We are the Creative Class, Oui?

We live in a classless society (ya, right!), yet somehow there has been an identified emergence of a new class: The Creatives. According to a few professors, these are:

- Super-Creatives: e.g. science, engineering, education, computer programming, research, arts, design, and media workers . Those belonging to this group are considered to “fully engage in the creative process” . The Super-Creative Core is considered innovative, creating commercial products and consumer goods. Their primary job function is to be creative and innovative.

- Creative Professionals: knowledge-based workers and include those working in healthcare, business and finance, the legal sector, and education. They “draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems” using higher degrees of education to do so.

Creative Class has the three ‘T’s:

Talent (highly talented/educated/skilled),

Tolerance (a diverse community, which has a ‘live and let live’ ethos), and

Technology (have the technological infrastructure necessary to fuel an entrepreneurial culture).

I have been reading about Jean-Paul Sartre lately, and he is turning out to be quite an iconic character for me. Sartre was a French philosopher, writer & a political activist.

A Sunday kind of love..

The search for a perfect card holder continues.

Since cash is becoming obsolete, and all banking is done online, I no longer need a filing cabinet of a wallet. My tiny Furla cardholder (which I treated myself with in Luzern, Switzerland, 4 years ago) is showing the wear-n-tear, so I’m on the lookout for a new piece of leather to hold my plastic.

Here are some of my contenders:

I’d say the Prada is the best choice – sleek, timeless & “reasonably” priced, compared to the LV. Too bad none of these ship to Canada.

Bat for Lashes.
