Hey! Did you see the article on miniature modern furniture in the New York Times? It features Call of the Small. The journalist called me the week I blogged about reac chairs in American catalogs. She had never heard of the Kaleidescope House and I told her the history of dollhouses and referred her to the History by McKendry. She emailed me today and said the article ran. I told her about my collection and the MH1 house. And how I think Minimodernista is the zenith of modern design. She was amazed at all the miniature blogs and asked me why we do it. I said we like to play. She said I could blog about it after the article ran. Great pics! Oh, P.S. She was rather shocked when I told her how many dollhouses I had!

Hey C,
Kate had asked me where to get Reac and I said, read this, it was just blogged about here: http://myrealitty.blogspot.com/2010/03/victory-for-modern-afficianados.html
I know that Kate contacted Modern MC (callsmall and myself said she was a must to interview) , but I don't know more than that. I can guess if there was an article on Modern MC it would take up the entire Home & Garden section.
She interviewed Paris as well, but did not quote him even though she add a link at the end. I'm guessing that's how she got Lee Downin's contact info since he bought a pod from Paris.
I had also mentioned contacting The Shopping Sherpa, but her being in Australia, might have been a factor.
It was pretty fun and I hope this might get some new interest in modern miniatures and maybe some more products on the market.
Good! I mentioned Oese too re German resurgence in Midcentury design as in Vero and ddr furniture.I was hoping she would mention Wes's MH1. Yay! C
Thanks for posting! As unpredictable as the media can be, I think the article turned out nicely! And as others say, it would be great if it encourages participation in our mini world!
Yes. I just wanted her to show the MH1 by Wes Christensen. CM
Really funny to read about people i just "know" here in the blogger world, at the New York Times :) But i wonder why they chose just some bloggers and forget about some others?! Hum, mysterious! I hope all the others, like you are not to unhappy about that?
