 THE FRUGAL FASHIONISTA: THAKOON FOR TARGET
He has dressed Michelle Obama, and his designs have been worn by fashionistas and celebrities such as Keira Knightley and Sarah Jessica Parker on the red carpet. So, if you haven't heard of Thakoon Panichgul, then you need to get out from under that rock. Thakoon was born in Northern Thailand and moved to Nebraska in his teens. Originally into photography, he discovered an eye for styling and designing. After a brief stint as an editor in Harper's Bazaar, he enrolled at Parsons School of Design in NYC. He won a nomination for the 2006 CFDA awards and that was only the beginning.

 Last week, a beloved Cleveland establishment closed its doors. The Grid (E13th and St. Clair) is no longer a weekend destination. Signs on the door say, "Redesign in Progress: See you in 2009", but rumors indicate that this infamous spot may be closing its doors forever.
I have had some great memories of that place. In fact, The Grid was the very first places that Spotcleveland ever shot. It had a huge, well-designed dance floor, perfect layout, kick-ass sound system, awesome electronic music, pool tables, friendly bartenders, and a great & fun crowd every week. Being a woman, I loved going there since, unlike some downtown night spots, The Grid is never a place where you are going to get groped, followed or otherwise harassed every time you smile at someone and I never saw one fight in all the time I spent there. People that go to the Grid just really wanted to have a good time.
