2010 REVIEW / GREATEST HITS / TIME CAPSULE

Slow and Steady Wins the Race has always addressed the issue of time by proposing ideas that balance the timely with the timeless. For our blog we asked friends, family and other people we admire to share with us what they would put in a time capsule.

Kim Hastreiter

We are delighted that Kim Hastreiter, co-founder of Paper Magazine and this year's recipient of the CFDA Eleanor Lambert Award, responded with her list this morning. For me, Kim has been a stalwart supporter from the beginning. She was one of the judges when I won the Ecco Domani Award years ago and her incredible support has never waivered. I am very pleased to kickstart this series with her.

Danielle Kays

When we first met Danielle we were also introduced to an elegant, unassuming spot in Los Angeles : South Willard. A little while later we have been happy to continue our casual working relationship through wardrobe contributions for her costuming work in film. Her other hobbies include writing -- "and stressing". She grew up in Massachusetts and currently resides in Echo Park. We hope she visits New York again soon so we can grab a long overdue afternoon tea.

10 Things You Would Put in a Time Capsule:


1. My noise canceling headphones. They’ll look ridiculous in 2000 and question mark! All big and bulky, but I love them more than most acquaintances.

2. A mix cd – barely relevant in its form, but an external hard drive is kind of a buzz kill. My mixes still consist of 80% older music, so I’d think it would be funny to confuse whoever opens the capsule - like, “I thought they were only allowed to listen to Lady Gaga in the old days”.

3. A picture of an alien.

4. A note saying: “Tweeting was the culprit, right? I knew it!”

5. Freaks and Geeks boxset.

6. My journal, cause by then, who cares? Actually I’ll still care. Scratch that.

7. My boyfriends newly acquired green sneakers. I think he wants to wear them just cause they were free. Putting them in a time capsule is nicer than throwing them away.

8. A preserved cheeseburger from the Apple Pan.

9. A preserved cheeseburger from Pie and Burger.

10. A note with 2 boxes to check – which burger was better?

Ninh Wysocan

bronze mobile by Ninh Wysocan

Ninh Wysocan grew up in the island of Guam. Her appreciation of nature was first sparked there, where she spent hours with her sister swimming in the coral reefs. The tangled shapes she discovered touched off an appreciation of nature's eccentric forms that she explores in her jewelry to this day. Since she started her jewelry business in 2003, she has been making each piece by hand using layering chains, forged rings, unique castings and unusual gemstones to create pieces that are both intricate and subtly detailed. She is based in NYC.

Glasser

Glasser is the one-woman orchestra of Cameron Mesirow. Her debut album, Ring, is a singular work. It moves like the wake of a small boat in a still lake: each song its own, but leading to, and becoming, the next. In doing so it builds on the tradition of classic albums like Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks, Joni Mitchell’s Blue, and R. Kelly’s Trapped In the Closet song-cycle: albums that as a whole create stories that are bigger than the sum of their individual songs. for more information go to truepanther.com
