Re the “star:”It is a shame that designers repeat the same trite symbols in much of the products designed for sale to the general public. The ubiquitous “star” along with these other symbols even appears in jewelry – earrings, pendants, etc. – studded with expensive diamonds and sold by “celebrity designers” to the rich and famous. Such symbols of kitch like the star, the crescent, the cross, the “smiley” face, the X shape, the “daisy” and the “rose” flower shapes, and so many others are so ingrained in our lexicon of “artistic stuff” that they will probably never disappear or lose appeal. Just look at the tattoos shown on the Discovery Channel’s “Miami Inked” or the variations on the human skeleton which decorate so many “custom” motorcycles. (Of course, many of those symbols are copyright-free.) The technology exists today for putting accurate images of the planets (or anything) on shower curtains – or anything else; but there wouldn’t be much of an interest in such an item – except for a limited few folks, of course. The familiar images would surely prevail. Perhaps, as more and more of the “real” as captured by Hubble and other improved telescopes comes into the public”s focus, folks might abandon these old, overworked images and accept some really new designer fashions – at least in shower curtains.

I wonder if The Little Astronomer has to clean her bathroom on her own. It’s very important to take care of your own bathroom, very important. A clean bathroom creates atmosphere for innovative thinking. No doubts there.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait… Little Astronomer has her own bathroom? Fascinating! I must visit this mythical land of “California” where the ground moves and every child has her own lavatory!
