Style is Not Superficial

Well, style can be superficial if that's the only thing that guides you, but if so, you're probably not a Mixonian reader. (BTW, Mixonian attracts many sublime goddesses.) Our tagline could be "Be smart, Look good."

By style we mean putting some effort into the appearance of your person, and of your living and work spaces. Both Puritans and extreme economists delegate everything related style to the trash bin because of their focus on net utility. For us....style really does matter.
