins along with personal stories about what went down & connecting the songs to the physical locations, residents can benefit directly from the brand equity in the place vs. the tourist bus.

A contemporary Hip Hop example: Check out at the quilted ranch home that looks both like a Chanel bag as well as a reference energy-efficient homes! Wonderful!

 

#RunTheNumbers:

Potential corporate sponsors

Entertainment Brands : MTV/VH1, Def Jam Records etc. Versace is referenced above- many fashion brands. Pimp My Ride & other reality shows. 

Gaming Brands : Take dropped pins & recreate gangsta conflicts for tourists via mobile phone and laptop apps (not Biotech until we have #GovernanceStandards for those please), paintball, laser tag. i.e. If you were this guy, walking into this situation on this block and here’s what was at stake, what would you have done? These need to have specific geographic outlines for game play made clear to the citizenry.

Transportation: #Pimpin’ green rides: Tesla has a factory nearby: Plant #Garage pods (with High School equivalency/charter school. #DestinationEngineering with (again) customized reading texts/ biz classes on how to run a garage/science and engineering materials with real world applications. Sponsor #CleanEnergy projects. Compton also has train facilities for pimpin’ cars. Long Beach = major port. Connect lab & studio containers on barges & RR lines. Connect classroom trains between #DestinationEngineering stops. Trains to Detroit for green rides & additional sponsors? Trains to Brooklyn for #DestinationMusic? 

#CorrectionalHospitality: big facility in the area

Homes/Edible gardens etc. 25 neighborhood revitalization biz plans

 

The #HXD

Former rival gangs: crips, bloods, khakis (many residents are now Mesos, primary musical brand equity is African American. If there’s one thing gangs know how to do, it’s make money. Provide an opportunity that’s greater than former rivalries & we can start experiencing peace as a “by-product” of economic development. As feet on the street work together to make sure tourists can move safely through the hoods, we’ll see more opportunities to collaborate with the “authorities”. #HitTheDojoBro initiatives to protect financial investments. We’d like to believe that we’ll work on racism or police misconduct at some point because it’s the right thing to do, but that simply isn’t human nature. For example, I don’t keep chocolate cake & red wine in the house all the time because I know I simply won’t do the right thing when I’m tired or stressed. Good parents know that half the disciplinary battle with small kids is creating an environment where they can’t get in trouble. We don’t waste time arguing about not touching the dangerous chemicals under the kitchen sink, we move the cleansers to a top shelf and install child proofing closures to cabinets underfoot. We can apply the same common sense to our own neighborhoods and residential environments. Nobody’s going to get rival gangs (or rival corporations, rival lobbyists, rival…) to sit down & sing kumbaya together just because it’s a nice thing to do. But if the economic incentives are there, then we’re competing with the “big boys..” Something smart pinups know how to do. *winks*

#LightTheNight: roll through the hoods with glow sticks or other neon “colors” from 10 p.m. on All Saints, Nov 1-Midnight All Souls. “Don’t wake the baby” #AllSoulsRoll- a silent (stroller) stroll (referenced in social streams, though I was teased about how “all souls” sounds for marketing reasons, it’s a way to acknowledge the spirit of everyone, not just Christians:) Our goal is to cross the border back and forth between Mexico and U.S. in remembrance of lives lost to humanitarian error in human history. (A social comment Feb 2, 2019 noted this would be a great goal for many international borders that have experienced conflicts.) As our platform focuses on what we share vs. what divides us, most of us know the feeling of harried parents who finally get a fussy baby to sleep. The loving, reverent silence to care for the most helpless among us, walking back and forth as the night passes from #AllSaints to #AllSouls could complete a mindful #AllHallows weekend as an annual #civic event. Commitment to equitable #CitizenExperience #GovernanceStandards between men and women and people groups.
