Original design by Talitha Kuomi
From Talitha’s window, you look down into the yard she played in as a girl. From the bottom porch step, you look up at Orion’s Belt hovering above the garage. Somewhere between these two, created space and childhood, you can find her in the tangerine velvet chair contentedly knitting something new as her children grow up right before her very eyes. She can be reached at talithakuomi@live.com or www.TalithaKuomi.com.

The men in my life who would wear a retro-cool hat like Ponder are indie-rockers. Under said hats, their minds contain new songs, strong ideals, and the contents of a book most recently devoured. Ponder has enough class to be appropriate for daytime, but has enough "hip" to hold its’ own under the club lights between sets late into the night.
