A new way of thinking about Valentine’s Day:
In mid-January, Bryony and I were invited by Studio 360 to tackle a rather interesting problem: Redesigning Valentine’s Day, everything from the hearts, to the roses, to the chocolates, to the expensive dinners, to Cupid. […] The hardest part was grasping the extent to which Valentine’s Day had become more obnoxious than enjoyable and finding glimmers of hope in the traditions of this holiday.
I’m all for replacing roses with saffron, chili peppers, eggplant, and papaya.
