I want to thank everyone that supports this blog. It has been an amazing year couple years since I started this endeavor, and I continually receive positive feedback about this site and the models that it showcases. I have not updated for a while because I have focused my attention on other important projects like my family and work life.Multimedia: Mayflower

On the one-year anniversary of Liz Taylor's death, LIFE.com presents previously unpublished photographs of Taylor and her co-star (and soul mate) Montgomery Clift, from the set of the 1951 classic, A Place in the Sun .

An irreverent, surprising, and fresh approach to teaching social history to secondary schoolers, American Dynasties is an immersive digital video game where players live the lives of Americans from eras past. Imagine a learning experience where students are thrust into the everyday hustle and bustle of a century or to ago. Where they find themselves enslaved in an antebellum town, or caught up in a strike in a Massachusetts textile mill, or riding the rails in the Depression.
