By LB Indy Staff on May 01st, 2014

Three generations of Sonenshines continue to support Human Options; from left, Danny, Sheila, Igal, Maggi, Kerri and Sarah.

The Sonenshine family of Laguna Beach will be honored at Serious Fun, the Human Options fundraiser on May 9 at the Balboa Bay Resort, 1221 W. Coast Highway, Newport Beach.

The family has been instrumental in assisting Human Options, which provides a safe haven and life changing programs to help abused women, their children, since the organization began 33 years ago when Justice Sheila Prell Sonenshine counseled clients on the legal process. The familys involvement extended to Ygal and Sheilas son Danny and wife Kerri, who have both served on the board of directors and in a variety of other leadership positions for the past 13 years.Their young daughters Maggie, 12, and Sarah, 8, conduct their own fundraisers for Human Options including an annual Halloween costume drive, lemonade stands, birthday gift donations and art projects.

The evening begins with a red carpet welcome at 6 p.m. proceeding to a poolside silent auction and cocktail hour followed by dinner in the ballroom, a live auction, awards program and live music and dancing.

Individual tickets to the event are $400. For more information, call 949.737.5242 or visit http://www.humanoptions.org.

Some moms prefer their post-baby bodies stretch marks and all

Most mothers can agree that having a baby forever changes your body, whether its fuller hips, a softer midsection or breasts that are never quite as perky as they once were. And we live in a culture where "getting your pre-baby body back" is assumed to be a nearly universal post-partum goal.

But some moms are just fine with their post-baby body, finding that with those changes comes a new kind of strength and an appreciation for what theyre physically capable of doing.

Although 70 percent of women said they feel worse about how their body looks after having kids, 30 percent of moms like their body better and feel more powerful and confident" in their looks, according to a 2013TODAY.com survey of more than 3,000 women.

I went through the body image thing a lot of girls go through in college, when I was fixated on my body and my weight, says Leslie Goldman of Chicago, mom of a 2-year-old daughter who is expecting her second child in six weeks. None of that was a part of my life after my late twenties, but postpartum is still so freeing and empowering for me to watch my body in a whole new light, healing from surgery and still producing food to feed my baby.

The History Of Graphic Design, In Icons

Posted: at 4:40 am

We know two things for sure about the guys over at Brooklyn's Pop Chart Lab: they love drinking, and they love good graphic design.

Their latest poster is a tribute to the entire history of the latter: The gridded, black-and-white poster is a cheat sheet to the history of graphic design, beginning with the Victorian era.

Start at the top, left-hand corner, of A Stylistic Survey of Graphic Design, and read from left to right. Each era (say, Arts & Crafts or Art Nouveau) is represented by a rectangular box that includes several squares that graphically represent the style described. The Modern movement, one of the largest movements depicted here, includes Bauhaus, Vorticism, De Stijl, New Typography and Istotope, Constructivism, Suprematicsm, and Futurism. Pop Chart creates, within each stamp-sized box, a visual representation of that particular style, with the design elements that prevailed at the time. So the Constructivism box echoes the intense Soviet Party posters from the 1920s, the Futurism box has a bold, attention-grabbing arrow on it, and so on.

It's telling that certain eras--eras that were niche or short-lived, or which are still emerging--get just one box. (This includes Dada, Digital, and Street Art/Guerrilla.)

Scan down to the bottom for a sampling of todays reigning design philosophies. Are they right? Theres data visualization, theres the twee, chalkboard-loving school of handcrafted, and theres flat design. But where's skeuomorphism? Each box is efficiently packed, providing an at-a-glance answer to any designer who might ask: What, again, were the defining elements of the Late Modern Polish School era? For the rest of us, it's just nice to look at.

Pre-order A Stylistic Survey of Graphic Design for an early bird price of $23, here.

6 Of The Boldest Concept Cars Ever Built

Posted: at 4:40 am

Atlanta's High Museum of Art is opening an exhibition of some of the rarest and boldest concept cars ever built. At a time when cars are getting plainer and plainer, and teens and twenty-somethings can barely be bothered to get a driver's license, it's a reminder why generations of Americans handed over 52 weeks of salary for a dream on four wheels.

Take the Lancia (Bertone) Stratos HF Zero. This metallic wedge is pure 1980s futurism, but it was actually built in 1970--thats the year after this seasons Mad Men takes place, for those keeping count. The Zero was designed by Marcello Gandini. If you think the Zero looks a bit like a Lamborghini, thats not so crazy. He also designed the Lamborghini Miura and Countach, the latter of which shares the Zero's aggressive, spear-like posture. But Gandini was no one-trick pony. He also design the remarkably groomed original BMW 5 series, the cooler-in-retrospect Citron BX, and a tiny, cubby bear of a car, the Innocenti Mini. Additionally, he invented those absurd and eye-catching scissor doors we associate with supercars to this day.

Only one Zero was made. The same is true for another car in the exhibit, the General Motors Firebird I XP-21. This thing is literally a jet on wheels. Its turbine engine spewed jet exhaust at 1,250 F. It was so sketchy that the driver was never supposed to push the throttle beyond 100mph. And you know what GM did with the Firebird I XP-21's co-creator Harley J. Earl after it came out? They didnt fire him. As the first top-level executive designer in American history, they basically gave him carte blanche, allowing him to introduce the world to both tailfins and the Corvette, too; later, he retired. (Its worth noting, Earl is credited with creating the original concept car as a way to build hype around design, the Buick Y-Job.)

These are incredible cars. And theyre on display at the museum May 21 to September 7, 2014.
