Grey #39;s Anatomy - Stay

By: jcapismywife
Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy was, in the most imperceptible of ways, a real turning point for the surviving members of the plane crash that ultimately cost Lexie and Mark their lives and left Arizona, Cristina, Meredith and Derek and in some ways, Callie, too irreparably damaged.
During the hour, Meredith, while dealing with pregnancy hormones, was faced with the prospect of getting on a plane again. Initially hesitant, she persevered and got on a small plane similar to the one they crashed in and did so without freaking out. For Derek, it was his first successful surgery since getting his hand back in working shape. Cristina, having healed long ago, was able to show compassion for Alex's program even if it's because she wants to do more fun operations.
But it was Arizona who took the biggest step, both literally and figuratively. For some time, Arizona had been dreaming of being whole again, with her leg still attached. But those dreams would often turn into nightmares of her leg shattering like glass, or her having to perform an amputation on herself. She was suffering from phantom limb syndrome, in which she perceived pain in the leg that had been amputated. Fortunately, Owen helped her with different, and sometimes unconventional, therapies Alex stabbed her in her fake foot! to help her mind and body come to terms.
Now the question becomes: Will the plane crash survivors be able and willing to save Seattle Grace? The arrival of Dr. Cahill (Constance Zimmer), a physician advisor charged with finding ways to slash the budget, spells disaster for the hospital once she announces that the ER will be the first thing cut. If Cahill has her way, her former mentor Dr. Webber may also be on the chopping block.
Should Derek & Co. band together to save the hospital? Hit the comments with your thoughts!
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9/8c on ABC.

Grey's Anatomy Recap: "Walking on a Dream"
Image credit: Ron Tom/ABC
PRETTY BOYS Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) and Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) worked together to help save a patient's life.
It's official: The suits have invaded Seattle Grace-Mercy West. (And I have invaded EW's Grey's Anatomy recap -- Tanner Stransky is taking a week off!)
This week in "The Face of Change," potential buyers toured the hospital, Alex took over voiceover duty from Meredith, and allegiances were formed -- what do you know? -- in the face of change. Also, folks banded together a lot: Couples banded together to support each other both professionally and sexually, doctors banded together to save a 10-year-old boy's life, and the plane crash survivors banded together to save the hospital. And it was not a great time to be a doctor...and to be staying at Alex's house. With Jackson and Stephanie "sucking face" on the couch and Owen and Cristina being the opposite of quiet upstairs, (odd couple?) Alex and Jo were left to do what any rational pair would do in their situation: howl and make giraffe (?) noises in the kitchen. As Alex so elegantly put it: "Transformation sucks." Well said.
But new things aren't always bad, right, Alex? Especially not if you're just -- as he said -- "one drink away from monkey sex" with the hottest new intern. According to Cristina, Alex and Jo were "canines in heat." Unfortunately, though, Alex didn't have a lot of time to think about his new "bestie" -- he was too busy posing for photos.
The explanation for Alex's photo shoots? Cahill, who was all about creating a new brand for a new hospital. Everyone knows a brand isn't complete until it has a face. The lucky winner? Well, because Cristina refused to have her face on anything but a brochure for the Nobel Prize, Alex and Jackson (and by default, their lady friends) duked it out. Alex and Jo brought Africa to the table, while Stephanie and Jackson focused on his charming good looks and his namesake.
But who won? Well, as it turns out, it was less about who won and more about the journey, a.k.a. the public-image assessment officer whose job it was to follow Jackson (Alex had one, too) around the hospital in a constant state of judgment and picture-taking. Welcome to Lindsay Lohan's world, boys.
Pretty boys aside, stuff at the hospital got serious, and the plane-crash survivors weren't exactly on a level playing field with the rest of the staff. Not surprisingly, Bailey was the one to speak up. But the only two people who also seemed to have any fight left in them were Callie and Richard. And when Callie discovered the slogan of the company that wanted to buy the hospital -- Pegasus Horizons: Racing to a Brighter Tomorrow -- she literally had to choke back the vomit. She and the ex-chief decided to investigate this Pegasus company for themselves. Cue the road trip!
NEXT: Callie and Richard get married...sort of

