The one, the only Kate Bingaman-Burt opened up Land Gallery on Friday. Balloons, pencils, colors, madness. And the cocktail dress of the decade. Such a star, and I so love that her lil gift package of rip-offs given to her by Frank was captured in that last photograph. So that is called joy!

The overall feeling of the show could be surmised as the collision of sunshine + love + energy + consumption. Not the rampant nasty consumption, but the fun kind like sunglasses and sweet tea. Following the launch of her book, Kate’s talents and mind are now available for the nation to admire. Buy a copy for yourself and one for your mother here.
