...Pontormo or Parmigianino, most of them as slender as greyhounds, are nothing like El Greco's rough-cut saints, famished men with skin the color of split timber and stiff robes draped around them like crumpled fenders. And while the Mannerist palette, all that coy bump and grind of pink and yellow, is calculated sometimes to startle, the explosive oddity of El Greco is something else altogether. In his magnificent late canvas The Adoration of the Shepherds, the yellows and crimson, acid green and purple, jammed together to ecstatic effect, are so artificial that they give parts of the scene...

Her daughter Kelsey, 10, was enthralled by absolutely everything in the store--the sequined lampshades, the frilly fairy pillows, the rugs, the window coverings and, most of all, the pink canopy bed.

"We create a theme, thinking, What's this person like? How do they really live?" explains director of merchandising Kristina Fideli-Ventura. No matter what the concept, "there's lots of color, jewels, gems, glitter," she says. Kid style is "not demure, not understated...
...sadly discovers no one is there. But he does the homework of a rather lazy little boy, Michael, who can't believe his good fortune in finding his homework miraculously done every night. Little Vampire and Michael soon meet and become friends, playing around with LV's pet, a pink, flying dog with an attitude named Hamzat. Much like Tim Burton's movie "The Nightmare Before Chistmas" Sfar's "Little Vampire" series turns creepy creatures into delightful characters. Sfar has a creative flare for the both the visualization of not-too-scary monsters and for smart stories that will surprise...