'Grey's Anatomy' recap: Racing To A Brighter Tomorrow
Seattle Grace has been riddled with anxiety and friction since Dr. Alana Cahill arrived. The consultant -- played by "Grey's Anatomy" guest star Constance Zimmer -- has been working on trimming the fat in order to get the hospital running efficiently.
Last week, Dr. Cahill closed down the ER, but it looks like that's just the tip of the iceberg. At the end of the most recent episode of "Grey's Anatomy," she dropped quite the bomb: Seattle Grace is up for sale in the wake of the plane crash survivors' settlement, which leaves the hospital responsible for $15 million per survivor.
Zimmer took the time to chat with HuffPost TV via phone about what's ahead for her whip-cracking character on "Grey's Anatomy" and much more. Below, find out if Dr. Cahill will be involved in one of Shonda Rhimes' signature romantic entanglements, Zimmer's reaction to her line in "House of Cards" that has the internet all atwitter and whether or not the woman best known as Dana Gordon will pop in the "Entourage" movie, which is happening for real this time.
Your "Grey's Anatomy" character has caused quite the uproar at Seattle Grace. Yes. And I'm not stopping there. There's more coming.
It gets worse? Yeah.
On this week's episode, Seattle Grace is brought an emergency case involving a child, but there's no more ER. What can you tease about it? I feel like this week's episode shows that although there might be conflict amongst the doctors, it proves that when people come together and work as a team, they can kind of make anything happen. But she's not part of the team.
Yeah, it looks like the doctors operate behind Cahill's back. Yeah, I'm not really part of that team so even though it shows camaraderie on one side, it also hurts on the side of where she's coming from, which is just trying to keep this hospital open. So there's definitely some conflict that arises between her and the doctors, which is clearly nothing new. [Laughs.]
Last week, we saw Alana seemingly rediscover her love of surgery. It looked like that might lead her to change her tune about the ER, but it didn't. Will we find out more about her backstory, like what led her to stop operating regularly and why she is who she is? Yes, there will definitely be an episode coming up that shows why she's ended up in this position and why being a surgeon was not her MO, apparently. You are going to get to see that in her and, of course, she is being affected by all of the doctors because she's been there now for quite some time, but yet, she still has to keep a united front in terms of her reasons for being there. Keeping it business and trying not to make it too personal is hard, but it also is why she's good at her job because she can do that.
It seems like that could be hard with Hunt (Kevin McKidd), who was trying to crack her a bit. In the operating room, do you think he was being genuine or was he manipulating her into softening up a bit? I definitely think, in those scenes, I do believe that it was genuine and that he was starting to feel a little bad for her because she was an amazing surgeon and he saw that firsthand. But then, of course, as she presented the surprise that she was trying to prime the hospital to sell it, I think it just made him realize, "Oh, this is not personal. This is business." It doesn't matter how friendly they may get, a job is a job and I'm there to do a specific job. You know, it's tough because I want people to like her, but that's not her job. Her job is to get something done.
That's true for a lot of your characters. Right. [Laughs.] Which is so crazy! Thank God I have a healthy ego in knowing that I'm not a bitch in real life because I would start to think, "Wow. People either just really don't like me or maybe I give that off." I have to say I'm kind of proud of the bad-ass characters that I play. They're kind of the most fun to do, especially Cahill on "Grey's." I was very excited that I didn't get to do just that. In the end, she does actually get to have a true arc where you see that she does have a soft side -- it's just kind of hidden. [Laughs.]

