Sparky is for everyone. Welcome.

Sparky curates the internet to facilitate free thinking,
encourage individual responsibility, stimulate creativity and
enable appreciation of form, function and design in all things.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Window Shoppin’

Window shopping was synonymous with being in the city and moreover offered women a legitimate reason to be able to move around in public without a chaperone. In the late 1800s it was a minor scandal to be seen in public without a chaperone because not everyone was happy about the emancipation of women in urban life. Many looked down on females who walked the streets alone and even newspaper columnists condemned their shopping habits as “salacious acts of public consumerism.” – Aleks Selection – http://walkowska.com
