The Starry Eye Network of Blogs

Cosmic World
Cosmic World looks at the cosmic side of life as seen by The Starry Eye Astrologer, Madam Lichtenstein. Her posts cover new age news and opinion. Other publications by Lichtenstein are a sun sign astrology book and a Kindle-version of an article Astrology in Action, Pluto in Capricorn: Looking ahead to the next generation. You can view archives of all Cosmic World posts by date and by category here. Read about and order her astrological and tarot readings here.

Petopia
Petopia is all about pets. This blog is authored by Mary Jane Harris who resides in New York and, along with her husband, serves as 24/7 chief-of-staff for their cat, Hermione. Ms. Harris considers all creatures to be pets, some have been adopted into families and some are wild, pets-at-large so to speak. But we share in a responsibility to help care for them all. You can view archives of all Petopia posts by date and category here.

Dr. B Speaks Out
Dr. B Speaks Out is a blog where Dr. Mirjana Blokar shares her strong, provocative opinions. Dr. Mirjana Blokar is a medical doctor, board certified in the fields of psychiatry and neurology. Also a trained psychoanalyst, she is currently in private practice and is often called upon to evaluate patients in court cases. Dr. B sheds light on contemporary issues without "psycho-babble" and speaks her mind even if what she says is controversial. View archives of all Dr. B's posts by date and category here.

The Diary of a Loser
Lisa Knapp lost about 30 lbs. in the past year and she's frequently asked "what did you do?"  She's writing it here on her The Diary of a Loser blog - what she did to lose the weight, and the most difficult part - how to keep it off! She shares own struggle, obstacles she overcame, as well as interesting facts she has acquired along the way. Please email her with questions or share your own weight loss story. View archives of all the Diary of a Loser posts by date and category here.

History As You Experienced It
Rob Frydlewicz has always been fascinated by stories friends tell of what they remember when a momentous news event stopped them in their tracks. In History As You Experienced It he selects historical or pop culture events and writes what he recalls he was doing when each occurred. Share your memories by leaving a comment (after all, that's why he chose the word "You" in the blog's title). View archives of all the History As You Experienced It posts by date and category here.

The Arteur
Just like an auteur for film, The ARTeur is the creator of their art. Hosted by curator and critic George Tibbett, The Arteur blog is a showcase for all artists - both discovered and yet to be discovered- across all mediums. What inspires them? Where do they get their artistic and creative ideas? Read what art is all about, directly from the creators themselves, and see where they exhibit.

Antiquesmart
Antiquesmart answers the question: What's that antique/art worth? It is written by RD Langer who has been in the collecting field for over 50 years and has a thorough background in the art and antiques world, how auction houses work and how dealers buy and sell. He offers expert guidance on how, where and when to sell or auction your items. View archives of all the Antiquesmart posts by date and category here. Email him a photo and information of your item to request an appraisal. All appraisals are the opinions of RD Langer and are not to be interpreted as a guaranteed price or valuation at any dealer, seller or auction.

Classic Kids TV
Jo has been a TV addict/fan all her life, and traces her fascination with the medium back to those early TV shows she watched as a child. Since her stint as head of research at Sesame Workshop in the mid-1990’s, she has been intrigued by the changes in children’s television shows over the years and the role that children’s television plays in our society. Jo wants her blog to be a place where everyone can share their earliest memories of the kids’ shows they grew up watching, and what those shows meant to them. Share your memories by commenting on a post or send her an email.