[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy. Read at your own risk!]
Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy brought both the best of news and the worst of news.
While Cristina and Owen grappled with whether they should get a divorce, Bailey skipped her wedding to perform surgery on Adele Webber. One of these things ended with good news, another with bad. To find out which, we take a look at this week's top moments from the episode. Have your tissues handy!
Bailey, the runaway bride: Bailey is midway through treating Adele before she even realizes she's left Ben waiting at the altar. After Adele's surgery is successful, Bailey runs into Ben in the hospital and admits that for a moment, she forgot about him and the wedding. She admits she may not have been sure about marrying him, crying that her ambition killed her last marriage. But, since he's also going to be a surgeon, he understands, and the couple finally jumps over the broom and gets married. Tissue level: a box.
Cristina and Owen, reunited: Picking up minutes after the midseason finale, Cristina and Owen find themselves in the on-call room, rekindling the flames. After dealing with some unsavory bikers, Owen comes to realize that he and Cristina should have never gotten married. Once they're out of the confined box of a marriage, they can no longer hurt each other. But (surprise!) they decide, at least based on their passionate kiss, to stay together! Tissue level: Just a few... for Owen.
Callie and Arizona, rekindled: Arizona is disheartened to hear that Callie actually told Bailey to run. Seeing that Callie may be wavering, Arizona decides to get them a room, though rediscovering their sexuality is definitely awkward. After Arizona asks her to leave the room so she can take off her leg, Callie returns to find Arizona still dressed with her leg on. She's not ready to have sex yet, so they decide to watch movies, drink champagne and have an old fashioned make-out session after Arizona begs Callie not to run. Tissues level: of a box.
April and Jackson, divided: April and Jackson attempt to stand their ground by using their intern dates as distractions to not sleep together. Fortunately for Jackson, he finds more than that in Stephanie, whom he ends up sleeping with despite insisting they wouldn't. Unfortunately for April, Shane is completely awkward around her since he thinks April just wants to sleep with him since interns are like sexual catnip at Seattle Grace. However, he really doesn't, leading to an awkward moment when he rebuffs her and she worries he thought she was sexually harassing him. Tissues level: Just two or three to wipe off some steam in Jackson and Stephanie's sex car.
Alex and Jo, the misfit doctors: Though all the doctors are being called back to the hospital, Jo can't go since she's already started drinking. Alex decides to stay behind with her and get sloshed, bonding with her over their rough childhoods. Eventually, Jo breaks out in tears causing a scene, but it turns out she was just messing with him. (Goodness, she's terrible.) But she teaches Alex that men crying is even more heartbreaking, which works in their favor when they finagle a room key belonging to someone else. Tissue level: 0. We still don't like her. And we're starting to lose respect for him if this is his new love interest.
Webber, the widower: Webber almost goes off the rails when Adele is brought in, accusing her caretaker of not being more vigilant. Webber even nearly punches the guy after he comments that Webber never visits. Wracked with that guilt, all he can do is watch from the gallery with Leah taking care of him as Bailey and Meredith try to fix Adele. Eventually, with some help from the former chief, Adele is stable and even comes out lucid, recognizing her husband... one last time. Richard shows up to the wedding, but doesn't break the bad news to Bailey lest he ruin her wedding: Adele died of a heart attack. Tissue level: All the tissues left in the world.
How many boxes of tissues did you go through a whole one once you saw Adele in that wedding dress with their song, "My Funny Valentine" playing in the background, right? Hit the comments!

Grey's Anatomy Recap: "Things We Said Today"
Seattle Grace certainly is changing, but is it for the better or worse?
Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, in which potential buyer Pegasus Horizons toured the hospital, proved that things will not get better with an outside owner. In fact, seeing how a different Pegasus-owned hospital does business gave us a glimpse at a very grim future for Seattle Grace. Check out how the hospital changed this week:
Brand Ambassador: With Pegasus Horizons set to buy the hospital, they're looking for one of the doctors to be the face of Seattle Grace on brochures and posters. Alex and Jackson go to great lengths to compete for the position, but Derek ultimately wins.
Ride-along: April, bored with the lack of trauma cases since the ER closed, goes on a ride-along with her new boyfriend Matt. But when a hit-and-run victim is going to be diverted an hour away, April enlists Jackson's help to secretly bring the patient to Seattle Grace. All the doctors work together to save the child, but once Cahill discovers the truth, they're all chastised since this stunt could've ruined the hospital's chances at being bought by Pegasus.
Undercover: In order to do reconnaissance on another hospital that was bought by Pegasus Horizons, Callie and Webber go undercover as the married couple Mr. and Mrs. Plantain. With Richard pretending to be a patient, the duo discovers that this hospital pushes patients through like it's a fast food restaurant. Webber ultimately feels defeated and considers whether or not to just take an early retirement in the face of such a bleak future with Pegasus. But Callie wants to fight it, so she proposes to the group to buy the hospital.
Are you happy the doctors are going to try to buy the hospital?

