I love this biography of Mary Blair, Walt Disney's favorite artist. She was raised in the same small town I grew up in and ended up designing everybody's least favorite ride - It's a Small World. #candycolouredcovers #feistyfeb

saresmoore Alright, @McShelfington, that's the second annoying song you've put in my head this week! Still, I love your posts and I will remain a devoted follower. But I draw the line at references to overnight YouTube sensations! 8y
SuperPunkNinja @saresmoore Sorry! That wasn't my intention (this time). If it makes you feel better, it's stuck in my head too. 😀 8y
