Monday Meme: Music
Hear that? That’s the sound of Monday in the background. Author E. Annie Proulx,the genius behind both The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain, provides the prose for today’s meme. And we couldn’t agree more. While we can’t have a swelling orchestra follow us around today, maybe we can rock out to the radio during our drive home or tap our toes while to whatever’s playing at the grocery store. Hope you find time to do the same!

The world lost an icon of epic proportions on this date in 2003 when Katharine Hepburn passed away at the age of 96. Hepburn shunned Hollywood glamour and chose to live her life by her own set of rules. Oscar-winner, best-selling author and total rule breaker, we thought it would only be right to honor the lady with a Monday Meme!
While you’re here, check out our entire line of cards, perfect for the rule-breaker in your life.
Monday Meme: Dance
Monday. The mere word doesn’t exactly inspire us to dance in the streets, does it? Yet for this week’s Monday Meme, we’re deferring to the wisdom of poet, novelist and playwright Gertrude Stein. After all, the lady knew a thing or two about living life to its fullest. Stein’s brazen style and bold tales of lesbian romance we’re some of the first of their kind back when they caused a publishing sensation in the early 1900’s. Plus, her friendships with the world’s best artists and writers in Paris have gone to inspire generations of creative types searching for “La Boheme.”
Life’s short so we might as well shake our tail feathers while we can!

Today’s meme comes from poet and social activist Langston Hughes. Hughes, by all reports, spent his life as a closeted gay man who hid his sexuality from the world. Instead, Hughes turned his efforts towards creating poems, plays and novels which would become important pieces of 20th century literature. In honor of Pride Month and to celebrate the legacy of Langston Hughes, we’re going to hold fast to our dreams and hope you do the same!

Raspy-voiced Broadway performer Harvey Fierstein is often cast for comic relief in big-budget Hollywood films. But make no mistake about it, Fierstein is a Tony-winning powerhouse and a highly influential voice in the LGBT community. From Hairspray to Kinky Boots to Torch Song Trilogy and beyond, Fierstein has been part of some of the biggest Broadway hits of the last 30 years. Fierstein also uses his platform to speak out against inequality and writes frankly on LGBT issues. So we thought what better way to kick off the week than words of wisdom from the man himself? Wonderful!

Timing, they tell us, is everything. For gay author, E.M. Forester this was particularly true. It took four novels and roughly 20 years for Forester to have a bona fide hit with Passage to India, the novel from which today’s incredible quote comes from. It wasn’t until years after his death did his work reach worldwide acclaim when his books were adapted into a series of award-winning films. The moral of the story? We never know what life has in store so we might as well enjoy it now!

“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live with in.” – James Baldwin
Openly gay civil rights trailblazer and acclaimed writer James Baldwin was a force to be reckoned with. Not only part of a movement that would change history, Baldwin’s work as a writer continue to inspire and touch readers all over the world.