Grey's Anatomy Recap: "The Face of Change"
"Men In Black" were everywhere in this episode of Blue Bloods and I never wanted them to put those long wool suits back on as much as I did during the steam room scene. There's something about hairy and sweaty that just doesn't go together.
Other than that one pet peeve I really enjoyed this hour's peak into the Hasidic community. New York City is such a melting pot of cultures, races, and religions that I appreciate it when the show reminds us of that.
When the Grande Rebbe told Henry that he was breaking with tradition and asking his younger son to take his place, it was easy to guess that Levi would soon end up dead.
I was left to wonder if Levi's father had any idea about his extra-curricular activities. I felt bad for Karen Waters, his shiksa goddess but that's always the risk of being the other woman. Given his strict religious beliefs it wasn't hard to guess that Levi would never divorce his wife. Of course given those same beliefs he shouldn't have been having the affair in the first place.
Jamie had a fun case this week. Hopefully Rebecca's friend finds, well, better friends. Calling the police clowns to their faces is generally a quick way to get them to slap the cuffs on you. Not that Rebecca cared. Her daddy was once the mayor.
As Erin told Levins in this Blue Bloods quote as he tried to get the charges dropped…
Erin: As parents our first instinct is to fix everything and sometimes that just makes things worse. | permalink
For a girl that's probably never so much as cleaned up her own room, doing 1000 hours of clean up from Hurricane Sandy should make quite an impression.
The storyline that shocked me the most was that of Peter Christopher Reagan.
Certainly times were different and I would never judge anyone who has lost a child but I was surprised that Henry and his wife chose to never speak of their little boy who died of leukemia the year before Frank was born.
Not talking about him, not sharing his memory all of these years meant that to Frank and his family that child never existed. I found that horribly sad.
On an up note, I couldn't believe it when Danny blurted out that a girl could never be commissioner. Erin would make a better commissioner than either of her brothers. It made me want to invite myself over for their family dinner just to smack him…and have a knish.

The Vampire Diaries jumped "Into the Wild" this week, as viewers finally learned of Shane's real motives, we almost lost Caroline and Damon was introduced to a new member of The Five.
What did our Round Table panel of Matt Richenthal, Miranda Wicker, Steve Marsi, Dan Forcella and Leigh Raines think of the island-based installment? Find out below and then chime in with your thoughts...
----------------------------------
What was your favorite scene or quote from the episode?
Matt: There was some solid dissing and even better dismissing this week. Klaus isn't worth the calories it takes Caroline to slam him? Elena agrees that Rebekah is "easy?" Forget fangs. The claws were out last night.
Miranda: This is hard since this episode was a bit of a letdown compared to last week. I'll go with Damon torturing Shane because I haven't trusted Shane from the moment we first met him and Damon hasn't either. Damon's instincts about things like that are rarely wrong.
Steve: Plenty of candidates this week. I'm going with the flashbacks of Shane and his dead witch wife, and Damon being taken down by another member of The Five, because both were completely out of left field and either explained or added new elements to the unfolding mystery.
Dan: Maybe I'm just a sucker for Claire Holt's smile, but my favorite scene was Rebecca and Stefan's heart to heart I switch which 'ship I represent so often, it's about time I start heavily supporting what Rebecca and Stefan have going on. Good Lord, she's attractive.
Leigh: Guys, I almost fell asleep during this episode...and I'm an insomniac. Next question.
Were you surprised by Shane's turn?
Matt: No, I'm more surprised by how this question is phrased. Shane's turn? Doesn't that imply he was once a good guy? Please. Who didn't see his selfish motives coming from... however many miles away Mystic Falls is from the coast of Nova Scotia.
Miranda: No, not at all. He's just not someone that has ever shouted "I'm a good guy! You can trust me!" The fact that he would bring them to the island and plan to kill at least one of them isn't surprising at all.
Steve: LOL @ question. Surprised at some of the circumstances, maybe, but not that Shane's shadiness was confirmed in general. It was just a matter of when and how.
Dan: The creepy professor turned out to be up to no good? Who woulda thunk it?
Leigh: No, he's had a creepy vibe since day one. Ugh, get rid of this guy. Not only is he a creep, he's taught Bonnie magic that could kill her - and he's given us one of the most boring storylines in years.
Should Damon take The Cure?
Matt: No offense to the human race and all (go Team Homosapians!), but why would any vampire take the cure?!? They can live forever. They can have incredible sex. They never need to worry about sunburn. You want children? One phone call to an adoption agency and one compulsion and... BAM! You're a parent.
Miranda: I'm torn on this one. For a completely noncommittal answer, I think Damon should take it if Damon wants to take it, but shouldn't take it because Elena or Stefan, or anyone else, are trying to pressure him into it. Not that pressure exactly works with Damon. His "existential crisis" moment from The Vampire Diaries Season 1 was a huge moment for his character. I think he wants to be human just as much as the rest of them, but he's incredibly scared of going back.
Steve: Miranda should consider a career in politics after that very intelligent-sounding non-answer. I say no. He's a vampire with depth, but a vampire through and through. I can't envision him rejoining us humans the way Stefan longs for it. Side note: How does one "take" the cure? Is there an unlimited supply for whatever "it" is? How do they know it's not a one-and-done kind of thing?
Dan: And risk Elena not being in love with him anymore? Would you?!?
Leigh: No! But something tells me he might be forced to take it or take it by accident. Vampire Diaries spoilers say something controversial is going to happen and I have a feeling it's going to happen to Damon, which sucks. Damon makes a great vampire, he just does. It's who he is.
Are Klaus and Caroline meant to be?
Matt: No. Relationships that are based on life-saving Hybrid blood and sacrificial/revenge-based murders almost never work out.
Miranda: As much as I love Caroline and Tyler together, there's a part of me who actually wants to see Caroline and Klaus give it a whirl. Or just a hot vamp-sex roll in the hay. Caroline brings out the best in both Tyler and Klaus and I think I would be happy seeing her with either of them so long as the writers stop making her a damsel in distress so often.
Steve: Ask Caroline how she feels about that. Can you be smitten with a guy who saves your life even if he almost ended it in the first place? And if he also killed your boyfriend's mom, your BFF's aunt and countless others? The accent only goes so far, love.
Dan: No. My man Niklaus deserves better than her. She has become so lame as of late that her and Tyler deserve each other. I really wanted Klaus to just murder the both of them right then and there and be done with it.
Leigh: I don't know that Klaus is meant to be with anyone because he's such a sociopath, but I kinda really like him and Caroline together. Tyler and Caroline don't excite me as a couple anymore and they used to be the best. Caroline does have chemistry with Klaus and he's definitely in love with her. I'm not opposed to shaking it up.
Where was Matt this week?!?
Matt: Probably at home writing an essay. Or maybe studying his football playbook. Or perhaps... eh, I can't do it: the guy was at the Grill.
Miranda: D'uh. Washing his Varsity letter jacket.
Steve: Grill. Business always seems to be booming at that place despite the obscenely high murder rate there - and those double shifts? Brutal.
Dan: He was writing his college essays.
Leigh: LMAO, Miranda kills me. Washing his Varsity letter jacket." Great answer. I think Matt was probably in class because he's the only one who can't compel the administration to let him just a day off.

