BUTCH & harold are the imaginary childhood dogs of sister team Michele and Ariane Gold. The dogs went everywhere with the girls and now have most recently become the namesake of their innovative home design collection of peel and stick artwork. Imagine - art that requires no framing, hooks or hammer! WE LOVE IT! Interview completed by Michele Gold

Why did you start BUTCH & harold?
It was born out of the frustration of living with bare walls and the expense of decorating them.

What's the coolest thing about what you do?
Coming up with great ideas and then finding out lots of other people think they're great as well!

Favorite thing you sell?
"stickr (frame)"s are my favorite because they really allow you to personalize your space with your fav pics and change them out on a whim and create a gallery display on your wall.

If you weren't running BUTCH & harold what would you be doing? I'd be producing great Broadway musicals.... because if I can't make you smile in your home with great aesthetic I'll make you smile out of your home at the theater.

What is your Fave Musical?
Definitely "Ragtime" - one of those rare shows that nails it on all levels - great music, inspiring story, goose bump moments throughout!

What types of dogs are BUTCH & harold?
Butch is a miniature doberman pinscher and Harold is a cairn terrier.

Why is BUTCH caps and harold not?
I chose to create the logo of our company with BUTCH spelled in all caps and harold spelled in lower case because I felt that through the style of the lettering the dogs' personalities are brought out - similar to their names themselves, BUTCH is more in-your-face and harold is a much more passive puppy! (BUTCH is pink and harold is orange...)

What pics do you have in your "frames"?
Since it is so easy to change it up, I like to rotate my pictures with the endless pics of my kids that I'm taking and also sometimes throw in some old pictures of friends and family for nostalgia sake!

What famous people are fans of BUTCH & harold?
Snoopy is a fan. Paris Hilton’s dog Tinkerbell has dated both BUTCH and harold. Rumor has it that Bo Obama has a few of our pieces in his new crib at the White House.

Do you twitter?
Butch does but harold is pretty low key. We have a page on Facebook though!

Any new projects in the works?
We have some new frames coming out in glam colors – pink and silver. They will be introduced this summer.

What CD is playing in the BUTCH & harold office?
A mix of the Beatles, classic 80's, Rilo Kiley and of course, showtunes!

Do BUTCH & harold wear outfits?
When posing for new packaging design BUTCH & harold love to role play - check out their conductor hats on the "stickr train (frame)" and wait till you see what they picked out for the soon-to-be-released "stickr glam (frame)". It's hot. Otherwise, they like to roll au natural.


Special TKDA offer: free "stickr (mini)" with each order, just type "TKDA" in the comments section of the check out process. Get sticking.

TKDAResume: Review of the day

“I’d recently hired a professional resume company (at a hefty fee) and was pleased with the results – AT FIRST. Then I got Keva’s e-blast about TKDA’s new resume-writing service. I wanted Keva’s opinion on my new resume because she’s always right-on with her advice.

I expected her to say I was ‘good to go.’

No such luck.

She said it didn’t effectively highlight my key strengths and wasn’t memorable enough to hook a recruiter.

So I signed up. I got my first draft less than a week later, and I was shocked by the difference.

My career experience had real impact, the language was convincing and the tone was creative, i.e. memorable. Plus, the writer had condensed the two pages to one, making it much easier to absorb at a glance.

highly recommend TKDAResume; I couldn’t be happier with their work.”

Party Memorial weekend for a GOOD cause.

Keep-a-Breast is the official beneficiary of the White Party at the Playboy mansion! I guess if anyone loves boobs it would be playmates and the ones that admire them! 20% of ticket sales benefit KAB as well as a celebrity cast auction will be going during the day including breast casts from Hef’s main girl Crystal Harris! Hope to see you there!!

TKDAResume: FLAT TO FAB

FLAT TO FAB

"As a professional writer I know how hard it is to re/write a resume.

It sucks.
It's boring.
It's tedious and can even make you question your life's work.
But it's a chore that has to be done.

This time I decided to avoid the anxiety attacks and stress by reaching out for help.

I wanted to see how someone else would describe me and give me a new perspective. So, I sent my old resume, notes, and wishes to TKDAResume for a makeover.

What I got back was nothing less than incredible. Not only did my miracle working resume writer give it a whole new look and feel, she gave me a new attitude and a huge boost to my self esteem, too!

Hands down the best cash-money I ever spent.

THANKS TKDAResume!"
