Hello! Lovely to meet you!
Welcome friends! Lovely to have you here. So where exactly is "here"? And what on earth is a ThinkerBelle? "Here" is a blog space on all things that interest this little strategist, namely design, social media and technology. I like to think that "ThinkerBelle" (my strategist persona) lives at the intersection of these three domains. I hope you enjoy this space, please comment and don't be a stranger. I appreciate you being here. Follow me in the tweetverse if you like @thaz7.

Going Underground.
I’m puzzled and intrigued by the new “underground” phenomenon. Whether it’s speakeasy or private supper clubs, there is something in the cultural air that is encouraging us to go underground. Perhaps it’s the uneasiness of the economy–we’re stealing away to our little caves/bars, away from everyone else. Or in the same vein, it’s a general feeling of rebellion against “the man” who has spent the past 8 years or so, keeping us down (sorry, interjecting political commentary). Or maybe it’s just the revival of the spirit of the early 60’s where doing everything wrong (smoking, drinking, adultery and more) was just so “right” in direct opposition to the “do-gooderness” of the past couple years?
Last one, I certainly hope not!
Whatever it is, underground everythings are popping up around the country. Invite only, passwords and secret handshakes (OK, maybe not the last one) are all the rage. I predict Secret Societies are next. For what? Can’t tell –it wouldn’t be a secret anymore…