The Up All Night reconstruction just got A LOT more complicated.
With that sitcom already on hiatus, and with NBC planning to bring is back as a multi-camera series with a studio audience, Deadline reports star Christina Applegate will not be returning to the show. At all.
She cites this creative change as the reason why.
“It’s been a great experience working on Up All Night, but the show has taken a different creative direction and I decided it was best for me to move on to other endeavors,” Applegate said. “Working with Lorne Michaels has been a dream come true and I am grateful he brought me into his TV family. I will miss the cast, producers and crew, and wish them the best always.”
Deadline claims NBC is somehow still surging ahead with the reboot and may be eyeing Lisa Kudrow as a replacement for Applegate.
We'll update this story as more news breaks - but it may be time for NBC to cut the chord, don't you think?

As the Nikita episode began, it appeared that "Brave New World" referred to Michael and the quest to get him a new hand. By the end of the hour, that couldn't have been further from the truth. It's always about Division, isn't it?
It's the organization that won't die. Was Nikita naive to think that they could bring in the Dirty Thirty and then Division would be closed down? It was an honorable goal and ambitious mission from the beginning, especially with the President's threat of death if their existence was revealed. It was no mistake that Division was pulled back into active missions after Ryan pulled a "Percy" move of "controlling the narrative."
This turn down a dark path was started by Nikita going rogue. She's not one to blindly follow orders. If she can help someone she cares about, no matter the risk or cost, she'll do it. Her decision to go after Heidecker for Michael was not up for question, though her decision to go alone should have been. She's an experienced agent and should have known better. And, Birkhoff should have done more to convince her to take back up.
Those decisions led to Nikita's capture, an international incident, and ultimately to Division's mission ramp up. Back when Carla was around, Nikita warned of the danger of the organization. It's a statement that they should remember again.
Nikita: Division is not a shield, it's a sword. And it bleeds everything it touches. | permalink
Ryan is not Percy, but his decision to use the dead man's method signaled again the slippery slope that he must prevent. The original Division started by Carla was designed as a benevolent organization to help people and the government, but somewhere along the way it turned into a nefarious organization that thrived on power and manipulation. Going forward, it will be a balancing act for the team.
They were given four missions from the President, but why were those specific cases referred to Division? Are they honorable and in the best interest of the country? Or, were they assigned to Division because they are black ops that have a questionable basis for action? The threat of extermination has already been made, will they become the nefarious arm of the government? It's a scary thought.
Nikita's trip to Kosovo ended up being a failure. She wasn't able to get the help necessary for Michael. Though, it wasn't a complete loss. Michael is reinvigorated to find a better option to replace his hand, plus his fragile ego got a boost from participating in a successful mission in the field. That should make the transition to running ops easier for him to take and lets him know he could be in the field.
Michael now has hope again. Hope for a new hand and for a return to action. And, that should provide hope to Nikita that they can resume their happy and loving personal life too. Well ... as long as Michael doesn't become obsessed and block her out. They are such a good couple that it would be a shame if that happened.
Is Division heading to the dark side again? Is history destined to repeat itself? Can the current Division leadership team guide the organization in the right direction?

