| It’s Thursday night at the home of Allie Oliver-Burns and her husband Josh Burns. Tonight they’re staying in for date night, making homemade pizza. But Allie and Josh—both artists with design degrees—are no ordinary couple, and nothing about the pizza is ordinary either—just look at it! |  |
Allie is an artist in every sense of the word. She brings artistry to everything she does, be it photography, experimental music, graphic design, cooking, or jewelry-making. Her website, an artistic work in itself, is PoseManikin (www.posemanikin.com).

I first started following Allie about a year ago. I was drawn to her leather necklaces that conveyed for me a spirit both exotic and natural. I finally ordered one a few months ago, and everything from the personalized packaging to the unique design of the necklace made it special for me.

| Now Allie has a new line of jewelry out—the Mod Candy Collection. The geometric shapes conjure up the beehive hairstyles of the 50s. The playful, colorful baubles are perfect for spring. |   |
As I've followed Allie on Facebook and Twitter over the course of the year, I've seen her post amazing photographs and recipes. She has designed cd covers and shot portraits for the indy musicians Lee Hester, Damon Jones, Set on 7, and Jennings Music. Her portraits and self-portraits each convey to me the haunting, timeless quality of two of Allie's musical influences: Depeche Mode and David Bowie.