Angelico, 2012 – mulberry paper, 19 x 22 x 1.5 inches
This piece represents a midsagittal section (the one that passes through the center of the body dividing it into a left half and a right half) of the head of an angel. It is “life-size”. The work was inspired Fra Angelico’s Annunciatory Angel.
Praying Hands, 2012 – paper
This piece represents a transverse cross-section of hands in prayer position. The section passes through the large knuckles at the bases of the thumbs.
I am so excited to have stumbled across Lisa Nilsson’s latest anatomical quilled paper pieces via Colossal. Lisa’s original Tissue Series spread like wildfire as people fell in awe of the technique and amount of patience to create anatomical cross sections by quilling. Quilling is the process of rolling strips of paper around a quill and then gluing them to a surface to create decorative designs.
Lisa’s latest pieces take on a religious tone with the cross section of an angel and praying hands. Perhaps in a nod to the first quilling practiced by Renaissance nuns and monks who used the gilded edges of old Bibles.
Lisa explains the marriage between anatomy and quilling.
I find quilling exquisitely satisfying for rendering the densely squished and lovely internal landscape of the human body in cross section.
Look for her work currently on display at the exhibition, Teaching the Body: Artistic Anatomy in the American Academy held at the Boston Art Gallery, February 1 – March 31, 2013.

In a new clip from Sunday's Revenge (which was actually seen in part during one of the earlier Revenge sneak peeks from "Union"), we see Emily and Nolan talking on the eve of Jack's nuptials.
As Nolan is well aware, Jack marrying her doppelganger/alter ego makes for mixed emotions, though Ems insists she's happy for the two of them, because they deserve things to go their way.
That's when Nolan reveals a key detail about Jack's life that Emily wasn't aware of, and which may change her opinion on a lot of things, as well as influence the next move in her Revengenda.
How will this complex and multi-layered storyline play out on Sunday's episode and the following week's installment, "Sacrifice"? ABC's extended Revenge trailer is intriguing to say the least.

Time: 11 – 5 PM
Admission: $350
This class is part of The Morbid Anatomy Art AcademyThis course will introduce students to basic and fundamental taxidermy techniques and procedures. Students will be working with donated raccoon skins and will be going through the steps to do a head mount. The class is only available to 5 students, allowing for more one on one interaction and assistance. Students will be working with tanned and lightly prepped skin; there will be no skinning of the animals in class. This is a great opportunity to learn the basic steps to small and large mammal taxidermy. All materials will be supplied by the instructor, and you will leave class with your own raccoon head mount.

She is self and professionally taught, and has won multiple first place ribbons and awards at the Garden State Taxidermy Association Competition. Her work is focussed on displaying the cyclical connection between life and death and growth and decomposition. Katie is a member of the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists, and with all M.A.R.T. members she adheres to strict ethical guidelines when acquiring specimens and uses roadkill, scrap, and donated skins to create mounts.

Because of the storm, the Morbid Anatomy Library (pictured above) will NOT be open tomorrow, Saturdays February 9th. Regular open hours will resume next weekend. Tonight's "Victorian Love Affair with Death and the Art of Mourning Hair Jewelry/Morbid Anatomy Going Away Party" will, however, go on as planned. Hope to see you there!
